My name is Samantha Devoy, I am a first class guard know for my power and fighting skills. I am know across the globe for my loyalty to the king, king Luke, I will gladly risk my life for his. The king has sent me on a mission to secure a peace treaty with neighboring lands normally  king Luke would do it himself but was caught up in some other important business in the city, so I have come in his place with great honor to secure this treaty. Something did feel very off about all of this though something wasn't right this treaty was out of nowhere and the king never said a word to me about this before. "Men we must make haste to the meeting point we must return quickly with greatful news!"
Soldiers:"Hoorah! Long live the king! Under your orders General Devoy!"
As weird as it might be to follow orders from a woman these men trust and will follow me to war any day and im so greatful they stand by my side. But with my men in good heart and in a cheering mood this treaty couldn't go any better. And luckily we are almost upon the meeting point. But it seems like we will be arriving first even though they were asking for the treaty how dishonorable. But alas we get first pick at setting up camp its been a few days on horse back so we might as well stay for the night.
"Alright men looks like we are the early ones and get first pick at camp set up! So pitch your tent and get a meal running so we can feed our new found friends!"
Soldiers: "We're the first ones? Alright lets get cooking im starving! Ill find a place to hold our horses. I got some tents ready!"
As cheerful and random as they are I can always count on them for a good laugh. This is going to be a good night. Or i thought so anyways. Suddenly we were attacked a gang of assassins trying to ambush the king on this treaty point.
Soldier 1: "GENERAL DEVOY ASSASSINS FROM THE BLOOD DEMONS ARE ATTACKING! WHERE DID THEY COME FRO-AGH"
Samantha: "KAPRAL NO! How dare these assassins attack us there can't be many just enough to kill the king! Soldiers defend and kill with all that you have! Don't let any escape with there lives!"
I thought there wouldn't be enough to take out my army. Yes it was an army of 100 men but its big enough to scare off any attackers I thought. One after the other the assassins fell but so weren't my soldiers I was trying to protect them with everything I had but I had to defend from them myself as well I was knocking down everyone that came at me... 10, 15, 20. Counting the bodies that have fallen to my hand I will never loose the thrill of fighting for my beliefs but as many as I was taking down and as fast as I could the assassins were ready to leave not a trace of anyone behind they obliterated my army. What was only 10 minutes felt like 3 hours finally they stopped, the assassins were defeated but with only me and one of my soldiers who was badly wounded and needed help. I was an idiot I knew something was wrong I must get him a doctor as fast as possible I grabbed my horse that I hid a little further away from our camp and luckily she wasn't hurt I put the soldier on the horse and guided him to the nearest town.
I finally arrived with no trouble on the way over I quickly found a doctor and begged for help while assuring the doctor he would be paid fully no matter what and a bigger reward if he lives. The doctor took the soldier immediately into surgery. All I could do is wait at this point. So I went looking around the town for answers on why my men were killed in heartless murder. And the one place to hear gossip is a bar but being the only woman in the kings personal guard I have to hide my identity so I grabbed some old clothes and and rags I found in an alley way.
Samantha:"gross but it could be worse and now isn't a time for luxury"
I headed to a nearest bar it wasn't long before some drunk idiot tried to hit on me. Even as disgusted and wanting to beat this man to a bloody pulp I need to start somewhere so I dealt with it.
Drunken idiot: "what's a fine place like you doing in a... a girl like this?"
Samantha: " looking for answers on why my men were murdered" (yes I know it was crazy way to start it by I need someone who understood what and how serious I was)
Drunken idiot: "oh so what im hearing is you're-single? Well *burp* search no longer... Baby cause your prince has arrived"
Samantha: "sit down shut the fuck up and listen"
(Wrong choice of words)
Drunken idiot: "Woah baby no need to push things but if you insist *sits down and puts hand on her leg*"
Samantha: "I've had enough! *swiftly and quietly knocks the man out with a quick punch to the back of the head* and nobody will ever notice but he is going to wake up with a killer headache. That's what he deserves"
Bartender: "well I was gonna say something to him but seems like you have it under control"
Samantha: "sorry about that I was just getting annoyed so I took care of it"
Bartender: "well if I can get you anything let me know"
Samantha: "thank you"
And as soon as I said that I heard this.
Drunk guy: "whatever man I highly doubt it"
Stranger: "yes it is very true they kicked me out for not believing that what they were doing was alright"
Drunk girl: "I highly doubt someone who was in the blood demon assassin guild would go against what they believed they are just criminals that do silent dirty jobs"
Stranger: "maybe the name Bic rings a bell to you"
Guy who has seemed to be interested now: "Bic is an S class assassin that has never failed a mission he would always follow the guild"
Stranger: "his loyalty to the king is worth more than what they were planning to do but im not getting in the cross fire"
Drunk girl: "*hiccup* you must be strong then"
Bic: "you can bet your ass I-Woah!"
Samantha: "don't say a word or ill rip out your eyes and have you choke on them"
Bic: "ah is it my time to die? Haha whelp I had a good run i didn't even save the king"
I brought him to the alley I got my rags and put my armor back on that I hid very well.
Samantha: "recognize me?"
Bic: "one of the royal guards going after me? Well hot damn im flattered."
Samantha: "why did you attack a convoy of the king on a peace treaty?"
Bic: "Woah there sweetheart sorry but im not apart of them anymore they kicked me out when I disagreed with killing the king but seems like they failed luckily"
Samantha: "Yes and they took out all of my men except for me"
Bic: "so the king wasnt with you huh the flyer said to kill the king but seems like they failed on getting the king their oh well im glad."
Samantha: "someone set this up?"
Bic: "obviously and don't ask who it was a stranger who never reviled himself and paid 500thousand gold up front and when the mission was don't the full million so by that we knew it was a traitor in the castle. I said no but the guild members were blind with the money"
Samantha: "someone wants the king dead? But why?"
Bic: " I have no idea I didn't like the idea as well the king is..." Bic's words were cut short from a flying arrow that went right in between Bic and I.
Archer: "Bic your life ends here!"
