The first person to arrive was Leshak.
“Welcome back, Your Majesty”
Leshak stood before Karum and the other Knights who had come to meet him.
He dismounted his horse lighty, and handed over the reins as though he were tossing them at the nearest person.
“The rest are still on their way. Tell the guards to wait a little bit. It seems that Kemened’s surprise attack didn’t happen. Have you heard from the scouts?”
“Not yet, My Lord. But…”
Leshak cut off the words that were about to continue.
“What about Radan? Is he asleep?”
“Your Majesty,”
To not waste time, Leshak walked quickly to his quarters. The Guardian Knights followed quickly behind him.
Leshak asked Karum, who was following him and standing close enough to brush his shoulders.
“How many sweets did you feed him?”
“……Your Majesty,”
“Oh, all right. I don’t want to know. As long as it wasn’t enough to give him a stomachache, I’ll be satisfied.”
Concluded Leshak to himself and walked on faster.
“Done walking?”
“Your Majesty,”
“No, that’s fine too. I’ll ask him myself.”
“Your Majesty,”
Leshak thought that his chest felt strangely heavy. Actually, it has been like that for a long time now. Perhaps it has been since the Kemened assassin spoke about the curse of the Blue Serpent.
With every step he took a step if felt as though his heart were pounding and it was getting heavier.
To try to ignore that heavy feeling, he increased his pace and continued to accelerate. Leshak quickly crossed the camp and reached the barracks.
“Your Highness!”
Karum, who followed after him holding his breath until his face turned red, called after him. Leshak ignored those words.
“Bring me some water to wash. I don’t need to eat, tonight was too long.”
Leshak pulled back the curtain.
“Radan.”
He called out to Radan.
“Your Majesty!”
At the same time, Karum called after Leshak.
“Radan, are you sleeping?”
“Sir, I have something to tell you.”
“Radan.”
“Majesty,’
“…….”
Leshak’s expression stopped as he entered the barracks. Then suddenly his heart began to get even heavier again.
The interior of the tent wasn’t much different from before he left.
There was only one thing different…
That was that Radan couldn’t be seen.

“Where’s Radan?”
Asked Leshak as he stared at the empty bed.
The chairs and blankets left by the bed were still there.
Every time he looked at the chair he thought of Radan, who sometimes slept crouching under it. He knew that Radan’s hand had clasped the hem of that blanket and covered his feet, staying there all morning.
I like…
That’s what Radan had said before he left.
Leshak knew that Radan liked him even before he heard it.
It will be harder not to know it. Every time he drew near, Radan noticed very quickly. He would listen and strain, moving the tip of his nose closer. Radan looked for him with all the senses, except his eyes.
All of the existence of one man, Radan, was focused on him. Radan did not see him but paradoxically, Leshak felt the deepest, vividus, most desperate gaze from Radan.
Radan liked him.
It was a truth that even God could not deny.
“Your Majesty…….”
It was only then that he could hear Karum calling him.
Leshak turned his head and rubbed his chest, as though his heart had become too heavy to hold in at all.
Karum’s expression was very unfamiliar.
His expression looked as heavy as Leshak’s own heart.
“There is something you need to see.”
Leshak‘s reply, pressed down by the weight in his heart, continued very slowly.
“…… Is that something that should take precedence over Radan?”
“Your Majesty…… “
Karum flinched, as his shoulders shook. Leshak’s senses narrowed keenly. Narrow and sharp. Like a day bound to something.
Leshak noticed that every time the word ‘Radan’ came out of his mouth, Karum flinched.
“I’ll ask again. Is that what I have to see, the reason Radan’s not here now?”
“That…… yes, My Lord.”
What is happening with dear Radan.
Crack–
His heart was pounding.
Leshak clenched his fists very tightly.
“…….Bring it.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
Karum nodded and took a step back.
As he glanced backwards, the soldiers quickly left the barracks as though they had already spoken in advance.
After a while they returned with four corpses.

“…….”
The walls were cold and damp.
Radan knew what that meant. It meant he was under the ground.
Behind the iron gate where he stayed at Asilah Palace was always as wet and cold as it is now. The chill from underground, which gradually took away the body’s temperature, was like a gap somewhere in the body.
Little by little, something always leaked out. One day it was body temperature, the next day it was tears. The next day, the sensation, and the next day, the emotions.
