Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 55

I'm not worried about getting twisted somewhere, I just want to give that ugly-looking guy another hard lesson. I was caught in the morning, and I was taken out at noon.

"You're bold, Mr. Bill Max." Auriden's tone was low.

"I ...... Can't. ”

"You dare, I just told you not to make trouble, you don't put my words in your ears!" Auriden said. "Maybe I really need to put you in jail and tell you to sober up."

"You seem to have forgotten who you are." He stood in front of me.

I suddenly felt a sense of oppression. It's like when I was blamed by my superiors at the place of work...... Suddenly, a resentment grew from the bottom of my heart. Not cowardice, not jealousy, not shame, resentment......

"I'm sorry...... His Royal Highness the Prince. "But what else can I say?

"There's no next time." He said.

"There won't be a next time." I try to say it as respectfully as possible.

"I want you to be a knight, and not a tricky farmer with a heart." He stared at me. "There's something you need to do, and if you do it, you'll be guilty."

"Listen to orders."

"Get rid of someone I hate."

I looked up at the prince.

"But I don't know what your assassination skills are." He said.

"Either I die, or he dies, or I die with him. It will not drag the mud and water. I said.

"Hmph. I want you to find a chance to kill Fred in the next few days. His eyes were calm.

"When, exactly?" I'm not surprised.

"Tomorrow."

"Where's the location?"

"The day after tomorrow he will go to Lordaeron. You're going to end up with him on the way. ”

"Where?"

"The choice is yours."

"Are there any special requirements or ways to do this?"

"If you can make his death less painful, you can try."

"Your Highness will be satisfied."

"You...... Seems to be very good at this? ”

"There is only one purpose for a hunter, but there are many ways to hunt and kill, and I happen to be a hunter too."

In this matter, it will become a pit. I may not end well in the royal strife, as I said, either he dies or I die, and I know that Fred was killed by me first, and then I was killed by the prince.

As the prince's bodyguard, we lived in the King's Fortress, but the range of activities was small, and I was restricted from traveling. As much as I would love to see Shaun and his son, especially his skinny son, I can't go anywhere right now.

"You're packing?" I watched as the four statues were packing up for the salute.

"Well, why don't you clean it up?" Barrett said.

"I didn't get notice!"

"Now you've got it." Nicholas said.

"Where are you going? Back to Talenmere? ”

"Talunmere is already the property of the Barov family, and Talenmere is still Talenmere! Let's go to Kyldalon. Nicholas didn't stop moving.

"Keldaron? Did I hear me right? ”

"Don't doubt your ears. Mr. Bill. Saxton pulled his sword out of its scabbard. We're going to that beautiful island again. I remember you were from Keldaron County. ”

"Why go...... Kyl Darron? ”

"Abigail is dead!" Nicholas said.

"Shall we go to mourn?"

"It's not us, it's His Royal Highness the Prince." Saxton gently wiped his saber. "We are not his subjects. Oh, you are his subjects. You can be regarded as a funeral on the way. ”

"you, Saxton." I interrupted him impatiently.

"You're such a farmer, Bill. Duke Abigail is dead, and his title is to be inherited to his son, Lord Alex Barov, who took Talemmir with us. But now it's going to be a duke. But the king can't go to this matter, and only our Royal Highness Prince Oriden will serve on his behalf. To be precise, we are not going to mourn, but to seal him, you know. Saxton explained to me.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"What do you say?"

It was arranged a little suddenly, and tomorrow we had to leave, and the day after tomorrow Fred was going to Lordaeron. So where am I going tomorrow?

The next day, before dawn, I was bombarded by them. I hate being forced to get up before dawn, and I hate getting up from the covers before dawn on a cold winter day to go out to gather.

Although I got up early in the morning, I waited until dawn before I officially set off. Time had been delayed, but I had no time to see the poor father and son.

Auriden left Alterac City with twenty or so of our guards.

After a whole day's walk, in the evening Oriden came to me and pointed at me, and I followed him to the grove next to the camp.

"Tomorrow morning we will pass through the fork in the road to Lordaeron, and you will go about your business, and don't forget to bring back his ears to me." Auriden gave me a strange look.

It's only been a day and there's one more condition. "Is there anything else you want to bring?"

"If you have the chance, bring back his paperwork bag or something." In the darkness I saw what seemed to be a glint in his eyes. "I have a reward."

