Cloudy Nights ~

I was 5 when I was given a sword. My purpose was only to serve the king. Killing, poisoning ,assassination and protect the king were the only thing I ever knew. I never got a chance to talk to anyone only the Knight who thaught me how to weild a sword.

Soon when I was 18 and I was given a position on commander of Knight and King's bodyguard. I was quite know for my skills. I mean from the age was 5 I was trained after when I was 10 years I had to do some self training since every soldier was defeated by me. Grey was the king I served.

I heard few rumours that me and the king together will be the invincible duo. But I never felt like that king was too strong and well y'know he was a king...... I am mere a commoner.

He seemed to be somewhat cold. But when I talked to him the first time it was the best memory of my life. His rushy voice was deep and commanding. He was the only one who noticed my wound even though I tried to hide it.

I was wounded near my stomach. When someone came to assassinated the king. To protect and to kill at the same time was easy but i was too exhausted from the meeting. I also look after the development of the kingdom. Make new machines and all.

I don't know what the feelings was when he asked me to show the wound. I was always able to show my wound to other soldiers or the doctors. But this was different.

He did know that I was girl. He checked my wound and went to clean my wound. The moment his hand touched my skin my face started to heat at alarming speed. But why?

After I was treated I went running in my room.
