Several days have passed and Drake is in his room alone, waiting the next time he gets to see his queen and these days turned to weeks of waiting and fantasizing, otherwise excessing until he became rigged with muscles building a lethal strength to brawl with lions.
His eyes lit up in excitement and felt all the hate and resentment he had built up for the queen to be fading away as she entered his room covering her breast with a gossamer piece of fabric that keeps slipping on her soft skin from the shoulder revealing more than intended every once in a while that kept Drake focus sharp and instilled on every part of her amazing being and wrapped silk piece around her waist to the knees, dragging a scarf hanging from her back attached to a silver collar, he sought a devil in an angel clothes, in amazement he kept looking as she walked toward him he was looking at her thighs through the transparent silky fabric. standing next to him, he raised his head to look at her eyes, she smiled and he was locked in her charm.
Coming with the intention to Delegate a mission for him, he was ready to do anything to have her again that earned her smile knowing he is in her hands to play with, touching his face and then holding it only to give him a soft kiss on the mouth saying that's my favorite servant, don't disappoint me. Replying by assuring her that he won't.
Drake was assigned a hit man for her majesty, his potency, and discreetness in making the kill qualified him for a head hit man that is for big targets, this one was a merchant and suspected to be a spy from another nation to know whereabout the city and its status. His name is Qu Lee, a smart short foreign guy who is very low on profile with dim features, blunt and hard-to-read expressions. Drake kept spotting and watching his habits and the people he met to identify his network and the nation he is working for; it was hard to allocate his network as a merchant he would meet a lot of new faces every day, which made it harder to confirm the suspicions or not, Qu Lee had no business or interest in the city other than selling his merchant and delegating shops to offer his products paying a rental fee. The situation stayed the same for 2 weeks but on the day 15 of the operation Drake caught him meeting a foreign guy in the narrow alleys handing him money and a message, Drake followed the foreign guy to his destination only to spot him going in the kingdom where he killed its general and left his wife widow in a distance from his target, a wave of thoughts overwhelmed Drake that immobilized him and lost him his target.
Back to the city he went and found that Qu Lee has left his spot earlier that day and what made it more interesting is that he was missing in the following week, only to be found dead outside of the city. Drake was disappointed that he got nothing good to report the queen of, he went on an impossible mission to the kingdom of Nero to find the guy he spotted with Qu in millions where if they catch him, they will make him suffer horribly for killing their beloved general.
Drake was walking in the streets wearing a grey hood to not be recognized and his long beard helped in his disguise, he sought that the guards were everywhere in the Kingdome and they were alarmed searching in people's faces to find their target, Drake noticed two guards he worked with standing on a small wooden stage observing everyone passing. He gave a quick look; the two guards' eyes were on him passing by and they started following him. going into the main streets helped him to lose the guards and mingled with the crowd and later changed his hood to a dark brown that was customary of a mystic in the city to escape suspicion, Drake was thinking about where he can possibly find that man and he thought to search in the markets and The street of Avelor, where all rich merchants and jewelry houses are, but going in that street was impossible because it was loaded with guards so he took the roofs and started watching the coming and going. Two weeks passed and there was no trail for this guy nor any helpful information to lead him Drake lost hope and decided to leave this mission behind him going back to the queen empty-handed, he noticed that the guards were closing the city doors and heard from the commoners sitting by the road that the city is on lockdown nobody can get in or out.
Drake took his measures and stayed low thinking they were searching for him but in fact, there was a raid of spies in the city that later Drake found to be the servants of the queen she had sent at least hundreds of them, and most of them were caught and their heads were sitting on the walls of the Kingdome, it looked terrifying.
One week away from the lockdown the gates were open and city movement was regular again after the streets were empty and patrols of guards swiped the whole city, Drake waited three days before he left the city with the message that Qu Lee handed to the foreign guy.
It was Drake's intention to leave on day 2 from the gates opening but he spotted his target by mere coincidence in the market and started following him to arrive at an alley where he was taking a piss, Drake snuck behind him putting a knife to his throat and covering his mouth "Don't try to move" Drake said.
He started integrating him about Qu Lee's death and what type of message did he hand him and to whom?
It required Drake to put a knife in that guy's left leg to speak up, following a knife that was going down from his neck to his other leg Drake asked him about the whereabouts of the message stopping at his leg, he got it out of his pocket and it was an order of supplies, not a message but it looked like the message he spotted.
Drake wasn't convinced and gave his other leg a stab and asked again about the real message, screaming he said "it's not with me I gave it to another guy and I don't know where is it, I swear on king Nimbard name" these were his last words before his throat was cut open.
Drake has lost his horse but he bought another one with the money he got working there as a smith assistant helping the master Blake who admired his work and rewarded him generously with a bag of money, riding to his city looking back on one thing he wanted to do but was afraid of, that is to see his wife Kate for one last time. He hurried to kick the horse fearing that he would change his mind and go to see her.
To the city he arrived, he stood in front of the castle and nobody recognized him because of his long beard, he said it's me, Drake, to which they responded: "fuck off or you will be dead".
He named The guy who brought him to the castle for the first time and told them to ask him, one guard went to check in and there was Hogh ordering the guard to open the door for him entering the venue he sought the queen in black far away standing on the palace entrance plateau, He dismounted from his horse and marched toward her taking a kneel near her he got kicked in the face and left to the ground, the guards dragged him to his room and locked it and starved him for two days, Drake was devastated and lost all means to clarify his situation. He wanted to see the queen to explain but that wasn't going to happen...
Drake was brought to the queen after 1 week to explain his situation or he will be left to rotten in the 4 walls so called his room or jail, Drake couldn't distinguish.
