49 walked around the event, making his way through the people as he noticed the guards looking nervous while trying to act like they weren’t searching for something. Curious, 49 moved closer to three guards he saw speaking on the side of a craft building. He stood a few feet from them, looking forward while seeming like he was watching the people pass.
“Did you hear that Prince Nabu is not in his cell anymore?” Guard one nervously whispered. His eyes looked left and right, ensuring someone important was not listening.
Guard two let out a suffering sigh, “Yes. The Captain was supposed to be there, but he went to do other jobs. So, there was no one watching the cell for a while and look where we are? We are desperately searching for the prince. King Galot will kill us; we are all dead.”
Guard three shook his head, “The prince could not have gotten far. There are many people here, so there is no way he could quickly leave this area. We have until the end of the day before the king notices anything. I rather not end up dead.”
“We still have an extra day, I believe. King Galot is having a dinner tonight for the royals, so we could still have time the next day.” Guard one quickly responds.
“I don’t care if we do; we need to get this done. Fuck, if only the Captain did his job, we wouldn’t be here.” Guard two clicked his tongue. They nodded before exiting their spot and blending into the crowd.
49 stayed in his spot for a second before deciding to find the Captain. The first start to creating a problem within an organized group is getting rid of the leader. It already seems like the guards are angry with the Captain since he was supposed to watch Prince Nabu. Now, all 49 needed to do was amplify their hatred.
Half an hour passed when 49 found the Captain. He has been looking through the busy crowd while bumping into other frantic-looking guards. He asked them where the Captain was, as many said the Captain was searching through every building except the ones where the royals reside. Even the brothels were exempt because they believed the prince wouldn’t be there.
And if he did check where the royals were, there would be tension between the royals here and King Galot.
The last stop was at the third Inn as 49 finally spotted the Captain. Captains wore different colored armor and clothes, showing their higher level for outside eyes. The Captain was walking out with a tight expression as 49 approached him.
“Sir,” 49 started, happy that he wore a helmet covering his face because he hated addressing someone like this, “I believe we should check the brothels.”
The Captain stopped, glancing at 49 with an annoyed sneer, “Are you stupid? Why would we search there? Prince Nabu would never go near that area, let alone inside one of those places.”
“But isn’t that a good hiding spot? The prince ran away while trying to hide from everyone. Where else would you hide if not in a place that nobody will even think to look?” 49 quickly countered.
The way these people do not think amazes 49. If he were the prince and decided to run away, he would hide in places no one would look because he barely appears at them.

49 frowned at the sight as his slave brand on his shoulder started itching. He looked away while staring at the Captain’s back as he couldn’t take the scene before him anymore.
Once they reached the first brothel building that looked better than the rest, 49 and the Captain entered. As one of the omegas passed by, the Captain quickly grabbed her arm, stopping her.
The omega looked scared for a second before quickly covering it up as she gave a seductive smile, “What can I do for you, Captain?” She even let her pheromones spill, trying to get a calmer reaction from the Captain, who looked disgusted to be in this place.
49 silently gritted his teeth with how the Captain looked at the omega like she was filth. He never saw anything wrong with brothel workers; a job is a job. And it is way better than being a slave. Honestly, anything is better than being a slave.
“Bring your madam out here. I have a few questions to ask.” The Captain spoke, his voice sounding stern.
The omega looked nervous, “I-I—”
The Captain tightened his grip, bruising her skin. She winced while the Captain spoke once more, “Do not make me repeat myself.”
49 quickly moved forward, grabbing the Captain’s hand that held down the omega. “Captain, why don’t you let me speak with her?”
“Why should I?” The Captain responded, glancing at 49’s hand on him.
“Look how nervous she looks speaking with you. Let me talk with her.”
They stared each other down with the omega, unfortunately in the middle. Then, the Captain backed down, pulling his hand away before moving back a few steps. He stuck closer to the door, looking like he did not want to be there.
