Climbing onto rooftops in the dead of night… who else could it be but an assassin?
"So soon?" Her eyes darkened. "General Ronald really isn't afraid of death."
"Let's go take a look," she said coldly.
If General Ronald truly believed that sending an assassin would end her, then he was gravely mistaken.
With Black and White perched on her shoulders, Zora stepped out into the courtyard.
"Since you're already here," her voice rang clearly into the night, calm and unhurried, "stop hiding and come out. It'll save us both some trouble."
On the rooftop, Keiran's eyes narrowed in surprise.
This woman was nothing like what he expected.
He had hesitated when he learned his target was the Prince's Consort, but the reward was too tempting to refuse. Once the job was done, he would leave the Imperial City for good.
The next instant, Keiran leapt down from the roof, landing squarely in front of Zora.
Her eyes swept over him once, instantly judging his cultivation.
Late-stage Sky Realm.
