Chapter 16 - Vengence

Under the shroud of the pitch-black night, Adrian and John waited until they deemed it safe to embark on their quest for revenge. The moon cast an eerie glow over the landscape as they approached the castle, fueled by the burning desire for justice.

In the shadows, Adrian expressed his thirst for vengeance, ready to risk it all to confront King Alfred. John, loyal as ever, affirmed his commitment to assisting his captain in any way possible. The night cloaked them in secrecy as they infiltrated the castle grounds.

With stealth and precision, they approached two guards, and simultaneously, their blades found the guards' necks. Adrian and John swiftly donned the stolen armor, their figures blending seamlessly into the night. They ascended the castle walls, their gaze fixed on the silhouette of Ajay Thumbstone making his way back into the fortress.

Adrian, sensing the potential threat Ajay posed, shared his concerns with John. "He'll be trouble. We need to deal with Ajay swiftly," Adrian whispered.

John, displaying a determined resolve, assured Adrian, "Leave it to me. I'll take care of him."

Before John departed on his mission, Adrian stopped him, his eyes reflecting the intensity of his emotions. "I'll turn this castle into blood," he vowed, a grim determination etched across his face.

John, understanding the gravity of the situation, simply nodded and replied, "See you later, Captain," before disappearing into the shadows with a confident smile.

As the night swallowed them, Adrian and John embarked on a perilous journey, their paths entwined with the pursuit of revenge against those who had betrayed them. The castle walls whispered tales of treachery and resilience, setting the stage for a confrontation that would echo through the corridors of the kingdom.
