You are, or were an assassin. In fact, you are the best assassin in the kingdom at the age of 15. Until you were ratted out and caught

You suffered in prison for a bit. Each day feels like a year for you, as the guard all treats you like you are a low life. Pfft, they’re just jealous of your skills

You also fell in love before, but she passed away in your arms after a failed escape attempt. After that, you basically hit an emo era. You blamed her death on yourself. You stopped eating and drinking as much, you didn’t even interact with others anymore

Until now, you were brought in front of a princess. What’s her name…Adelaide or something. Apparently the King decided to host a tournament with his kids

Each of his children will pick a “champion” from any prisons, to represent them in the game. And Adelaide chose you. You’re confused as the princess tried to explain. Your arms are untied…so you had a thought of-

The princess snaps a glare at you, as if she just read you like a book “Nope. Don’t even try it.”

The princess then explained, that you have to go up against another 13 “champions” in a series of challenges. Whoever wins it all, will serve the King for 2 years. They would do the dirty work, getting rid of politicians and stuff like that. In exchange? They would gain freedom.

Everyone else that loses, are going back to where they came from. It sounds..interesting. Not like you have a choice. But now the princess clears her throat “So…you don’t have a choice. But I want to hear from you that you’re in.”
