Moment before the execution of alexander. The group of Dark knights were walking to the market in the town of Esmont when they suddenly passed a group of people in the plaza
"what kind of chaos is going on in the plaza?" asked the female archer
"we are here in town to buy food for our group, let's not interfere in their monkey business" male swordsman answered but with the stubbornness of the female archer she still went and found out what was happening
"That bastard killed the quaestor because he envy our mighty kingdom, He should just die brutally" said by the townspeople.
The archer approached near Alexander's whereabouts and she looked at Alexander's eye, she can see that there was a trace of hatred and disgust on Alexander's face, after a while the executioner came came with the judge, while the judge was reading the sentence to Alexander the archer seemed to remember her past when she was also in Alexander's situation, a few seconds later the judge would give the signal to behead alexander but the archer suddenly pulled out her bow and quickly aimed at the executioner's head, when the executioner fell one of the men shouted "The dark knights !!!" the people rioted which caused the destruction of the formation of the soldier which in turn became an advantage to the dark knights
"are you crazy!" the swordsman said to the archer
"I'll explain later now let's save him first" the dark knights quickly took alexander who was unconscious.
"Are you losing your mind and all of a sudden you're interfering with useless things !! We're still lucky with no casualty in our side but we didn't bought anything for our group to eat" the swordsman said angrily
"I'll take full responsibility of my action when we returned to our base but for now listen to what I have to say "the archer amswered
"This man killed a quaestor, which means he has the potential to join our group we will not lose anything if we explain to him what is the intention of our group, and if he does not agree I will kill him myself " the archer added
The swordsman fell silent and ordered the other comrades to quickly return to their base. Alexander woke up in a good bed and his wounds were healed, to his surprise he went straight to the window and he was surprised by what he saw, he was in the middle of the forest far from civilization, in his curiosity he went out of the room and looking for someone to talk to and to ask where the road to the town of esmont was, on his walk he passed people who were training in the handling weapons and farmers who grew fruit and vegetables.
"You're awake" the archer said happily
Alexander looked at the archer he was fascinated by its beauty but confusion still prevailed in his mind "who are you? Where am I? What do you need from me?" alexander asked
"Wooo take it easy I will answer all your questions"the archer answered
"I am Mary and you are at our base in the forest of laprezia we are the dark knights" Mary added
"why did you save me? what do you want from me? Where is the road to Esmont? I have to save my wife!" Alexander continue to ask question
"Come at the meeting room to better understand the situation" Mary took alexander to a room where there were high officers and strong soldiers of the dark knight
"Young man have a sit" said a leader of the dark knight
"I am Sven the leader of the dark knight. Our group's goal is to make the corrupt, exploitative, greedy politicians who use power for personal gain to pay for there wrong doings" added sven
"But I have nothing to do with your group" said alexander in astonishment
" It came to us that you killed the quaestor of esmont who would have been our next target, we also found out that the praetor who was the father of the questor you killed has your wife and killed your tribesmen" Sven explained
"I have nothing to do with your organization. I just want to kill that praetor even it cost my life, I have to save my wife " Alexander said while crying
"How can you save your wife from this condition? the Esmont soldiers are powerful you can't handle them" Sven explained "We gathered all here in this place so that we can destroy the esmonts shitty hierarchy,we have the same goal that is to overthrow esmont "Sven said seriously
" We all want revenge on the greedy politicians of esmont from the tribunes until to the king, we aim to get rid of slavery in the political system and have democracy " sven added
" I know I am not in a position to choose my destiny, I will join you so that I can save my wife from that evil praetor " Alexander said with a scary face.
