"Dad, what are you busy with here?" Leonard walked over quickly, "What are you, I can't understand! You are busy with this every day, aren't you tired?"

"Did you feel tired when you practice sword skills every day to temper your body?" Duke Myrones still did not raise his head.

"Not tired at all! Hehe, I like it very much~" Leonard said as he smiled embarrassedly, "You really can't learn this hobby~"

"Leonard, why are you practicing martial arts?"

"Of course it's to become stronger!"

"What after becoming stronger?"

"Go to defeat stronger opponents!"

"continue."

"Um...and then...well, it should be gone." Leonard thought for a moment, "It was because he defeated others that he felt very happy...! The more people he could defeat, the more comfortable he felt!"

"If you let go of the fight, how many soldiers can you defeat in a day?"

"Hundred and eighty should be fine!"

"Leonard." Myrons nodded gently, "Do you know that with a slight stroke of this for your father, how many people have to bow down? How many people have to pay taxes?"

"I can't count it." Leonard rolled his eyes, "not just nodding and paying money and food, right? Central weapons and equipment are very popular in the Western Region."

"It's also very popular in most areas of the North." Myrons paused a little after saying that, "It's going to be all soon."

"What does it mean?" Leonard was a little confused, "What's wrong with the North... what's wrong with the North?"

"Something you won't like is about to happen," said Myrons. "Some time ago, Marquis Lelan personally came to Shen'en City to discuss matters related to weapons orders... I also gave him some small gifts, which he should be useful."

"I don't care what's going on in the northern border!" Leonard waved his hand, "Compared to this, how is my brother now? You asked me to come to Shen'en City directly, and I didn't have time to go back to my hometown..."

"Your brother manages the Central Realm very well." Myrons nodded, "Ore mining, metal smelting, and the sale of armed forces, and the conquest of the Corey tribe, are all well organized, and even have plenty of money... I hope you can be as capable as he is."

"I feel my head hurts when I look at the documents." Leonard glanced at the parchment scroll beside Myrons, and then looked away: "I can't make corrections to these things!"

“It’s not about asking you to correct documents, it’s about asking you to do something that suits you more.”

"You know what I am good at, you can't do it anymore, fight, kill people..."

"I need you to kill someone."

"Oh...!" Leonard was excited for a moment, and soon calmed down: "Who is killed?

"A girl is not over twenty years old this year."

"Ha? Dad, are you confused? Let me kill a woman... or a girl?"

Leonard finished the second half of the sentence almost word by word.

"Ha...she is a kind and good boy, otherwise I wouldn't have let you go."

"Hey hey, dad, are you crazy or me crazy or we are all crazy?" Leonard was completely confused. "Why should I kill a... 'kind and good kid'? And I asked me to go because of this?"

"Because she is kind and gentle, even if you fail to assassinate and are discovered by her, as long as you kneel down and beg for mercy to her, she will not kill you on the spot, but will give it to the neighboring nobles according to the law; then, you can survive by showing your identity in private."

"Stampering... failed to assassinate!?" Leonard became less and less likely to hear it. "Why should I 'assassinate' her?"

Only despicable and shameless villains will choose to kill the enemy in a sinister way; Leonard believes that the strong should be faced with the front!

"Because you are no match for others."

"How is that possible! I am the strongest warrior in the entire Kingdom of Fares!" Leonard clenched his fists, "I may be able to believe it a little bit if I am not as good as a knight from a Duke's family; but you said I am not as good as a woman!"

"Although she is not as strong as you, according to the information, she is far better than you in speed and physical coordination. What's more important is... her magical talent is outstanding and she can use magic in close combat."

"You know how to magic..." When mentioning these two words, Leonard was a little convinced - he has been very afraid of magic since he was forced to jump into the river by a second-rate magician's fireball technique.

But he didn't like those complicated and boring magic theories, he just focused on practicing martial arts;

Generally speaking, magicians cannot practice melee kung fu, but if the two can really be combined into one... Leonard can't say how strong they will be.

"If you don't believe it, kill her and carry her head to prove your strength to me." Since Leonard entered the door, Myrons has reviewed several documents, but he only looked at Leonard when he first entered the door.

"I..." Leonard's brow frowned slightly.

"Are you scared... But Shangwu's Western Frontier has made you cowardly?"

"How is that possible!" Leonard retorted, "I am a knight, how can a knight attack women... and she is a young girl!"

"Well, not only that, she also has an incredible appearance, a petite and delicate figure, and a pure and flawless heart. According to what you follow in the so-called "criterion" described, she has both external beauty and internal beauty, and is the person who should be protected by the knights most."

"Are you sure you are talking about assassination rather than engagement?"

"If it weren't for her identity, I would be happy to find a daughter-in-law like her."

"Her identity? Ah, you haven't said who she is yet!"

"The daughter of the Duke of the East, to be precise, is Mapoloshi White."

Leonard was stunned - what happened just now was beyond his expectations, and now he told him his identity again.

Assassinating the daughter of the Duke of the East?

Leonard has so many things in his mind. Why do you want to ask - why do you assassinate someone’s daughter for nothing?

"The killer sent before failed. It is difficult to find a killer who has sufficient technology and can ensure that information is not leaked."

"What are you going to kill her?"

"She has too many unstable factors for her future plans and must be eliminated in advance. She is smart and likable, and can easily attract forces against us. Even if her own talents are enough to cause a great threat, let alone..."

"The more I listen, the more confused I feel..."

"Her face and identity are also important bargaining chips to win over opposition forces. The child's identity is relatively noble, and his appearance alone is enough to covet all men from aristocratic families."

"How many times have you repeated this... How good-looking are you?"

"I have never seen it with my own eyes, but every spy thinks his beauty is enough to be a bargaining chip in negotiations."

When marrying, we consider the other party's power more - unless the other party's appearance is really hard to refuse.

"What did you ask me to kill such a person..." Leonard's brows became bigger and bigger, "What threat does she have to our family's future plans..."

"Now, not yet." Myrons nodded slightly, "but it will be there soon."
