The Sounds Of Night

A cold sweat enveloped Henry when he learned of the situation. Before long Vincent allowed such a threat to Henry until finally ordering Clark and Newt to calm down and stay away from their swords.

"Does uncle want me to also throw it into prison to accompany Evernan? Or maybe want to be punished as well? Uncle's treatment, which is almost the same as Evernan's, which is insulting and even hurting loyal royal descendants, can easily be sentenced to death," Vincent continued.

Can only harbor a deep wrath, Henry looked at Vincent hatefully. The embers in his heart were getting more and more bubbling.

"Just look at you later, Vincent! Uncle is very disappointed with your decision!" threatened Henry then walked back to his room.

"We don't know what he's going to do after this. Newt, you stay on standby with the best escort for Lily! Now go see Lily!" ordered Vincent abruptly.

Meanwhile Grand duke Henry, who was still very angry, had already reached his room. The door of the room slammed as hard as he could when he closed it. The items that were on the table or wherever it was were immediately dropped and thrown into various parts of the room. Henry didn't care about these things anymore. Everything was broken and messy. Accompanied by a loud, echoing and muting cry that came out of his mouth.

"Damn Vincent! Now what should I do?!" said Henry.

Already feeling tired after venting all his emotions, Henry is now sitting in the chair in the room. He began to think of a way for Evernan to be released from his sentence. Crazy ideas one by one appeared in Henry's mind.

Starting from kidnapping the princess Lily, messing up the people with gossip even flashed through Henry's mind to kill king Vincent. Time and again the latter option swirled in Henry's head. It's as if there's no better way than that. Grand Duke Henry smiled evilly after weighing his crazy idea.

"That's right! Vincent wouldn't be able to do anything if he was dead. But everything has to go according to plan. I don't want to dirty my hands just to kill the arrogant young king! I didn't expect him to be pretentious and sensible. I know very well he is a talented person in swordsmanship. So it will be difficult for me to fight him head-on. I guess his mentality is still as cowardly as he used to be. Damn you Vincent! I'll teach you a lesson for underestimating me!" said Henry as he clenched firmly. He punched her on the glass that was in front of her until it shattered.

That night, when all the palace people were already asleep in the cradle of dreams including king Vincent, dozens of masked people in all-black clothes flashed from roof to roof with swords in their hands. Entering the territory of the Dragonhart royal palace, the ten people dispersed into three groups of four people, three people, and three more people. The main leader gives a code to immediately head to the target that has been set. Their actions also launched in the silent middle of the night.

Birds fly past the moon. Ten hitmen told someone to start moving to their destination. They sneaked slowly targeting his target. Some lead to Vincent's king's chamber which is at the top. Some were in the direction of Lily's daughter's room. And the rest stood guard around the palace while securing the situation.

Meanwhile, Vincent's shadow army is always on guard. They are Newt, Jack, and Pells. While Clark always protected Vincent in his room.

It only took a few minutes to find out the existence of the attempted assassination of the king that night. As Newt was standing guard inside princess Lily's room, his ears caught strange noises from downstairs. Newt immediately went down to confirm that.

While outdoors, Pells saw on the roof of the palace three unknown strangers. Pells instantly suspected them and unceremoniously aimed at them with arrows. Pells' movements were so fast that the three fell down without them noticing. The bodies of the three fell covered in blood. 

Jack, who was guarding at the top, had actually fought with the two assassins. Two more of them stormed Vincent's room through the window. Fortunately, Pells' screams awakened almost all the occupants of the palace.

"Intruder!! Rebel!! There are intruders entering the palace!! Protect the noble king and princess Lily!"

Suddenly, all the assassins who were there were in the past and were about to run away because they had been discovered. Those who fought with Jack were eliminated. While in the lower room of the palace of Newt's customary who was fighting against three people.

Clark tightened his vigilance. Sure enough two intruders managed to break into Vincent's room. With such a situation, Clark chose to wake up Vincent first. Only then can he fight freely in the king's room. Vincent woke up instantly and remained alert to the surroundings.

The atmosphere of the night in the originally quiet palace instantly turned into a bloody one. Clarl drew his sword and began to draw on the two intruders.

"Who are you guys?! How dare you sneak in here?!" asked Clark in a high tone.

King Vincent had already been kept away from the site. Clark didn't want the king to dirty his hands for something like this. It was enough for Clark to complete it while showing his toughness as the king's bodyguard.

Without saying anything, the two assassins swiftly attacked Clark at the same time. Sword Fighting and agility in moving were displayed before Vincent. Although occasionally one of them still targets Vincent.

"Beat one first, Clark! That will make it easier for you!" suggested Vincent still remained relaxed.

Clark's focus was so focused, he didn't really hear what Vincent said. But his mission succeeded without having to obey Vincent's words. The two hitmen were not as smart as Clark in playing swordsmanship tactics. Both of them died at the same time being hit by Clark's powerful sword again sharply.

Under the palace Newt, who fought three people, did not feel overwhelmed. At first, Pells wanted to help Newt in fighting the three men. But when one of them dies, Newt orders Pells not to interfere in his fight. Pells could only just obey and watch it. One more person fell and another last one fell shortly after. 

The royal soldiers guarding the palace did not involve themselves in the fight against the assassin. They were ordered to keep the care of Princess Lily and king Vincent and make sure they were both ok.

That night the ten assassins of the royal people's order were slaughtered quickly by the shadow army Vincent formed. The royal warriors were amazed by it. Naturally, because the shadow army belonging to the king of Vincent is composed of people who have been selected by the king himself. They are the best of the best.
