The Mercenary VI

The end of the Order of the Eternal

March 24, 1430. Early in the morning on the Continent of the Old Race. In front of King Saeno's palace in Avis, Kel and Milit walked to Lord Galliare's house. There was no one on the streets, the young couple decided to hold hands and continue to their target. It was early spring, the air was still cold. They had three minutes to get to the house.When Kel felt the ground begin to shake, he squeezed Milit's hand and they ran together.

" We have to stay in the open. "

Kel said as he looked around.

They stayed in the middle of the street and waited for the quake to subside.

Ten minutes passed, which seemed like an eternity to the two of them. They took a breath, calmed down and moved on.

" Is this normal here? "

Kel asked.

" No, I don't remember there being such earthquakes in this part. If we go west or north, yes, but never in this part. "

Milit replied.

" Remind me not to go there then. "

Kel said, relaxing Millet's hand slightly.

The couple arrived in front of Lord Galliare's house, the property was not what, if a person of normal status passed by, he would think it was in his neighborhood.The house is on one floor, a bit long, in front of it there is an unmaintained garden with flowers. And no guard or servant can be seen anywhere.

" Are we in the right place? "

Milit asked.

" We will see. "

Kel replied and stepped forward.

The dwarf followed the small path followed by Milit and reached the front door, which was open.

" Kel ... I don't think we're the only ones on the trail of the lords. "

Militt said, reaching for her small knife attached to her belt.

" Mhm ... let's see what happened here. "

Kel replied and slowly entered the doorway. He approached the small cupboard to the right of the living room next to which there were fallen documents. The dwarf bent down to pick it up while Milit was guarding his back and began to read them.

" By doing so, you agree to sell your land in the village of Terom. "

Kel managed to read , the rest of the document covered was covered in blood.

" We have your full consent to use your name as a scapegoat when we attack the king. "

Was written on the next document.

" If you do not stop coming to see your children in Mirom or continue to spin us, you will suffer. We own you, as we own them. This is your last warning, Galliare, if you do not listen to us, we will send Fleur. "

Was written in the last document.

" What is it , Kel? "

Millit asked after seeing Kel's darkened expression.

" See for yourself. "

The dwarf said and handed the sheets to the woman.

Kel grabbed his ax because he heard a noise coming from a nearby room. Militt could read what was written on the sheets and understood why Kel looked like that.

" Prepare, we are not alone. "

Kel said and walked slowly to the room where the noise was coming from. He reached her, took a breath, and smashed open the door. He jumped into the room and looked around angrily. Milit, who was standing behind him, raised her knife high and jumped forward.
