Assassin's Pride

In a world where humanity huddles within isolated city-states, protected by the magically gifted elite of noble bloodlines, a young man named Kufa is tasked with an unusual assignment. He's dispatched to tutor a seemingly talentless girl named Melida, the heiress of a prestigious ducal house, with a stark directive: if she cannot awaken her magical abilities, he is to discreetly assassinate her. As Kufa navigates the intricate web of aristocratic society and the harsh realities of a world constantly threatened by monstrous creatures, he finds himself torn between his duty and a growing sense of responsibility towards his earnest, if unproven, student. Their perilous journey together will challenge not only their individual destinies but also the rigid class structure that defines their very existence.