There was no use trying to stop it.
Radan lifted his head from the wall and laid it on his shoulder.
Even small movements were difficult because both his hands and feet were shackled.
“Still……”
Because…… he wasn’t dead.
His memory returned to that dizzying moment.
At that moment when Karum’s face came into view.
Without having to seek out his voice, body temperature, and body smell, Radan knew he was Karum.
All Radan could do was close his eyes tightly and shout.
“Don’t look into my eyes!”
Karum grabbed his shoulders. Without any resistance, Radan was dragged out by him.
The way he treated him was no longer polite or careful.
Radan knew that Karum’s kindness had ended.
His heart ached. He knew soon enough that the things that Leshak had bestowed upon him would disappear in such a moment.
Everything was gone.
All that was left for Radan was the small consolation that Karum was not dead.
Why didn’t he die?
Radan thought and thought. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out the answer, but now all he could do was think.
Perhaps ……the curse has been lifted? Can I see people with my own eyes now?
But he couldn’t be sure because it had passed so quickly.
Moreover, Radan still vividly remembered the dream that pressed him until just before Karum captured him.
“The curse……”
It said that the curse would be completed and that Leshak would die.
It was said that he was the one who would complete the curse, so there was no way the basilisk’s eyes would’ve disappeared.
“…….”
Radan bit his lip for a moment, then opened his teeth and ripped off the hem of his sleeve.
Radan forcibly ripped both sleeves and made the two sleeves longer. The shackles kept scratching his skin. Radan was only able to close his eyes after covering both wrists.
“He won’t die.”
Radan clasped his hands tightly.
“Oh, he’s not going to die.”
Radan ran his fingertips over the cloth that covered his eyes.
No matter what happens, he will not kill Prince Leshak.
Even in exchange for my eyes.

“The Unknown Assassin is correct.”
Of the four corpses, the form of three of them were familiar to Leshak’s men.
The distinct signature of melting both of the eyes was evidence that the Unknown Assassin had visited.
Even if young Colonel Custer’s pants were half peeled off to expose his hideous lower body, and even if they can guess what he was trying to do based his father’s filthy sexual proclivities, the person who made those corpses was the undoubtedly the Unknown Assassin.
“Then with everything that has ever happened, this must be right.”
Sidris said with a confused expression on his face. He, Abadd, and other Knights had just arrived at the military camp, and were confronted with the corpses.
Now that the incidents in slums from which they had previously denied were suddenly revealed by this graphic evidence, they felt an embarrassment equal to it.
Abadd spoke with an anguished expression.
“Perhaps everything was calculated from the moment he first met His Majesty. As a way of accessing the interior of the Leshak Army…,”
Bang!-
Abadd’s words were shattered by a sudden noise.
“……Your Majesty,”
The back of one of the chairs broke.
However, it was doubtful that it was the only thing that was broken.
Maybe something invisible was broken together.
“Don’t be quick. Nothing is confirmed yet.”
“Karum said he saw it firsthand, Your Majesty.”
Sidris stepped forward.
This situation shocked him too.
What was most intolerable for him was that, despite the lingering suspicions that were right in front of them, everyone turned a blind eye to them.
The Unknown Assassin wandered around the military base using The Crown Prince’s favor as his shield.
No one knows what he saw or heard.
It was all their fault. They surrendered too easily because of Leshak’s stubbornness. They should have been more persistent.
“Are you really going to deny it?”
“…..Okay. Karum.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
Leshak called for Karum, and Karum came forward.
“What did you see?”
“…… It’s just like I said, Your Majesty. He decided to go for a walk so we went into the forest. I think he ran into Count Custer and the others while I was away for a while, trying to catch a bird.”
“And, what next?”
“I didn’t see the details either. When I got there, Count Custer and his party were all dead.”
“And?”
“And…….huh?”
Karum faltered.
Everything he saw was accurate and clear. He didn’t want to believe it, but he couldn’t help but to believe it.
“And….. he ran away, and I pursued him.”
“And?”
“And…… That’s all, My Lord.”
“Think once more. You must have missed something.”
“No…… no, Sire.”
Karum stared at Leshak.
Only now did he understand what Leshak’s words meant.
He is not able to accept it.
Just like him at first.
