Chapter 43: Getting a Mission.
" But what? " Lexus asked; he was very interested in that stagecoach because it looks very luxurious, and if she was giving it for free, so be it.
"But my brothers are very, very bad. Unlike you, who’s a justice bringer, they’re harbingers of evil and corruption, so I would like for them to be removed from this world," Annabelle smilingly said. She was in a conflict with her brothers now that the emperor was sick.
"Oh!! They must be very evil if you’re saying it. How many brothers do you have, Princess? " Lexus asked; he understood she wanted him to assassinate the prince so she could smoothly inherit the Empire.
"I’ve only two brothers; I wouldn’t have bothered you with this, but they’ll question me about you and the twenty thousand Kolar gold coins I am about to give you as a friend." Annabelle’s smile was getting broader and broader.
Lexus, hearing twenty thousand gold coins were added to the list, he was more than happy to help the princess because if she betrays him, he’ll slap her to death.
"Very well then, I’ll bring justice to both of them. Did they by any chance rape anyone?" Lexus asked, as his consciousness still won’t let him kill without any reason.
"Many, they’re the scorned sons of the emperor. People hate them because they are cruel and merciless. Just because the princess is a woman, they won’t let her sit on the throne," Arthur Fury spoke with direct language.
"Well then, if a Knight as honorable as you’re saying it, this means they really are bad, alright? The city is huge; give me general knowledge about them and their location, prepare the stagecoach and twenty thousand gold; I’ll be back in some minutes." Lexus said smilingly.
If I build an ally here, rebuilding the duchy will be easier, and it’s a mighty empire; she’ll be a great monarch for sure with her talent’s, and getting food and gold will be a bonus.
Lexus, thinking this, approached the trio. This time Knight was not that alert because if Lexus had ill intentions, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t defend against a single attack from him.
"Lord Lexus, you’re very handsome, I must say," Annabelle said with a chuckle as Lexus was approaching her.
"You’re very beautiful as well, Princess Annabelle." Lexus complimented her back, and four of them walked to the nearest table.
The assassin-looking guy grabbed a piece of small garment and wiped the table clean for them to make plans.
Arthur Fury pulled out a small map from his waist and spread it on the table; Lexus looked at the map and instantly memorized it whole.
This was the map of the whole capital city, Kolar; there were four cross-marked places in it; all of them looked like a small fortress.
"This is Kolar, our capital city. This here, the biggest fortress, is where the eldest prince, Alex, stays. He has a level-800 knight under his command, and you’ll find him here whoring and drinking," Annabelle said while pointing at a fortress on the map.
"So, I’ll just have assassinate both of them, right?" Lexus asked because if there’s a son of the prince, he wouldn’t be killing a baby.
"Yes, just the two of them. Then look here; this small fortress is where the young prince stays mostly. He is now maybe around the place where you gave justice to the local bully and is investigating there, so it would be wise to wait until he returns to the fortress," Annabelle said while looking into Lexus’s eyes.
Lexus was nonchalant about it because he was now very powerful, and he’d just clap those bodyguards and prince; he was worried about innocent people getting killed in the process.
"I am just suggesting you make your own plan and execute it; just inform me in advance when you’re about to be done; I’ll create a chaos so big that you can exit smoothly," Annabelle said with a confident tone.
"Well, does an elephant need a plan before crushing an ant?, It’ll take 20 minutes maximum to kill those morons, so whatever you want to do, you better start it," Lexus said with a light chuckle.
"Oh? Alright, Take this; this is a red flare. After you’re done, just pop it and throw it in the sky." Annabelle raised an eyebrow; her face looked like she was intrigued, then gave Lexus a small red-colored box.
Lexus took the box and then nodded his head in acknowledgment.
"Alright, Sire Arthur, please prepare for ’that.’ I am confident in our new friend Lexus that he can do it; if he really pulls this through, we have to complete our end of the bargain," Annabelle smilingly said to the knight.
"B...but Princess, assassinating the Emperor right after the Princes were killed will put you on the suspicion," Arthur Fury said in a hurry.
"Don’t worry about it, Grand General is on our side, just follow the plan; as soon as you see that red flare, kill my father," Annabelle said without any emotions on her face; she was writing a death sentence for an emperor without even blinking her eyes.
"You’re one ruthless woman. I pity those who have you as their enemy. I’ll be going now. Don’t forget your promise," Lexus said, then slowly walked off the underground hall.
After Lexus left, the trio was looking at each other; Annabelle had a cheeky smile on her face, Arthur was sweating bullets, and the assassin-looking guy looked firm and determined.
"Ezio, you know what to do. Be a shadow and follow Sire Arthur to the palace and end his majesty the emperor. I’ll be in the small castle in the north," Annabelle said smilingly. If her unexpected friend suddenly does what he has promised, then her path to power was just skipped some grueling years.
"B...but your Highness, Are you certain that boy could do it?" Arthur asked; he was actually becoming a companion of an ’usurper.’.
"Yes, I am quite certain in his promise, but let me ask you this: if you face him head-on, do you think you’ll survive?" Annabelle asked while she walked back towards a door that looked almost new.
"N...no, Your Highness, I don’t think I’ll be able to handle his second strike; my sword was shaking. That boy is a great swordsman,regretfully better than me" Arthur said truthfully and followed behind Annabelle.
Ezio, on the other hand, vanished from where he stood, but Arthur and Annabelle didn’t care about it.
"We’re skipping some hard years, Sire. Be sure to give him more than promised and always be on his list of friends. Powerful friends are hard to come by," Annabelle said with a chuckle; her intelligent eyes were darting around as if thinking of her next moves.
"Yes, Your Highness," Arthur replied, but there was still a little bit of reluctance in his voice.
"Sire Arthur, Guess what will happen if he went to my elder brother first? My elder brother has the highest popularity among the high-class nobility, and Grand General won’t mind him at all, so we would have been fucked. Sorry for using bad language," Annabelle smilingly said while taking big strides towards her next location.
