I Got Isekai’d, Well Shyt!

”Crap... I wish I could have stopped her...” Mathew said as he slowly got up. Feeling the pain coursing through his body thanks to his Lightning Speed ability.

”She made her choice,” Wina said.

Mathew was looking at Wina and he noticed tears in her eyes. ”Are you alright, Wina?”

She quickly walked over to him and gave him a hug and put her head on his chest.

”I-I’m sorry... I should have spotted them... Two people died. Ingrid is dead, and I could have stopped this...”

Mathew wrapped his arms around her and gently rubbed her head. ”No. It’s not your fault. I should have noticed something when we searched the room. I’m the one at fault here. And if it wasn’t for you the Prince—”

Mathew stopped himself when he realized that Wina was able to fight extremely well and take down two assassins. And she wasn’t affected by the Galebane Fumes.

’Why was she not affected? The toxin made the squires and me sluggish. Unless... No... It can’t be! Can it? Is she an assassin too?’

Mathew and Wina stood there in silence for a minute before Wina spoke.

”Mathew... There’s something I haven’t told you...”

”Yes?” Mathew asked with a worried tone.

Wina took a deep breath. ”My real name is not Wina... And... I was hired to kill the... Prince... I’m an assassin, Mathew...”

Wina looked up into Mathew’s eyes with tears coming out of hers.

”But I couldn’t go through with it! You are the first person that actually treated me like a person. The Queen, the staff... All of you... Have become a family I never had... I don’t want to be a tool to be used... They see me as an object that is only useful until I serve my purpose and then I would be thrown away like trash... I’ve been trying to find a way out of this contract, but I can’t...”

Wina looked back down as she couldn’t take the look in Mathew’s eyes. She was expecting him to push her away and say that she was a monster.

Mathew’s panic subsided and was replaced by a bit of sadness and relief.

’She’s an assassin with a heart of gold? I never thought I see the day...’

”I can’t believe it... You are an assassin, huh?”

”Yes...” Wina said as she was trembling.

”Well... What now?” Mathew asked.

Wina’s head shot up. ”You’re not mad!?”

Mathew smiled, ”Well, it is disappointing that I won’t be able to swoop in the save you. I was hoping to be your knight in shining armor. Like in those fairytales... But I guess it’s not so bad to have my love rescue me instead?... Of all the women in the world, I seemed to have fallen in love with a badass assassin,”

Wina’s face went red and she looked away. ”Y-you idiot... Y-You are just saying that...”

”No, really. I don’t care if you are an assassin. You’ve shown me nothing but loyalty to the Queen, the prince, and most importantly, me. I don’t care if you are a monster, a human, a demi-human, an angel, or even a dragon. You will always be the Wina I fell in love with. No matter what,” Mathew said with a smile.

Wina’s heart skipped a beat and she wished she could have Mathew take her away. But her duty was first and foremost to the kingdom of Fiafyr. And she needed to find a way out of this contract with the Duke.

Mathew took a step forward and hugged Wina tightly.

Wina was shocked but then melted into his embrace. ”Thank you...”

At some point, Mathew got woozy from the toxin and stumbled.

”Gah... I guess I’m not in tip-top shape...”

”It’s the Galebane Fumes... Here let me get you an antidote,” Wina said as she reached into her assassin’s belt to pull out a green potion, and gave it to him.

”Thank you, Wina,” Mathew said.

Wina shook her head. ”It’s the least I could do for you and the— Oh gods the Prince!”

Wina quickly ran over to the crib and saw the sleeping Prince. But his face was pale from the Galebane Fumes. It usually isn’t lethal but a child could die if it was left untreated.

”I-I hope you’re okay, my prince,” Wina said as she pulled out another antidote and a dropper and put a few drops in the infant’s mouth.

”What’s wrong, Wina?”

”Nothing, I hope... Galebane could be lethal to children. But we better get him back to his mother.” Wina said as she was relieved to see the color returning to Quinus’s face.

”Wina? Do you think the person who hired you? Also hired these assassins too?” Mathew asked as his body started to regain its strength as the antidote started to work. But he was still in pain when he used his Lightning Speed ability.
