Lovesick Sweethearts (Cicero x Listener)

A Special Contract

It was after my conversation that I decided that I would go to Volunruud to find our Motierre. Cicero has not came to me, it was strange but I continued to proceed to the Whiterun hold. Astrid marked where the nordic ruin is, it was past Whiterun, between that city and Morthal. When I arrive in the ruin, I take the first left towards a small chamber where an imperial with dark hair was stomping around along with his bodyguard who was dressed like a soldier of the Imperial army.

"Amaund Motierre?"

I say roughly clearly impatient, he turns to stare at me

"Ahh our assassin has arrived Rex!"

Motierre says as Rex gives me an intimidating stare, his hand on his hip near his sword.

"Why did you plan to meet me here instead of some inn?"

I ask pulling ny hood up over my forehead

"The reason I wanted to meet you here, away from the city is because I want you to eliminate... The Emperor"

Je replies, my jaw drops in disbelief

"The Emperor?... of Cyrodiil?"

My eyes widen and he nods. He slips an amulet and letter into my dirty hands

"Take this to your... superior, the amulet will cover the costs and the letter explains what you have to do"

I smile as I leave to report wonderful news to Astrid.

I enter the Dark Brotherhood, no sign of Cicero. I was getting worried about him, I follow down the stairs to see Astrid brooding over the map

"Your going to be happy Mistress!"

I shout, she turns around raising a confused brow.

"Well? what did he want?"

She asks, I lift both of my hands to form an evil grin.

"He wants us to eliminate... The Emperor"

Astrid looks at me, not taking me seriously until I hand her the note and the amulet

"The amulet is for the costs and the letter explains what we have to do"

She begins smiling baffled.

"By Sithis... the Emperor... The Dark Brotherhood hasn't done anything like this since the assassination on Titus Mede II, This benefits us! we earn the gold, we'll be feared and we'll be respected again"

Astrid's words sounded truthful. I just stood there awaiting orders

"Take the amulet to Delvin Mallory of the Thieves Guild in Riften, he will tell us whatever he can on the amulet and its worth"

She pats my shoulder as I head into the Sanctuary. I should try talking to Cicero, I head to his room. He was eating a carrot and drinking some mead.  Cicero looks at me smiling as I sit next to him.

"Hey Cicero"

He looks at me like he wanted to say something.

"I heard you and Astrid talking, may loyal Cicero follow his Listener?"

His amber eyes like a puppy's eyes stare at mine, as much as I wanted him to come with me I thought I should visit with a different person.

"Sorry Cicero but I thought I could see how well everyone performs out there"

His happy mouth turned into a sad frown. I just think of who to head out with? Babette might not be safe since shes a human child to Skyrim but vampire, having her along could make us a target. Festus will most likely set someone on fire if they give him a dirty look. Nazir might tag along, I just need to give him some armour other than his Dark Brotherhood attire. I get up and leave Cicero's room without saying a word. I was still hurt from his previous behaviour. I see Nazir in the lunch room eating.
