Later that day there was a commotion in the city, everyone had already heard about the events that accured earlier that morning.
This city has always been a peaceful one with the only crime that was reported was about petty thieves which nobody really payed any attention to; so when someone reported a seeing a dead body laying in an alley people were shocked.
Some people in the beginning thought it was a practical joke, it was probably just some kid pulling their leg, but when the city officials released a statement that confirmed the claim to be true; the people had to face the truth of the matter the body was real.
Most people couldn't comprehend it, this was the first time something like this has happened.
The City's citizens wondered who would do such a thing horrible thing, something like this has not been seen since the dark ages when this land was plagued with death and sickness.
That was the world that existenced before the arrival of the church, when they arrived it was as if angles descended from the heavens.
They arrived before the suffering masses and give them hope, they cured the sick and punished the wicked, their sword was swift and just one.
Even The Kindom's Royalty Family had to bow their heads in respect before the church's high priest, the people saw them as their saviours, and they had no tolerance for evil; not even the corrupted nobles were spared.
Their holy light is one that covers the whole city, no evil could escape their sight or at least that's what the people thought until today.
Weeks had past without any new information being released to the public, evertime someone would ask the one of the guard about it they would either say "we are still investigating the matter," or "we have no new information yet."
When rumours about the supposed cult started to circulate again many believed that it might be connected to the corpse they found, was it some kind of sacrifice; people were pachrified about that thought.
That evening one of the city guards was starting his usual nightly patrol, he was concerned about the resent unrest in the city.
He was clad in shiny silver armour with the symbol of a Falcon on his right breast plat, it symbolized that he was a knight of The Kingdom serving under the Royal family.
He had a air of pide around him as he walked down the streets of the city, he had blond hair and hazel eyes coupled with his slightly tanned skin he was considered quite handsome; if you looked closely you could see a few wrinkles, however instead of making him look old it made him look experienced and charming.
Sir Ronald was a knight who has loyally served the Royal family for fifteen years, he looked carm and composed as he was observing his surroundings.
One could see the wariness on the people's faces, he could understand their feelings although he looks carm and composed on the outside; on the inside he was afraid.
The city guards knew their was more to the current situation, that the Royals and nobelity were telling both them and the public.
Ronald was one of the few people that knew the truth about the matter, the body they found in the alley two weeks ago was identified as Sir Edward.
"The death of a knight would be bad but something the Rolyals would need to keep hidden from the public," that was his first thought when he started reading the official report given to him by his captain, however that all changed when he reached the end of that document.
He knew exactly why they withheld the information and refused to share it with the public.
He could imagine what would happen if that report were to be released to the public, "the chaos that it would create" Ronald said as he lets out a tired sigh.
As Ronald was thinking about all the events that accured resurntly he suddenly remembered something he was told about the corpse.
"They said the heart was removed from the corpse, it's like that was the most important thing to whoever killed him."
"Wait I remember seeing something similar to this one year ago.
