Year 800

"Waaa... Waaa... Waaa..." The baby cried as the light from the ceiling light overwhelmed and blinded him.

"Haha! That's my boy, strong and energetic from birth!" The 6'4" man towering over the bed chuckled as he bellowed.

The man has short spiky red hair and a stern yet warm face. A black scarf could be seen coiled around his neck and fell down to his right chest while a black majestic cape with the imprint of a crown fell down from his shoulders.

The woman sitting on the bed looked deathly pale. All her strength was drained out of her and all she wanted to do was to close her eyes and rest. However, she forced herself to keep her eyes wide open to take a deep meaningful glance at her cute newborn baby boy.

She wanted to take him into her embrace the moment she saw him and she stuck out her hands excitedly, signalling to the doctor what she wanted.

"Now, now. Calm down, you can carry him soon enough!" Saying this, the doctor cut off the umbilical cord and gave him to the nurses for a thorough cleaning.

The white-haired woman, slightly disappointed took this opportunity to close her eyes and get some rest.

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Williams, you have given birth to a healthy baby boy. Mr Williams, you may now proce-" Before the doctor could finish, countless bullets came flying through the window.

"Hmph! Child's play" Mr Williams remarked as he caught all the bullets with his bare hands and proceeded to grind them all into dust with a clench of his fist for a display of power.

"What!" Mr William suddenly sensed an evil and malicious aura near his wife and immediately rushed towards it, propelling himself backwards with his feet before turning his head to look.

Alas, it was too late.

The black dagger coated with green poison was 1 millimetre away from submerging itself into Mrs William's heart.

Mr William could only watch the scene as it played out in slow motion as despair filled his very being. The woman he loved so dearly was about to not only be robbed of her life but also have her dream of embracing her newborn baby to be crushed.

"Splish..." The blood came flowing out and the deed was done. The woman was startled awake for a brief second, tried to take a deep breath but once again became unconscious due to the extreme pain and shock.

The assassin dropped a red-coloured skull head card and hurriedly merged himself with the shadows on the ground and disappeared, retreating back to the Cave Of Shadows.

"A rank Assassin, Carloz Dan, is the mission successful?" the dark shadow asked.

"Indeed it was master, the second child of the light magus has been eliminated."

The dark shadow merely nodded and vanished.

A pity indeed it was for Carloz Dan.

He was skillful, extremely skillful at the art of deception and murder. However, he never really did enjoy reading.

Carloz Dan merely skimmed through the mission details and only focused on the main goal "Kill Sarah Unhearth" and paid no heed to everything else.

A pity for him indeed, a dent on his flawless record.
