"Alright then, let him go this time." Mera pouted, but Kain shook his head and smiled gently.
"Even if he successfully runs away from us, he won't get out of the inner city."
Mera looked at Kain in surprise, then seemed to understand something.
"You mean... a high-class Magus will intervene?"
"Yes. I am now the representative of the Egretta Family, and I was assassinated right on their territory. If they don't even know how to restore the family's honor, there's no reason why the Egretta Family could exist until today," Kain explained.
A high-class Magus is the backbone of a noble family, and a threat to all those who intend to harm the family. If a high-class Magus appears to slay an assassin, protecting Kain, the representative, it is nothing less than a declaration that all assassins who approach will face a similar fate of suppression.
And just as Kain predicted, in the distance, even as they were talking, the assassin was still fleeing in panic.
