[Over the past year or so, during your travels, you frequently encountered the Eldest Princess's personal assassin. She followed you, silently observing your every word and action, and would sometimes even serve you tea. At first, you thought she wanted to assassinate you and harbored ill intentions.]
[But you later discovered this was not the case. She seemed to bear no hostility, and gradually, your friendship with the assassin deepened.]
[A month ago, you noticed that the Eldest Princess of the Imperial City and the assassin were not on speaking terms, apparently due to some internal conflict. The melancholy assassin sought your help. You agreed to help on the condition that she would owe you a favor in the future.]
[The assassin agreed to your terms and revealed the old conflict between her and the Eldest Princess. It stemmed from a massive war decades ago, before the human Empress ascended the throne.]
