Mage Assassin Page 34

  I unrolled the gilded paper and started to read it, but then my brow furrowed deeply.

  “It’s… a summons from the king,” I replied in complete confusion.

  “What?” Cinis snorted. “What could a king want with an assassin?”

  “He intends to give me a reward and the magical stave he promised to the slayer of Ignis,” I sighed. “All the glory is apparently mine.”

  “How would he even know it was you?” Cinis startled and sat up to stare at me.

  “I have no idea,” I hummed. “But it looks like I’m not the only one in the kingdom with good intel.”

  I stared down at the parchment for a long moment, but there was no unseeing the king’s own signature looping and curling at the bottom of the page. He had found me out, and now, I was to go in for a private audience with the ruler of Ocadia.

  “Well, shit,” I sighed.

  “What are you going to do?” Cinis murmured. “Pretend like they got their facts wrong?”

  I thought about my answer and then responded.

  “I can’t be sure,” I admitted. “I certainly can’t have any fanfare or parades in my honor about this. Not if the king’s identified me as belonging to this estate.”

  I sat back on the bed as I considered my options, but I couldn’t help chuckling a little.

  All over Ocadia, every member of the magical estates were arguing over who would gain the glory for this feat. They were spinning tales, insisting their leaders were superior to all the rest, and no doubt causing an uproar on the king’s behalf.

  And yet, here I was.

  The only mirror mage in the kingdom, the assassin of dragonkins and titans alike, and I had a discreet and legitimate summons from the king himself.

  Then I glanced over at the naked fire descendant beside me, and her nipples had tumbled out of the bedsheet. Her red-amber eyes were warm and dreamy, and she slowly licked a dollop of magical fruit from her finger while she watched me.

  So, I set the parchment aside, tore off my tunic, kicked off my pants, and spread the seductive woman’s legs open so I could make love to her again.

  Tonight, I had many victories to celebrate with an Ember Priestess.

  Then I’d deal with the king.
