The crowd eventually stopped argueing and admitted the man's defeat, leaving Sander with his catch.

The man frowned.

"How did you.. you must've cheated! You can't have done that without cheating! "

"Well.. it's just a game of luck.. or perhaps something else? A magician doesn't reveal his tricks.. " Sander simply replied, getting off his seat.

"Pleasure playing with you, sir. We should do it again some time. "

The man kept glaring at Sander until Sander sat on his normal place again: Close to the window with a drink and a cigar, staring at the dark streets and the faint light the street lanterns gave them.

A young boy entered the bar, and when Sander noticed him, he waved him over. The boy walked over, and took  a seat next to Sander.

"You're the messenger? " He whispered.

The boy nodded.

"Alright. Hand it over. "

The boy grabbed a small piece of parchment in his satchel, and put it in Sander's hands.

Sander opened the parchment, and read the contents. He raised an eyebrow and wanted to ask something, but saw the boy had already excited the bar.

Dear Sander,

You have served our organization well for the past two months.

We now realize you can keep your mouth shut at the right time, and we can count on you to get something done.

''We now give you this job - eliminate the royal family. All of them. We do not care how, or when you do it. Just complete this job, and you will gain our favor. In our respectable line of work, we know how to repay favors, don't we? We trust this job will be done just like your former jobs - clean, nice, and fast. Give us a show. ''

''Our special and optional request? Hang the body of the princess on the castle walls. Performing this can get you an increased pay.''

Tristan.
