On the carriage, we chatted.

"Hee, an Archmage? That's amazing, Alicia."

I praised Alicia. She got a rare class just like her brother.

"But, I'm not happy at all. I always want to be an amazing alchemist like Ren-Onii-sama"

She said innocently.

"Definitely no" "I absolutely forbid you to take that route."

I and Leo said at the same time.

"Eeeeh"

Alicia looked disappointed. I activated Appraisal on three of us.

I almost reached level 50 where I'll be able to learn my second Job. Unlike combat oriented ones like Leo's, Alchemist's leveling pace is several times faster since he didn't go out to hunt monsters.

"Prince Leonardo and Princess Alicia had arrived."

The announcer said. I walked behind them like an aide so that none announced my arrival. The two were looked by the young nobles as the subject of admiration. I parted with them and stood at the edge of the room.

I took a glass of juice as I watched the entire place from the side. A grand party like this would be a perfect place for assassination. I looked around and activated my appraisal skill. The nobles' names and details were transmitted to my head as well as the food and drinks inside the bouquet hall. I had several bottles of antidote, potions, and remedy inside my storage ring I had bought from the auction.

So far I found none with [Assassin] Profession except Rosemaria who was acting as the maid of the royal castle under my mother's order.

"To celebrate my daughter's, Alicia's, fifth birthday. Cheers!!"

Just a moment when the king raised his cup I sensed a poison inside his wine. Furthermore it was a quick acting poison. I quickly snuck to get closer to the king just a moment before he drank his wine. The king gasped and fell to the ground. The hall panicked and I quickly leaped toward the king and poured the antidote I had prepared to his throat.

I sighed in relief when I made it in time. I raised my arms when I saw the spearheads were aimed at my neck.

"Stop right there!!"

I heard Leo's voice.

"Ren, how's father?"

He asked me.

"I had him drank an antidote. It'll take some time till he regained his consciousness."

I said.

"Kuh!"

I heard voice under me. I looked downward and saw the king slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Highness!!" "Father!!"

The people called the king. The king staggered for a bit and I sighed in relief.

"What just happened?"

"You were poisoned with that wine, my king."

The prime minister said. I took a deep breath and activated my appraisal eyes. I looked at my surroundings to find a clue. I saw a butler holding a wine bottle and about to hide it under the table. I jogged toward him in hurry.

"Sir Augustus, what are you doing down there?"

I asked innocently. I asked with pretty loud voice that I attracted a lot of attention. The butler gasped and looked at me in hurry.

"Ah, no. I just accidentally dropped the cork for the wine bottle and about to find it."

He said calmly.

"I see... If you're looking for the cork, you should look for it near the throne. I saw it over there."

I said.

"I see... thank you for your kindness, Young Master Ren."

He replied courteously as if I was a noble.

"You see, I'm not a noble, Uncle. The announcer didn't announce my name either. Just who are you?"

I said. The man gasped and took a step backward. The eyes of the nobles were glaring at him.

"Tch!"

The butler rushed toward the exit. I smirked when I saw Rosemaria had stood on his path. She lowered her stance and with swift movement she neutralized him.

"With this, the incident is taken care of."

I said.
