Me and kroft walk in and about ten steps in we finally realised something is wrong.
The doors slam behind us and there's a clanging noise.
The smell of blood and death hits me in the face.
Looking forward I see bodies on the floor and on the throne is an old man with a sword through his chest.
Standing in front of him is a young looking Knight who turns towards us.
"My deepest apologies. You are too much of a threat and my kingdom need a war to survive." he says in a hallow voice before slamming a dagger right into his heart.
"Ah fuck." I sigh.
"Well this is a twist." kroft cackles.
Shouts of assassin and king killer echo outside the doors.
I can hear clangs of armor and weapons and rapid footsteps approaching.
"So do we go the easy or the hard way?" Kroft asks me.
"Of course we go the hard way." I say with a laugh.
he turns and waves his skeletal hand and all the dead bodies in the room start to rise up.
The door to the throne room is blown smashed apart by a massive demon in knights armor.
Before he can say anything he is impaled through the head by my chain.
I wave my hand and 110 zombies in armor start rushing the door.
There's screams and shouts as me and kroft follow the zombie squad out the doors.
The guards were expecting 2 people not 110.
They are overwhelmed instantly.
As they fall kroft revives them and we keep moving any that stand in our way are cut down and added to the growing numbers.
I hear a loud noise and look out the massive window. The giant city gates have come down trapping us inside. Troops are making their way towards the castle at a run.
I aim my arm out the window.
'Flame burst.' a giant ball of fire is launched towards the incoming troops and explodes lighting the nearby buildings on fire.
Me and kroft continue on our path of slaughter.
"Kroft take some zombies and bar the gates." I tell the lich.
"Can do." he says with a cackle as half our number splits off.
"Sasha want to come out and play?" I ask as the young woman slides out of my shadow with her massive scythe at the ready.
"Of course I was waiting for you to ask." She says happily before running off into my group of zombies to kill oncoming knights.
We make our way through the castle one room at a time leaving bloody prints all over the floors with no bodies.
Anyone who tries to fight back is cut down.
We make our way to a massive dining hall where a middle aged man was sitting drinking calmly.
"So your the genius everyone speaks of?" he says putting down his goblet.
"I must say it was a massive miscalculation on my part to not know you were a necromancer." he says with a sigh.
"And who might you be?" I ask.
"The prince and true killer of the king. I don't think I'll be able to fulfill my dream of seeing the city thriving if your here." he says sadly.
"Your right I don't like being framed." I tell him.
"Yeah I'd be upset as well but as you can see I was spot on and you are indeed a threat." he laughs before a scythe splits him down the middle.
"Sasha dear it's rude to interrupt people when they are scheming." I tell the beauty.
"Sorry. My hand slipped." she said with a smile.
I just shrug and keep going.
The final room I enter is filled with women and children.
"Your palace has fallen and I'm taking you all as hostages." I say calmly. "You will follow me to the gates and stop the oncoming troops." I tell them.
"Are you going to kill us?" a little girl asks softly.
"No I am not." I assure her.
"Okay." She says quietly.
They walk out of the room towards the front of the castle with me following them.
Krofts troops have grown by a massive number.
I make my way up the castle walls.
"Hold your weapons!" my voice sounds out loudly over the battlefield magnified by magic.
Everyone stops and looks at me.
"You have two options before you. One lay down your arms and surrender then help out with the chaos around the city. Your king is dead by your princes hand and tried to frame me for it. I have already avenged your king. If this isn't good enough for you or you doubt me. I can just continue to fight and make you undead." I say with a firm tone.
"What about the princess?" someone yells.
"Which one of you is the princess?" I ask the group of women and children.
"Me." the little girl steps forward.
"She's right here?" I say pointing towards the small girl.
"if you promise not to harm her we will surrender." the soldier yells.
"well i don't harm children so?" I wave my hand motioning for them to surrender.
"Do you guys have a queen or something?" I ask the group.
"No she passed a few years ago giving birth to the princess." one of the older women explains.
The soldiers down below toss down their weapons. Before running off to stop some fire that was spreading.
"Big brother are you going to become king now?" the little girl asks.
"That sounds like a really big hassle mannn." I sigh rubbing my forehead. I can't just leave what appears to be a 4 year old in charge of a kingdom.
"Ah fuck my life man." I promise a beating to the king when I get back.
