Nya White and the Seven Ninja

The Jod

Dilara waited patiently for her guess to arrive. He was suppose to be here a few minutes ago, but that didn't matter to Dilara. She was a very patient woman.

She was waiting in the throne room when her servant, Clancee, came in the room. "My queen, your g-g-guess has arrived." He informed her. Dilara turned and said "Thank you Clancee, now leave us." Clancee bowed and left the room. Another man entered the room, her guess had arrived.

"Hello Ronin." Dilara said and turned to face him. "Your majesty." Ronin said.

"You must be wondering why I have sent for you." Dilara said and smiled. "Yay, not many people invite a thief to their home." Ronin said in a sarcastic tone.

"I have a job for you to do." Dilara said and walked towards him. "You will take my stepdaughter away from the palace and kill her." Ronin looked at the queen in shock and asked "Why do you need me to kill your stepdaughter?"

Dilara's smile faded and she said "Let's just say that she's in my way, and I need to remove her."

Ronin looked at the queen and said "There's no way I'm killing the princess." Dilara knew this might happen and held up a sack of gold coins and said "I'll pay you extra than what you normally request." Ronin sighed, he needed the money to pay off a very large debt, so agains his better nature, he agreed.

"Excellent, and to prove that you did it, bring back her heart in this box." Dilara said and handed him a beautiful box. Ronin didn't want to do this, but he had to.

"When and where should I take her?" Ronin asked with his eyes closed. "Take her flower picking in the forest, and take her tomorrow after noon." All Ronin could do was nod. "Is that all." He asked. "Yes, and don't tell anyone, or I'll have you executed." Dilara said.

With that done, Ronin went home to the village. Tomorrow was going to be a hard day. For him and the princess.
