Killers Of The King Novels & Stories

Assassinating several people and royalty of all ages and genders, becoming feared amongst people. I've even overheard mothers making warning bedtime stories about me, I found it amusing. To think I used to want them as a small child. I was sent here at 16 after all... I remember one night in particular. It was one of my first missions. I had just killed Regatul dragonilor's King's beloved dragon. They're sacred to them in fact the name is Romanian for "Kingdom of dragons." Afterward, I was forced to kill the king's wife and children, instructed to leave him with no real riches.

Instead, the former king studied me carefully. Evaluating. Assessing. Looking for damage. Finally, he nodded. "You look thin." I blinked. That wasn't what I'd expected. At all. The older king frowned. "Have you been eating properly?" I stared. Then laughed again. A real laugh this time. The tension shattered instantly. Elias looked satisfied. "Good." Apparently his inspection was complete. Then chaos arrived. Lyra launched herself at me. Literally. I barely managed to catch her.

Right from when it was Lucian, me, him and Diana, he’s always been my anchor, and I wouldn’t replace him for anyone else in the world. So If Lucian thinks he’s going to bully me again and force me into doing what I didn’t feel comfortable with, he better think again because I will rather die by his hands instead. I could see the surprise in his eyes at my retort before he quickly concealed it with anger, leaving me stunned as to why I had never bothered to look into his eyes to let his real feelings give him away there. He suddenly grabbed my neck and forced my head to the wall, my chin raised, my chest heaving as I felt his hot breath down on my neck.

Justus flinched as Thaddeus clapped his shoulder. Several hours later, the Imperial crown was laid on Thaddeus head by the king maker with the entire city in attendance, after Lucius' golden burial. Everyone secretly thought that the god Zeus had laid a curse upon the throne after the only legitimate son of the emperor got infected by a blood sucker. What else could explain the sudden deaths of two promising young men in the space of a few weeks? As the people trooped out, one after the other, they all expected to gather again for his burial and the crowning of the next son.

- Oh, I almost let it slip. Tristan glared at his opponent for a while, then nervously unhooked his brass knuckles and threw them aside. - And what do you want from me? – Tantario asked coldly. - Tristan! – Telvisina shouted in warning, breaking away from Alter’s hand. “Your life,” the Lord smiled. - Isn’t the price too high? - Tristan was indignant - Really? Or do you really dream of taking the place of the Lord after me? You know our laws. The one who kills the king himself takes his place. The place of the Lord will not be empty.

I look around the room, looking for signs that I was being watched. ‘He wants the King dead.’ I link him. There was no other way to say it. I just had to tell him the cold, hard truth. But I also didn't want Amanda listening. He frowns and taps his temple ‘The King is dead. He had Colt killed.’ I shake my head. ‘Not King Colt. Aiden. Aiden is the King now. He wants Aiden dead. He wants the bloodline of the King to end and that ends with Aiden.’

"They know you're bonded to the King and are trying to kill you, and they also know we'd found a solution and were on our way to get him. So, they tried to kill him!" There was a stunned silence. Then, the King moved his eyes to the archer on the floor. "He's going to be our key to knowing everything" he said calmly. "As soon as he's awake, we'll question him and know who his accomplices are". A little feeling of relief ran through Roseline's body as she heard tbe words. They were going to question him and know who his accomplices were. That way, they'll be caught and she'll feel saved.

I can't believe he's doing this," I whisper. "So my father told me that if I didn't step down as King, he'd have to take drastic measure to prove the kind of evil man he is in order to protect himself, so for my sake and the sake of my loved one, I will be stepping down as your king and handing over the crown to my younger brother Christopher." I turn and look at Archie, "Take him to me now." I get up from the couch, grab my purse and make a run for the door with Archie right behind me, we jump into the car and speed to the parliament.

"This is your king. This is the very people you entrusted your life to. They were nothing but bloodthirsty monsters!" "No," Someone from the crowd shot back. "You're the master of the Chimera. You are the one behind those brutal killings. They are monsters but you are one of them." "No one said this when my only daughter was murdered. No one remembered this when the ripper terrorizes the Kingdom for years. Did you care to know who those culprits were? The monsters who killed my daughter were the King's personal guards. Werebears who raped my daughter till her body couldn't handle it anymore. To cover their tracks, They burned her like wood and we're covered up by the late king himself but wh

It was chaos. But what bothered me most wasn’t the noise. It was the look on Camille’s face. That calm, knowing expression. What was she up to? There was still no clarity on whether the king knew of Kayden’s involvement, but if he didn’t, could that mean she had at least spared him out of pity? What was going on… “They were there when it happened, plotted it as a group, and encouraged the killer,” the king continued over the noise. “And soon, the killer himself will stand before you!”
