Dorian Castle in the early morning

Arno led the child labourers and young Assassins back to stand in front of the only tombstone in the castle's empty cemetery, holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hand and sticking his cane on the ground next to the tombstone, with the Brotherhood's eagle skull carved on the top. There are several rows of words carved in the middle of the tombstone.

——————————————

Here is buried our brother, who proved his kindness, bravery, selflessness with his actions.

He dedicated his life to the Brotherhood, and may he find peace in death.

Soros

——————————————

Arno placed the white chrysanthemum in his hand in front of the tombstone, he took off his top hat, put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply, and whispered: "May you find peace in death, thank you very much for saving my wretched brother." ”

Arno straightened up, turned around, and looked at the four Assassins in green coats and Meghan in brown coats standing next to the tombstone, which was really ironic, as if it was a tribute to Soros for promoting the other four novice Assassins to veteran Assassins, and for Meghan to be promoted from a trainee Assassin to a novice Assassin.

Arno moved his eyes to the little assassins behind him, with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes: "I want you to remember this Mr. Assassin, because he was the first assassin of the Brotherhood to die and the first assassin of the Brotherhood to die because of the stupidity of his own people!"

Arno turned to the side and turned his eyes to Megan: "The three principles of assassins:

1. Do not kill innocents indiscriminately.

2. Hide your tracks in plain sight and be part of the crowd.

3. Never endanger the fraternal alliance. ”

Arno pulled up the cane that was planted on the ground next to the tombstone: "And our Mr. Megan...... He violated two of them. First, he exposed the presence of the Assassins to the police, causing us to encounter more obstacles in the future. Second, because of his stupid approach, which led to the death of one of our brothers, Mr. Soros!"

The children in front of the tombstone looked at Megan without saying a word, although there was no sound from the group of children, but the pressure on her face even made Megan breathless.

Arno walked up to Megan, pressed the head of his cane against Megan's chest, and raised his voice: "So... As the leader of the Brotherhood, your Mentor, I declare here, Mr. Megan Dorian, that you will be expelled from the Brotherhood for violating two of the three tenets!

Arno leaned forward, put his head to Meghan's ear, and whispered, "I'm glad you're my brother, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as losing your identity as an assassin!"

Arno straightened up, took the head of his cane away from Megan's chest, and took two steps back: "Donner, please come and execute the punishment for Megan." ”

Megan never said a word, didn't even raise her head lower, and Donner, who was wearing a green coat and an olecranon hood of the same color, walked up to Meghan with an expressionless face: "I once said that this is not a good idea!"

Megan didn't struggle, she raised her hands and passively cooperated with Donner to take off his brown assassin uniform and hidden hidden in his bracers.

Donner folded the brown uniform squarely, then placed the Hidden Blade on the folded uniform, and silently retreated behind Arno with the uniform Hidden Blade.

Arnold sighed silently and walked up to Meghan: "I'll send you back to the manor, Megan, I don't think you are suitable to stay here, I will persuade my father to let him bring you to work in Dorian Bank, so that you can inherit this bank in the future." ”

Meghan, who had been silent, finally raised her head, but her face no longer had the vigor and confidence she usually had, and his voice was very hoarse: "I want to stay in the ...... of the fraternity"

Arno frowned, "I think I said it earlier, you've been expelled from the Brotherhood, you're no longer an assassin!"

Meghan's eyes were in a trance, but his weak voice could make people feel the firmness in his heart: "I was wrong, I thought everything was too simple, I killed Soros, and I want to atone for my sins! I will no longer run away from my mistakes, I can't hide back in the manor to spend my life in vain if I make a mistake! Soros's pursuit and belief will be inherited by me!"

After Meghan finished speaking, she looked at Arno pleadingly: "Please agree to my unreasonable request, mentor......"

Arno held his cane in both hands, looking at Megan, who was the same as before, he turned his head to look at the assassin behind him: "That's what he said, what do you think?"

There was silence in the crowd, and the Assassins looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Until Aris took two steps forward and walked behind Arno: "Teacher, he violated our creed! He killed his own brother! We can't accept him as our brother anymore! I even think he should be put to death!"

Ariston paused: "That's what I thought...... Until he said he intended to inherit Soros's will, so I thought, maybe we can give him a chance. ”

A brown-haired child walked out of the crowd and looked at Meghan who was being judged, he looked up at Arnold: "Please give Mr. Megan another chance, I think everyone has a chance to make amends!"

Meghan gratefully looked at Morgan and Aris who came out to speak for him.

Arno pinched his chin with his right hand and considered.

Meghan didn't speak, lowered her head again, and quietly waited for Arno to issue a final verdict against him.

Arno's hand pinching his chin rested on the cane again, nodded, looked at Meghan with her head down, and said: "I think the castle is still short of a handyman, and now the castle is made by the assassins every day, and the clothes are made by the assassins every day, which is a big burden, and it is unlikely that we will recruit some outsiders to be handymen, do you think you can do it?"

Megan looked up, her face full of surprise: "Yes! I think I can do this job! I think I will do it well!"

Arno nodded in his mind: "Very good, then I will leave the chores of the castle to you in the future, by the way......" Arno turned around and picked up the Hidden Blade on the uniform that Donner was holding and threw it to Megan: "In our assassin's hideout, even if you are a handyman, you need to know some self-defense skills." ”

Megan caught the lost Hidden Blade, he excitedly put the Hidden Blade back under the bracer, he had never felt that the Hidden Blade was so important to him, the moment he lost the Hidden Blade, he himself seemed to be unarmed surrounded by a group of enemies with the sword, until the Hidden Blade returned to his side.

Arnold looked at Megan meaningfully: "Good job, I think the whole hiding place is staring at you, your handyman is not easy to do." ”
