You are labeled as the most dangerous being in the kingdom. Murder, theft, drugs, alcohol... the people see you as a threat. Even though you only do it for your own protection, they never understood that.

The one who hated you the most was Duke Xior, who you better knew as Prince, a spy. He was responsible for the majority of your arrests, and he used to be your childhood friend.

You never, ever, in all your life, expected Prince to visit your high security cell to ask you to be his partner on a mission. Nor did you ever think you'd would agree, just for a chance to leave this dingy cell, and be sitting next to him on a roof, spying on a merchant that apparently wants to assassinate the king.

You receive a sharp punch on your arm. "Stay focused, will you?" His ears twitch, and you can't help but think how the merchant seems completely normal, and that this is a waste of time that you could use to escape.
