“Long live King George!” The kingdom cheered; commoners raised their voices as royals raised their glasses.
George raised his in turn, tipping crimson wine to his lips, staining his teeth with it. A perfected smile shone to all who looked upon him. Any who bothered to look closer faltered for his eyes never matched his smile, they always revealed wickedness within him. Nineteen years was enough to make him terrifying.
Devils and heathens. His peers around him laughed over spilled champagne and harmless jest. You are the lot that killed them. He knew the man with the gold mask was no common murderer. One of the Faceless had been summoned and such skill came with a hefty price.
They think I will fail. He laughed to himself. They think I’ll bend to their will. The crowd roared in his ears, the famine forgotten in their moment of glee. Soon they’ll learn that I bow to no man or god. And to any that seek to stop me… I’ll be their fucking ends.
King George, the last of his lineage, has always known he would die. Ever since his ascension, he was obsessed with surviving a kingdom that never wanted him and leaving behind a great legacy. Alone with the weight of his crown, George never anticipated befriending the assassin that tried to kill him or that this man would change everything he thought he ever wanted.
