The nightshader of the king

2

Berry could now clearly see the fear in the knights eyes. The knight opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. Berry looked the man up and down. He didn't look much older then Berry himself. "Berry you can chose were you want to do it and how big it is." The leader said. Berry wanted to make sure that it was obviouw that he was now claimed by the nightshader. But he didn't want to mess up the man to bad. It was weird sinds normaly Berry would always go out and murder people when the leaders asked him to. he would just need to murder them but for fun he would always torture them before he would slice there throat, but now with the man that had killed his father. He suddenly didn't want to do that. He didn't understand it, but he just couldn't do it. He removed a piece of armor that the knight had around his underarm. He lifted up the man's sleeve. "You have two choices. Or you give us your name. Or we will make sure that everyone know's that we claimed you." The leader said. The knight opened his mouth and closed it again. Berry put the knive on the knights skin and pressed slightly to warn the knight that he didn't have much time. "My name is William. William Smid." The knight said quickly. "That is a pretty name." Berry said loud enough for William to hear it but to soft for the leader to hear it to. William became flustered. 'Cute' Berry thought to himself, before shaking his head. Cut it out, he killed your father you can't think stuff like that.  "William Smid, Great. Berry, I want you to make yourself ready for a journey you are going somewhere." The leader said. Berry stood up and nodded before he left the tent. The leader walked towards William and stopped infront of him. "I am sending you with Berry. Don't tryanything funny. Berry is our most skilled killer. But he likes to torture his victims before he slaughters them. He might be small and young, but he is bery dangerous. I can promise you that if you try to escape or do anything. You will meet a very grusome end." the leader said to William. William didn't really like the sound of that. "I am sending you two to the castle. I want you to help Berry get close to the king so he can kill the king. I know the king trusts you so I am sure he will let Berry work there if you aks him to." William didn't answer, he didn't want to do that. He had always been loyal to the king. But it didn't seem like a good idea yo him to say something like that to the leader. Berry came back into the tent. "Sir I am ready." he said. The leader untied William and tied his hands behind his back before handing the rope to Berry. "You need to take him with you. Head to the king's castle. He know's what you are supposed to do there. If he refuses to tell you... you know what to do." The leader sat before waving his hand and motioning for the two to get out of the tent. Berry walked to his horse dragging William after him. Some of the other nightshaders looked there way. Berry untied Williams hands and tied them infrotn of him. Then it was easier for him to get the knight on the horse. Berry helped William on the horse. Before getting on himself. They left the camp behind. Berry hadn;'t expacted this to happened when he left the inn this mornig. he had searched that village for the knight and couldn't find him. He had thought that when he would get back to the camp. He would just get another mission and need to go kill someone. Normaly that was al he did. He went from place to place. He would say he was a musician and at some point during his stay he would kill his target. He would leave two days after he had killed the target. If he would leave immediatley after killing someone they would suspect him. It had always worked. Nobody ever suspected him. "The leader said you knew what I am supposed to do in by the castle. So tell me." Berry said. "You need to kill the king. I am supposed to help you win the king's trust so that you can kill him." William said softly but just har enough for Berry to hear it. First William had wanted to lie to him about what his mission was. But he was sure Berry would figure it out if he had lied and that would cause more problems. So he had decided to just listen and help him for now.
