The Assassin's Mark (Skeleton Key)
“Doyle swept his eyes to me, then back to his opponent. The two men in the room couldn’t be more different. One of them loved me and the other wanted me as means to an end. Edward was kindhearted and had helped out someone he didn’t even know. Doyle mercilessly sent hundreds, if not thousands of men out to secure a throne for his eventual heir.
The entire situation made my heart ache. I wanted it all to end. I wanted to be free and safe. I took a sword from the barely cold corpse beside me and turned back to see both men glare at me. They brutally fought, blade striking blade, and each picked up speed as the assault fight. Doyle was armored, but Edward only normal clothes that seemed to do little to protect him from the cuts the men gave one another. While Edward had scratches here and there, Doyle had a long gash on his face. He’d been arrogant and unruly with his sword, but I knew it was unlikely Edward would score a similar hit anytime soon. While Doyle’s armor kept him moving a lit...tle slower, he had more skill than Edward.MoreLess
