Scarlett scowled slightly. Obviously, someone misunderstood her methods and motivations.?
?
She may have killed fellow vampire Wolfram as vengeance for the death of her beloved more than 150 years ago, and for Turning her against her will. Scarlett had narrowly avoided execution for that crime and was fortunate only to be exiled. Killing the newly awakened prince, if she was even successful, would put a death mark on her head for the rest of her life -- however short that would be. Retaliation would be swift and agonizing.
?
She had carried out assassinations many years earlier for the Vampire Nation, humans mostly...occasionally a werewolf or other creature who was conspiring against vampires. She had been out of that business since she was exiled. Her work since had mostly been as an investigator working for vampire and human clients, some occasional bodyguard work and more rarely as a mercenary soldier. Never as an assassin.

"You must think me a fool?" the redhead replied. "Killing the prince would mean certain death...but not until I was made to suffer greatly for my actions. Besides, I have have no reason to hate or kill the prince. I am not interested. Furthermore, you'd better hope I don't learn who you are because I would be happy to kill you for making such a move against the prince."

The voice chuckled. ¡°You already know who I am Scarlett. We¡¯ve worked together on quite a few jobs. Beside, if I were you I would reconsider, consider since I know you have some very powerful enemies. If I¡¯m correct you, The Tempest is after you. Which is way worse than killing a prince who is already marked for death. Either you kill her and take the money or someone else does. And if you take the job we can get the Tempest off your back.¡±
