The crown's enemy

He plunged the dagger into my side and I screamed in agony. He pulled it out and threw me on the ground increasing the pain even more. But it was nothing compared to the pain I felt of betrayal.

"There you wanted her dead. I did it for you. Now you owe me." H/n spat.

I saw shock and disgust on V/n face. Why?
H/n did what he never managed to do. He did the job for him and V/n gets to walk away without blood on his hands. I struggled to get back on my feet. H/n started taking wide strides towards me to finish the job.
I heard a gun cock behind me and he abruptly stopped

"That's far enough. Walk away while you still can. Just because I owe you doesn't mean I can't owe you after I put a bullet trough your leg." V/n said with bitterness seeping from his voice.

H/n huffed and walked out. I couldn't stand upright anymore. I collapsed but felt someone catch me. I saw his face. His features laced with something I never thought I'd see him look at me with. Concern and...fear.

Ruling a kingdom is hard but it gets especially difficult with an assassin on your tail. In a kingdom where your closest friend turns out to be your enemy and an ally can be found in the person you'd least expect.
Hiraeth has been assigned to eliminate the crown prince of the kingdom of Salvanear. The prince however is not going to go quietly. They play a game of cat and mouse and every time one spares the other. Neither of them knowing the reason why.
