This can't be real. You've read the papers over and over again, but it's still there, in your hands. You aren't dreaming or hallucinating in any sort of way.

Someone wants the Empress dead, and you've been chosen to do kill her.

In all your years of being a bounty hunter, you have never gotten a request so bold, so outlandish, so... exciting. Getting near the castle is hard enough, so how on earth are you going to get to close enough to the Empress to be able to deal the final blow?

And to make it even harder, she's pregnant! So not only will you be killing her, but her unborn child as well. Emperor Heinrey will most likely be by her side even more now, so you have another thing to worry about.

But money's money, right? Whoever send you this task is willing to pay so much, surely you can't just let this slip under your nose.

This might just be your best and last hunt yet.