Once he was out of hearing range, 49 leaned closer to the anxious omega, whispering in her ear. “Bring your madam here and tell her that she has to make us speak in her room. Then, she must seduce the Captain so that I can kill him. And once I do, spread a rumor that the Captain spent the rest of the day here. Do you understand?”
The omega bit her lip while nodding her head.
“Good.” He moved away as the omega schooled her features before making her way to get the madam.
As she walked away, 49 knew the madam could seduce the Captain. Power and authority are not the only reason a madam is chosen. But also their incredible beauty that can attract even the strong-willed people.
He walked back to the Captain. The Captain glanced towards him before asking, “How did you make her move quickly?”
“I asked nicely.” 49 commented.
The Captain snorted, “There is no need to act kindly with these people. I guessed I should have thrown money around to get her going; they will do anything for money.”
49 bit his cheek, holding back his anger as he kept silent.
It did not take long when the madam appeared, walking towards them. The madam glanced towards him with a glisten in her eyes before looking towards the Captain. She stopped in front of him, sticking out her hand, “Captain,” she greeted, “I am Madam Flore. I heard there are a few questions you wanted to ask.”
The Captain looked at Madam Flore’s hand in disgust and left her hanging, “I do.”
Madam Flore did not show how disrespectful the alpha was in her building. Instead, she waved her hand, pointing them towards a different direction, “Well, why don’t you two follow me to my room? We will have better privacy from the many ears here.”
They followed her to her room, entering as she shut the door behind her. The room resembled a noble’s room, minus looking lived in. They sat on the couch while Madam Flore stood in front of them. She secretly let out her calming pheromones, mixing the scent with the incense burning in the room.
“What did you want to ask me, Captain? I promise to answer them all honestly.”
“This information will stay between us. Have you seen Prince Nabu here?” The Captain asked.
Madam Flore touched the lining on her dress, pulling it while she thought. The pull caused the dress to reveal more skin as her scent took over the room. “Prince Nabu? He would never come here, Captain.”
“I only need to hear yes or no. And don’t try lying to me, I will check every room here to ensure your honesty.”
“Ah, my loves are working in some of those rooms; I cannot have you disrupting my business, Captain.” She moved closer, falling to her knees as she rested her hands on her legs. She tilted her head, showing her neck, to present her submission. “Believe me; we have not seen any sign of Prince Nabu here.”
Her dress was lower than before, showing the top part of her breast. Any lower, then there would be nothing left to imagine.
The Captain’s eyes followed the outline of the omega’s neck before slipping down to her breast. He looked distracted as even the scent was starting to get to him. He could try to resist, but at the end of the day, his alpha side took control.
It was silent for a while as Madam Flore crawled closer, touching the Captain’s knees, “Captain, is something wrong.” She secretly glanced towards 49, tilting her head towards the pillow.
49 slid his hand under the pillow, feeling a sharp hairpin. He smirked; it seemed Madam Flore quickly came prepared. He slightly pulled the hairpin out towards him.
The Captain looked caught for a second before he growled, grabbing Madam Flore by the throat. She kept a straight face, not showing how the Captain cut her airflow. She was used to someone trying to choke her, and whoever tried ended up dead.
“You bitch! Are you trying to seduce me? Is Prince Nabu truly here?” The Captain fussed. And when the omega did not reply, the Captain raised his hand, getting ready to hit her when both his hands suddenly went lax.
The alpha started choking, coughing out blood as he reached for his neck, grabbing the hairpin stuck inside. He pulled it out, causing the blood to gush out while looking towards 49, betrayed.
“Y-You,” his eyes closed as he slumped over on the couch; blood flowed from the neck wound as the hairpin hit the ground.
There were light bruises on Madam Flore’s neck as she wiped tiny drops of blood off her face when the Captain coughed. “How fun.” She commented, “it has been a while since I had to deal with a dead body.”
49 hummed, standing up, “Don’t forget about spreading the rumor.”
“I won’t.”
I got a second job; let’s see how I manage that in my tiring life. I am also trying to start up a merch store; since I am DIYing things, it will take a while before I put up the website.
49 is too badass 😏
Good luck with the second job!
…love 49. Such a bada**
