Assassinated The Prince

[Quill-POV]

"Quick there they are. Capture them," someone shouted. We were currently running from a group of bounty hunters, we were very tired and bruised up, one months of hiding and fighting has made us sleep deprived as well as anxious, though I don't regret what I did, I feel tormented that I dragged my brothers into the mess.

We five brothers were all orphans, brought together through various circumstance, we formed an assassination group. We were known to the world as 'The Sinners'. We took missions to kill people we deemed should be killed.

As we used to be orphans, we used to support an orphanage home, that was in the kingdom. There was a young caretaker there named Garcia I was deeply in love with her, though she was a beauty that was not attracted me towards her. What attracted me towards her was her kind behaviour towards others, in this cruel world there were very few people who could show such a pure and kind smile to anyone.

I wanted to propose her and marry her, but being an assassin, my life was always in the danger zone, I didn't want to put her life in danger by marrying me. I would talk to her and promised myself that I would protect her from danger.

But regrettably I couldn't protect her. The prince of the kingdom famous for her debauchery and sadistic personality was known to force girls regardless if they were common girl, noble women, married or unmarried, no one was safe from him. Once when he was returning from the brothel, when he saw Garcia, lust had taken over him. He ordered his personal guard to ask her to spend a night with him.

Garcia respectfully denied any advances towards her. He wasn't disheartened and went away without causing much trouble, few days later Garcia was arrested by guards saying that she had stolen some valuables of some nobles, what was even more regrettable as that we were on a mission outside the kingdom. The prince forcefully raped her; he then asked his personal guard to kill her.

We had just returned from the mission at that time, when we came to know the information, my heart skipped a beat. I quickly rushed towards the palace, with my four brothers behind me.

The guard was about to quickly behead Garcia when I quickly killed the guard and rescued her. I was beyond angered seeing her condition. She was currently naked, with bruises all over her body, I quickly covered her body with my own top. What was even more deplorable was that she had lost her will to live.

I swore revenge on the prince. We sent a letter to the prince, stating that we would kill him in half a months' time, though as assassins this was the poorest move you could make, I didn't care, I wanted his to feel the fear, the awaiting death, though I wasn't a sadistic man who took pleasure in someone else's misery. I always wanted the scums such as the prince to feel the fear.

I wanted to do the mission alone, but my brothers didn't let me, they didn't want to be left out, I could only sigh, though I regret it now. We killed some of the guards and took their position in the prince's personal guards, what even the prince didn't know was that the guard who delivered the letter was me, it was immensely pleasurable seeing his horrified and ugly face.

I all week long saw him not eating food afraid if it was poisoned as we mentioned in the letter, he didn't go to sleep thinking that he would never wake up.

I went in with a tray of food, on the day we decided to kill him. Deprived of sleep and constantly under pressure had caused him to have mood swings,

"Didn't I say that I don't want food," he hollered.

"You would die either way," I said.

He was dumbstruck, he couldn't move, he wanted to move but terrified he couldn't, he wanted to shout but no voice came out, he couldn't even breathe.

"Oh. You don't have to worry, you won't die so soon, after all I have to reward you," I said smiling.

Prince's face looked as if he had seen a devil.

All my brothers came and tied him up on a chair. He struggled to take off his binding but in vain.

I started with his nails tearing all of them from his fingers. He screamed.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

"You don't have to shout, no sound travels out of this room, you should know about it after all this is your room," Third brother said.

We started from his limbs cutting them in pieces until all the limbs were minced meat, he couldn't cry anymore, he had fallen unconscious a lot of time due to the pain, but we didn't let him.

When we were sure that he had learnt his lesson, we sliced his head right off the remaining body.

We left a note for the king who was known to be equally tyrannical, which was written on the wall of the room, with the prince's blood, "Sinners will be punished, in hell and even on land."

When the king saw the sentence on the room, he was more angered that someone dared challenge him, than someone killed his son, he put a bounty on our head, which gathered a lot of bounty hunters, and currently we were on the run, for the same thing.

And that is why we were currently being chased by a hundred or so bounty hunters.

"Let's go towards that cave, it is well hidden."

There was a cave up east, which was dark and covered up with bushes and vined, and we had discovered it when we had once visited the forest. We five brothers and Garcia went towards the cave, but things didn't go as planned, I, being the last one to enter was seen by a bounty hunter entering the cave.

"They entered a cave." Someone shouted.

'shit'
