Meanwhile in the city a darkly tattered cloaked female with a set of shortswords that looks to be made from broken longswords on her back is walking down the street of Marron she looks at both sides of the street looking at the people and children enjoying the day but the cloaked female keeps calm and looks up at a tavern then see six men coming out fighting among each other but keeps calm not getting involved with them. She then goes in keeping to herself seeing the rustic interior of the place looking around til she stops at a table of a mysterious male with a pale complexion dressed in all black,red as blood eyes,dark as night hair pointed ears sorta like a elf sipping on a crimson drink until he notice the woman like figure cloaked in black

"About time" the man says "come on sit" he says and the cloaked female sits calm looking at him taking another sip of his red drink "so i have some info on your uh job" he says sliding a paper to her and she takes it and looks at it seeing instructions and possibilities then slides over two kits one includes vials, chemicals, and other equipment necessary for the creation of poisons and another cosmetics, hair dye, and small props "the supplies you need once your in its your choice how you kill him"the man says finishing his drinks "oh and i been told if you have to kill whoever gets in your way no witnesses got it?" He says and the cloaked female nods getting up from her seat "this goes off without a hitch then you will be freed get caught and you will be of no use of him" he says but the girl doesent react and walks out of the tavern. Outside as she is walking away from the Tavern she can feel eyes on her but looking around she does not see the person whos watching her raising her paranoia up a bit but she walks off into the streets of the city into the market street thinking on her mission. As shes walking towrds the castle she looks at the note the pale man gave her seeing it has multiple possibilities to assassinate the king the first possibility is to mingle with the party goers and get close to the king to stab him a straight forward idea true but risky if she is found out,the other option is to sneak through the castle down to the ball room and fire a arrow into the kings heart a good option it be quicker silent but if shes caught before it be all over and if seen after then it be all for nothing,finally the last option is to poison the kings drink during the feast this is the best idea the feast ends at midnight from what the note says atleast she can poison him with a delayed poison and once the party is done he can die and it be blamed for his old age she nods and looks around the market street and finds a herbalist stand among the others and steps up

"Hello there what are you looking for this fine day?" The herbalist says in a cheery tone and the girl looks at each herb pointing at multiple herbs and as hes picking each one the herbalist looks confused and yet worried "these picks.....aren't for something malicious are they?" The man asks and the cloaked figure shakes her head no and the shopkeeper smiles "thank god probably just some pests that you been having huh?" He asks and the figure shakes her head yes keeping her calm composure and she lays down some coin for the herbs and takes them walking off. As she heads off the womanly figure gets to a dead end of a allyway to be left alone and sits crisscross on the floor getting the herbs and the kit of vials,chemicals,and other various equipment for mixing out and setting everything around her after that she pulls down her hood showing her long thick black hair,one eye a ominous green in her left and a mysterious purple,her neck where it connects to her body has stitches around her mid to early twenties. As she settles she starts to work on the poison adding in the ingrediants but starts to mess up a bit making it bubble rapidly but then a flash of some sort of memory, she then looks at her failing concoction and adds a chemical compound she has and the vial starts to calm down and she stays in her calm demeanor but a bit confused what she has seen but shakes it off,finishing her work creating a vial of dark purple liquid and she puts a topper on it putting it back in her pack safely she then puts her kit away and puts back up her hood and leaves the allyway on her way to the castle. At the castle she notice the gate being guarded by guards inside and out by the gate she thinks then slinks away to the left side of the large fence right behind the azure blades HQ and looks up at the tall looking iron bars of the fence and start to climb up easily getting up to the top,jump onto the roof she tries to be to be silent and no one below suspects her then she sees in a nearby window its a empty room with a bed,table a wardrobe and a chair she then from her pack she pulls out a set of lock picks and start to work on the windows lock easily unlocking it then goes in grabbing her tools and puts them away closing the windows. As she does she creaks open the door looking out seeing a hallway clear then sees on the other side a door saying storeroom and sneakily lurks over to it without anyone noticing her,she then sneakily goes into the storeroom and hides into the back of the room among the boxes, then looking outside looking at the sun and the orange glow of the evening sky and start to rest. In her sleep she starts to have flashes of something of a person killing off a man of sorts in the streets of a city but in a cloak similar to hers only untattered.
