It was during the ungodly hours when all four assassins were called out of their rooms and into the meeting room for what they heard to be an emergency meeting. Jiseol, with an anxious expression on, scanned the room to see if anyone was hurt which could've caused the sudden meeting.

"What's happening?" She asked the tall, red haired who only shrugged with a worried and confused look that mirrored the others'. They immediately bowed once they saw King Sejun and Queen Aewol enter the room, along with Princess Sewon who was surrounded by guards.

Soon, when everyone was gathered, they didn't even bother sitting before starting the meeting. Suspicion and worry only rose when Jiseol noticed there were more guards surrounding them than usual.

"I'll get straight to the point. While the princess was asleep in her own chamber, someone had tried sneaking in. She claimed to have heard noises from her balcony door as if someone was trying to pry it open. Sure enough, there was someone there. A man in all black trying to open the doors." The king started, glancing a few times at his beloved daughter who wore a terrified look.

"If it wasn't for the heavy security of the door, her room would've gotten broken into and I refuse to think about what could've happened after. Because of this, assassins, in two days time I need you to go on an emergency mission to try and find whoever tried sneaking in. We can't have anything bad happen to Twilight's crowned princess. Would that be alright?"

"Yes, your highness." Jiseol verbally answered for her team while the rest just nodded.

"First of all, we don't exactly know how the man looked like but asking Sewon questions could be a great help for more precise information. Secondly, I've kept a list of the possible kingdoms the man could've been from. It's in this folder. But you're smart, Eris, I hope you know that the kingdom the person is from might not be in that list. I want you to think outside of the box. And when you do find this man, try to get information about his motive before executing him.

"You can do that, right? I trust you four. After tonight, expect security to increase. That's all, you may go now." King Sejun heaved a heavy, distressed sigh before rubbing his temples with his right middle finger and thumb.

"We can absolutely do that, your highness. No need to worry, we will eliminate this man before you know it." The bluish-black haired, along with the rest of her team, bowed before exiting the meeting room with Princess Sewon following behind for an interview about whoever they are about to look for.


Jiseol smiled at whatever the three boys were laughing at, attempting to lighten the heavy tension in her room knowing they already had to leave tomorrow at dawn. The assassination team, along with princess Sewon, decided it was best for them to have the small get together in Jiseol's room (as if they didn't already do that before) for it to be safer for the princess. The past 2 days, the princess has been walking around with guards surrounding her as well, this only slightly scared Jiseol because anything could happen while they're gone.
