That Prince Is A Girl The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate by Kiss Leilani

Chapter 434:

Reacting on pure instinct, Emeriel leaped onto the bed and collided with the intruder, her hands closing around the dagger’s hilt.

They struggled for control of the weapon, muscles straining as the blade wavered between them. With a fierce cry, she rammed her fist into the assassin’s stomach.

The blow landed hard, forcing a grunt from him as he staggered backward, his grip on the dagger slipping. Emeriel wrenched the weapon free from his hand.

“Who are you?” she demanded, advancing on the intruder.

The assassin recovered quickly and lunged at her, his hands clawing for the dagger.

Emeriel twisted, keeping him from reaching it. Each time he made a grab for the weapon, she pulled it just beyond his grasp.

His frustration mounted, and with a rough growl, he swung a fist aimed at her face. Emeriel deflected it with quick reflexes, and seizing her chance, she drove the dagger deep into the assassin’s chest. He let out a long, ragged breath as his body tensed. Then, with a slow heave, he collapsed at her feet, lifeless.

Emeriel straightened, dusting off her hands, when a faint groan reached her ears.
