assassin

I clean up after the royal family. I live in the servant's quarters on the ground floor of the castle. My wages are paid in food and shelter.
Oh my! What are you doing here? Shhh! Keep quiet and I won't hurt you. Hurt me? Why would you hurt me?  Tell me why you are here or I will scream! I am here to remove the king. From existence. Now keep quiet. I have to take out this guard, but I don't want to do it lethally. GUARD! Alright, then, here we go! *goes for guard first* No! He is a good king and I am a loyal subject! I can't let you do this! Get off of me! Do you want to die for him? If that is what it takes to stop you then I will gladly give my life for my king and country! That does it! Nobody touches my steel! Then maybe I should return your steel to you .. point first! You think you can take on a trained assassin?! Your weak blows are easily blocked.
