[UNEDITED FIRST DRAFT]
Indulge in your past, or move forward towards the future?
Kaiser Flare had thought he was born to kill. Living in the Palace of Vaeciba as a servant after being abducted from the borders from his parents, he had never lived an easy life. Framed for the murder of his friend, Iva at the age of 10, yet becoming an assassin months later under the care of Keeper Flare along with his best friend Rowan, he accepted the fate he had been forced into.
Prince Atlas Johan Augustus of Vaeciba wasn't the same. Losing his friends and soon after his older brother, who burnt at the stake for yielding magic, was determined to find Yan and Rowan and be reunited happily. His parents, the King and Queen, aren't too content with the future ruler of Vaeciba's childish ambitions. They seek to find the perfect queen for him, but his mind is fixated on Yan, the sweet Xuefeng girl who was wrongly accused of murder.
One fateful day, a mysterious customer of Kaiser's, Wyvern, assigns him the job of eliminating the Prince. One that if executed successfully, would reward him 10 million monetæ, a sum of coin that would ensure he lived the rest of his life comfortably with no more difficulty. Despite having a history with the Prince, Kaiser is determined to forget about the past and accepts the task.
Only one of the two can succeed in their goal. Which one will it be?
