The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Aiden had gotten back from the pub and was now in the castle currently checking that everything was going to be ready when he knocks on his door.

*Knock*

*Knock*

*Knock*

Hearing those, he quickly went to open the door, still making that the person on the other side of it wasn't an enemy of his.

However, he was shocked when he saw who was on the other side of the door. It was the king in the flesh and blood who had come to talk to him, but what the hell did he want to talk about?

After opening the door, the king entered making himself comfortable by sitting on the couch which was in the middle of his room.

He started by looking Aiden in his eyes for about five seconds and then he started talking, "Did you hear about the death of Oliver?"

Aiden thought a bit before answering the king, 'Should I tell the truth? Would he believe me?'

But then he had to answer or else it would seem suspicious, not talking for a second or two. After all, hesitation could have been felt if he waited too much. Not having too much time, he went with his instinct which was to lie to the king.

"Yeah, I heard that it was horrible," said Aiden deciding to play the innocent not wanting to deal with the king since he needed to join the girl from the pub soon.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it was," said the king not saying much afterward.

"Was that all? Did you come all this way, just to tell me this?" asked Aiden when he noticed that the king wasn't going to say anything else.

"Aiden, I'm not sure if you know but people saw you on the scene of the crime a few testimonies saw you over his body at one point."

'Fuck' thought Aiden, it was the only word he could think of. 'Why didn't I tell him the truth at the start? How can I tell him the truth now?'

"Oh really now."

"Yes, many people saw you, do you have anything to say about that?"

Hearing that he was sure of his sources, Aiden realized that he needed the truth or else he would be stuck here for a long time.

"To tell you the truth, I was there and to be honest it was me who killed him," said Aiden revealing everything.

"Why? Why did you kill him, I told you I needed you to defeat the Upsilon Empire, why would you do such a thing, why would you betray me," the king said, emotions taking over him as anger could be felt in his words, the calm demeanor from earlier had left.

"Please, listen to what I have to say, you'll see, I had a really good reason to kill him you'll even be happy that I killed him," said Aiden, who was going to explain to the king why he had killed Oliver.

"Go ahead, I'm listening," said the king calming down, realizing that maybe Aiden had good reasons to kill him.

After all, the king had always trusted Aiden, his assassin, when he heard the news that Aiden might have killed Oliver he was shocked and he didn't understand why he would've done such a thing.

"The reason that I killed Oliver is because he's an assassin," said Aiden, waiting to see the king's reaction.

But there wasn't any reaction from the king, he didn't move one inch, and no words were coming out of his mouth. It was like he had just heard something that shocked him to his core.

Aiden noticing that the king wouldn't talk or move decided to continue with his explanations, "When you gave me your mission, I decided to go and get some information at the pub which is when I was approached by a woman who had followed me..." said Aiden, as he continued explaining everything that had happened which had caused his death.

After Aiden explained everything, the king still wasn't moving, he was shocked in seemed. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑐𝑜𝘮

But, when Aiden thought that the king was frozen, he opened his mouth, "How was he a spy, I raised him here since he was ten, and he even told me that he was abandoned. Was our relationship just a lie?"

It seemed the king was rambling by himself not remembering that Aiden was right beside him.

Realizing that Aiden was listening to what he was saying, he apologized for rambling about some distant memories.

But what he had just heard from Aiden, completely shocked him. How was Oliver a spy, he was a little boy who came to the Empire and had been raised here.

Not wanting Aiden to see him like this, he decided to leave the room and leave him to whatever he was preparing to do.

After the king left, Aiden realized that it was 8 pm and that the girl was probably waiting for him, so he decided to hurry up not wanting to waste any more time here because he only had a week to kill the three other generals.

Five minutes later, he arrived at the pub, and the same girl as earlier was there, with her two melons also present.

They were so big that they could also probably count as a person.

"Oh you're here," said the girl as she noticed Aiden entering.

"Are you ready?" continued the girl.

"Yeah, sure but before we go, didn't you say that you wanted to talk about payment," said Aiden, worrying about what she was going to say since he didn't have any money to give her.

"That's fine, we'll talk about it when we arrive there, after all, I won't have money if I die," said the girl, clearly indicating that this would be a dangerous ride with many risks.

"Yeah, I guess you're right about that one," said Aiden, laughing a little bit.

"Follow me, I'll show you with what we will travel. Oh, and by the way my name's Mia," said Mia, as she stood up from her table leaving the pub.

"Right, I'm Aiden," said Aiden as he started following right behind Mia.

A few minutes later, Aiden couldn't believe that they were actually going to go to the Upsilon Empire in this...
