WRECK THE PLOT!

'' ...if I was a normal child, Kieran, I would have started to cry because of your sudden fall to our deaths.'' Raven remarked about Kieran's actions. As she tightened her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist like a baby koala, her eyes took in the small bushes and grasses around them, thanks to the night lamps.

''Master is very unique to this slave. There's no way master would have cried over this.''

''You can feel my heartbeat, right?'' Raven arched an eyebrow at his funny reply. She wasn't scared of Kieran's actions, but this body of hers was, and her accelerating heart proved it.

'There's a first time for everything.' Raven suddenly thought of that saying. That sentence thoroughly explained the reaction of her body. If it weren't for her holding onto Kieran, she would have placed her hand on her pounding chest.

''This just proves that master is still a growing child.''

''You always have an answer for everything, Kieran.'' Raven pointed out. Her gaze then wandered over to the tall sturdy tree close to her window.

If she were to guess, this tree should be how that assassin had entered her room. Kieran must have used the same means as him.

''I don't think I have that much weight, Kieran.'' Raven could guess why Kieran avoided using the tree. Though she was a bit disappointed, about not seeing his nimbleness and agility.

''This slave is being cautious, master.'' 

''Yes, Yes. Now, let's get out this place.'' Raven dismissed his words.

''As you wish, master.''

''.....''

As always, he must reply to her no matter what.

Amarian Empire.

An empire with many lands filled with milk and honey. An empire that many people from different kingdoms and empires desired to migrate not only because of the its unimaginable power, wealth and influence. The empire's history played a big deal as the Amarian imperial family was rumored to be a bloodline of the Goddess Agnes.

However.....

That wasn't only the reason for many from different lands desiring to migrate into the empire.

In the Amarian empire, the imperial family are not the only leaders. Yes, they are seen as one by many from different lands and even its commoners. But only the empire's nobility knew of the powerful tigers struggling for power on one mountain.

The famed Grand duke Langston of the Langston Grand duchy. A formidable man known over many kingdoms and empires for many things, especially his family tainted bloodline.

The imperial capital which resides the famed imperial family blessed with Goddess Agnes's bloodline, and many of the Amarian prestigious nobilities.

Finally, the Holy land. A region whose authority fall under one person, the Holy pope of the famed Goddess Agnes's temple.

These three regions made up the Amarian empire, and the rulers of each had all been kept under check through a treaty, thus making the Amarian empire what it is in the present time.

Raven learned all these through the original owner's memories, the stolen novel in her former life, and some geography books she read in the old library during her free time. To live and survive in this new world, she needed information.

Information not only from her immediate environment, but from outside her zone as well. That also meant she needed to be informed through other means such ruling an assassin organization the palm of her fingers.
