Chapter 163 Hunting Memories Of Regrettable Love 2
?
.......Flash back (former world )........
"Oh stop it!" Princess Catherine giggled shyly to Lenny's teasing.
At the moment, the two of them were having a dinner picnic in a well hidden corner.
It was just outside the Palace, inside the high garden Maze.
This was not the first time they were meeting here.
First came the first date, and then the touch, now, they met here regularly.
Lenny's fingers brushed her cheeks ever so slightly and affectionately.
Whenever she smiled, he could feel his beating organ synchronize with hers.
It was as if destiny had shoot a arrow into his chest from her smile alone.
When he looked into her eyes, the stars above his head suddenly felt shallow in their brightness.
Even though it was dark, and could barely see her, he could still tell that she gave color to the darkness.
He leaned in towards her, and her towards him.
In his life, he had never felt such oneness with anybody.
They were both from different worlds, and his was not the nicest one, her fingers seemed to corrupt his chaos with her innocent touch.
He leaned in to kiss her.
By now, it was not the first time.
But everytime, it might as well been the first.
He felt his knees shake like cold to an old man.
She came closer, and he could feel her breath on his face.
They had come so close that he could already taste her subtle relaxing perfume in his mouth...
*Ring!* Ring!!* Ring!!!*
A vibration came from his pocket that interrupted their moment.
"I'm sorry please, I have take this. But I'll be right back, so save that kiss for me. Boop!" His tapped her nose with a finger before he stood up and went to a corner to pick the call.
"Hello!"
"Lenny Tales, as your handler, I must say that I am very disappointed in you. This mission had a three month mark. Kill the King and his heir apparent to the throne. It is that easy. This is already the fifth month. This is the first time you have ever delayed on an assassination."
"I know! I know!! But things got..." he gave a brief pause, "COMPLICATED!"
"Of course," the Handler sighed, "you mean getting addicted to banging the target!?"
"No! No!! It's not like that. After all you know me handler. Sex no matter how good has never been an obstacle for me to do my job. Besides, I haven't....erm... I haven't touched her yet!"
"WHAT!!?"
"Hey, shush! Bring it down a little. She is not far from me."
"Hmmm.... Lenny, I don't think I need to tell you how bad this is right? You requested for only jobs with corrupt politians and I gave you one. If the king does not die by next week, he will pass the Bill, and thousands of people will die because of that Bill."
"I know this already! But Catherine, she has nothing to do with it. Can't I just kill only her father?"
"Humph! I wish it were that easy too. But it's not. This was a royal Oath the former King made to the Klondike family. As long as any member of the Royal family still stands, this Oath has to be fulfilled. Even Catherine as Queen of the land would not be able to go against it!"
Lenny sighed when he heard this.
This was something he was very aware of. After all, he always made thorough investigation about his targets before his missions.
This mission was supposed to have been done months ago.
In that time, he had about sixteen opportunities to kill both Father and daughter.
However, he just couldn't bring himself to do it every time.
Whenever he raised his blade and he looked into Catherine's eyes, it felt like he was about to empty the world of the most beautiful and innocent thing in existence.
He just couldn't bring himself to do it.
Every time, he would stop. Her existence was something he considered a miracle.
Yes, she was a miracle, and that miracle shone it's light on him.
"Lenny, if you don't kill the assigned targets, I will be forced to remove you from the job, and send in Agent 'X'."
Lenny frowned the moment he heard that name.
Assassins were permitted to pick their own names.
Lenny decided to use his birth name a significance of the pride and joy he had in his work.
Even though the world could very much easily track him because of it, he did not care.
In his opinion, a man in his line of work should be very proud of himself.
He should be very proud of his work. Lenny was one such proud man.
However, Agent 'X' was a different person altogether.
Agent 'X' did all jobs. Whether it was to kill an old man or a baby just delivered from it's mother's womb, Agent 'X'did not mind.
