Dream walked into the dingy office in a green cloak with his sword still stained with blood. He lugged the bag he was holding over his shoulder and waited for permission to speak.
"Was the job successful?" Asked the slimy man behind the desk, his cheeks already curled in anticipation.
"He was asleep, it was easy."
"And the proof?"
Dream sighed as he dropped the bag on the desk. "I don't like these cruel methods of proving I killed him, it makes it so much messier than necessary."
The man ignored him as he opened the bag to find a mess of pink hair and blood decorating the severed head of the now ex-king. The man's smile grew wicked as he started laughing to himself. Dream was glad that his mask could hide the disgust he felt. "And the crown?" The man asked when he realized.
"Sold it. It's not like you need it for proof." The man clicked his tongue. "Well, continue celebrating your victory I guess, I'm heading out."
"And when I need your services again?"
"Same place as always." And with that, Dream was out the door. He walked out of the building, not caring if people saw his bloody sword, and down the street. Who knows what would happen to this nice town, this lovely country, now that there's a new ruler. He didn't trust what the man would do, not in the slightest. Taxes would probably raise, people would suffer, they might be forced to go to war, any number of things. Why couldn't he have just refused the bounty, why couldn't he have thought about the people. Techno was a good ruler, he would've treated the country well if he had stayed on the throne.
Dream continued to think about it, regret compounding, while he made his way through the forest to his little tent next to a river. A man saw him and waved, bearing the widest and most relieved smile Dream had ever seen. He couldn't help but smile fondly back. This was the reason he took the bounty, why he dropped the few morals he still had, to watch Techno continue to smile this wide.
"Did everything work out?" Techno asked, excitement in his eyes.
"Yup, they took the bait, hook line and sinker, you're officially a dead man."
"Oh my gosh, finally!"
"And they'll never find me either since I don't have any human contacts. We can disappear."
Techno walked up to him and pulled him into a tight hug. "Thank you so much Dream, I couldn't do this without you, seriously."
"Haha, I know. I worry about the kingdom though."
"They're not my problem anymore." Techno stated, a shadow looming over his face.
Dream squeezed tighter, he knew how little control Techno had had over his country and how much it pained him. "Oh! Your crown!" He exclaimed, releasing and retrieving the object.
"You kept that?" Techno was amazed.
"Of course, it means a lot to you. You can't wear it in public, but I thought you'd want it."
Techno's smile was full of warmth and gratitude. "You're the best."
"I know. Now we should probably get started on our journey, we have the whole world to explore." Dream beamed a bright smile and started with the final packing, a question suddenly looming on his mind. "How did you get a replica of your severed head anyway?"
Techno chuckled. "I have my ways."
