052. Black Prince (2)

The K4s, the most powerful figures in the Robera Guild, were shocked by the man’s words. Who on earth is he to act so brazenly? He’s not even the EL mentioned in the report, so they were dumbfounded by his attitude and how he can confidently talk about what he can do.

“What the heck is this…….”

At that moment, Jones interrupted K4 and continued speaking hurriedly. It seemed like he had to convey the message before an unpleasant incident occurred.

“He… he is the Black Prince!”

“What… what?”

K4, of course, and K1 and K2 who had been sitting still, couldn’t help but be surprised. J4 is a smart and skilled person who always does his work neatly and perfectly without making any mistakes. Because of this, his colleagues often envy him and act selfishly, but they couldn’t help but be surprised because they always trusted his information.

There was silence. At Jones’s words, the K4s felt a mixture of confusion and doubt.

The Black Prince is estimated to be an S-rank based on the information gathered. S-rank refers to the power of an individual to overturn the situation in a war between nations.

It is considered to be a being that has surpassed the abilities that humans can produce. The S-rank revealed in Robera’s information is an extremely small number, with less than 20 people in the entire world. In the past, the master of the Enka Guild received the unprecedented evaluation of an R-rank, but since he disappeared, the R-rank is practically a non-existent rank.

The first to break the silence was the white-haired K1.

“No matter how good the report is from J4, it needs to be verified that the author is the Black Prince.”

K3 seemed to have regained his composure at his words, and continued speaking while interlocking his long fingers and resting his chin on them.

“That’s true. I’ve heard that there are many A-ranked people who act like the Black Prince.”

Icarone listened quietly to their words. He wanted to see what conclusions they would reach and whether they had the wisdom and intelligence to work together. At that moment, a man’s voice was heard.

“The author is the Black Prince…… that’s right.”

The owner of the low-pitched voice was none other than the black-haired K2. There was a slight tremor in the hand holding the pen.

‘Do you know me?’

His behavior raised questions. Humans unconsciously express their psychological state through their bodies. Icarone has the power of observation to not miss even the smallest actions. The state that was clearly expressed through his actions and voice was either ‘fear’ or ‘excitement’.

But he put aside his thoughts, as many would have witnessed his battle with their own eyes. The other masked men all turned their heads to the man.

“K……2?”

“How can you be so sure?”

K1 remained silent and just looked at K2. It was a silent expression of wanting a specific explanation. At that moment, K2 suddenly put down his pen and stood up.

“I guarantee that the author is the Black Prince. And I will accept whatever the author demands. That’s it.”

After K2 left, silence fell over the room.

This is an unexpected action by K2, who is usually very smart and never loses his composure and coolness. The other K4s felt suspicious, but since he had gone out, they could only stare blankly in the direction he disappeared to.

At that moment, Icarone opened her mouth. It wasn’t the situation she had thought of, but she had read that now was the most appropriate time to speak.

“There are two things I want. You will continuously search for the information I want by mobilizing all of the guild’s manpower and information power, and you will report on the progress periodically. Then I will take on whatever you want.”

Adding one person’s identity to the information network is not that difficult. However, it was difficult to accept him who had barged into the headquarters so brazenly.

However, if the Black Prince is clear, he will fill in the lack of force, the greatest weakness of the Robera Guild, to the brim. If he causes chaos with force, there is a huge problem that it is impossible to control, but why would he do such a thing when he came for the purpose of utilizing information? If he comes to Robera… … The unification of the Information Guild may no longer be a dream.

In any case, if it is not real, it is possible to remove or control it within the guild. If it is a spy or informant from another place, the main unit can be moved. After a brief moment of calculation, K1 met K3 and K4’s eyes and nodded.

With Icarone’s admission to the Robera Guild confirmed, Iel and Ieri also joined as regular members. Icarone had told Jones in advance that he was accepting assassination requests, but did not tell them. This was because he did not want Iel to be forced to commit assassination for his own personal purposes.

Today is the day I officially receive the title of senior member of the main unit. When I came here with Jones a few days ago, it was late at night and I entered through the back door, so I only saw a limited part of it. I could have just gotten the badge from someone, but since I will be coming here often anyway, I decided to take a look around.

The Lobera headquarters looked like a mansion of a wealthy person. It was centered around a large three-story building, with two villas on either side that seemed to be where guests stayed. From the entrance, there was a neatly dressed female gatekeeper, a gardener tending the garden, and inside, only people dressed as maids and butlers could be seen. To anyone, it looked like an ordinary nobleman’s mansion. However, except for a few of them, they were all said to be high-ranking members.

