The Infamous Assassins And The 4 Orders Of The Knights

Everyone has their own reasons for their actions, be it good or bad.

274 AD

"So did they succeed"

"Of course"

At this point in time, his dad and uncle was seriously talking about some sort of mission or is what they call it, hearing boring things that he couldn't comprehend, Lark couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go outside and search for his friends.

"Mom! I'm going to go outside now"

"Alright, take care of yourself sweetie!"

"Oh wait Lark! when you're gonna go home, could you go and ask the Davis family for carrots, I heard they got quite the harvest this month, they might give us something"

When Lark was going to jump on their fence,

he heard his mom's request.

"Alright"

"Thank you, sweetie"

Lark saw the horse of his uncle tied in a nearby tree somewhere and thought 'There's no horses in this village, maybe I could go ask uncle for a horse next time when he goes back and show it off to the others, maybe Lea will finally pay attention to me too, hehehe'

As he was fantasizing about the jealous stares of his friends and the admiring look of his crush, Lark tripped on a rock in the road.

In the hill where the Oak resides.

"Hey! did you hear the news as to what happened to the capital?"

"What news!?"

Hearing from Dean that there were news,

Lark asked surprisingly. It was hard to come by any news after all, especially in the capital's which was far very away from the village of Cinder, in which you need to get a horse or a carriage that comes by once a month, Even with those kinds of transportation it would take a month so it was quite the hassle for those tax collectors too, which is the only good point.

"The crown prince was assassinated a month ago"

"The crown prince? what does he do?"

Dean widened his eyes in surprised, hearing Lark's puzzled reply.

"Are you an idiot!!!"

"wha-why are you suddenly yelling"

Lark was startled at his friend's sudden yell. Dean took a deep breath and suddenly turned serious.

"Do you know the King?"

"Well of course, he's the bigshot who rules the Kingdom of Replesia and the ones the Knights takes high priority in protecting from, right?"

"Yes, and the village of Cinder is part of his reign too"

"So is the crown prince connected to the King?"

Dean sighed.

"The crown prince is the son and the soon to be successor of the Kingdom"

"Oh, that is quite the news alright"

Hearing his friend's tone that sounded like he didn't care, Dean heaved another heavy sigh.

"The rumors said it was done by the "demon"

"The "demon"!?"

"You mean that same "Demon" 10 years ago?!?"

There was an infamous group of assassins known for their ruthlessness in hunting down nobles, and the "demon" was one of the infamous members, who managed to kill half of the Knights of the white order, whilst managing to assassinate his target and escape heavily wounded , after that he was no longer seen. Rumors say he died due to too much blood loss, while some said he setrled down in some place faraway and recuperating for his next mission.

The house of the family Brenette

" I see so the crown prince was assassinated huh?"

"Who did it?"

asked Lucas

"Some said it's one of our members"

"But I'm pretty sure it was one of the ten Dukes"

The King was already too old and killing his only heir will result to an uproar in the Kingdom, in order to quench the people's problem, the King will be left no choice, but to choose one of 10 dukes' sons.

"Oh yeah Lucas?"

"Um, nothing, I'll be taking the night in the inn"

"Yeah sure, but let's have a drink first"

"Sure"

Lucas dragged Clark in the backyard and made Elena rake out a barrel of Ale.

'Heh might as well, after all, this will be your final drink'

Thought Clark as he mysteriously smirked at his brother.

Lucas was once called a prodigy due to his sword mastery, because of this he was even personally recruited by the King to the knights of the white order, when he was only 16 years old, but soon left after knowing the true faces of the nobles and the King.

Soon after that, he joined a small growing group of people, whose job was to eliminate the nobles one by one in order to cut off the King's power and finally eliminate him.

10 years ago the small band of assassins, sent Lucas to assassinate one of the ministers in the King's palace, but was soon found out by his former colleagues.

Left with no choice he threw a knife straight to his target's throat, while fending the oncoming knights, who he managed to half down their numbers, as he escaped heavily wounded, the next day the assassin was soon called "Demon", and sensing the huge threat of the group of assassins the King named them 'Crows' and labeled them as a Big threat to the Kingdom.

There are 4 Orders of the knights in which each only has 50 members and has different tasks to one another.

The Knights of the white order "White Stallions"

Their banner had a silver stallion and white background.

- Their only task was to protect the King's palace and the King.

The Knights of the red order "Red Bulls"

Their banner consists of a rampaging bull with a red background color.

-Their task was to lead the main forces of the Kingdom, if there was a war or a huge rebellion.

The Knights of the blue order "Waves"

The King designed their banners with an ocean wave in the middle of the flag and a blue background color.

-Their task were to protect the walls of the Kingdom and patrol, along with the guards.

And as for the last one.
