"Jan!"

"Oh, it's you", I turned my back on Lubbock trying to hide my face.

"What's wrong? I've been waiting here every afternoon for you but you never came. Is something bothering you? I mean ... You always come and meet up with me around this time."

"Nothing's wrong, I'm afraid .... we won't be able to meet up anymore", I spoke with an emotionless voice trying not to show the sadness inside.

"Huh! Why is that?" He asked placing his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm too busy at work, there are people there from the revolutionary army. I find out more than one of them everyday. I know what you're thinking, "What do I do with them when I do catch them?" Well, that's easy ... I eliminate them from the human population", I answered.

"But, you can't just keep killing people wherever you go. Even if they're from the Revolutionary Army!"

"So what if I do? They're just a bunch of humans that went against the law. Obviously I would kill them so they wouldn't commit anymore crime. Why are you even complaining? Are you with the Revolutionary Army ... or are you working with them as Night Raid?" My voice turned demolish now that I suspected a friend of mine that I have always shared my knowledge and feeling with as an enemy of mine.

The Next Day

"Thank you for coming, Jan. I'm sure you are well aware that the queen of Millennia has currently died due to a certain illness. I would like you to go there and take her place. You will be going there in 6 months. I hope this will be enough time for you to ..."

"And what will I do there? Me? Take over as a Queen? What are you thinking?" I interrupted Honest.

"You have no choice but to do as you're told. We have to make sacrifices once in a while. Make a mistake over there, and you'll find out the punishments they give to those who are not worthy. You are dismissed."

I walked out thinking hard about everything that happens there. Rumour has it, they kill those who are not worthy. I'm not afraid of being killed there. I'm afraid of the rules they have. I don't want to go, I'll become insane! A life with fancy dresses and pointy shoes. No privacy. I can't live with myself. If they won't let me bring my Imperial Arm, I'll die for sure.

I walked into the garden seeing two men whispering to each other at the end of the hallway nearby. I closed my eyes and pointed my sword at them. I opened my eyes seeing they were both covered in red. I dashed at them with full speed and swung my sword through one of their hearts. I held the other guy up by his neck and smiled,"do me a little favour will you? Tell your Boss, Najenda, that 'I want to challenge her. I will put an end to the Revolutionary Army once and for all. Your life including Night Raid's is in my hands.' Got that?" I tilted my head staring at his frightened face waiting for an answer. He nodded still trembling with fear, I let him go making him fall to the ground. He slowly caught his breath and ran away. "Ha! Jerk! He better get that message delivered though! If I defeat Najenda ... Maybe, just maybe .... I can avoid being queen!"

The Next Few Days

"Huh, what's this?" I knelt down and picked up the letter that slipped under my door. "Maybe another person to kill?" I opened the letter and read it making me forge a smile. "Get ready Najenda, it'll be fun to play with your corpse afterwards. I look forward for our battle tomorrow", I smirked.
