Love of the Empress 2: King and Queen

Killer Pay

The Main Barracks King Daffa..

"Your Majesty the King, there is a messenger coming from the queen Tasya's residence" Eunuch Jung reported to the Daffa king who was preparing to tidy up his combat uniform.

His plan today they will leave for the next nearest city. Daffa was quite proud of the results of his battles over the past few months. Because he had succeeded in repelling the warrior king Elfran and there were a total of 13 cities in the kingdom of Goluth that he had managed to occupy.

"Bring him here!" King Daffa gave his edict.

"Okay, Lord King!"

Eunuch Jung immediately came out of the main barracks where King Daffa rested, and then came back. This time he entered with a simple-looking man.

"What news do you bring?" Ask the king from where he is sitting.

The messenger stood with his head bowed before the king. Only after being asked did he finally take out a paper scroll that became his main mission from the trip he had just passed.

"One entrusts this to His Majesty the King" said the envoy, handing the scroll over to Daffa.

Without giving a pause again, the king immediately opened the scroll which was still sealed neatly with a variety of distinctive knots from the queen. It was Tasya's attempt to keep his letter from being hijacked or read by others before it reached the king's hands.

Seeing the knot, Daffa was pounded back by his feelings of longing for the wife.

'Tasya, Dear. It has been a long time since I was separated from you.' Inner Daffa muttered his unrest.

Daffa then read the writing contained in the letter. And a smile soon rose from the face of the ruler of Nevarest.

"Thank God, Queen Charrine and her daughter have been found. That way, Da can proceed to his next plan. Eunuch Jung!"

Daffa then immediately burned the letter from the queen with a candle flame in the barracks. Then he summoned Kasim who had helped him during this time of war.

"Hamba, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Jung immediately presented himself before the king of Daffa.

"Call all the generals to gather here. There are new developments happening!" Daffa also delivered his word.

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Jung returned to the barracks to fulfill the king's orders. Leaving the Daffa king alone with Queen Tasya's emissary.

"How's the Queen doing? In his letters, he never explained about his condition as well as the palace," asked King Daffa to the messenger before him.

"Your Majesty the Queen is in fine condition, Your Majesty. While the palace is having a little upheaval," said the messenger.

"What's going on?"

"There is a discourse to replace prime minister Ali with Alul Lazam. So there was a debate going on in the palace," the messenger said.

"Hmm. that guy again. Besides, is there anything else?" Ask Daffa back.

"There, Your Majesty. But I beg your Majesty's permission to deliver it directly to His Majesty's ears" the envoy asked for permission.

"Yes. Come closer!"

The messenger then approached the king of Daffa to whisper something into his ear. What happened next surprised the king. Because suddenly the messenger took out a knife from behind his pants pocket.

Luckily, Daffa was sprightly and managed to dodge when the messenger was about to stab his chest.

Immediately after, the messenger whistled. And he turned into a flying dust cloud. The dust then shot out of the tent and disappeared somewhere.

Outside the tent, shouts "there's an intruder!" Echoed the entire army camp. While the generals who had been tinotified by Eunuch Jung immediately went to the main barracks where the king of Daffa was located.

The first person to find the king lying unconscious on the ground was a guard soldier. He saw the color of the king's skin had turned pale purplish. A sign that the king of Daffa had been poisoned in the recent attack.

Meanwhile at Goluth's palace two hours after his..

"Hows it? Did you manage to do that?" Asked King Elfran on the plain folk-clothed figure before him.

"Hamba succeeded, Your Majesty the King! Even though I can only leave a scratch on the arm of the Daffa king, but with the poison I put on the dagger, I can make sure the current Daffa King is definitely dying," said the servant who turned out to be the one who had disguised himself as the messenger of queen Tasya and attacked the king of Daffa in his barracks.

"How strong is the poison for humans?" Elfran was not satisfied.

"Very strong, Your Majesty. So far no one has survived more than three days after being exposed to the poison. It was the deadliest venomous snake ever," the man said.

"Three days? Then he can still survive, right?" King Elfran was visibly upset by the fact.

"Maybe. But so far no one has been able to neutralize the venom from the snake.His Majesty!" The man tried to convince the success of his mission to Elfran.

"Well, may your words come true" Sindir the king who looks dissatisfied with the performance of the assassin before him.

The assassin was feeling a little annoyed by King Elfran's attitude towards him. He waited for some time. Thinking if the king will immediately give wages for the results of his work. King Elfran expelled him later.

"Go! Don't show up in front of Da again, before Da hears the news of that person's death!" And banish the king suddenly.

"What about the wages of the servant, Your Majesty?" Ask the hit man.

"You still dare to ask for a wage? Get lost! Or make you scramble for as long as it's!" Threaten the king of Elfran with a lazy attitude from the top of his throne.

The killer was furious. Just as he looked like he was about to turn around, he suddenly threw a poisonous dagger at King Elfran. Next he whistled and turned himself into a wisp of dust again.

Unfortunately, the killer did not see, when the king of Elfran swiftly turned into a thickened black liquid. Moreover, when the black liquid then shot flying towards the dust of the killer.

Spontaneous only the dust is directly entangled in the liquid. Until the whole dust is successfully scooped and caged by black liquid.

The struggle between the two substances lasted not too long. Starting from mid-air, until both fall plunged to the floor.

The servants of king Elfran who stood at the side of the wall looked in horror at the struggle of two substances in the middle of the hall. No one dared to approach the two substances while the thick black liquid belonging to king Elfran was twitching ***** dust of the assassin.

About five minutes later the fight was over. By being won by the black liquid which then turned back into the king of Elfran.

The king's appearance looked a little messy. But he doesn't care about it. With a definite step the king returned to his throne. Satisfaction was evident from the king's eyes.

The king's servants who had been spectators then looked puzzledly at the floor where the struggle was taking place. But they did not find any dust residue even though it was there.

I don't know what happened to the hit man. But when viewed from the satisfaction in the eyes of the king, almost all agreed. If the disappearance of the hitman was certainly caused by the work of king Elfran himself.
