A Deal is a Deal

'Shit!' Wise cursed as Aofie's body fell onto him. 'Did I just kill her?'

[Why the fuck did you hit her that hard?!]

The System screamed in his head, the panic evident in its voice.

'I didn't think she would die! She was wearing a relic!'

[You didn't think she would die?! What kind of excuse is that?]

[Brace yourself for failing your mission! Temporary stat restriction for a month!] 

The crowd watched him with shock as he tried to prevent Aofie from looking as dead as she currently did. 

Killing the princess of a kingdom was a grave sin no matter his status, already, the guards were pulling the gate open to assault him. 

[Oh wait… she's alive]

Wise quickly placed his finger on her neck and felt for a pulse. Relief immediately flooded him and he slumped to the floor, the princess in his arms. 

He waved his hands toward the crowd and smiled. "Fret not, your princess is alive!"
