Court Bodyguard

2-New Encounter

Shirayuki and Saki were outside the castle,in front of the bodyguards
"Please,let me bring her in! This is important!" Shirayuki begged looking at them
"Well,if its Shirayuki-dono there's no problem but.."they were very concerned about her,one of them whispered to the other "why is she covered in blood?.."

They came to a decision to let her in.Shirayuki knocked on Zen's office door,she heard a faint 'come in' from the inside.
Both of them went inside,Kiki,was looking through some books as Mitsuhide cleaned his sword leaving Zen doing the Desk work.

"Hm?Shirayuki?Who's this?"
He stood up walking towards them,Saki bowed,
"I'm Saki,your majesty Zen."
Shirayuki had explained half of what happened,
"I see.."he looked a little unsettled.

"And?What happened to the men?"He said looking at Shirayuki.
Saki stood straight up.
"I killed them,your majesty." She said bluntly, looking at him sharply.
Zen didnt know what to say nor think.
"Saki,come with me."
He dismissed Shirayuki and told Mitsuhide and Kiki to wait in the office.

They went into an underground Castle corridor that was pretty dark and the path was narrow going down the stairs.
"Have you perhaps,Ever worked anywhere-"
"I haven't...but if you wanna know something I did do over the past-.I was An Assassin."
Her emerald green eyes looked at him as her black long hair that was let loose which ended at the end of her back swept through her shoulders.

She indeed was a really pretty girl,she had a red clip that took two strands of hair from both sides clipped at the back.

Zen believed every word she said,her clothing was all wine and black,she obviously seemed like someone who would kill in one slice with no sound.

"Ahh..I see.." They ended up at a hall that went In a circle,there were doors all over.
"In here" he pointed to a door on the left,when they walked in,Saki seen a young woman around her twenties tied up with chains to the wall,she was a little bruised,a few blood marks on her clothes.
She thought her job was probably to get all the information she could from them.

"Please..spare me!I have two kids!..please!" The woman begged crying.
Saki looked blankly at the woman,her eyes once again lifeless,"Spare..you?.." She repeated coldly,no,cold didn't even explain her tone.It was bitter,and scary.
Saki pointed her red sword at the woman "you really don't know anything?.."
"No!I don't!I swear!I promise!!!"the woman roared crying

"I see..then.."
The woman looked up at Saki in shock as she swung the sword at her."Goodnight." Leaving the woman headless as her blood splattered on her clothes.Zen was in shock,even Zen himself got frightened of her.She did it without even hesitating.
She turned to him.
"That's all, right?"
Zen nodded,they both went up the stairs.

"Hey,do you..not feel bad,or scared doing this?"
"Don't make me laugh.I'm used to it,even if I did have some problem with it,it wouldn't matter anymore."
Zen looked at Saki
"Since I did it.I can't make them come back right?"
She took a minute for a pause,
"If you do something in life,you can never redo it.Its done so you just gotta accept it."
