Reporting - Riana

I am blank, clear of any thoughts except for the task at hand. I sit at the desk and open my report book. I create a new heading, small yet one of the most important documents that I will need for the success of this mission.

Walter's Schedule

To you it may seem simple, not even worth the hassle but it allows me to track his every move. His every footstep. His every breath. No matter where he is I'll know, no matter what he does I'll know.

A knock at the door brings me out of my concentration. An inconvenience that will be later, payee for. I stand up straight and shut my journal, slipping it under my pillow. I brush off my skirt and make to open the door. Agnes stands at the entrance.

"Riana, where were you today?"

"My mistress, I was assisting Walter in his new role as king. There were some documents he needed to sign." My voice remains calm even though she should strike fear into my heart.

"Never mind that now. You must prepare. The King requires your presence at a meeting. I don't know why he gets you as you're my assistant but hey, the king gets what he wants when he wants, right? I will send a few maids in a minute to dress you. For now, carry on with whatever business you were doing."

I curtsy just as she slams the door into my face. I flinch as it the it hits my nose. Warm blood streams from my nostrils and I can feel it's salty taste on my tongue. I walk into the bathroom and wash it off. The opportunity my mistress has presented me with will help me with my task. For a moment though, I feel something more than the desire to complete my task, I feel the excitement that young Nina once had. But I push it away. I am Riana now, Nina no longer exists. She died that night she went to the dungeon. Now all that was left was simple Riana. Riana, who had only one task. Kidnap Walter.
