Love-Dazed

Prologue

I am a merciless assassin. I kill for pleasure. I have killed countless of men and women alike. But, how come I can't kill these people in front me right now?

When I received the mission, I was more than willing to do it right away. But how come the more I get to know you, the more I see you and the more I hear your voice, the harder it was for me to do it?

"The king is escaping with his sons! What are you doing, Agent 7?!"

My boss's voice roared through my in ear. I could feel his frustrations.

I nervously gripped unto my gun tightly, slowly reaching for its trigger. My hands started to get sweaty, it is trembling in a tremendous manner. I could feel it vibrate fastly and continuously.

And then, at that time, tears started to flow. How? How can I kill them?

"Agent 7! Answer me this instant!"

Tears started to flow my eyes. I knew this day would come. I tried to hard to prepare for it but...

I continued to sob. "I...I can't..Sir, I..can't pull the trigger.."

The leader cuss loudly. "For fuck's sake! Agent 6, you do it. Pull the trigger on your location."

My eyes widen. No! No please... I don't know what will happen to me if they die. "Hold your positions, Agent 6! I'll do it." I shouted.

"Just stay there, Agent 7! The Royal Knights are already on their way."

"Shit.." I cussed under my breath. I hurriedly removed my ear piece, ran towards their direction.

please, please be safe

But, at that moment, a loud sound soared through the hall that it made my heart jump. From my 12 years of experience of being an assassin, it was the first time I got scared over the sound of a trigger being pulled.

"Eve?"

My heart leaped hearing his ever cheerful voice. I looked back and saw his captivating smile.

But at that moment, just when I knew that I made it in time, I realized,

I was too late.

Blood was dripping down on his chest and lips, yet his smile, oh, the smile that captivated me, never left his face. His smile matched the smile on his eyes. But, how come tears are shredding down your eyes?

My weakness. Your tears. You must have held it in. I'm sorry...I'm...

My mouth opened, but never uttered a word. My throat was dry and full. There were a thousand words I wanted to say, but my mouth could never utter them.

And from there, I heard six other gunshots. I looked around and in circles, they all fell, surrounding me in the center of the hall.

Seeing their lifeless body, I knew then, that I wouldn't be able to see them smile, hear their voices and watch them have fun and laugh.

Agent 7, mission succeeded in killing the 7 princes

Princess Eve of the Canaria Royal Kingdom, you failed at protecting the men you love.
