I DO NOT OWN THE NIGHT ANGEL TRILOGY NOR DO I OWN KYLAR STERN OF VI SOVARI
I hauled myself over the banister and crouched, I slowly walked toward the window and looked in. I quickly jerked my head away from the window, the target was currently using his bed. I stood outside spinning a throwing knife entertaining fantasies of a guard doing a random check and somehow getting onto the balcony. No that was not possible, the target would make some noise as the guard came into his bedchamber. I flicked a dagger out and used it's reflection to look inside the room, they were still going so I sighed and considered the possibilities. I had never killed an innocent before nor did I wish to. I decided to give them five more minutes before I went in and ended it for them. Two minutes went by and they were showing no sign of weariness. At exactly the five minute point I slowly opened the glass door and walked slowly in. I was not noticed as I crept forward, I took a step forward and the floorboard creaked under my weight I almost cursed but instead I stood 100% still.
"Did you hear something?" the woman asked.
"No keep going" he said hurriedly.
I took the last two steps forward and silently slipped two knives into each of the partners ribs. They both died within seconds, I heard a knock on the door and swivelled my head to see a servant cautiously opening the door.
"Master Flammen? The Duchess has arrived early.
I turned to the window and ran out the door, I kicked off the railing and executed a perfect swan dive into the icy water.
