Previously: "So. I see the Prince has taken a liking to you. How long can you keep this up without the king knowing? Not long at all I'm sure." An all to familiar voice says. No...

~*Lachy*~

No! It can't be! They said they would leave me be! I bite my lip before turning around. In the shadow of a building stood a man and a Baca, an assassin duo I was trained with and who two who promised to leave me be after that one incident...

"Mitchell, Jerome, didn't you say that you wouldn't come to the main city anymore?" I say coldly, hearing Jerome's deep chuckle.

"Relax Lil' Lachy. We know you have dibbs on the big city. We just came to check up on you," Jerome's voice was filled with humour, "and boy are you busy."

"S-shut it," I flush and cross my arms over my chest, "What is the real reason you are here?"

"Exactly what Jerome said. We were told to come here and check up on you," Mitch buts in as he pushes the giggling Jerome away.

"By whom exactly?"

"If we told you, it would ruin the surprise."

"Knowing you two it was most likely one of the royal guard," I grumble, shaking my head.

"Come on Lachy. Are you still blaming us for that one tiny little mistake that happened three years ago?"

"You almost got me killed," I growl.

"Oh my! An assassin almost got killed by a big man with a big axe! Maybe you should have watched your back," Jerome exaggerates, waving his hands in the air.

"You were supposed to do that."

"Whoops! My mistake. It won't happen again."

"You guys are ill," I mutter, turning around and pulling up my hood.

"Fine. Your sister asked us to come look for you," Jerome states as I take a step away.

"My sister is dead!" I yell, looking back at them.

"If you say so," Mitch shrugs before he and Jerome walk away.

I watch them disappear before walking into the home and collapsing onto one of the chairs. "Lachlan? Lachlan what happened out there?" Rob asks hurriedly, "Did he do anything to you?"

I shake my head no. "N-no. It's not Vik. It was a few other assassins I trained with."

"Assassins? No wonder I didn't hear your conversation. What did they say?" Rob asks, pulling up a chair beside me.

"Th-they said that Kaylee was still alive," I mutter quietly.

"Kaylee?" Rob looks at me in confusion.

"Kaylee is my sister. She was murdered by nobles with my father."

"Oh. I knew you had a sister, but you never mentioned her name until now. I'm sure they were trying to crawl under your skin."

"No. That's not how we do things. We don't talk about family or loved ones unless," my voice fades off as realization hits me.

"Unless what?"

"Unless they filed a contract."

I make it into my sleeping quarters without any trouble and collapse onto the bed. The sun was right over the mountains, and any moment now someone will come in to "wake me."
