Summary
The dagger at Simon’s hip weighs more than it had when he’d first strapped it to himself this morning.
Wille gentles an arm around his shoulders, pointing out exotic birds and plants, explaining their respective habitats, their food habits. The vulnerable skin of his throat is unguarded, the tender flesh near his heart covered only by thin, white cotton. It would be quick, Simon promises himself, painless even. Wilhelm need not unnecessarily suffer.
“– back inside?”
Simon blinks up at him.
Wille’s shading his eyes, brows knitted together in faint concern as he looks down at him.
Simon feels himself flush. “Sorry, I missed what you said.”

Or, Wille is the second born son of Queen Kristina. Simon is the fool who marries him with the goal of assassinating him and bringing an end to the tyrannical monarchy. It doesn't go according to plan.
