Raven looked at him wanting for him to respond but when he finally asked she froze a bit for this was the second time he asked basically and this time she really did not want to keep lying to him anymore but her fear was he was not going to believe her that is was his brother that hired her. She looked around and took his hand and lead him away from the gazebo and waving for Hildebrand to follow them also. She led them both to a forestry area near the garden and walked through it. Hidebrand was wondering why she was taking them someplace far from the palace all of a sudden and had his hand on his sword ready to defend his majesty at all times.

Once in a clearing she sighed and turned to them. “I am sorry the palace has ears everywhere and I do not want them to hear what I have to say.” Raven said and stayed across from him not sure how he was going to react.

“use so you know Eliezer. Do truly love you with all my heart but the truth about the ball that night.......I.....I was hired to assassinate you and after seeing how you acted my plan was to gain your trust so I used that so call attacked from those mediocre assassins to start to get you out of the palace at least you were not suppose to come home from our first date in the village.” Raven admitted to him and Hidebrand looked shocked and got in front of Eliezer and pointed his sword at her but she did not flinch or even try to defend herself.

“I bet this is still a trick to kill him you are just playing games.” Hidebrand said to her mad.

“Please hear me out I have been set on revenge for so long after the king of this kingdom sent his army to my home village in the forest and slaughtered innocent people including my parents I vowed for revenge on the royal family the one that hired me promised me to get close to the king so I can finally kill him and end his bloodshed.” Raven explained to him. “You should know that feeling Hidebrand my brother who you know as NightOwl told me what happen to your older brother how he was slaughtered during the raid on the way to Solen unfortunately I only sent him and no one else.” Raven explained.

“But during that day out with Eliezer I admit he did remind me of my father but the more I spent time with him after that I started to fall for him not because he is like my father because he is Eliezer a sweet, kind, charming, and also someone who stole my heart so I turned my back on my employer but he threaten the orphans so while Eliezer was gone I sent the children to another kingdom to keep them safe that way he could not keep trying to control me and I could focus on protecting him for he will not stop until Eliezer is dead.” Raven explained to them while the sword was still pointed at her not budging one bit from where she was standing.

“Then you will not mind telling us who hired you in the first place.” He siad to her and she looked at them.

“I am not sure if you will believe me but...........It was Prince Mathazar that hired me he did it so he can be the sole heir to the throne.” Raven said looking away not sure what else to say or do now.

“You are expect us to believe that the princes own brother would I should strike you down now you are the enemy.” He said and tears soon fell frown her face.

“Then strike me down now and kill me then maybe I can be reunited with my parents then.” She said as she went to her knees on the ground and took out her hidden dagger and threw it to the side. “Do it I won’t stop you.” She said with her head down and more tears falling. “What’s the point of living if I will just end back up in my dark world of revenge for if I were to kill the king I was only going to kill my self in for I had nothing to live for all honesty.” She said crying. “I love Eliezer with my whole heart enough where even though i hate the king still I have no desire to take me revenge for I became happy again but if that is to end then strike me down.” She said as she sobbed waiting for Hidebrand to end her life.
