While hanging his bow on his shoulders, he looked over her. The lady was even more beautiful up close. “Queen, Huh….” He thought as his eyes looked over her head to toe. He could tell by her clothes she was some type of royalty, but a queen, he wouldn’t have guessed that. Looking behind him, he saw the bodies lining the street a ways away. “Your a queen. You shouldn’t trust anyone. Someone always wants your head.” He said with a smirk as remembering the king he assassinated over a hundred years ago.
With her comment about his soul, the man laughed a bit. “I am no hero, love.” He would always be the one who killed heroes, even those who weren't. Since he was a young man, he had killed many men, heroes, dukes, random men who were nothing, even Kings. He crossed his arms over his chest as he listened to her speak. “Well. I love to stay and chat—” He was caught off by the bag of money she held. “That would set me up for months..” He thought as his eyes moved slowly to her face. “For that whole bag, I will take you home to your castle, but after I finish some business at the in a few streets away.” He said nodding towards the bag.
Assuming she said yes, he motioned for her to follow him. “Let’s go. I don’t have much time.” He said as he turned around and walked off down the road. No need for stealth when he had to escort a fair maiden.
It wasn’t long before they reached the inn and it was filled with many drunks and woman giving themselves up to them. Ignoring the ruckus of the crowd, he walked to the bar. “Can I get a room?” He asked the barkeep while tossing some coins at him. The barkeep nodded handing Jax a key and said, “Fourth door towards the end of the hall, to the right.” The half elf leaned in at that moment, handing the man more coins. “The Duke. What room?” Jax asked and was pleased with his answer. “At the end of the hall to the left.” The barkeep said in a hush voice.
Pulling away, Jax turned to face the Queen. “You don’t want to hand out here all night. Never know who wants to kill you. Go to the room, I’ll meet you there.” He said while handing her the key and quickly went out the doors of the Inn. With the Duke in a corner room helped him a lot.
As soon as Jax left the inn, he made his way to the alley on the right. His eyes went straight to the window towards the end of the Inn then moved towards the other building beside it. Taking his bow off his shoulder and grabbed the thick arrow with rope tied on the end of it. Laying it on the bow, he pointed it towards the tallest point of the building and shot it. After he tugged the rope few times he climbed up towards the top. It wasn’t until he passed the Inn’s window, he peaked inside. He saw the movements on the bed. The Dukes fun time was going to end soon.
Swinging her leg over the roofs edge, he pulled himself up and then grabbed another arrow. He waited for a moment as the Duke finally got out of the bed and started to get dress. His mistress sat on the end of the bed with a smile on her face, her lips moved as she poke. “I had a great time…. You need to leave your wife..” She had said to him. The Duke didn’t finish his sentence before an arrow broke through the glass and shot him in the chest. The woman on the bed didn’t get to scream before she had a matching wound. “Bet it was the wife.” He thought as he slid down the rope. “She is going to be rich.” He said with a smirk as he landed on his feet then yanked the rope. His arrow came loose and fell. Catching the arrow he put it back into his arrow holder.
With his job done, it was on to his next one. With that he headed back into the inn and up the stairs to the room.
