"What is the ruckus going on? Did Tonpa already do a strike on his target?" 

The last assassin who was trying her best to conceal her presence heard the noise outside. Her target is a family eating nearby a famous eatery. She plans on dropping a few drops of poison on their food without them knowing. With her body secreting a bit of poison, any bodily fluid she drops is going to be poison to a normal person who has taken it in their body.

One drop and you are dead.

Her focus is solely on the family but for some unknown reason, her ears keep distracting the screams. 

"If he is done, he should already be here in my position to help me eliminate the other humans in the area."

She waited patiently for the next timing to appear to drop poison on the food. However, her ears were quick to pick up sounds as she heard the militia of the soldiers who are responsible for keeping the peace of the place remains stable.

"Find the killer! To kill someone by ripping his throat out isn't that brutal?! That assassin needed to be punished for killing an Insect Person! Find him and detain him whoever he is! If they try to escape or struggle, don't hesitate to kill them!"

The female assassin was stunned when she heard the words of one of the soldiers.

An insect person? Killed by ripping his throat out?

That's not how Tonpa kills!

Tonpa specializes in small doses of poison and dart throwing. He didn't like to kill with bloody outcomes since he wanted to be a silent assassin that can kill without shedding the blood of his targets. Although Papillon has a chance to kill in that method, he is not going to kill a fellow insect man since the target to kill this time is humans. So why did a fellow insect person die? And in a brutal form at that.

The footsteps of the soldiers are getting heavier which means they are getting near. As much as the female assassin wanted to complete the mission immediately, she decided to retreat. Even though they are hired by the people of the royal palace, they still cannot get themselves caught as that will jeopardize the job they were given. Also, an assassin getting caught by the guards is quite a humiliation to the pride of the assassins.

She quickly moved away using the darkness in the shadows and slipped through without a word away from the soldiers. She didn't want to get caught before she can even finish the mission. An important mission that will bring glory to the Insect Empire, and the liberation of the empire she lives in is not too far anymore.

An assassin's safest place is in the shadows. One with the shadows and live like a shadow, as an assassin, they have to work with it to be to their advantage. However, for the first time in her life, the shadows she was hiding in, for the first time, she felt uncomfortable.

The more she delved deeper into the darkness, the more it felt like something is lurking in the darkness.

Waiting.

Staring.

The moment she shows her weakness, it will bare its fangs and devour her whole.

"What is this feeling?"

"Maybe it's the fear of death perhaps?"

"Fear of death? Yeah, maybe it was- wait who-"

STAB!

The female assassin's vision suddenly dimmed on her left eye. She didn't know what happened but a sharp tinge of pain suddenly registered in her eyes.

"For an assassin, you guys sure are worthless in hiding in the shadows."

The last thing the female assassin knows is that someone has made a move before she can do anything. As her life flashed by, she saw the eyes of a wolf staring at her as her life slowly fades away.

"I guess, that's that."

The killer who killed the assassins. It was none other than Bladeheart, who looks scarier than the assassin with his wolf mask on as he kicked the female assassin's body off the roof and disappeared again in the darkness.

...

BANG!

"WHAT!? What do you mean they all died?!"

The voice of Pierre echoed in the room as he slam his hands to the table after he received the report.

"The other one is missing but since he is still missing, that means he was disposed of somewhere while the other two are killed and were thrown off the roof. The soldiers are looking out who are walking suspiciously around the area," the secretary of Pierre, Sera reported as she handed out the papers Pierre needed.

"I thought they are the best of the best assassins out there! Why did they die?! Did they ever accomplish anything that you can report me?"

"Unfortunately, Prince Pierre, the three don't have any kills done before they are killed. They were killed before they can even act an attempt."

CRASH!

"USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! F*CKING USELESS!"

The door opens and Alexandria appeared before them.

"Pierre? What was that sound I heard earlier... Oh."

"Silence, Sister! I am in a bad mood right now, I want to be alone for a while."

"That is not good, brother. One failure isn't enough to lash out like this."

"BUT I NEVER FAILED IN MY PLANS EVEN ONCE! THEY ALL CAME TO FRUITION EVERY TIME! NOT A SINGLE FAILURE!"

"Heh, I told you before, didn't I? Even if you are too sure about the plan, even if the success rate is already at 100%, it wouldn't hurt to make another backup in case certain circumstances similar to this happen again, right?" Alexandria sat on the table and grab the papers that Sera handed to Pierre and started skimming on them.

"I can't accept it. Failure is not an option. I am the perfect prince. I can't just fail my plans, I will need to make the most perfect plan that no one can sabotage or stop!"

"Tsk, tsk. This is your sickness, brother. A failure is always an option. And if you failed, just try it again but this time, learn what made your first attempt fail! Always remember that, idiot brother.. You are the future king. Once you become the king, failure is no longer an option, therefore, to avoid failure, you needed to at least learn what it was to feel it!"