The next day, when I was passing a fork in the road, O'Ridon gave me a look. I quietly fell to the end of the line and quietly left the group. I stood at this junction and watched them walk slowly, the fields on both sides of the road shining brightly in the sunlight, I turned my head to look at the road from which I came, and rode my horse in the direction from which I came.

It is very difficult to assassinate in the snow, and this is not to kill others, but to assassinate Ouriden's own brother, the second prince of the kingdom, and the second heir to the throne of the kingdom. I struggled to figure out a better ambush and assassination strategy. Including the camp where we rested last night. However, time waits for no one, and looking at the sun in the west, if nothing else, Fred will soon be in the place where we camped last night.

I touched the bow and arrows hanging behind the saddle bridge, and if they were few, I slaughtered them all.

No...... Maybe we can't do it tonight, so we have to observe first.

Once the horses were settled, I went behind a bush. When it was nearly dark, there was still no procession passing by. When it was already completely dark, I emerged from the bushes, far from the avenue, and I began to look for it on foot.

After walking about two or three miles back, I finally found the light of the burning fire, where they had set up camp.

I touched the quiver on my ass again, hunched over. Lying in the snow, I carefully counted the burning fires.

There were more than a dozen fires, and even if there were three people on one fire, there would be at least forty people. I stomped around for a long time, and finally settled on the target, the one with the gray wolfskin cloak and a ferret hat on his head was probably Fred.

The scattered fires surrounded his tent in the center. The tent was small, but there was only one one, and there was a guy with Fred who was dressed completely differently from the soldiers......

How is it a ...... I read that right, it was a woman.

I couldn't get any closer, and I had already spotted the sentries crouching in the surrounding woods. Although I can be presumptuous in Alyssa's bathroom, it is impossible to slip through the snow without making a sound and leaving a trace.

After determining the number of Fred's personal guards and the physical shape of the guards, I crawled back very slowly.

It's hard to start here, even with a bow and arrow. My bow was neither a horse nor a foot, and I could not guarantee that I would seal my throat at night, at a distance of probably fifty yards from him. Shooting clothes is even more completely useless, and you will never be able to shoot him. But it seemed difficult to get close to him in such a place, and even if it was well hidden, I would have shot him...... But I don't want to die just like that.

I can only continue to look for opportunities. I'll get on my horse and keep looking, maybe there's a more suitable ambush spot ahead. When I was about to reach the fork in the road, I saw in the distance a horse standing in the middle of the road, and a man was riding at once.

I took the bow off the back of my buttocks, and the light of the moon, which was not bright, was magnified by the white earth. I couldn't make out the other person's face, but I could tell that he was watching me.

About forty or fifty yards from him I took hold of the reins, and with my right hand pulled an arrow from behind me and placed it on the bowstring.

At this distance, if he were to rush at me, I would be confident that I would kill him with an arrow. He slowly walked towards me with open hands.

"Death in the light." I think I misheard...... He seemed to be talking, I remember the word.

"Born of darkness." I echoed in my heart.

"Hidden in order." Not a delusion, he was talking.

"Manifest in confusion." I silently lowered my bow and arrow.

"Everything." He walked over.

"Nothing is in vain." By the time I chimed in, he was already standing across from me.

"Bill." A gruff voice came from behind his heavy mask.

I put away my bow and arrows, and rested my hand on the hilt of my sword. "What's the matter?"

"The lone wolf told me to send you a message." As he spoke, he held out his hand and handed me a letter.

"How do you look so dark?"

"That's your business, the letter has arrived. And the message. He looked up. You must immediately stop the current action and hurry to Lordaeron. Someone there will pick you up. ”

"And then?"

"I don't know. In the letter. ”

"How will he know what I'm going to do?"

"He knows everything."

"And what if I just did it?"

"You won't."

"Why?"

"You're not that stupid."

"I said what if."

"You're going to die."

I was amused by his words. "And what if I continue?"

"Betraying a lone wolf? I don't think you want that. "He said it extremely plainly." Also, Lone Wolf asked me to tell you that he wants you to never forget who you are. ”

"Of course I do."

"No, you don't know. You came to Alterac and didn't report back. This is not allowed. You've been on the verge of cheating, but you don't know the cost. ”

"I hate being tied down." I touched my chin.

"You can't break free, so stop struggling. If you still want to live well. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm just reminding you, well-intentioned." As he spoke, he turned his horse's head.

Watching him disappear into the darkness made me feel a little worried. In this way, Oliven has more than one me by his side......

And I, on the other hand, never found out......
