Next Assassination: The cute prince!

“Your target is Crown Prince Poron. He is in the way of my child's ambition.”

This time Kanami's client was a queen. It was rare for her to get female client, nonetheless royalty. Meaning Kanami was finally moving up in the world. Awesome! Maybe next time she gets to kill a King or even the Pope!

Still, the pay wasn't as great as with Beatrice. A mere 100 gold coins, Parancho was a very poor and small country at the edge of the Free Cities. But still a prince was a prince! Kanami giggled to herself. She always dreamed of meeting a real prince. Sure, she has to kill him but maybe he will give her a kiss before she slit his throat? Kyaah! Soo romantic!

Kanami made sure she came prepared. She had a clothespin on her nose, stuffed cotton in her ears and even wore a diaper. It was humiliating of course, but it's not like anyone is going to see it.

The castle was very poorly manned and as such Kanami had an easy time sneaking in. She only almost get caught twice(a new personal best) before making her way to the prince's bedchamber.

There he was sleeping! Oh wow! That was too easy! Kanami was ecstatic! She would finally do it! She would finally complete a mission. All she now had to do is to murder this boy.

This very cute and adorable looking boy.

Wait a minute, is this even a boy?

Didn't the queen say something about her daughters ambition? What if that here is actually the daughter? Yikes! She almost killed the wrong person. That would have been awkward.

Still, she had to make sure.

“I'm sorry” Kanami mumbled before very carefully pulling the covers back He(She?) was wearing a very thin sleeping shift.

That didn't really look like boobs. She gave it a careful pat and the prince/princess mumbled something. Thankfully without waking up. Maybe she was just flatchested? In any case there was only one thing left to do.

Very red, Kanami slowly pulled the shift upwards until his lower body was fully exposed.

Well, as far as Kanami knows girls don't have dicks, so that settles it. This was the prince.

Time to kill him! Kanami readied her Kunai and hesitated once more.

...did the Queen really say daughter? What if the Crown prince had a brother? That was absolutely possible right?

Ah this sucks! Why couldn't the Queen have shown her a picture or something!

Just as Kanami was pondering what to do, the sleeping beauty in front of her opened his eyes.

“Gyah!” Kanami screamed and plunged a hand down to stop the prince from screaming.

“Don't worry. I'm only here to kill you.”

For some reason that didn't calm the prince down as he struggled violently. He was awfully weak tough. Kanami could hardly be called strong but she still managed to easily keep him subdued.

“Umm...look maybe I don't have to kill you. Just answer me truthfully, ok?”

The prince somehow managed to nod.

“All right, so are you Crown prince Poron?”

The prince nodded.

Shit! Uh no wait this is good right? Now Kanami only needs to complete the mission.

Killing him like that would be kinda cruel tough. I mean given how cool and awesome Kanami is, the Prince might want to kiss her right? She can't really take that last wish away from him.

“Alright, I suppose I can listen to your final request, so I'm going to remove my hand now, but don't scream alright? Otherwise I kill you right away.”

Kanami slowly removed her hand and took the cotton out of her ears “Good. Now speak”

“Umm..why are you wearing a clothespin on your nose? And what's with the cotton?”

And just with that Kanami started to blush again.

She appeared in front of a prince with a clothespin on her nose! How embarrassing!

“T-thats just...”, she stammered while quickly removing the silly thing. That of course produced a sneeze right away.

“Are you really here to kill me?”, asked the prince, followed by a giggle.

“Don't laugh acho! I'm a professional Ninja acho! This is just! Acho! Acho!” Oh, this is just awful! She wanted to show this prince how cool and collected she was while murdering him and now she made a complete fool out of herself!

“But why are you trying to assassinate me?”, asked the curious prince.

“Well...”, Kanami started while pinching her nose shut. “I shouldn't give client information away like this, but you will be death soon anyway, so very well. The Queen wants you death.”

“Ah, I expected as much”, he said, with resignation in his voice.

“You seem to take this quite well.”

“This isn't the first time. I'm in the way of my half brother Pitten. My stepmother wants to remove me so that he can ascend the throne. He will make a better king anyway, so I suppose I'm ready.” The prince explained with a sad smile. “Can you do it painless?”, he said while closing his eyes.

Kanami started to sniffle. “W-whaaaaa!”

“H-hey? Why are you crying?”

“B-because!” Kanami said between sobs. “This is awful! You shouldn't have to life such an awful life in constant fear! This is so sad! Waaaaaahhh!”

“Hey, Hey!” Poron got flustered. “Just stop crying, alright?”

“Gyaaahhh!” Kanami cried out and shuddered. “Don't say sto....that word!”

Poron was understandably completely confused. “You mean stop.”

“Waaarghh!” Kanami lost her balance and collapsed on top of Poron, much to his surprise.

“What was that?” Loud voices where heard outside the door. “Is there an intruder inside the Crown Prince's chamber?”

“Gyaaahhh!”

Kanami panted heavily, as she stared at the shocked prince. She really need to do it. If she doesn't do it all will be for nothing. She raised her hand and slammed it down.
