When silent still goes around the castle, all the Kruno folk could feel the tension. Death of the most respected figure of these lands, her heir's sudden declaration in the funeral, a group which includes an enemy family from capital. Everybody in the castle was holding their guards tightly.
Kasren was quietly sitting and thinking in his chamber and Sinistri suddenly knocked the door.
Kasren: Come in please.
Sinistri: I hope I didn't disturb you, your highness.
Kasren: Not at all, Is there a problem you want to tell me?
Sinistri: Not a problem, I am just hoping to have a talk with you. I came here with a request and wanted to discuss it with you your highness.
Kasren: I will orginize the meeting and let you know. We can regroup together after a few hours.
Sinistri: I will be in there your highness. Thank you so much.
Sinistri left the room. Kasren smiled just a little bit and took a deep breath.
Kasren: Yyuer, Is everything ready?
Yyuer appeared in front of him and nodded her head. Kasren spoked with a little smile.
Kasren: Thank you for your your efforts. I guess, I will never get used to your ability.
After a few hours all the figures who needed for this meeting called.
Kasren: Thank you for coming fastly. Lors Sinistri wanted this meeting to happen. He said he have a topic to discuss. I guess you also know this Sulin.
Sulin: Yes brother.
Kasren: We are listening you Sinistri.
Sinistri: Your highness, I will come straight to the point. You know that our kingdom is at war right now. So many noble man sacrifice their life for us even right now. We are in a dire situation and urgently need manpower. I am asking from you to prepare warrior units and send them to the borders as soon as possible on behalf of our kingdom.
Fraurin felt a sudden anger from every part of her body. She couldn't hold herself and started talking.
Fraurin: Our folk always had a special treaty with the royal family. We would never go ward unless we want and took the initiative to participate
She was talking with a calm temper even though her anger.
Sinistri: Of course I know about the treaty but our people needs your assistance. We feed and protected you, now you have to pay your debts to the kingdom.
She couldn't hold herself back anymore and started to shout.
Fraurin: You wicked liars. We don't even have food to eat, our children are dying from hunger and you are talking about feeding and protection.
Commander Trusin: Lady Fraurin, you are crossing the line. Lord Sinistri is the heir of the second powerful family in the kingdom. Watch your words. I can understand that you are his highness Kasren's teacher but I can't tolerate anymore insult towards Sitra family.
Fraurin: Are you threatening me right now?
Trusin: I am just doing my duty. I am just warning you to do your duty too. Take the order from my Lord.
That was a direct insult towards Kasren. A commander from Sitra family warned Kasren through Fraurin to take the order.
Kasren interrupted the speech.
Kasren: I can see the situation Lord Sinistri. However, I must decline your request. We don't have enough warrior to protect ourselves from even wild animals. So, we can not depart our warriors to the borders.
Sinistri: You are lying your highness. We have the reports of you which saying you secretly increased the number of your soldier and gave them harsh, proper training.
Fraurin: How dare you to say that? You have no rights to ask soldier from us. What we do in our land is only our business. Your highness, our guest should leave. We can't accept their request.
Sinistri: You have no other choices my lady. You are connected to our kingdom as a vassal state and when we ask about reinforcement you have to accept our order. You have no power to refuse.
Kasren: Shut your mouth for a minute you snake.
Sinistri: What is the meaning of this Kasren?
Kasren: Leave my household while you still have the chance.
Sinistri: I won't leave until I take what I want Kasren. This is your last chance. If you won't accept our request you and this barbarians will face your behavior's results.
Kasren: Do you want to die Sinistri? Right here and now?
Trusin drew his sword and pointed at Kasren.
Trusin: Pull yourself together your highness. We came here with the respect of the royal family. We don't respect you, we respect your royal blood. Even though you carry the dirty blood of Kruno you are from the royalty. This is our last warning.
Sulin started to feel scared and spoke for the first time.
Sulin: Trusin please be calm. Sinistri do something.
Sinistri: Sulin, you are not here as a princess. You are here as a fiancee of the Sitra family. Behave like that please. Kasren, will you continue with your temper? Or accept our order?
Kasren: You can't take anything from me Sinistri.
Sinistri: We will see about that. Trusin, arrest Kasren immediately.
Trusin: At your order my lord. Pardon me your highness.
Trusin took a step forward and couldn't move more. Everything happened so fast. Yyuer came from the shadows and firstly cut his right wrist which holds the sword. After that, she cut his neck with her sharp dagger. Just after a second, Trusin died and whole room covered with his blood.
Everyone became shocked and couldn't say or move at all.
Kasren: Now!
Five people came from the shadows and killed all the guards of the Sitra's and royal family's.
Sinistri: What have you done? Are you out of your mind?
Sulin: Brother, just why did you do that? You took such a big trouble for yourself. Please stop.
Kasren didn't talk. He only got up from his seat and walked. He held his dagger and cleanly cut Sinistri's throat. He died instantly.
Kasren: Fraurin take Sulin to her chamber and come back. We should make our new plans for the incoming troubles.
Fraurin: Yes your highness.
