King Mystery

I took my time examining the body, all too aware of the eyes of the Royal Guards on my back.

“It must have been an assassin sent by the Crimson Empire!”

“That’s the fifth time you’ve theorised that, Grand Vizer.”

“Well it’s true!”

I shook my head.

“Crimson Blood Vipers kill with poison, arrows and, on one occasion, a tiger. A stabbing is not at all their style.”

I felt the Royal Crotch.

“Bring me the five most attractive serving girls working in the Royal Kitchen, one of them did it.”

I was wrong though, it was a serving boy.
