It's literally not as asked though. Boris said no evidence, then his next sentence immediately asked for evidence of Lahmians, specifically really subtel evidence of Lahmians. So yes, it is failing. It's 100% accepting failure. It's a complete lack of understanding about requirements.
Seems like you missed the separating clause.
Or, to put it another way, an A- is a passing grade, not a failure. And tbh, given we don't know what evidence would actually indicate 'lahmian' in the eyes of whomever is doing the investigating, it might be better to leave them nothing and let them speculate rather than leaving the wrong evidence.
If there was no evidence of Lahmians, do you think it would be as much of a failure as a public spectacle that did implicate Lahmians? Because that's a more egregious failure by the requirements as stated.
Right. So clearly people on Mathilde's level actually perform assassinations of heads of state far less often than "once a decade".
That seems... perfectly congruent with both the OOC setting and with Mathilde's lived experience. I don't see how that requires an "unknown factor".
I suppose it could be read as meaning that the number of assassins is quite low, if one thinks that you actually need to do assassinations in order to be an assassin.
If Mathilde did it once in 40 years and that is considered a baseline for frequency, then most assassins will die of old age before ever assassinating anyone. Maybe twice if we count that noble woman in her bed?
That's an enormous amount of training and money going into producing people with a skill set that almost never gets used. Might as well make all grey magic users messengers instead of assassins, you'd get a lot more use out of them.
just means don't implicate him or yourself in vladimir's death
That's your interpretation of what he said, not what he actually said, and others interpret it differently.
if Boris never approached her about this?
She'd have still assassinated that noble woman in her bed.
