Ruthless (Powerless fanfic)

Chapter 1 Dorian

Dorian

I hid behind one of the many run-down buildings in the slums. I saw the group walking into an abandoned house. I quickly followed; I stood right outside the wall in the house listening to their conversation. The general has sent me on a mission to spy on the resistance and get as much information about what they plan to do next.

"So, you think the resistance might be a problem in the future? But they all might just be ordinances. What can they do to harm us?" I stood in the general's office. A bit surprised of his request. Because why would he feel threatened by a ton of ordinances.

"I'm just making sure Ilya is safe. I know they can do no damage to us. But I want you to spy on them to make sure they aren't going to plan anything towards the palace." He said while he sat at his desk, going through some files.

I walked through the empty streets of Ilya. The lights in the city are dimly lit around this time at night. While in the slums it's dimly lighted because of the cost for electricity. No person is out on the streets tonight in the slums people wouldn't dare, afraid they might get robbed or get a beating for whatever money they have.

When I was living in the slums trying to get whatever food or money I can. A wealthy elite who works as the king s right hand man. He took me in. Castor Lysander And he took me in as his Trainee I presumed. he said he saw the potential in me and took me to start training me. I knew if I didn't accept the offer I would die of starvation. I make it past the slums into the main city. I'm already started working under the general of Ilya. And he still finds a way to criticize me.

I go in my room through my bedroom window to not be discovered, I quickly strip of my hood and mask. And let them fall down onto my bedroom floor. I dropped my dirty shirt on the ground with the rest of the pile of clothes. I take out my sword and my whetstone and put them on my desk to sharpen my sword, then someone opens the door. It was just daphne.

My friend who I grew up with in me late teenage years. But others might think she is just my maid. She started working in this house. When we were 16 To make it out of the slums. 
she has been my friend for 3 years. she and I are the same age. she heals me when I get hurt on a mission or during training with Kitt when I have the chance to train with him.

"What happened with the mission?"
She asked as she took my mask. hood. and other clothes in her basket to wash.

I tell daphne only a bit about most of my Spy missions. Only about where I went. Only on rare occasions I travel a bit outside of Ilya.
"Can you start a bath for me. I'm all sweat and dirt if you didn't get a good look before,"

I teased as I noticed her staring at my muscular back. Before turning to her to see an annoyed look on her face. She had blonde hair and amber eyes. "Whatever you want to believe in Dori."

She grumbled. But a small soft smile on her lips. And went to start to the bath. I chuckled at her attitude towards me playful flirting. then my door barged open revealing to see my father or caretaker of course I never called him that. Castor. I stood up instantly as he walked over to me.

"Where were you? I didn't see you at all today." He demanded like he cared about my wellbeing. He just wanted someone to control. And he gets a kick from trying to control me.

"I was doing a mission. That the general sent me on." I muttered a hint of frustration and annoyance. "I didn't get to tell you beforehand. It was last minute,"

"Fine, don't disappoint me. Dorian." If it was anything else I would probably get More training, even worse if it's from him, "I won't. Father." I said as he finally left "thanks Daphne." I thanked her as I turned to look as she came out of the bathroom.

"You're Welcome are you sure you're, okay?" She asked with the bit of concern in her amber hues and voice. " Yeah... I'm sure, you can go now." She nodded. And left without giving me one final look. Before exiting my room.
I sighed as strip the rest of my clothes off, before getting in tube where the hot water is. It took a bit to get used to before I got comfortable. And started washing myself with my vanilla soap.

After I'm done. I wrapped a towel around my waist then walked out of the bathroom to my room. Put on a brown loose shirt. And a pair of trousers before laying down on my semi-comfortable bed.

Tomorrow is another day...

After I finish my tasks. I walked in the palace of Ilya. My strides long and fast pasted. As I made my way up the long case of stairs. To go and report to the general- "Hey Dorian." I hear a familiar voice called out to me.

It's Kitt. We have been friends for a while. But not as much since he's going to be king.
After his father step-down,

"Hi Kitt. What's happening?" I turned my attention to the blond. "Me and Kai are training. What about you? Do you think you might be in the purging trials?"
He asked as he walked with me. "I'm not sure yet, I think castor would tell me if I was."

"Y'know you can train with us too; I'm sure Kai wouldn't care that much." "Thanks, but I'm good for now Kitt."
Alright. Just tell me if you change your mind. I'll see you When I see you."
He patted me on the back. Giving me one of his smiles before walking away.

I continued to walk in the dimly lit hallway. I turn a corner then felt something bump into my chest. I looked down.

To see probably one of the most beautiful women I ever saw. I saw her lilac hair falls down her shoulders in soft waves. While her emerald eyes stare in my icy ones.

I look up when I hear the clock. 5:00 pm, I realize I was supposed to be at the general's office twenty minutes ago... Shit, I ran past the lilac beauty. Whose eyes stare into mine with a hint of anger and annoyance. Before I practically run to the general's office.
