"The prince requested for it after the assassination. He does not feel safe in the castle and he wishes to get some air in another city. The king was heavily against it, but the queen advocated for it and they agreed to let him go."
Yulgar smiled once he heard this as he knew that there was already a plan in place by the queen to deal with the prince. The king must have agreed because he thought there was no way the assassins would know about the prince's impromptu visit to another city. But this would turn out to be a perfect opportunity to kill the prince.
It would take three days to get from Taragon to Destri and before the news of the prince's death gets from there to here, they would have perfectly covered their tracks.
"Get a message to the head of the palace guard and get me the list of the men in charge of protecting the prince in the city," Yulgar said as they reached the doors leading to the throne room, "I want it before the prince leaves."
