Aelin P.O.V
I snuck up behind him him as quickly and quietly as I could. Right when I was getting ready to attack he turned around and shot a icicle straight for my heart. Of course I melted it.
"You losing your touch Aelin. I heard you from across the room."
Dorian let out a laugh.
"In my defence I am wearing heels."
"No I don't think that is the reason. I think that you are losing the assassin part of you. Too much Queenly business."
"Is that what you think? You try sneaking up to someone with heels on."
His eyes lit up with mischief.
"Well well it seems like we are at a disagreement."
I tried putting on a serious face and I could tell Dorian was trying too.
"It seems that we are."
"I propose we settle this in the most civilised way I can think of."
He paused for dramatic affect.
"A bet!!!"
Sure I'm up for a bet.
"What do you propose Dorian?"
"If you can sneak into Adarlan, into the castle and into my private chambers without being spotted or arrested... I will wear whatever outfit you want me to wear for an entire day."
"Deal. But you have to inform all of your guards. Tell them this is a training exercise. If I catch them and best them in a fight, they fake die. They have to act like they are dead. I don't feel like killing half of  your castle just because yo didnt want to inform your soldiers."
"Ok Ok, deal. Give me a day to set this up. And you are not allowed to use magic. Do this as if you were an assassin again. You only have a day to complete this bet."
"You have until midnight tonight."
He ran off in search for Fenrys. He needed to be threaded to Adarlan or else there would be no way for him to get there in time. I on the other hand took off in the opposite direction. I had to find the black suit I would wear when I was the best assassin.
                                ~~~
I had Fenrys thread me to Adarlan once I was ready. He dropped me off at the edge of the kingdom. I had no problems getting into Adarlan. Just getting into the castle. No doubt Dorian had doubled security. I didn't even try to get in by the secret passages. I knew that by know Dorian had discovered each and every one of them. How am going to get in? I waited until it was dark out. I could see that Dorian started a buddy system. Every guard post had two guards. I looked for a weak link in the chain. I found it. One guard was alone because his buddy had to piss. I snuck up behind him and put my knife to his throat.
"You're dead. Now lay down quietly."
"Shit." He said while lying down.
I climbed the gate from there. As soon as I got over the gate there were a couple of guards in the courtyard. I ran up to each and every one of the whispering, you're dead. I took the servant passages through the castle. There would be no guards there. When I got infront of Dorian's room there were four guards. One of them was Chaol. I walked up to every guard besides Chaol and fake killed them. I looked at Chaol, smile and threw a blunted knife straight for his heart. It hit his uniform and fell to the floor.
"You're dead Chaol."
He looked at me frowning.
"And here I thought Aelin that we would fight nobley. Hand to hand combat."
"Sorry Chaol. Dorian told me I had to do this like an assassin and if I was an assassin you would be dead. So lay down."
He glared at me but did lay down. I laughed a little. This was fun. I knocked on the door of Dorian's room. I heard Dorian rustling around in his room.
"Did they capture her? Did we win?"
As soon as he opened the door his face fell. I put a knife to his throat.
"You're dead Dorian."
Dorian looked at all of the guards in the ground. He gasped when he saw that Chaol was one of them.
"Chaol! What kind of a guard are you? I'm dead now. You know what you're fired. What if she was a real assassin."
Chaol got up laughing.
"You don't mean that."
Dorian went on the balcony of the castle that was over looking the courtyard.
"Cangratulations! Aelin has killed me. You all failed at protecting your king. You should be ashamed. Now I have to wear exactly what she wants me to wear all of tomorrow. And I bet it will be embarrassing."
Oh it will be. I'll make sure of that.
                             ~~~
"Aelin I'm not wearing that. I have a meeting today."
"Yes you are we had a bet. And I Will be at the meeting all Lords, Ladies, kings and Queens will be there."
"Then get out and let me get changed."
"Fine but it's not like I haven't already seen all of that."
                             ~~~
I could not contain my laugh as I saw Dorian in his attire for the day. He was wearing an almost identical copy of my gold night gown. Except his was metallic blue and it was shorter. He was wearing matching heels as well.
"Aelin you can't make me wear this."
"I can and I will. Next time don't insult my assassin skills. Have fun with that. I'll see you at the meeting."
