The Assassin

The Attempt

The sky is dark as black. In the shadows she is waiting for the guards to change their shift.

"Man! finally I can go home and sleep."

WHOOSH!

She jumps the roof and enters into the castle.

"Now I need a maid to disguise t" she said

BANG! BANG! BANG!

She can hear the sound of soldiers moving.

She hid in the ceiling waiting for the soldiers to cross.

"Looks like the Prince have prepared for my arrival I should have sent another letter to the Princess"

"Princess will always be a distraction when they panic" she whispered herself.

She comes down from the ceiling and enters into the prince room. She could see the prince is sound asleep so she took out her dagger and went in for the kill but BANG! someone catches her hand.

She turned her head to see its the prince.

She looked who is sleeping to her surprise it's a city guard.

Both of them catched her.

She tried to free herself but they are too strong so she give in.

"I failed my mission" she thought herself.

"Take him to the hall and gather a meeting" said the prince. "but your highness I think this is a girl" said the city guard.

"Woman" she said.

The prince looked at her and left without saying anything.

"Come on! I still can't believe you were able to enter the prince's room with an ease."

The city guard and the assassin entered the hall it was empty.

The city guard handcuffs her with a metal block and he left her all alone.

After some time the city guard comes back with the King, the Queen, the Princess, the Prince, some villages, some nobles and royals, 4 healers and 9 other city guards.

Note : If you guys where wondering what is city guard. It is a title given to the soldiers who are extremely good at fighting, solving a problem within a couple of minutes and loyal towards the throne. There will be total of 11 city guard but in the story there is only 10

The King, The Queen, The Princess and The Prince are sat in the top of the hall and others are sat in the bottom of the hall. The prisoners will be in-between.

The Queen asked "who are you?"

She didn't answer. So a soldier kicked her to the ground so the her would answer.

Then the city guard who is with the Prince said "the prisoner is a girl"

"Woman" she shouted in the the direction of the city guard.

Then the Queen asked her "So you want to be with my son?"

She said while standing up "I would rather die"

Then the King ordered her a death sentence

"I'm paid to kill the prince" she shouted the sound echoed through the hall the Villagers started discussing.

The soldiers came to take her to the execution place.

But the Prince said" I think she can be a city guard. Yeah! Spare her and Xander take her and see if she can fight well."

Note: Xander is a City guard for the Princess he is good with short daggers and knife.

The Escape

"I never thought you would be an assassin Isabella" said Xander.

"Call me Isa...I'm quite surprised you got a job".

"Okay... So after that I thought you would travel to places to sing?" asked Xander.

"No"

"Isn't that your dream" said Xander.

"Shut up! Xander that's a long lost dream, don't make me remember my old self" said Isa.

"I'm sorry Isa" said Xander.

Isa stopped in her tracks and shouted

"I'm going to kill the Prince no matter what happens" she said while taking the same dragger that she used before. Xander shouted energetically "I won't let that happen". Isa walk past Xander and asked "What is the name of the prince and his city guard?". "The name of the Prince is Augustus and the guard is Vincent"

"oh".

Both Xander and Isa arrived at the ground where Xander have to test Isa.

"Let's get started, you have to dodge all my Blades and they are super fast." said Xander.

Xander moves forward in a blink of second he went behind Isa and throws a series of 5 blades. Isa catched it before it comes near her and throws the blades back at Xander which is faster than Xander's speed.

Meanwhile

" So is there a reason why you stopped her from execution" asked Vincent. "Well yeah she is an assassin and she is paid to kill me...I want to know who is it?" said Augustus. "why don't you ask her directly " said Vincent.

"Yeah" said the prince

The Prince and The city guard walks towards the ground.

SAVE ME!!!

"Whose voice is that? " asked the Prince cautiously. "That's Xander's voice" said Vincent.

Both of them looked astonished when they saw Xander kneeled down before Isa and listening to her lecture.

" An unskilled city guard can do better than you.You were too slow. You were throwing the blade like you haven't eaten for 5 months. You don't have the strength to throw it . Overall you don't deserve to be a City Guard".

