Sable pondered the words given to her and closed her eyes. This girl…was really starting to annoy her. It figures that the “benevolent” princess of Crescentia was nothing more than a spoiled brat. Power had corrupted her, and Sable sought to end that power with her blade. Opening her eyes, she stared down Titania in preparation for her answer.

“You are right in assuming my lack of purpose in this world,” Sable said slowly. “However, I have to disagree on some points with you, your Highness. You say no one wants me? That’s rather presumptuous of you, don’t you think?”

The assassin directed her gaze towards the ground before saying, “If anything, I have more of a right to live than a deluded rat like you. The fact that I still have people who rely on me is something you could never understand, seeing as everyone in this very castle wants you dead.”

She looked up now with those same cold eyes.

“Especially me.”

[i] “So, pick your poison, girl. Or have you already forgotten what they are? I wouldn’t be surprised, considering your primitive line of work.”[/i]

“I will not give you any information of the sort,” Sable answered threateningly. “I would rather be tortured than to give up on the one person that still relies on me. So go ahead and break my body, my mind if you must. It’s nothing I haven’t experienced before.”

A pause.

“Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised of your lack of empathy or understanding for the current situation, considering your treacherous line of work,” Sable echoed. “I don’t expect a royal like you to understand pain and loss that normal people experience every day.”

Her answer given, Sable closed her eyes and allowed her mind to wander. It would take some time, but she [i]would[/i] kill Titania and she [i]would[/i] liberate this nation of her tyranny. It would take some time and patience, but she would fulfill her mission. She had to. Lest….

[i]Lexi. Please wait a little longer…[/i]
