Two Can Play At This Game

"And what makes you think that if you do not do it, someone else won't?"

Amelia was left speechless once again. It was true as Cyrena's said. There were many other assassins at her beck and call. 

All she had to do was to just give he order and it would be done. 

Still, they were not as good adls Amelia herself. 

She remained the most skilled and best assassin Cyrena had ever had under her. 

Besides, even though there were others, just which of them could match Cullen's skills. 

At the end of the day, it still boiled down to jernto do the job except Cyrena intended on dispatching more than one assassin and that itself screamed of risk and exposure if anything went wrong. 

"Okay. Then let someone else do it. I cannot do so."

"Amelia!"

"With all respect, your highness, forgive me. This order, I cannot carry out."
