The Assassin [Prince! Sting Eucliffe X Assassin! Reader]

Chapter 1| Protection and Missions

January 13, X791

Noises of rain pounding and thunder were heard throughout the kingdom. A large crowd of people had gathered around a graveyard as they watched the queen's casket go into a hole. Teary eyed and drowned in sorrow, the prince watched along with his father.

"Why did it had to be you?!" The prince cried. He sniffed and whispered loudly, "WHY COULDN'T IT BE ME?!" As he said that, a roar of thunder and more rain came pounding causing him to calm down. Behind him was his depressed father, watching his son cry his guts out.

He walked by his son and whispered. "Oh Victoria, if you're hearing us right now, I just want you to know that we miss you very much and we love you very much and..." The man, also known, as King Weisslogia Eucliffe, paused and looked at his son. He then pulled his son into a hug and looked at the casket that held his deceased wife. "Farewell, my love."

After a day of mourning and despair, the kingdom was set on lockdown and high alert after their dear queen was assassinated.

The kingdom has shut down and stopped the trains from coming into the kingdom. They closed the gates and isolated themselves from other kingdoms. Guards were everywhere in the kingdom, questioning and checking people who looked "sketchy."

Suddenly after her death, guards found bodies of a group of military men with bullet  holes and toxic gas lingered on their bodies. "This is part of her job... Isn't it?" A soldier  from the military had said. The commander of the military looked at him with suspicion and asked, "Who's job?" The man jumped in surprise and turned. "W-Well there's this huge rumor going around that a girl is behind this assassinations. She is known to be a cold-blooded woman with no emotion. Some citizens described seeing a woman walking around on the day of the Queen's murder with no emotion." The soldier stuttered out, shaking a bit.

The commander looked at him with pity in his eyes. "And you tell me this now?!" He yelled, grabbing the collar of the soldier. "YOU KNOW HOW MANY LIVES YOU COULD HAVE SAVED?!" He yelled into his face. The soldier tried to stay sting since he was yelled at and choked out, "B-But Sir!! This is only just a rumor! You know only some rumors are fake!" The commander growled and replied, "Oh? But some rumors are real." The soldier said nothing and looked down.

The commander huffed and grabbed the messenger who was nearby. "I want you to address a message to the King. It is very important, so I want you to address it to him quickly." The messenger nodded and quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen.

While with the citizens, they were also not taking this well as they lost contact from family members outside of the kingdom and farmers couldn't sell their delicious set of vegetables and fruits to other kingdoms.

It was still pouring cats and dogs in the kingdom where the prince was taking a stroll through the kingdom. People looked at the prince with sad and surprised expressions. They too were still in sorrow.

The prince stopped in front of a church where his deceased mother was kept and sat on the steps on the church. "Mother, don't you worry. I will avenge your death and kill the assassin that took you away from us."

"I will fulfill my promise, mother."

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!!!" A councilmen shouted and slammed his hand on the table causing everyone's talking to stop. The councilmen stopped and ran a Hand through his blonde hair. "What we need to focus is the protection of our kingdom and how to get rid of the crimes, not to cry about our past and panic about it."
