The Shadow's Kingdom

The foreground of an assassin involved in medieval politics.

I feel the wind blowing as I look down at my kingdom. It's not my kingdom for real but its home.
You know how trees grow rotten and if you cut off certain branches you'll save the tree?
Well I'm not sure about that but I know that's how politics work. Cut off the stupid parts and leave the smart ones. The wheels will roll, with problems at times, but they'll roll.
Cause that's how politics work. There's always problems and sometimes you have to replace the screws but it works.
Its when the tires start to go different directions when you have to cut off wheels.
This kingdom I love for many reasons. It's ambitious, taking out its enemies ruthlessly.
It's just and fair, judging its people fairly.
It's the smartest of the kingdoms, its medicine is advanced and its technology is superb.
Its also rumored they've discovered the witches and wizard's secrets to magic. It wouldn't surprise anyone.
I may be bias to it a bit. I love it.
I may be only 17 but I know a bit about the politics here. It starts and ends with its royalty. Each member of the royalty, the elite, not the smaller ones like the duke of raspberry or whatever it is.
I mean the Queen, King, the Princesses, the Princes and their children.
You could include some other powers in there like the leader of the military, or the richest duke and duchess, but I focus on the true royals.
You see, the middle Prince, always the middle prince in the books, its getting cliche. But its not without evidence. The middle child will get to see the first be favored and respected most cause he's heir. The third doesn't care cause he's loyal and a warrior at heart.
The second prince, whose name is Derrick, has begun to make a rebellion to take the crown. He's recruited bandits and the lesser dukes and duchesses combined armies. Together they could win.
But the country would be easy to take over by a foreign Queen's
So when this was found out by the Queen's spies they recruited some 'ninjas'. Well, I'm an assassin not some ninja. I come from a clan of assassins who is cold hearted and swift as shadows.
I hate the clan. I may be from it but I burned my village down to the ground.
The clans name is Poison. Just plain poison.
Now normally I stay out of politics. But this time I decided to save this kingdom.
Why?
Its because my sister is the adopted daughter of the third prince.
I miss Grimmer.
