Stealing kisses

"Professional Assassins?" I whispered out loud, and some of the faces inside the room turned to us. There was an awkward smile that replaced my shocked expressions. The people who had turned to look at me with their cross-eyes went back to their work slowly, and I gazed back at Fang to whisper, "Are you serious? Why would the queen let them coexist in this kingdom?" 

Fang snickered, "The Cermesi are in a pact with the king. They don't attack the king's men and are always consider the royal couple as their priority while taking an assignment."