Everyone I met at the mansion had an uneasy expression on their face. They had gone through all sorts of hardships to get to this point, and they were dissatisfied that someone they had never met before was suddenly put in the same position as them.

Perhaps it is a natural reaction.

“Is that the guy who came all of a sudden?”

“What kind of guy is he that he’s promoted right away? Isn’t that unusual?”

“It doesn’t look like much…….”

Icarone left their murmurs behind and followed Jones to K4’s office. At that moment, a familiar man greeted Jones. Pale skin and sharp features. It was the man named Cian that I had seen at the mercenary group window. He shook hands with Icarone, still looking neat and tidy, with not a single hair hanging down.

“Nice to meet you. I hope to see you often in the future.”

“Okay.”

After a brief greeting with him, I passed by and Jones came up to me and whispered.

“That guy may look so gentle, but he’s actually scary. He didn’t even bat an eyebrow when they skinned him alive. Ugh… If I were you, I’d just cut off his balls. That’s a terrible hobby.”

Icarone nodded slightly. Thinking back on his appearance, it struck her that such a cruel appearance strangely suited him.

When you go up to the third floor, there are four rooms on either side. Unlike the other rooms, the door is decorated with gold trim and red silk, giving off a luxurious feel. Jones went to the room marked F and knocked on the door.

-dripping.

“Come in.”

As if he had been waiting, the answer came right away. It was the voice of a man with short yellow hair. Jones opened the door and gestured to Icarone. It seems that he avoids uncomfortable places because he is in charge.

Inside, a man wearing a black mask that still covered his entire face greeted Icarone.

“Welcome, I’ve been waiting for you.”

He seemed to have quite a lot to say as he pulled his body, which had been leaning against the chair, and placed his hands on the desk, folding his fingers. Icarone nodded and sat down in the chair prepared opposite him.

“I’m sorry I doubted you last time. You know, that’s what we do…….”

Icarone answered, looking around at the antique bookshelves on either side of his desk.

“I don’t really care, but you don’t even know my name, do you? That’s so great of an intelligence agency…….”

I joined to utilize the information power, but if the ability is not good, it is disappointing even for Icarone. K4, who understood the meaning, slightly pulled his head. It was difficult to see his expression because he was still covered by the mask.

“Hmm… I don’t know why, but the Kingdom of Cloud keeps your name a secret. The reason we were able to confirm that you were the Black Prince was because the Silver-Haired Witch and the Magician of Mudelli, Ierie, were present. We’ve never heard of your name, and now, aside from the high-ranking executives of Cloud, we’re probably the only ones who know that the Black Prince’s name is Icarone. Of course, the other members don’t know either, and only the K-line.”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

At Icarone’s reaction, K4 relaxed his gaze as if he was taken aback, leaned back in his chair, and continued speaking.

“That is…… but our intelligence is known not only on this continent but also across the sea. We buy information at great prices and entrust difficult tasks to you. So whatever you want, if it is information, you will be able to get it right away. So the first task we will entrust to you is……”

I like how he talks directly to the main point without beating around the bush or beating around the bush. It is not Icarone’s style to hesitate because he thinks the other person might feel uncomfortable. K4’s mouth opened again.

“It’s an escort.”

“escort?”

Icarone reflexively questioned the unexpected words. I naturally thought it would be an assassination mission, but it seems like they also take on such tasks.

“Yes. As I said before, we often receive difficult tasks that are difficult to entrust to regular mercenaries. This escort mission is no different. We were also considering this request when you came in. You are the perfect fit. An unknown person who can protect the client from any danger.”

K4’s eyes shone through the mask.

Icarone and Jones left the main unit. They would no longer be coming to this mansion with its strange atmosphere. The mid-level agents would come to you on their own for any requests… Jones said that it would be easier to work in various ways if you raised your mercenary rank to C~B, so it would be good to take on mercenary requests whenever you had time. If you raised it above that, you would attract the attention of other guilds and information groups, which would be counterproductive, so he recommended only raising it to that level.

The escort request is in about a week. I plan to complete at least one simple request during that time.

Reina opened a general store. Icarone and Ierie had little money, so Eel helped out a lot, but it was still a small space that only cost 200 gold. Fist-sized flower pots were neatly arranged on wooden shelves on the wall, and next to the counter, a single flower with a bright fragrance was placed in a thin glass bottle. Although it was a general store, it was decorated cutely and prettily in Reina’s style.

Since no goods had arrived yet, we used the storage space behind the bed as our lodging. Icarone slept at the counter, but because of her membership in the Robera Guild, she didn’t come into the house to the point where it was difficult for the other women to even see each other.

Today was Icarone’s day, my first visit in almost a week.

‘There are a lot of people.’
