Assassin x Princess
Chapter 2: The Gift
*warning - violence at some part of the chapter, skip the part you think is uncomfortable, thank you and enjoy!*
Mizuki:
Recently I see that Ena have been getting gifts from... Someone I don't know.
I get that it was her birthday a few weeks ago, but now it has been over two weeks, why is she still getting them?
The gifts are necklaces, bracelets (which are probably fake), bows, and sometimes even letters!
Thankfully, Ena said she wasn't gonna wear them, she was only going to put it in her collection... But, still, it gets me a little jealous. Okay, not a little.
To beat whoever is giving Ena the gifts, I gave her even more expensive items, things that the secret gifter could never afford.
One day, which was two days ago, I asked her about the gifts:
"Hey, may I ask you something princess?"
Ena looked a bit confused, "Huh? Yes, what is it Mizu?"
"Urh.. May I please know who have been giving these gifts, please?" I gave her a cute bunny pleading look.
"Oh! Sweetie, I'd love to, but it's always coded for some reason, here, you can see it if you want", she handed over the letters that were attached to the gifts.
I read it for a bit, ugh, the letters were so cringey, because it's not written by me..
'Dear Ena,
I'm someone who really adores your artwork,
They are very pretty, and so are you!
You are like my idol,
You make my life glimmer at the darkest times,
So please accept this little gift for your birthday.'
I saw the end of the letter; Regards, -+-__a
Huh? The name didn't made sense at all.
"See, I don't know where I'm getting them from", Ena said again.
"Yeah, I trust you princess, now I gotta go to work, see you tonight", I kissed her forehead before leaving to work.
For the past two days, I've been researching on who "-+-__a" is.
There can be two possibilities, the first is that this was just a stupid person from school that STILL has a crush on Ena. Second, is that this person is dangerous, a stalker probably, this possibility is much higher.
I twirl around my work chair and stood up to the document section. "These letters go here, I will save this investigation for tomorrow, right now, my princess needs me at home!" I say to myself enthusiastically.
Ena:
Oh... What shall I do to all these gifts, I don't really need this much collection. Mizuki is already giving me lots... I look at my accessory table, which is almost full.
I look at the clock, "Oh! It's almost time for my darling to come home", I giggle to myself.
I run to the kitchen then immediately prepare the ingredients I need to make a scrumptious, nutritious dinner for my one and only.
Chop, chop, chop
Blub, blub--_
Seasoning, garlic, shallots, mushroom, chicken, ~~~~pouurrr
Stir, stir|
~15 minutes later~

"Nice and warm!"
Ding dong~!
"My favorite noise of the day!" I quickly run to the door to open it for her.
"I'm ho-"
"WELCOME HOME MY LOVEEE" I hug her tightly like it's the last time I'm going to hug anyone.
She chuckles and hugs me back, "Glad to be home, princess"
"Mizu, I made chicken mushroom soup for you! I hope you like it, it's nice and warm", I lead her to the dining table.
We sit down facing each other.
"Geee, after a tiring day at work, I love to come home to your delicious cooking", she says while chomping down the food.
"You really like it huh", I gave her a little chuckle.
"Ywesh! ai lwop yuor coohkingsh", she says while gobbling the food again.
"Hey, eat slowly!"
Mizuki finished the food before I even started to eat.
"Hey, how can you not eat fast when you're eating something THIS good", she decided to grab my spoon and feed me.
I don't mind, of course, in fact I was thrilled.
I finished much faster than I thought, I guess it's true when they say; everything feels faster when you're doing it with someone you love.
Mizuki:
That night, I couldn't sleep. I tucked Ena to bed with me, but I couldn't sleep, I was too stuck up thinking about her secret gifter, or should i say, 'admirer'.
They could be a huge threat to Ena, and who knows, I might not be there when something bad happens to her...
How can I find someone, when the only clue I have is '-+-__a'.
Or perhaps... There's something more to the letter, something a human eye can't see without help.
Ah! How did I not think of that, why did I leave the letters in the office anyway, I gave myself a facepalm in the middle of the night, hoping that didn't wake Ena up.
I feel tired... I guess I should... Sleep
