The nightshader of the king

"Why don't you go do your work. I want to talk to the girl herself." Cobie said to Eva. Eva rolled her eyes, waved at Berry and left. "Why don't you come with me?" The prince asked. He grabbed Berry's hand and Berry followed him. "Were are we going?" Berry asked. "We are going to pick up the knights brother and then the knight will be executed." the prince said. "I thought you might wanted to come with me." "Sure, I want to come with you." Berry said with a smile on his face. Cobie and Berry walked out of the castle. For some reason there didn't need to be any guard with them. Even thought there had just been an attempted murder on him and his parents. They walked throught the village. Cobie stopped infront of a house and knocked on the door. A man opened, he had orange hair in a braid and bangs. He had a green cloack that had a slight tint of gray. His eyes were the same color. He wore black boots and pants. He also had a black shirt with a turtle neck without sleeves. He wasn't much taller than Berry. "Are you Cray?" the prince asked. "Yes, is something wrong?" Cray asked. "We want you to come with us to the castle." The prince said. "Why?" Cray asked he didn't trust it for some reason. "We have a job for you. And your brother is going to be executed for attempted murder on the royal family." Cobie said. "What..." Cray said. Berry could see tears building up in his eyes. "let's go to the castle." Berry said grabbing Cray's hand. Cobie didn't like that but didn't say anything. "You will be taking your brother's job. Even thought you don't really seem like the right person. You are quit small. " Cobie said. "He is taller than me, so I don't see any problem." Berry said. "He doesn't seem that much bigger than you." Cobie said. "And that doesn't even matter. He will get the job either way. The only thing is that he will probably die earlier, because he seems weak. Or he wil easily get captured by the enemy." "On the other side they will probably will underestimate him. That will give him an adventence during a battle. Don't you agree?" Berry said. He didn't like the fact that Cobie made fun of Cray's hight. Because he ofcourse was also small. The only reason Cobie didn't say anything about that was because he didn't know that Berry was a man, instead of a women. They walked back to the town square. The king and queen were already there. "Cobie plies come here." The king said and Cobie walked towards them. He grabbed Berry's arm and he followed the prince. But he didn't let go of Cray's hand so Cray also needed to follow the two. There stood two guards, they holded William. "We want you to stay with us during the whole execution. And is that Williams brother?" The king asked.  "Yes, this is Cray." Cobie said, he also made sure that Berry and Cray were not holding hands anymore. "Do want to say anything to your brother?" The queen asked. "Yes, plies your majesty." Cray said bowing down infront of the king and queen.  The queen snipped her fingers and motioned for the guards to let let Cray talk to his brother. "What did you do that they want to do this?" Cray asked his brother. "Nothing, I need you to listen to me. That girl over there with the brown hair. That is a assasin. It is also a man. He acts like he is a woman so he can get close to the prince. You need to stop him, but be careful don't make it to obvious, because he has a great advantage because the prince likes him." William said, he said it as quickly and quiet as possible so nobody would suspect anything. "So you are just going to let them kill you?" Cray asked.
