"Gah! Where is it!"
I'd search for my dagger. I keep extra weapons since chain blades could easily slip off if I'm not careful.

I could trip as well, but I've trained for 10 years already and I'm turning 21 in 6 months

I could trip as well, but I've trained for 10 years already and I'm turning 21 in 6 months. My boss, Lingard, says I carry too many weapons. All I have is two daggers, hidden blades, chain blades, and a Nodachi(A katana).

         I'd think to myself, 'I should talk to Gyoni about new daggers.'

        I look at the blade of my left-handed dagger and it looked worn out.

'I'll visit after this mission.'

I pulled up my mask and my hood and exited through the roof.

"Hey Ky!" I'd hear a man yell.
"Why don't you walk on the street like a normal person eh?"

"Well, that's not the question. What if I'm not normal?" I'd respond.
"Good point sir. Just don't fall."
He let out a small chuckle.
I'd smirk and continue running to base.

I crouch on a rooftop looking down at Kyri. She's the princess of this land I call, Dustrian. The real name of the land is Quiern, but it's hard to pronounce it so I just named it after breaking a dusty window dirtying the entire room I fell in. It's funny now, but my dad was furious when he found out about it. He'd kick my ass right now if he was still alive.

       Kyri looked up at me.
"Oh! Kyoto!" She'd yell.
"Hey Kyri."
I'd jump off the rooftop landing in front of her
"How's the new princess thing going along?"
"Ugh, it sucks. I wish I could be an assassin like you and work for Lingard. You guys are actually making a difference in this kingdom!"
"I'm pretty sure that's not what your dad thinks,"
"Fuck what he thinks."
"I suppose..."
"Anyways, is this another assassination mission?"
I'd nod.
"Do you know who?"
"Yeah, some girl named Diane. A human medic adding poison to her patient's medicine. Wanted for a good price if I do say so myself."
"Wait...Diane Mcane?"
"Um yeah why?"
"I've met her before, she seems to have a little crush on you."
"Wait what?"
"You're pretty popular in this district. I hear chatter about you all the time when I take a stroll around here."
"I've...never noticed."
She'd giggle. "Of course you didn't you stupid."
I'd smirk as I roll my eyes.
"Kyoto Morisaki!" Someone yells. I look to the left and I see Lingard walking toward me in heavy shining armor.
"Slacking off on the job for your girl again eh?" He'd let out a loud laugh.
"I was just leaving sir," I said quietly.
"Ah, don't sweat it kid. Just get the job done. You're the most skilled fighter in the kingdom. You deserve more than you have y'know?"
I'd roll my eyes. "Stop kissing my ass, I gotta job to do."
Lingard would pat me in the back.
"Lighten up a bit!"
I'd sigh. "Yes sir."

         I'd start running towards the castle.
'Lingard told me that Diane's at a banquet right now...' I'd start to think of a strategy. 'Undercover should do the trick. Kyri said she had a little crush on me so I'll have to be seductive.' I'd sigh. 'Welp, there goes my dignity...'
I'd climb to the very top of the castle waiting for the banquet to start.
