As the best assassin in the Embassy yearning for another job to do, Lee Nari's newest mission caught her off guard: kill Kim Seokjin.
Killing a wealthy prince of a well known kingdom seemed pretty easy to Lee Nari. But with the prince's protector, J...

WHEN THE car pulled up to the town's center, the tinted black vehicle gained the attention of many and eventually formed a small crowd. Nari couldn't help but become nervous at the sudden attention.
As she stared at the faces in the crowd, bursting with curiosity in them, she felt the hairs on her neck stand. For some odd reason, her heart beat quickened and she began to sweat. Big crowds had never done her justice in all her years of living.
Seokjin, who had been sitting beside her, notices her change in expression and—in the most soft and cautious manner ever— lays his soft hand on the back of hers causing her to flinch at the sudden touch. "Don't worry. They're good people." He reassures her, a small and warm smile laying upon his face. His eyes danced with nothing but honesty as he looked into hers.
Seokjin's words went through one ear and out the other because all Nari could focus on was his cold, silky, skin on hers. She hadn't realized until this very moment, as Seokjin's skin grazed hers, but she was extremely touch deprived. The fact made her heart ache. Nari nodded to him anyway, hoping to convince him she understood, before looking outside the tinted window once more.
The driver suddenly stops the car, exiting, before he circles around to open the door for the three. Nari is the first to step out of the car, the warm breeze blowing through her tied up black hair, to be greeted with a common reaction from the fellow Alorians [people of aloral].
After anticipating for months, a new protector of the prince was finally here, of course the people would be surprised to see her. But even more, they were surprised to see she was a woman; the first protector of the prince to ever be a woman.
Nari makes awkward eye contact with the people in the crowd as she irritably waited for Seokjin and Jungkook to get out of the car. She put on her tough persona as the new protector as she couldn't help but hear whispers coming from the crowd.
A woman? Who is she? The new protector? She looks too frail for a protector. Of course, she is, she's a woman. She's bound to hook up with one of them, that's just how woman are. They replaced him [the previous protector] so quick. How can we trust her? Nari couldn't help but internally roll her eyes at all the misogynistic and ignorant comments.
Seokjin steps out first, stretching his arms out wide above his head as he faked a yawn. Nari couldn't help but notice his shirt slightly lift up, revealing the skin of his lower abdomen. This sneaky action of his causes a number of girls to squeal in the crowd. Nari's eyes travel back up to his face, a sudden smirk of satisfaction appearing on his lips.
Nari stifles a laugh. She liked how the prince was so careless. It was obvious as to why he needed protectors constantly by his side. If there weren't people out to get him, she's sure his own carelessness would've led to his death.
