It was a early morning. The sun had finally risen and showered its radiance. The light reflected upon the surface lighting up the day. It was not quiet anymore for the town was more lively ever. And the skies were finally. Xavier stood pointing his dagger at their throat.
" Fine." One of the men said he averted his eyes as his partners looked at him as if he was a betrayer but they did not know that he was doing it for them.
" Hey!" One of the man's partners shouted.
" Shut up! You have a family, don't you? And you do anything to see them again, right?" The man said as Xavier held the dagger at his throat.
They had gone quiet, for them, it was true; they didn't want to waste their lives without seeing their loved ones again.
" People do anything to save themselves even betraying each other, it's disgusting honestly. But what makes you different is that you're doing it for your family in a way I'd do the same. Now spit out whatever suspicious activities you've been doing!" Xavier pushed his dagger closer and closer as beads of sweat ran down the man's face.
Xavier would never kill the man. He wanted to scare him.
The man then took a deep breath and lowered his head downward," Revenge."
" On who?"
" On the whole of Třekov. You bastards murdered our families. Your goddamn knights especially that holy knight!"
Xavier stumped on the man's foot as he leaned forward and made eye contact with the man. "Let's not forget that you're the ones who attacked us. Now tell me, why are you gathering weapons."
" To distribute them to spies. See, we have some spies faking that their members of Attack On Třekov. So we were going secretly hand it out to them so that we can attack from the inside and with the confusion, we also attack at the outsides. That's about it."
" Bastard, we'll hang you!" One of his partners said." Right guys." The moment turned to look at them, they all looked away in guilt for they believed that their families were worth more than pride." Filthy traitors!"
Xavier then left the other man's side and went to the one who disagreed. Xavier then leaned his head right at the face as he placed his dagger around his throat. The man sweated as tears started forming in his eyes even the man's breathing accelerated.
" You're one to talk," Xavier said as he move his dagger from the man's throat.
' Perhaps I'm going a bit overboard but I look so cool!' Xavier's face pushed out the moment he thought the word cool. As the men who were knocked out got back up, they rushed at Xavier with weapons in their hands.
" That's enough!" The one who was called a traitor yelled. He didn't want to see anyone die in front of him while he was helpless and captured. Xavier wouldn't kill them either way.
They all stopped in motion," What? Why would we stop when there's an enemy in front of us?"
" Remember your wife, Rosaria?"
" Why would you bring up my wife?"
" Because we'll lose, it's better getting arrested than dying!"
" Who said I was going to lock you in a cell. As long as you don't bring any weapons and betray them then I no longer need to throw you in a cell. Even if you got out and delivered the weapons, you'd lose to Feran and the rest of the knights anyway. You might even die out there. Deal?" Xavier wanted to make a deal." Oh, and if you betray me, I'll hunt you down myself." Xavier's eyes glowed as a malicious smile formed around his face. He wasn't joking about hunting them down, he'd kill them one by one if something were to happen to anyone such as Vivian, Feran, and Xandyr.
" Fine. Anyone else agrees?" They all shook their heads meaning they were in.
" Now, you're free to go," Xavier said.
As the ice melted, they surprisingly left without attacking Xavier or causing any trouble. Xavier felt respect for one of them.' Now to report this to the knights.'
***
As Xavier wandered around the town, he saw a knight on patrol.' He'll do, doesn't make sense going through the whole town to find a fancy knight.'
" Mmh go away, kid!" The knight tried to scare Xavier away.
" I came across a villainous scheme," Xavier said.
" Oh, and what's it about. And you better not be scamming me!" The knight lectured.
" You remember the ones responsible for holy knight Loy's death? Since we wiped them out, they're plotting revenge."
" Stop spouting nonsense and what proof do you have on that?"
' This guy sounds like a scientist!' Xavier was already annoyed." Ahem! Here's your proof."
As the knight peeked behind Xavier, he saw a barrel of weapons. Xavier had carried it all which was the reason he took so long to reach one knight.
" Haha! Are you sure this doesn't belong to the knights? You little liar!" The man then tried grabbing Xavier.' If only this guy wasn't a knight!'
The moment his hands reach close to Xavier, it was stopped by another. The man who stopped it wore full white armor without a helmet, the Třekov logo in his armor, black gloves, and held a long sword at his waist. He had short white hair which curled in front of his face, a perfect sharp nose, peach lips, neat eyebrows, and indigo blue eyes which looked like a gemstone. He also had a perfect long chin which looked roundish and a toned buff body; his hands were tough and that of a giant's. He also had a smile with shining white teeth. And not to mention, those huge biceps that printed through the armor. He had the knight's arm firmly," My son's no liar." It was the fun, immovable, stupendous, indestructible, lazy, idiotic, and outstanding Feran.
' What's dad doing here?' Xavier looked up at Feran who winked at him.
