    I don't have much hopes that someone knows this because all i did was read a passage about this a long time ago and i don't even know if it was a real book, a novel or a manga, i only read some lines which were probably from a summary.

    The main character was trained by his parents to become a killer, killing people laid in the family. He was supposed to join the royal family when he was ready. There, he would do assassinations, protect the king and his family. The story was about him rising in the royal family, until he was an essential part of it. But the interesting part is that he would maybe rise high into the ranks and become the king himself? Not sure about this, but i get the feeling that it was hinted.

    It's to 99% not on Royalroad or NU, it would be really coincidental because at that time i didn't know either of them

    Honestly, it's probably a real book. People would know this if it was a novel, at least i have never heard of it again after that time

    Somewhat like farseer- he is also an assasin to the royal family but he is a bastard child of the king so there is some difference.

    It most likely is one of Robin Hobb's novels. Fitz is a member of the royal family who is trained by the king's brother to serve the royal family as an assassin. Since both of them are bastards, they can't do anything else.

    There's about 9 books in the series by now if you count the three sets of trilogies. The second trilogy has Fitz becoming an even more indispensable member of the Royal family once they realize he has quite the talent in magic and his Uncle takes over as king.

    I haven't read the last trilogy of Fitz, so I can't comment on how well it is written. It's quite a recent release by Hobb. She also has a few series set in the same world. One of which involves pirates.
