So about her being accused as a witch. Someone might have seen her using magic or she did somethimg that brought attention to her. When Pope took her with kitty he called the kitty a witch cat and killing it would make her not a witch meaning he knew from the start that the witch thing is not true so he might actually be the one behind this idea to make her work for him (in the secret assasination organization) which would explain why he was there in the first place.
And the thing with bringing the mother might be explained in the next chapter cause the guy is not dead yet. (=・ω・=)
Killing her mother was a way to ensure that she will behave for future missions. If they don’t up the stakes then she may get careless, or start to rebel thinking that as long as the r mission is complete, it is fine to do whatever. Or they were planning to kill her anyways and just wanted to make her suffer.
Obviously.
My question wasn't "why did they kill the mother", my question was "why would asassins, who need to be hidden and careful, take an untrained civilian with them on a very important mission inside military territory, when said civilian poses a significant risk of their whole operation getting exposed".
It's just dumb to bring a civilian on a stealth mission. Unless they have a way to 100% ensure she doesn't expose them (accidentally or on purpose), but we haven't been told yet about that.
she was probably passed out/dead already, we don't see her conscious. perhaps knocked out with magic. she's just a civilian, and the dude's a magician, he can probably subdue her with a finger. not sure overall though, this manhwa has some poor logic
No but it makes no sense even beyond the dubious translation, it makes no sense. Why would they bring her mother there? Even if it's as some kind of insurance to make Meiba behave, it's too risky to bring a random civilian to military territory and lug her around a high-stakes assasination mission. That's just stupid.
Not to mention, that it matters little that the target discovered her identity, if the target was confirmed dead. Like, sure, Yurian didn't die, but as far as they were concerned, he did. What is a corpse gonna do, tell the newspaper? Lol.
And that whole scene in her childhood where she was accused of being a witch, also makes no sense. Nothing happened, she literally just saw a kitten. Yet a bunch of soldiers appeared (why where they there in the first place?) took one look at her, and decided that she needs to die. How did they know that she has a lot of magic?
And then, the pope also appeared out of the nowhere. Like, seriously, what the fuck was he doing there? In some random road, for no apparent reason?
Weird as heck.
