My Precious

Ren stepped out of the bath, toweling himself off as he walked into his room.

Killing the three Swordsmen had only worked because of the situation. But now, the last remaining swordsman, Giles, would be ready.

That made their work a little harder but Ren was glad that it was all coming to a close. With the death of Giles, Kingpin would have to look for more trusted members to carry out the assassination of the King.

That kind of job requires the kind of trust that was not easy to come by. It was one thing to send minions to kill a random merchant. It was another to send them to kill the King. They could betray you to him instead.

After all, it was much safer to betray Kingpin to the king than kill the king for Kingpin.

Putting that thought aside, he quickly dressed up. It was afternoon, and there was still time to take care of a particular problem.
