Chapter 39; Know Your Place
The bald headed man announced before I could even fully comprehend all that I was hearing. My eyes widened as the words rushed into my ears.
My first mission?
Holy shit.
My heart instantly began to accelerate and my hands grew sweaty as I shoved my hands beneath my shirt.
"Um... this mission... it wouldn’t involve me hurting the Prince, right?" I breathed out hesitantly while glancing between them.
I didn’t know what prompted me to ask that question, but just wanted to get that out of the way before anything else. I stayed in the Prince’s room for about two days and I was completely unhurt. I didn’t know why but I was able to get out unscathed. Which is why I do not want to be involved in anything that might hurt him.
The two women in the group of four people all burst into laughter and I stiffened, swallowing emptily as I grew tenser and more stiff than I was a moment ago.
"Isn’t it cute that he thinks he has a say in whatever mission we chose to give him?" One of the women said and the other woman laughed for a bit while I grew more uncomfortable.
"Whatever mission we chose to give you is our business, it’s your job to do them without questions. Understood?" The same woman stepped closer as she spoke and I nodded fast while my heart raced really fast.
"If we need you to harm the prince, that’s exactly what you’ll do without questions. Is that clear?" She continued and I nodded again, already realizing my mistake of daring to question them.
