A strangers request

Kassandra's POV

I know Prince Allan was planning something. He wouldn't come to the borderland for nothing.

I killed his general from the last battle when we retrieved the five villages. He told me something before he died.

That's why I knew that I should start moving the pawns of my chess game against the crown prince of Altas Kingdom. I have to win this!

Flashback

I ran as fast as I could and caught his blade using my hand. It didn't reach Uncle Joseph's body.

"Arida!" I called.

I pushed him forward and didn't care about the blood dripping from my palm. Arida and Axel check his condition.

I twist my body in hundred eighty degrees and cut the carotid artery of my enemy. He falls to the ground right away.
