Kill him for me

Rather than a invitation, his words were more of a threat. A threat with my life in line.

What should I do now? Join hands with this man ? What could I do for him?

"You are taking time to think kid?" his look was careless "is there something still left to think, I didn't know that"

he was simply asking if the demonstration he gave was not enough, his careless words has a rough danger on the edges as if he is ready to shove me again in that dark room to remind me of my situation

"You know I don't like wasting my time..." he was staring at my state in which i was sitting in front of him. Crumble dress with distorted look and slightly messy hair.

His gaze was telling that I was in no place for negotiation and it was more like he was talking to a beggar.

"If you have something to say, you can tell me" he really didn't mean his words because the pie in front of him was getting more attention than me, it clear that he was telling me I have no other choice and I better don't waste any more of his time if I don't want to get worse

The sunlight coming through the leafs of the tree was a making a beautiful painting of light and shadow on our bodies, with that shining dishes on the white knitted table cloth it felt like I was the only thing that didn't belong there.

"It would be my pleasure your majesty" if I am going to join hands with you then let me show my upmost respect, since if I am getting something out of it I would be happy if I get whole rather than just a piece because of my bad behavior.

"I ask for forgiveness if I seem like I was taking time to think your majesty, since I have no authority to think before your majesty's decision"

I lowered my gaze with half closed eyes while slightly tilting my head down to show my sincerity.

I was looking down when a dark chuckles broke the silence of the garden "Hah and Felix was telling me that you are a child"

My heart skipped a beat thinking something was going to happen but his words put me in ease....so I was successful in pleasing him.

I lifted my gaze towards him, he was gently tracing the golden edge of the tea cup while a smirk was playing on his lips. He said while staring at me

"He was telling he how you are innocent and don't know a thing about this world. But look at you! You already understand your assignment"

His tone went low and held a dangerous edges "you already know how you should behave. It's look like I choose the right person"

"I didn't waste my time for nothing" he sneer in pleasure as if he was satisfied with his puppet having a little bit of brain.

I was looking at his smug sneer as he extended his hand in air as if he was asking for something from the soldiers, a soldier standing behind him came forward and put a dagger in his hand.

Dagger.

He hold the handle of the dagger with one hand and the other he held the sheath as he slowly pulls the dagger out. A black blade. I have never seen black blade.

"This is one of the treasure of royal family. A dagger said to be made out of the bones of a dragon" he put the dagger in front of me. My eyes were fixed in the pitch black blade which shines like a Black crystal everytime a ray of light hit it's edges

"Do you know you can simply buy a whole kingdom with this thing alone. Do you want to see what does it do?"

He sneer, this time his sneer has a sound that made me look up at his face from the blade and in a flick of second he took the dagger and made a slight cut on the forearm of the very soldiers who just hand him the dagger.

Is he out of his mind ? But luckily that was just a small cut he wouldn't die because of it---

That soldier falls. Falls on the side with a loud thud. The sound of his head cracking send shivers down the maids and the soldiers who were standing there but no one dare to make even a slightest sound

Everyone was standing there holding the scream in their throat while their gaze fixed front, ignoring that soldier as if nothing has happened.

My wide pupil were fixed on the soldiers looking for any possible moment in his body but he was completely silent like a dead body.

His cracked head was making one of his eye loose from his mussels, and the blood flowing out of his head made a puddle on the floor.

"Stop looking at him he dead before falling on the ground" he wipes the edge of the blade on the table cloth and put the blade back in the sheath.

Putting the dagger in front of me again while staring at me with menace eyes, which was annoyingly calm "Salina Norman...I am giving you a big responsibility.....you just need to put this blade in the heart of that bastard ...you can do it right" his eyes glitters in desperation for my answer while the edges of his eyes were as sharp as before.

"Kill him for me"
