The northern rebellion (1)

"s-sorry lord king"

the king gave a smile

"I don't mind Kim... I take it you have met Mars before?"

"yes! he's the one that I could not stab!"

Kim showed a child-like smile which startled the king a little

"i-is that so?"

"yup he's really fast!"

the captain gave a sigh

"okay Kim quiet down and let the adults talk"

"...okay"

the king turned to Mars with a slightly apologetic look on his aged face

"well then I'll skip the introductions and get straight to the point, Mars I want you to follow the dark knights and act as insurance on their mission"

Mars narrowed his eyes slightly before he looked down at the table and spoke

"what's their mission?"

"well it's rather complicated but the gist is that a lord in the north might have joined the civil war in the empire and is supporting one of the factions without my consent, this if true could drag my kingdom towards it's untimely end"

Mars gave a nod