All was within his scope.
And even Lenny had to admit that he was good at it.
He was so good that while Lenny remained the Number 1 Assassin in the world, he was the number 2.
In fact, he only fell short of the position of number 1 because of an allergic reaction that affected his work abilities slightly.
If not, he was a man that Even Lenny had to take seriously.
"Agent 'X'? Handler, please don't do this. Agent 'X'is just too messy for this kind of job."
"I am sorry Lenny! You know the rules. It is already out of my hands. The client is tired of waiting. Expect Agent 'X'."
The call went off.
Lenny's face became very ugly.
Agent 'X' was a very sick man. Lenny could not imagine the things he would do to Catherine before killing her.
After all, Agent 'X' also had a thing for brown haired women.
It was best he killed her himself before Agent 'X' arrived.
"My love!" Catherine suddenly called to him.
The tone she used melted away the murderous thought that just rose in his heart.
It was not the first time, she always had a way of doing this.
"Is anything the problem!? Was that call from the museum?"
"Yes! Yes!! Everything is just fine. It is very peachy. I just got a call that the museum would be sending another Curator to handle the artworks."
"Oh!" She had a blank surprised look on her face, "but doesn't that mean that I won't get to see you again? Father only allows you into the compound because of the Artworks. If they change you, then will never...."
Her voice died down into a low sob.
Lenny still had thoughts of killing her, but the moment he saw the droplets leak from her eyes, those thoughts melted away.
Her love for him we so deep that even the probable thought of not having to see this nerdy Curator again brought tears to her eyes.
Lenny took several steps to her, and pulled her close to his chest, "shush! No one is taking me away from you. Not now, not ever."
An insane thought suddenly took root in his head, and the moment it did, Lenny watered it unconsciously.
"Come, let's leave this place. Let's runaway together."
The moment she heard it, she raised a brow at him.
"Come on now, I know you are not interested in becoming Queen of this nation. After all, you will only be Queen in name. Your father would still run the shots from behind the scenes. But if you come with me, you'll be free, and we will travel the world together, and who knows? Maybe even make little ones that will inherit your eyes."
Those words instantly made her blush. From crying, she chuckled lightly at the thought.
And then she bit her lower lips.
It was an innocent bite, but in Lenny's head, it was the sexiest thing he had ever seen.
She suddenly grabbed him by his hand and pulled him along.
"Come! I have something for you."
Lenny followed along, but not before he took one last gulp of his wine on the picnic mat.
"Come on!" She pulled him along and he followed.
She took him through a secret door into the Palace main house, and then Past the guards.
One look at the way she did it, and one could tell that this was not her first time.
She was definitely one of those princesses that snuck out of the house.
Through cuts and corners, they went through yet another corridor until they arrived at a particular room.
The moment they got in, Lenny instantly knew that this was her room.
After all, it was saturated by her smell.
He looked around the place, his eyes admiring the decor.
Even her room was decorated with expensive art.
Definitely, this family had a strong taste for expensive artworks.
"Lenny!" She called to him softly.
He turned about.
The sight he saw made him speechless.
He had turned right at the right time to catch her gown fall and pool right underneath her nakedness.
He was left speechless. This was not his first time seeing a woman naked.
But this was the first time his eyes were to behold her nude.
The light in the room was a bit deem, but it did not matter.
The light might have practically bounced off her ceramic looking, well polished skin.
And that embaracing blush on her face, and her slightly shaking legs that showed that even now, she was panicking, unsure of what she was doing.
All added to different layers of beauty Lenny's eyes could not help but admire.
It was obvious that she wanted to Avert her eyes from him, but she didn't. She held his gaze in hers as she walked towards the bed.
Gently, one step at a time, she mounted the bed.
As she did, her flexible body bent in ways only cats should.
Every moment, a constant pull to Lenny's attention.
She laid on the bed facing him.
"It's my first time. Please be gentle..."
