Jessica's POV
And I've left his study a few minutes later but I've never had the courage to tell him about my encounter with Luciano.
Harry and two more guards dressed in uniform waited for me outside. I bid them goodbyes but Harry kept on following me around to which I shot him a weird glance and glared at him sometimes as I neared my room.
"Do you have to make it that obvious? Your aura is literally shouting at everyone to keep their distance from me and scaring away everyone else. Relax." I patted him on his back, trying to ease the solemn expression on his face but just ended up being ignored and humiliating myself.
"Hey! I am the client you're supposed to protect! I am your boss; how dare you ignore me!" I yelled after him and he just kept walking.
And I was merely a few feet away from my room and he flew the door open, making me frown deeper. I am going to get my face wrinkled up if this stuck-up ass work as my bodyguard. Harry then got out and made the gesture as if allowing me to get in.
"You surely aren't mute, the last time I checked. Why aren't you talking?" I poked on his chest but blew on it when I almost broke it.
"What do you eat? What are you fucking made of?"
"Muscles."
"OMG! It talks!" I spoke sarcastically and went to change my clothes.
"Miss Knight, we have a long day waiting for us tomorrow, so please get some sleep." This time, he spoke gently as if I was a child and I just nodded my head as I ignored the fact that I was being babysat and plopped down on my bed, landing on a soft, comfy and plush bed.
"Alright. Good night, Harry. See you tomorrow." I raised my hands above my head and shook it, trying to wave in the direction Harry once stood.
"Night miss." A few seconds later, the door was closed and I sighed as I looked at the ceiling. It's not my first day staying or sleeping in this room but I can never get used to how luxurious, stunning and peaceful this room is.
Yes, there are a couple of guards at the front of my door but the walls are soundproof and I can do anything I please, without worrying about people invading my privacy. At least, the guards won't be able to listen to me speaking to myself and think I am crazy.
I scrolled through my phone and my eyelids started getting heavier. I tried to stay awake and make sense of the picture on display but I couldn't figure out what was on the screen as my brain was screaming at me to sleep. So, I gave in and went to my sweet dreamland.
--------------
I am on my way to Damon's study again and someone has been following me around like a lost puppy. I am honestly proud of myself that I managed to not yell at him for following me around. I've never been a patient girl so I am pretty proud of myself.
I knocked and went inside, Harry waiting for me at the door. As I opened the door, Damon was doing some paperwork and I stood near him, observing what he was doing.
Just some boring paperwork, really. Nothing interesting.
"You're here! That's great! I would like to introduce you to someone." "Who?" "He is the most well-known assassin in our Italian mafia. He goes by a lot of names, the hellhound, killer god but I would say Black Killer is the one most people know him for. He isn't the best out there just in our empire, but in the whole mafia world. Hence, I think he is the best choice and is fit to be your trainer. I will arrange your training in the meantime and 'Black Killer' will be accompanying you and teach you how to be an assassin. "
"Black Killer?" "Yes. He is one of the best and he prefers wearing masks to conceal his identity. There aren't many people who have been his face except the people in headquarter so you will have to get used to this mysterious guy." "Well, sure. I guess I can try."
"I look forward to our training then." I jumped a whole mile away when an unfamiliar and deep voice was heard from behind me. I turned around to check who that was but all I could see was a pair of amber eyes, glistening under the sunlight like honey that could attract a whole tribe of honey bees. Now, that doesn't sound right, does it?
Caz, he looks deliciously HANDSOME! Even though I couldn't see how he looked behind the mask, I could tell he was gorgeous. Well, at least his eyes were gorgeous enough to make me swoon over him.
Had I known he would be my trainer, I would have said yes long ago. Why didn't they tell me sooner?
I know that learning to fight or kill someone wasn't exactly on my bucket list but if I were to take over the throne, I need to protect myself and face the world. I've been living a normal life as an ordinary girl but that's not how this shit excuse of the world works. So, I decided to learn to protect myself.
Even if I won't take over the mafia, it would be beneficial for me to learn self-defense and learn to protect myself when I am in danger.
I turned around from the so-called Black Killer to face Damon. When he realized, I was done processing a bit about the situation, he continued explaining.

I turned around from the so-called Black Killer to face Damon. When he realized, I was done processing a bit about the situation, he continued explaining.
"He would take you to a place in Russia and help you train. As for how he is going to train you and the routine, I have no idea because when it comes to training, he has the whole responsibility and authority to do whatever he pleases. He will be your mentor for at least a year and you can return when you think you are strong enough to protect yourself." Damon sipped his tea but put it down in haste when he realized he forgot something.
"OH, and one more thing! The most important one, actually. Russian mafia and Italian mafia haven't been in good terms and Luciano might try to assassinate you if he finds out you're the heir and you're in his territory. So, I will try to distract him and keep him occupied as much as I can. But, if things go wrong, you must return home."
"But why Russia though? If we aren't on good terms with Russian mafia, why are you sending me there?" It was almost suicidal and out of all the amazing places in the world, I didn't understand why he had to send me to one of the most dangerous places.
"The most dangerous place is the safest. You see, as much as I would love for you to go to an isolated place in Italy, there are way too many Russian spies working under Luciano here. So, it would be extremely hard for you to stay hidden. On the other hand, they won't pay much attention if you stay in an isolated forest that isn't even located on the maps." He stood up from his seat and continued.
"There are some spies in Russia and we don't have control over how things end up in other countries so I would say, Russia is the best choice for now. After all, I will come up with some excuses to make Luciano stay outside the country as much as I can."
I nodded in understanding and took a sip of my tea. "That makes sense. When am I leaving?"
"We aren't in a hurry but time sure is very precious. I was thinking that probably a week later. You can buy things you might need there since you will be training in a secluded place. You won't go out where people can see you. If anyone, Harry will go out to buy things but it would be better if you go out less often." I nodded in understanding but a displeasure clearly written on my face.
"Oh. So, you mean, I practically have to be under quarantine of some sort." I snorted in the end and Damon shrugged. "Yes."
"Hm, sure. I can pack later. I am gonna go out with Fionna. I might not be home for a few days because I gotta make the best out of my break before I am met with my nightmare." Damon chuckled and I headed towards my room.
