To dodge an assassination by shortening one's lifespan? No one would make such a bad deal.
Thus, Happiness and Comfort developed a second line of business: the whitelist.
Just pay an annual fee, and Happiness and Comfort will guarantee not to target you for that year. The fee varies from person to person—if you had several assassination contracts on you last year, then your fee for the next year would significantly increase.
From the Yisu royal family down to the major families, the whitelist of Happiness and Comfort nearly included all the ruling classes of the Kingdom of Gospel. Of course, there were quite a few who didn't buy into this scheme, such as Azura's local Red Hat, Cleos—who never bothered with them—a Holy Sanctuary Mage wouldn't fear assassination.
