  Rupert of Hentzau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rupert of Hentzau is a sequel by Anthony Hope to The Prisoner of Zenda, written in 1895 but not published until 1898.
He in turn kills Rupert, but is assassinated in the hour of triumph by one of Rupert's henchmen - and is thus spared the crisis of conscience over whether to continue the deception for years to come.
Film versions of Rupert of Hentzau itself were made in 1915 and 1923 (with Lew Cody as Rupert), the latter film blunting the tragic ending and turning it on its head (Flavia abdicates to marry Rassendyll, and Ruritania is declared a republic!).

Then Rupert of Hentzau, weary perhaps of waiting, perhaps only doubtful whether his message would be properly delivered, appeared in the doorway.
With a spring Rupert gained the shelter of the door, the bullet sped by him, and buried itself in the wall of the room.

Rupert opened it, and when he saw what was inside, he laughed again, and stowed it away in his pocket.
The first steps of Rupert's scheme were laid as Rudolf had conjectured: Rischenheim had started, even while I lay there, for Zenda, carrying on his person a copy of the queen's farewell letter and armed for his enterprise by his right of audience with the king.

We kept firm hold on Master Rupert’s revenues, and as good watch as we could on his movements; for we were most firmly determined that he should never return to Ruritania.
No doubt both motives worked together, and he was rejoiced to find that the weapon put into his hand had a double edge; with one he hoped to cut his own path clear; with the other, to wound the man he hated through the woman whom that man loved.

 The Prisoner of Zenda and Rupert of Hentzau (Penguin Classics) - Book
If Tom Clancy was writing this one, there'd be nuclear weapons instead of swords and email instead of telegrams, but even he couldn't pull off the simple but subtle romantic story and the triumphant but poignant ending.
If you enjoy this, you'll also want to read Hope's worthy sequel "Rupert of Hentzau," which brings Rassendyll back to Ruritania years later to match wits and swords with Michael's henchman, bringing an end to the saga so satisfyingly that there's no need for a third adventure.
I loved both but would definitely rank "Rupert" a level below "Prisoner": "Rupert" is narrated by Fritz, the faithful royal retainer from "Prisoner," and suffers from much of the action taking place outside Fritz's personal view and being retold later on.

I do not know what followed; there came-all in a confused blur of instant sequence-an oath from Rupert, a rush from me, a scuffle, as though some one sought to hold him back; then he was on me; I felt a great thud on my forehead, and I felt nothing more.
