Our happiness is not something that you hold.

***

The happy ending of a romance to be written into history. Beyond that are numerous forgotten faces.

After the married couple of the Pendleton Grand Duchy decorated the century with their growth into lovers from a secretive 'Daddy Long Legs' patron and beneficiary, the act of exchanging letters within secret patronages just like them became the trend.

However, would that romantic clandestine patronage always bring happiness?

Once her roommate became the victim of an attempted mu*der case, Andie Julinas, a prospective officer who was currently attending the Academy as a student of the Military Department with the help of a patron, put forth the hypothesis that the recent serial cases of mu*ders were targetting the recipients of secret patronages.

And before she knew it, she, too, was already long entangled within the case!

"I'm the fourth son, so there's no need for a heir, and since I can't use a gun, there's no need for me to go out to the site of the incident, so I can take care of the household, not to mention I'm from the upper class, so I'll be able to educate the children well......."

"Wait, wait. What are you doing right now?"

"Proposing."

"Are you crazy?"

After being abandoned by my parents, I was picked up by the boss of an organization involved in the assassination business and raised to become an assassin from a young age. Assassination is by no means an easy task, as it involves risking one's life and facing the possibility of death or being killed if one fails.... more>>

As a hired killer engaged in this life-and-death trade, I have survived for over thirty years, continuing to kill people. The task assigned to me was the assassination of a hero—the most challenging assignment I have ever faced. Under the reward of being able to leave this assassination business behind, I took on the mission and successfully assassinated the hero.

As promised, I was released from the boss, who acted as my foster parent and operated in the assassination business. However, I found myself in a state of tattered clothes, unkempt hair, and having only a meager amount of money, equivalent to a child's allowance. Moreover, having been focused solely on assassination since childhood... I have no social experience, and I am a middle-aged man nearing forty.

No money, no home, no job.
I was thrown into an outrageous situation, but in order to turn my incredibly harsh, gruesome, and hellish life into something meaningful, I made the decision to start my life anew. <<less
