Wherever light goes, there must be shadows.
——Article 36 of the Radiant Alliance
Assassination in the name of justice
Piano, black tea, fountain, rainbow, the aristocratic lady gently picked up a piece of sugar cube with tweezers, and the male servants were busy going back and forth without making any sound. The gentlemen were talking to each other. A high-class ball is being held in the Duke's castle.
In an instant, the arrows in his sleeves were unsheathed, and the center of the dance, the owner of the castle, Archduke Saxby, covered his throat in disbelief, and blood spurted out. Panic screams and escaping footsteps erupted throughout the auditorium after a brief moment of speechlessness. Cups were broken and tables were turned over, and everyone was scrambling to find the way out. It's a pity that the assassin didn't give anyone a chance. In a flash of lightning, the God of Death simply took all the lives on the scene, not even the canary in the cage.
A young girl climbed up the stairs. She kicked over the corpses in the way without a care, trampled on the minced meat and blood, walked straight to the middle of the hall, poured two glasses of red wine, ignored the blood in the glasses, picked up one of them and drank it in one gulp. The assassin emerged from the darkness, standing with his hands lowered and his eyebrows lowered.
"Well done, Mona," the girl handed over another glass of wine and poured it for herself, "Duke Saxby betrayed the Rastad Empire and was expelled from the Shining Alliance of Justice." The girl clinked the glass with Mona and drank it down.
"Meow~" Suddenly there was a meow, and a little kitten emerged from behind the curtain. The girl frowned slightly: "What happened?" She turned to look at the assassin, just in time to catch a glimpse of her blushing and staring at the kitten with heartbeat, and the reproach on her lips disappeared. I thought: "Well, let her go."
A heart-wrenching transformation
"Mona, are you willing to accept the soul transformation?"
"Yes."
"Do you swear never to betray, to be ever faithful, to be ever loyal to the great His Majesty Paliodo and his daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Rosamund?"
"Yes."
"Very well, the Alliance of Radiance will be proud of you, and every white robe will be proud of you. The light will shine on you."
"The light will shine on you too."
…………
"Princess Rosamond, it has been seven days since Mona was transformed by the soul envoy, and she still hasn't woken up."
"She will wake up."
"But... everyone else woke up on the second or third day... Mona is afraid..."
"I told her she would wake up! Now! Shut up! Keep increasing the dose!"
"But..."
"Are you questioning me?"
"No...no, I'll do it right away..."
The white robe kneeling on the ground was trembling. Princess Rosamond, who had always been ruthless, actually cared about an assassin! The princess herself suddenly realized her gaffe. She quickly explained: "This princess just doesn't want to lose a useful tool. Well, you hurry up and do it." She comforted herself, so no one should notice.
The light that accompanies darkness
The sun... is so dazzling...
This was Mona's first feeling when she woke up from a coma. The transformation of the Soul Envoy did not stimulate the light power in her, but instead allowed her dark talents to be fully utilized.
She recalled what her father, the current Emperor, said to her when he brought her back to the palace, "Light and shadow are inseparable from each other. From now on, you are my second daughter. From now on, you are the darkness and shadow under the light. I give you a name - Mona."
"New mission, to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor..." Rosamund came to Mona's bedside and issued the latest order. She expected to see Mona's overwhelmed expression. However, Mona just struggled to hold on to her still-unrecovered body, stood up slowly, and calmly put away her weapons.
"Wait...Mona...don't you have any hesitation?"
Mona didn't answer, just shook her head silently.
"You will die! This mission is actually to die! My father has successfully ascended to the throne. The Empire no longer needs the Alliance of Radiance. You will become wanted criminals and shadows! A shadow that the Radiance cannot tolerate!"
"I...am originally a shadow. This...is the fate of shadows..." Mona spoke with difficulty.
Is it true? When the brilliance is achieved, will the shadow that accompanied the brilliance disappear?
"Mona, let's change the plan! This time, you will stand by my side! This time, the light will be with the shadow!"
A magnificent map of the Rastad Empire suddenly unfolded in Rosamund's hands. Rosamund grabbed Mona's wrist and popped out a sleeve arrow, suddenly piercing the map. The Rastad Empire is about to undergo great changes.
Fate! It’s still broken!
Future generations may not know that this was the beginning of Rosamond's vigorous rebellion.
The glorious alliance's expansion of territory, Rosamund's achievement of hegemony, and a series of battles and events that will have a profound impact on future generations will all be foreshadowed this night...
What will be the story of the bond of light and shadow between Rosamund and Mona? Welcome to pay attention to the latest news of "The Sky Traveler",
