What is there to "wonder" about why you saved the FUCKING CROWN PRINCE?
IF HE GOT STABBED INFRONT OF YOU IT WOULD BE YOUR HEAD ROLLING AS WELL
I get what the author is going for but its such shoddy writing holy fuck
Also what is up with this turn based NPC assassin??? Swing at the prince once and then stand around?
Do none of these author ever take a look at what a knife or sword fight actually looks like?
In reality this guy would have bear tackled the prince, stabbed him 24 times then slit his own throat before MC could even take a step.