"What the hell is happening here?! " asked Vincent.

"Vincent save me!!! From this woman she is scary" cried Xander.

Isa gave a cold stare to Xander.

"You woman cooperate with us if you want to live, if you don't you know what will happen" shouted the Prince coldly.

"Why should I listen to a jerk like you"said Isa.

Then a huge sound came from the kitchen due to fire.

"It's the kitchen come on Xander it's no time to cry we got to help them."said Vincent.

Both Vincent and Xander ran towards the fire but the Prince went towards the opposite direction of the fire leaving Isabella all alone again.

" These guys are too stupid to leave me alone and Xander you shouldn't have removed my handcuffs to test me" Isa said herself.

Then she jumps over the roof of the castle and watched the fire.

"Phew! Finally the fire is out you guys should be careful while cooking" said Vincent to one of the cook.

"Wait...did we leave the assassin all alone and I watched the Prince went the opposite direction of the fire!"

Xander who was trying the food which were not burnt suddenly realised Vincent words about Isa and they went of in hurry towards the ground.

"Ah! No, she escaped!!!" shouted Vincent.

"No, she didn't escape......she will try to kill the prince again......if my guess is correct she would still be inside the castle walls..." said Xander with a serious look.

"How can you say that, its like you know her?" asked Vincent.

Xander's serious look turned into a smile and said "Yep I know her in fact she is my elder sister".

The Robbery

Vincent's jaw opened widely it nearly dropped in the ground. He shouted at Xander while catching his shoulder with force.

"So you are related with that murder!!!"

Then a apple hit Vincent back head so he turned around to find Isa sitting on the roof.

"Yo! I'm not a murder okay. I'm just an assassin who kills the murders" complained Isa.

"That doesn't make any difference" shouted Vincent.

"There is one difference between us that is they kill the innocent but I kill the the bad ones".

Their conversation have made people to gather.

"So see yea. I hope you can save your prince" said Isa as she jumped into the crowd and disappeared.

"Please don't tell this to anyone except the prince" begged Xander.

"Give me valid reason" said Vincent.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you the reason right now but I will tell to you in the future so please trust me" said Xander.

"OK I trust you" said Vincent

Both Vincent and Xander reported to the prince that she have escaped after reporting Vincent left.

"So her name is Isa and she is your sister and you don't want me to tell this to anyone right?" asked the Prince.

"That's right I'm sorry I can't tell you the reason right now but I will tell in the future" said Xander.

"OK who else know this?"

"Vincent, me and you" said Xander.

"Hmm...No wonder you and Vincent are best friends."

"OK inform Kane and Lucas to report here immediately."

"OK Prince" said Xander.

Xander was about to leave but the Prince called him.

"Xander in front of other call me Prince but where we are alone just call me Augustus."

"OK I will take my leave...Augustus."

Xander informed Kane and Lucas to report immediately.

"Looks like there are more guards but that's not going to stop me from killing the Prince" said Isa to herself.

For the next few days continually Isa tries to kill the prince like adding poison in one of the Prince wine, a arrow out of nowhere, she tried to kidnap the Prince at night but she overslept. But during the few days she noticed that he was helping other, kind to his people and innocent so she thought of withdrawing her mission.

At night she spoke with the dealer of the mission.

"So you don't want the gold?" asked the dealer. Isa nodded and left. "Give a mission to some other assassin to kill her and her head value is 10 million gold" to one of his men.

The next two days there was no assassination but there was reports of robbery. So the Prince thought of investigating this himself with him Vincent, Xander and Kane went. Kane is the captain of the City Guard.

"There are rumors that it's a couple but some says its a monkey and every valuable object is stolen" said Xander.

They went to a bar where the owner of the bar' things got stolen since its the newest report on the robbery.

"My French wine got stolen by a stupid monkey that wine cost me a fortune" said the Bar owner.

Then a sound came as if we're cheering. Indeed it was cheering. The customer were cheering
