Chapter 19
The Coming of the Crown Prince (4)
"Who… are you?"
Fully alert, Cecelia asked him.
Hiding emotions was the most basic of the basics for a Coldwalker.
However, at this moment, she couldn’t hide her emotions.
"That name. How do you…..?"
"I know it very well."
Of course, he knew
The man who caught the tail of the Coldwalkers in the empire,
The man who almost destroyed the entire operation.
That man was Ian in his former life.
"If you want, I can list your agents, what kind of operations you guys are running at the moment."
"Bull s.h.i.+….."
"Yol, The horse keeper of the house of Molten. Robin, Royal secretary."
Suddenly, Ian started to recite some names and their operations.
"Aerio, The 9th border defense force soldier. Isabel, the chief maid of the detached royal palace. Ah, she shouldn’t have become a chief, yet."
Coldwalkers that Ian found in former life and still remembered.
He called specific names of Coldwalkers who may be on their mission at this moment.
"The common thing between these people, Can you have a guess? I think I know the answer."
He listed their names and operation barely.
"What on earth….."
Cecelia completely lost her emotional balance like a s.h.i.+p wrecked by a storm.
The confusion exceeded her mental capacity.
"Don’t worry, though. I am the only one who knows this, yet."
To Cecelia, Ian said this full of confidence.
"And I don’t want to tell others about it."
"What do you mean?"
"You guys are, hmm what should I say….."
Ian paused shortly to find a good expression.
"Emergency food."
"…….?"
"I am going to arrest them one by one whenever I need to."
Coldwalkers who were undercover in the empire, or who will come into the empire.
To Ian, they were just one of the tools to increase his merit.
The merits that he could use whenever he needed.
This era was still unstable and war could occupy the country at any moment.
Arresting a spy during the war. Such exceptional merit.
The a.n.a.logy of emergency food quite suited them.
‘Just who is he?’
Cecelia chewed her lips.
What a mysterious man he is.
The man who knew the list of Coldwalkers clearly.
Furthermore, The man who was most likely the enemy of her country
She couldn’t calm herself down.
Nevertheless, she must do something.
The situation didn’t allow her to communicate with her home country.
She must do something herself.
‘I must decide.’
As her country ordered to her, this boy must be suppressed alive.
The order was an order, and the boy was such a threat.
Right after she finishes this situation, she would send an emergency message to her country straight away.
To inform that there is a high chance that the ident.i.ty of all Coldwalkers was compromised.
Fortunately, this area was connected to the border.
There was a chance to sneak out.
‘If things go ugly,’
In that case, he must be a.s.sa.s.sinated.
The primary mission objective was kidnapping, the secondary was murder.
She had no time for testing. She had to do her best.
"I have no clue how you know the names,"
Around Cecelia, fire spheres lit up.
Six spheres as big as a human’s head.
It must be much more destructive than magic missile.
"But you shouldn’t speak it out, Young boy."
Just after she finished her word, fire spheres flew to Ian quickly.
All six spheres were targeting Ian’s body.
With a s.h.i.+eld magic like he just cast before, he wouldn’t able to protect himself from it.
"Mana Barrier."
However, Ian’s response was
