Disappearing Mercenaries

The assassins were already waiting for the girl while hiding in the corners behind the bushes in the garden and gazebo.

All the concubines of the ruby palace were already taken away for a tea party arranged by his majesty.

The palace was desolate except for these few blood thirsty criminals.

As their carriage stopped, many smirked and their grip on their weapons tightened. But even after waiting for ten minutes, no one came out of the carriage.

They waited and waited, but in the end, they did not have much patience.

"Go and check why she is not coming?" one elbowed the other who frowned but nodded his head.

"The foolish girl must be waiting for the crown prince to come and escort him. Too bad, only we are here!" His words brought laughter to the face of everyone.

They didn't even try to lower their voice. The girl was already dead. She had no were to go but to accept her death now.
