Sophronia's POV

Today is the day, Haytham's funeral it's really hard to see him gone, my father is now the new Grand Master and soon he's going to be dead too. I'm really tempted to tell my father that Connor is going to kill him but... I couldn't do that to him I love the man too much.

I stood quietly next to my father as he says his speech "We gather today to remember a man of peerless vision, who sought to change the world. And change the world he did. Look around. Even now the British prepare to retreat – their spirits broken – their forces splintered. The Patriots leadership shall soon follow – either into our services or into the ground. And then, my friends, all of this will finally be ours!"

I look over to my father as tears fell down my cheek, watching him pace, he always did that when he was upset I know he is going to try and get revenge on Connor and I can't let that happen, I look away to see Connor walking towards us I raise my eyebrows in confusion.

He looks different, cut his hair well shaved the sides off but the look suits him, guards quickly caught Connor pushing him towards me and father, people shouting as he went.

He now stood in front of my father, no worry in his eyes well nothing I could see then all of a sudden he grunts and fall to the floor. It took so much for me not to run over to help him.

"He sent me away... That day at Fort George. He feared for my safety and Sophronia's" my father looks towards me with a smile "but he knew she needed to do this and now she is here alive. I should have stayed. He said there was no danger."

"He was wrong" That's all Connor said and that angered my father.

"We will kill you Connor" I look down and thought you'll try but I won't "This, I swear. Not here, though. Not today. No...First – first, I'll destroy all you hold dear.

Connor's POV

"I'll destroy all you hold dear" I roll my eyes knowing he won't be able to do it as I knew he wouldn't be able to kill his daughter, who is now in tears, it saddened me to see her like this.

"I'll burn that homestead of yours to the ground – and roast the severed heads of your precious "founding fathers" in its flames. And when I'm finished with them, all the rest will burn as well. Your merry band of Assassins. The human refuse that lives on your land. Your village and its people. All of it – gone!"

I smirk slightly as I reply "You can try Charles. But as with all your schemes, this too will end in failure."

Sophronia's POV

"Get him on his feet" My father demands to the guards standing behind Connor with their guns aiming at him. Once Connor was on his feet my father walks up to his so he's face to face with the Assassin.

"He will wait. He will watch. And then – when he's seen all his life's work brought to ruin...Only then I will allow him to die. Take him away"

I watch Connor get dragged away trying to struggle away from them, I couldn't let this happen so I ran the opposite way as I run I pull my axe from my back as I get around the corner I feel guilty hit me as my father shouts to me in betrayal

"Sophroniaaaa!"
