The Heir Of Shadows

The Whispers Begin: The Contract

The Whispers Begin: The Contract

Jun 16, 2025

"Shall we draft the contract now that we've answered all of your questions?" Myrathis spoke with measured grace.

Silverthorn glanced at him and answered, " Yes, we shall."

She asked her sister to bring paper, pen and ink. As she brought the materials, Silverthorn crossed her legs, and leaned forward to draft the contract.

"You've went on only 25 missions till now?"

Silverthorn spoke nonchalantly, "Yes, I only go on S-class missions after all. Also, is there a time limit?"

Fenris instantly replied, "55... 55 days including today."

She scribbled all the terms and conditions that were for assigning her and slid the contract in Myrathis' direction.

Myrathis eyed the contract and passed it to Fenris. They both signed at the end of the contract.

The contract was- 


Mercenary Commission — Mission No. 026

This agreement is made on June 16, between Duke Fenris Sunfire and Commander Myrathis Lightweilder, hereinafter referred to as “the Employers,” and Silverthorn, hereinafter referred to as “the Contractor.”

Scope of Work: Investigate Crown Prince Aurion Starforge's death.

Duration: From 16 June till 30 July.

Payment: 50,000 gold 

The guild's location must not be revealed and so shall this mission's info.

Termination: After the end of duration of the contract or when asked by the Employers.

✒️ Signed by Fenris Sunfire

✒️ Signed by Myrathis Lightweilder

✒️ Signed by Silverthorn

Witnessed and sealed by the Guilmaster and Lynn



Silverthorn grinned and questioned, "I hope you won't fail to pay me. You know, higher the risk, higher the payment."

Myrathis glared and answered, "Don't worry. We belong to noble families, we have enough money to pay your upcoming generations."

She remarked, "I see, noble people you both are. Well, your work here is done now."

Fenris replied, "And we know that better than you. Let's go, Myrathis."

Myrathis got up and so did Fenris, to leave.

As they were on the doorstep, Thalindor said, "Don't forget, you can't talk about this place's location."

Myrathis smiled and nodded.

Silverthorn waved a goodbye and went back.


Thalindor knew what was going to follow now. He spoke, "Hey, calm down. Don-"

"Eve, I would like to have a word with you," said Silverthorn while glaring.

Hey everybody! If you like my novel then do not forget to sub so you don't miss out new eps. Anyway, I was thinking of creating a separate Instagram account for this novel if it reached 100 subs. I'll be posting a bit of spoilers and artworks there. Maybe lore too (heheeh). Have a good day! Byeeee...

The Heir Of Shadows

The bloodline burned, but not all turned to ash.

Eighteen years ago, the royal family was massacred. The empire crowned a lone survivor-now a dead crown prince.

The throne stands empty. The court whispers of a forgotten heir.

Assigned to uncover the truth, she steps into a web of lies, hidden power, and the ruins of a dynasty that was never meant to rise again.
But some secrets don't stay buried.
And some legacies refuse to die.

In a world where loyalty is bought and blood is currency, one question burns through the silence:
Will the crown be claimed... or consumed?
