82 Entering the Beginning of the Novel

[???'s POV]

"Are you sure about this?" my wife asked me.

"Never been more sure about anything in my life before," I answered.

She was worried about me but I needed her to know that her worry was futile.

It didn't matter what happened to me on this mission. As long as I did what needed to be done, that was more than enough.

"How are you going to get past the headmistress's eyes? Ever since our king has announced his return, she's been extremely paranoid about everything that enters and exits her academy."

"Don't worry about that. She should be preoccupied with a little gift I had prepared for her. That'll give me plenty of time to infiltrate and kill a few students."

I don't know why my king wants me to put my life on the line just to kill some weaklings when my talents could be used elsewhere but as a loyal subject, I do not question nor doubt his judgement.
