“Oh. Well, no deal then.”
“Y-y-you can do it yourself, if you like! It’s fine! Do whatever you want! I’m sure Prince Nathaniel would appreciate that kind of can-do attitude!”
Geoffrey thought a moment. “By chance, did you ask anyone else to do this before me?”
“Uh, y-yeah, I did. But they refused. So I came all the way out here to Brighton, because I heard of the Rofal family’s reputation--and might I just say, you have lived up to it most admirably. You certainly have. Why, I’m sure you’re a much better person for the job, anyway. I don’t know why I didn’t come to you first, in fact. How silly--”
“Please stop talking.”
The man just nodded.
Geoffrey frowned. “I suppose I should not kill you, then. My dear uncle said it was bad business to kill your employer, unless you wanted their job, and I certainly do not want yours.” He released the red shadow and used it to prop the advisor up on his feet. “When do you want me to do it?”
The man hesitated. “You don’t want to know why he wants her dead?”
“Not really, no. When do I kill her?”
“Ah--as soon as possible. Preferably before her press conference two days from now.”
Geoffrey just grinned.
“W-we tried to kill her before, you see, but we failed, and now Prince Nathaniel is worried, um, that-that she is going to expose him, so--”
“Yeah, whatever. Do I only get to kill the Queen, or can I kill some of the other royals, too?”
The man’s eyes bulged. “J-just the Queen, please...”
“Oh, very well.”

*sighs* he learned nothing from his encounter with those stronger than himself.
ReplyDeleteOh well, at least it will be interesting to see Geoffrey and Hector face off again.
I hope the girl survives. The royal guard one, I mean.
Haha. Geoffrey's kind of stupid, yeah. But that also makes him dangerous, 'cuz you never can tell what he'll do next.
DeleteAnd we shall see.
Just started reading your story yesterday and it has proven very interesting. I will definitely continue reading.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have you.
DeleteAnother chapter after a wait and the more it has drawn me in. I wonder how Hector will fare against Geoffrey this time around...
ReplyDeleteMaybe they'll settle their differences with a really intense staring contest.
Deletethat would be rathe anti-climatic which i doubt you would do lol
DeleteHmm. Maybe a game of Jenga, then.
DeleteI laughed entirely too hard at this
ReplyDeleteGuess I was wrong. That dude is lucky to escape Geoffrey only minus his eyebrows lol.
ReplyDeleteGeoffrey is really just ax-crazy in tge truest sense of the term huh? Gets a job to kill Queen and thinks nothing of it. Even though he just had his ass handed to him by the "Mafia Council". Smh Vincent will be most displeased.
You have lived up * to* it, little typo there
ReplyDeleteGot it, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my eyes open
ReplyDeleteSeems pretty predictable to me. Lash out violently at anything that annoys him, or out of sheer boredom. Might let you live if you're interesting enough, but that might just make him want to dissect you anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's basically just a good call to stay away from him if you value your life.
Hahaha. Oh man, I think I would actually enjoy that, but it would be a pretty trollish move on your part for most of your readers.
ReplyDelete... Incoming round 2???
