Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 205.5
Their mission was to assassinate the Viscountess Melrose, who was misleading the Crown Prince. However, Clara had given them strict orders not to attack her by force, but to retreat if the situation was dangerous.
The objective was not to kill her quickly and surely, but to ensure her elimination before the Crown Prince’s graduation. To achieve this, Clara informed them that it was important to forego the opportunity and concentrate on gathering information.
Of all the opportunities to assassinate the Viscountess, this time Clara had assigned them to this Inn town on the border between the royal capital and Lester’s territory.
At first, the girls, who were also assassins, thought that there were more suitable places for the assassination. However, after their agents, saved by Clara’s “foresight,” infiltrated Lester’s territory, they discovered why they could not kill her elsewhere.
During her travels, the Viscountess Melrose never slept in her own bedroom. She was always in the bedchamber of Amol or Nathaniel at night.
Only the well-guarded bedroom of Crown Prince Ervan should not be allowed to be entered yet, but Clara foresaw that in this Inn town, where there was only one high-class inn and many knights staying apart from each other, they would surely be able to take action.
To be precise, foresight was only half of the story. In the authentic history of the Otome Game, the heroine, after being attacked by assassins, tactfully discovered a passageway in the attic that even the innkeepers had forgotten about, and saved the Crown Prince’s life.
Not that the viscountess would have noticed it either, but Clara foresaw a high probability that she would use it to serve her purpose. Of course, there was no way for Bibi and the others to know that such knowledge of the game was the source of their information, but they believed it was also Clara’s foresight.
“As Clara-sama said, the Dark Side guys are not coming. I’ll settle this before the only Dark Side knight, that butler kid, joins them.”
“Yes, Doris. I’ll take care of the diversion.”
As foreseen, the two men confirmed that the Crown Prince and his party would be entering the one and only luxury inn, and they returned to their work at the inn without being suspected as employees who had been replaced in advance.
It would not have been so easy if the Dark Side Knights had been there, but the Second Order, unaccustomed to guarding royalty, and the buoyant atmosphere of their soon-to-be-returned home allowed them to enter without arousing suspicion.
The rooms of the Crown Prince and the King’s brother are on the top floor of the three-story inn; Nathaniel and the Viscountess are on the same top floor, but their status puts them at the end of the hall between the rooms belonging to the Knight Commander and the other guests.
There were knights guarding the passageways, but they did not watch every room. While Doris was delivering the evening meal to the knight on guard, Bibi broke into one of the vacant rooms and entered through the fireplace in that room into a hidden passageway in the attic, where she waited for the Viscountess to appear.

She thought about breaking into the Viscountess’ room and assassinating her directly, but since she would come all the way to a place where she would not be easily found even if she screamed, if she believed in foresight, she would be able to assassinate her for sure if she waited here.
“…”
Even Bibi, who believed so and waited, was half-convinced that the Viscountess would really appear.
