So his dad did the same thing for his mother? I'm actually not sure if that's what was implied lol.

@FrenzyMode

it could be, but i think its more the fact that he gave his son the choice thats the problem in itself.

 

[daedalron]

I don't think that guy on the last picture clearly understands the concept of armor... Let's put armor everywhere but the place where all the vital organs are ! Yeah ! *facepalm*

 

[Narciso1134]

He better save Dia...

 

[WillTell]

but they don't serve that other kingdom, so...

 

[Ohgodpleaseno]

So clearly he's just going to fake her death to save her, but I'm kind of confused as to why he has to assassinate her in the first place?

 

[Okatama]

@Ohgodpleaseno
are you talking about the conversation with his dad or the fact that he's going to "assassinate" Dia?
for the later i think he's doing this to make it seems like Dia really dead.
probably tho

 

[Ohgodpleaseno]

@Okatama I'm referring to the hit being taken out on Dia in the first place. Even with his father's explanation it still doesn't make any sense.

 

[Nosbor]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Dexeck]

What do you mean you'll kill her without killing her? People die when they're killed you know

 

[Blazer168]

@Dexeck I would assume use a body double or make a corpse unrecognizable but plausible, etc, etc

 

[uncl3scam]

Maybe i read it wrong but it seemed like her own father took out the hit on himself and his daughter to quickly end their little war with minimal civilian casualties...

 

[Saury]

@Dexeck Maybe Lugh is just that much better than Shirou?

 

[jimmyclear]

@uncl3scam

Your right. He knew he was going to lose, so he needed to order a hit on himself and his daughter. Since his daughter is naturally attuned to magic, the nobles would rape her till she produced an heir or two.

Its a father's attempt to spare his child. But since he made the hit to that little corner of assassins, that hit turned into a 'plea for help'. The dad already knows he's dead, but if the daughter's death can be faked and her life start over, that'll be enough for him.

@Dexeck

Fake the death. Certain people do that in order to get a tail off of them.

 

[duderus]

I only read the webnovel for volume 1 but i guess the light novel or the manga had a slightly different way of revealing to him the request to assassinate Dia.

 

[Haruka22]

@FrenzyMode I tought so too , the scene and the words of his father implies something like that.

 

[WhimsiCat]

@Ohgodpleaseno : Basically
Dia's family was on the side of royal family that lost, and so paid a lot in reparation to the winning side.
But then the winning nobles pushed for more, specifically for Dia herself in order to get children with strong magic power in their blood line.

Initially Dia's family was going to accept, but the retainers didn't and basically 'revolt' to protect Dia and her father, with the civilians joining in once they know of the situation.
But knowing that the nobles will crush his retainers and citizens if they clash, Dia's father order their own assassination to break the people's morale.

tl;dr The knights refused to let their lady be sacrificed to the greedy nobles, civilians agreed, and Dia's dad decide the only way to stop them is heroic sacrifice.
