The Badgers Deal
Jazzra felt as doe his ears were itchy...
"A thousand Gold coins?" His thoughts were running wild as he ruminates on what he just heard...
"What kind of job will require one to splash a thousand Gold coins without blinking..?"
Not that Jazzra was thinking of the possibility of the other party bluffing, no,....he is very much aware of his status and know that a thousand Gold coin was nothing for him to pay...
*Feeling heated up*
"Pruuuff"
"Your highness, if I may ask....w.. what kind of job will make you splash a thousand Gold coins just like that?"
*Smiling devilishly*
"Now you're beginning to see light..."
"You see, I will want you to see this as revenge on the king..."
"Let's just say we have a common goal...you want to come back to business and I want to make you a favor regarding that....so.."
Hesitating for a while as he stared at Jazzra, the thoughts of trusting the other party flows through his mind like a mighty wave...
"Jazzra...can your professionality be trustworthy?"
*Shocked*
The shock on Jazzra's face was too extreme that only a makeover could describe...
Jazzra was known for many a crime but never gossip...
"O come of it prince Oha, you know how professional we are when business is involved.., so get to it without delay...as long as it's within our power to execute, consider it done.."
Only a contract regarding the execution of the supreme Gods could the Badgers not sign on, the reason being the strength and might of the party involved...if they're no match against his younger brother who's but a prince, how could they scratch even an heir of his...
*Sigh*
After a careful thought of the consequence of what he's about to say getting revealed and weighing the possibility of such a matter getting to the king and finding out that it's impossible for such to even happen in the first place... prince Oha heaved a sigh of relief before finally speaking up...
"Jazzra... I need you to help me assassinate the Queen.."
It was as if a ball of lightning just struck the ears of jazzra and his crew... causing them to stagger backward...
*Coughing*
*Kuhu!*
*Kuhu!*
Jazzra could feel blood regurgitating in his mouth as doe a heavy punch was placed on his face...
"Y....you say?"
Shock wave rushed through his veins, causing fright to be activated within his member...
"H...how could this be possible prince Oha, knowing the stand of the person involved?"
"H...how could you even imagine such a thing in the first place? I know you're not ignorant of the party involved, so how could you expect us to break through the might of the palace and execute such a job?"
The difficulty of the job is so evident that even the greatest hitman would shiver before considering its benefits...but as the saying goes 'the most tasking jobs pays more'...
*Sigh*
"So the famous 'Badgers' can't execute the job, right?" Prince Oha, seeing the confusion on the faces of Jazzra and his crew could only wonder what difficulty was in the task..., moreover, he's only asking for the murder of the king's wife and not the king...
If not for his wife's insistence that he shouldn't act by himself, who's the Queen that should even make him think deeply to eliminate?..
*Shrriiiiish*
The words of prince Oha took them aback...
"Wait! What?!" Jazzra was very quick to react to the shock of the question...
"No job is too difficult for the 'Badgers' to execute as long as it's not asking for the head of the supreme Gods.."
"However, on this occasion, looking at the difficulty of the task, I think the money is far less in value than what you want to purchase..., thus if the price can be increased, consider it done."
A bright sparkling rays of light rushed forth from the teeth of prince Oha as he heard of the condition given by the Badgers to execute the said job...
"It will be fair if you should name your price and consider it done."
He was expecting the other party to accept his initial offer but it's nothing if an increment will get the job done, moreover, his wealth as an individual can't be denied to suffer for the greater purpose...as the saying goes 'let what you have to get you what you need the most'.
"Huh"
The bright greedy eyes of Jazzra sparkled in flames the moment his ears heard prince Oha's words...
"With 'Five thousand Gold Coins' consider the job done.." Jazzra couldn't wait for a second longer the moment prince Oha uttered those words of his.., thus, he replied in haste.
"If 'Five thousand Gold Coin' will get the job done, consider it done.."prince Oha couldn't care less about what the price will be as long as a deal will kick-off and the final results attained.
Jazzra's greedy eyes widen in astonishment as the words of prince Oha brushed his ears, causing a tingling sensation...
"You say what?!" An exclamation escaped his lips on realizing the fortune he amassed only from a single deal with the prince...
"Here's a 'thousand gold coin', I will bring 'two thousand Gold Coin' tomorrow to make up half the payment."
Prince Oha immediately rushed to his carriage and brought out a sack of Gold coins...
Seeing the money, a flame of zeal consumed Jazzra and his crew...the fortune they amassed only from a single deal was far greater than what they could ever imagine...
"So when will the rest be paid, "Jazzra couldn't contain his greed.
"Pufffff"
"Why the haste Jazzra?"
*Shaking his head*
"You are very much aware of the fact that only half the money for a deal is paid until the deal is complete, so please as a professional, act like one.."
"You'll have that after executing the deal."
*Sigh*
Nodding his head in agreement to what prince Oha said...
"Now that we have a deal, It will be wise if the Badgers know how you wish to have the target executed."
*Sigh*
"Oh! That..."
"Hmmm"
"I think that will be addressed tomorrow, I need to come up with a plan on that .."
After thinking through for a while with no idea forthcoming, prince Oha thought it wise to glance through the schedule of the Royal household to find a quick solution to nab the Queen and execute the said plan...
"Tomorrow it is then, your highness."
.....
Arriving at his home, the prince went straight to the castle, going through the day-to-day schedule of the royals...
Being the king's number one adviser on matters relating to the universe, he's at liberty to access any documents he so wishes...
"Oh!"
The eyes of prince Oha sparkled with excitement as he beholds a written date where the Queen will be visiting the worlds of Men...
"How lucky I am to have gotten the deal done with the Badgers.., who would have thought the Queen was scheduled to visit the worlds of Men on the day of a full moon."
Seeing the records of future events, prince Oha realized the importance of making haste when needed...he couldn't believe that in three days from now, the pregnant Queen will have to visit the worlds of Men as required by the law binding all Queens 'ONCE A YEAR IN EVERY FULL MOON, THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE MUST VISIT THE WORLD OF MEN TO BLESS THEM'.
He almost burst out in jubilation...his heart was full of hope that he almost ran off to pay the 'Badgers' the entire payment required for the deal...
"I have to go tell Oma about the good news at hand...O, I can't wait to behold the joy that will be imprinted on her pretty face on hearing of it.."
Actually, after returning from making the deal with the Badgers, prince Oha doe getting to his home did not step into his castle but rather made haste to the king's castle where the records concerning the kingdom are kept...
"I have to go now..today had been a hectic day and I need to prepare the 'two thousand Gold Coin' required to pay the 'Badgers' against tomorrow..."
At prince Oha's castle...
Prince Oha came home full of all smiles at the thoughts of him becoming king in a few days
"Yesssss! Yesssss!"
"My love, you seem incredibly happy, did all go well?"
Oma, hearing a familiar voice sounding happy at the entrance of the castle thought to herself, "Is that not the voice of my love? What could have made him so cheerful that he couldn't wait but to pour it all out without care? I have to rush out to him before he diverts his direction to the courtyard instead of the house.."
On seeing Oma, prince Oha lifted her off the ground without hesitating ...
Smiling sheepishly at her, "Oma my love, things are beginning to turn out as planned and I'm so glad I took to your advice of acting immediately without delay...
