  Someone is awake.

  The castle is asleep, but one person is not.

  They walk among the shadows and the snores and the promise of the morning.

  Their footsteps make no noise, they are nameless.

  They pause by the princesses bedroom, beyond the wooden door lay the guard and the princess. Two who should never have been.

  They are angry at the princess. The princess stole everything from them.

  Tonight their plans begins. Starting with the oldest boy, Naerys. He was always the starting line.

  He survived once. But he will not survive again.

  They will make sure of it. And then they will kill the princess.

And then they will sleep.