“Look closely at the bodies, Your Majesty. There is no doubt that he is the Unknown Assassin. I saw it with my own eyes.”
“No, it can’t be.”
Leshak shook his head and denied Karum’s words.
“This speculation as to whether Radan might be the Unknown Assassin is finished. It doesn’t make sense, Radan has had dozens of chances to kill me. Radan is not an assassin.”
Sidris intervened.
“There are many ways to aid in warfare besides assassination, Your Majesty. Perhaps what the Unknown Assassin wanted was information from Leshak’s army rather than His Highness’s life. Isn’t Kemened making some suspicious movements right now? It can only be that the Unknown Assassin has somehow conveyed information.”
“How? Tell me. How did Radan communicate with the enemy without my knowledge? Except for me, there have only been a few of you that Radan has had dealings with. Putting me aside, are you suggesting that one of you is a Kemened spy?”
“There are many ways for him to tell them. The Unknown Assassin was alone with the ‘Tailor’ and ‘The Messenger’ for a time, he could have communicated with him without saying a word.”
“All of you said it was the pimp!”
“I,”
Leshak uttered a sound close to a shout and Sidris shut his mouth unconsciously.
The inside of the barracks heated up. Leshak waved his hand toward the Guardian Knights.
“If you want to say that Radan is the Unknown Assassin, bring me something else. Not corpses that can’t talk. At best, they’re only evidence that the Unknown Assassin was in the same place where Radan was.”
“Your Majesty, you shouldn’t say that yet.”
Leshak cut off his words quickly.
He gestured with emotion. He genuinely seemed to think of all this was just a tiresome, insignificant fuss.
Or did he just want to think that way?
“And from what the corpse was doing, there’s no doubt that what young Count Custer had done deserved death. Dump the body anywhere you deem appropriate. Let it be known to the estate that the title of Count is to be revoked. It is okay to take the rest of the wealth, but the household will never again enjoy the honor of being the Nobility of the Empire again!”
“Your Majesty,”
“Everyone, if you understand, get out! Where is Radan now?”
“I,”
“Are you all deaf?”
Leshak shouted again.
The Guardian Knights, including Abadd, witnessed the fact he was so bothered, that his hands were trembling constantly.
Leshak was trembling!
The Prince of purity and righteousness.
He’s never been shaken.
The spectacle brought everyone to a standstill.
They didn’t know what to do.
“Your Majesty.”
It was Karum who stepped forward.
He has already been through this situation. After having pursued Radan, he was the first to have this trust ruined.
Radan was the Unknown Assassin. Leshak had to accept it too.
Even Karum knew that everything Leshak had given to the Unknown Assassin was real. It will take some time to get it back.
But now they were at war, and time was too precious for the Crown Prince of the Empire.
“Your Majesty. I saw it with my own two eyes.”
He said in a mournful voice.
He was going to say the same thing over and over again until Leshak could accept it.
“I saw very clearly with my own two eyes. The Unknown Assassin said: If I didn’t want to die, don’t look at him. He wouldn’t say that if he wasn’t the Unknown Assassin, Your Majesty.”
“…….”
Instead of answering, Leshak raised his head.
Karum felt that he should stand firm on behalf of the wavering Leshak. He looked straight at Leshak and spoke again.
“I saw it with my own eyes. I’m not mistaken. He’s the Unknown Assassin…… “
Then something that no one expected happened.
Leshak grabbed Karum by the neck and held the knife to his throat.
“……!”
Not even a sigh was uttered. No one even thought of stopping Leshak.
Leshak, who’s judgment had shattered somehow, raised the blade and asked.
“You will have to choose the right answer. Did you really see Radan kill Count Custer with your own eyes?”
Leshak’s voice was very low. It was so low that it looked like it was going to break apart.
“Did you really see it?”
His jaw trembled.
But Karum knew that it wasn’t because he was afraid of the blade under his chin, it was because Leshak’s hand was shaking as he held him.
Karum closed his eyes instead of moaning.
There was only one answer he could give now.
“Yes, My Lord.”
Yes!
The first person to arrive was Leshak.
“Welcome back, Your Majesty”
Leshak stood before Karum and the other Knights who had come to meet him.
He dismounted his horse lighty, and handed over the reins as though he were tossing them at the nearest person.
