Vixen rode on Charizard over the skies taking shelter by the clouds in the sky. The dragon with scales the color of the ocean's gray waves and eyes as red as her own soared in the sky's over the gloomy Kingdom. 

Vixen had a contract she needed to fulfill before she can return home. She needed her income after all. She spotted Castle Krakenburg and carefully had the wyvern drop her and stay nearby but hidden in the clouds. Luckily it was very cloudy in the dark Kingdom.

Her contract was for the head of Queen Charlotte of Nohr. 

She had to bring the head back as proof she completed the contract. The contract was forged by a man in the slums of Nohr who was searching for the perfect assassin for the job. Apparently no toher had been able to take this job and finish it.

Vixen would change that.

But little did she know what this contract would Cause in the grand scheme of things.

She entered the castle. No one questioned her because her armor was one of a wyvern lord, a class in Nohr. Wyverns we're native to Nohr so she didn't seem entirely out of palce. Nobody recognized her which always was in the favor of someone like her.

She found her way around relatively quickly. She found the chambers off the queen of Nohr but a little girl with hair reaching down in long ponytails with ribbon twined into them was skipping to the room. Witnesses were not preferable. She turned and saw Vixen heading for the Queen's chambers. She smiled widely at her. 

"Hey! Nice to see you! What are you doing over here? Shouldn't soldiers be training right now?"

She was just an inch or so taller than Vixen. She definitely had energy. Based on her clothes she looked important, maybe a princess herself. But definately not the queen. Vixen looked into her lavender eyes.

"I have a message for the queen from the general. It would be preferable if you let me give it to her."

The princess raised an eyebrow. Then she broke out into another smile once again. It made Vixen question the persona of this girl.

"Why don't you let me give it to her? I can do it! I'm already going to see Charlotte anyway!"

So the queen's name was Charlotte. Charlotte was Vixen's target. But this girl was starting to annoy Vixen on a great scale. She just wanted to get the mission done so she can get paid and go home to her Lord.

"I was instructed to let the queen and the queen alone hear this."

She pouted. Her arms crossed over her chest that was almost as flat as Vixen's and her hair fell over her shoulders hiding some of her dress. 

"Well I order you to tell me to! Princess overrides general!"

So Vixen's suspicions she was a princess were correct. She was getting severely annoying. She wanted to just kill the Queen ndr get it over with, but if the princess insisted on getting in the way she'd murder her too.

"Why don't I just give the message to you and the Queen at the same time, Milady?"

When seemed to be content with the idea. 

"Perfect!"

She opened the door and let you in first. Big mistake. The Queen was sitting in front of a dresser, making herself all pretty. Perfect, it was only you three in the room. No other witnesses to deal with. Witnesses are a pain.

"Elise! Why are you here and why do you have a soldier with you?"

She turned around. Her voice was kind of annoying to hear to Vixen. Just by the first impression she can see why someone wanted this queen dead. Vixen could use any weapon she wanted to end the lives of those women. But since it was a decapitation mission she'd would use her trusty axe. But she left it in Izumo because carrying an axe around would be suspicious. So she's hidden a knife in her armor to get the job done.

"She has a message and I wanted to hear it so I came in with her! From the general!"

"The general? What does Benny have to say this time?"

She sat back down after turning her stool around. Her legs crossed and so didn't her Arms. Her attention was now on you. You had to make sure none of the could run away. 

"It's a private matter. Is the door locked?"

"All Nice and tight!"

Before even checking the princess, Elise, chirped in the answer. That's was good. Under her skirt she managed to grab the knife. Elise didn't notice but Charlotte did. She jumped up and grabbed an axe in the corner of the room.

"What on earth are you doing!?"

Warning for violence and/or gore

Elise was startled sto her abrupt reaction so she just watched Vixen as she rushed up to the queen with a silver knife in her hand. She tried to swing her axe in reaction but Vixen was too fast for the berserker Queen.

She lodged the knife into the shoulder of the Queen who screamed in pain in retaliation. She pulled the knife out bringing blood and small bits of flesh out as she lodged it into the senter of her forehead. She twisted the knife causing blood to splint out of the broken bone of her cranium. The knife sliced therough the front of the brain causing instant death. 

The limp body of the queen fell to the floor as the Now bloodied Vixen turned to Princess Elise of Nohr. She was frozen in place. Vixen ran up to her and simply held the knife to her throat. She intimidated the heck out of her before bringing the knife down and stabbing her in the chest. The blade went through her small body and penetrated her heart. Squirts of bloody came out and she retracted the knife. 

End of gore

She had to act fast. She went back to the bloody body of Queen Charlotte of Nohr Nd she used the knife to sliced her head off the neck. The blade easily sliced through her skin. Footsteps roared. She saw a window in the room and went towards it, breaking it open with her elbow. 

Right before Charizard swooped down to catch Vixen when she jumped out of the window the door slammed open to reveal a tall, well built blonde man and seemingly his son standing in the doorway. The smaller boy gasped when seeing the bodies but the older man glared at Vixen as She jumped out the window. She free fell a moment before landing on the back of her beloved wyvern.

So she had witnesses, but they didn't see her face. That was good. Now she had to deliver the head to the man who held the contract so Shen can get her pay and go back homemaker to Izuo.

But who just saw the bodies of the royals would change their lives as they knew it.
