Prologue

The stars came out in graceful as they dance across the sky in choreography manner. The moon feels proud been adorn by the stars as it sits gently among them, the forest beneath the sky is basking in the present of the moon ,with it's light shining brightly inside the woods . The forest do not not seem too dark but doesn't mean that danger is not lurking around.

Eros took his time to check around to see if anyone is following him, when he thinks it is clear enough he continues to his destination . The forest seems to be mindful of it's business and the crickets are joyfully singing to be interupting anyone's business.

Eros heard a bit of human voices ahead of him, 'i think that's the den Lambert gang resides in' he thought. The crunch sounds his boots were making making him panic . But still with what on heart to deliver is main concern not panic .

Finally he made it to the den and any action going on seems to cease the moment he entered. A bulky man with a face full of blonde beard and grey eyes looked into his eyes and shivers run through the back of his spine. '' who are you after royal '' he spat with a thick frown on his face

'' Am after Lambert , am here to offer him a job ''
He answered

The den fell into deafening silence, as the the men in the den keep talking in a manner only them are related to . Finally a voice rosed from far off the den . A velvet tone with a thick accent . '' what job it is royal , I heard we are not to associate with high class social elites like you Eros ''

He snorted '' and who said you can'' , he continues '' am here to ask you to assassinate the the king and the queen for me to ascend the throne so that people like you can have your rightful place and freedom''

'' what made thing you can offer that prince '' an old man with a rotten teeth asked sarcastically.

He threw a bag of coins towards them, '' try me and you understand what I feel to belittled even if you royal''

''So you not treated with respect I see'' the bulky man said rubbing his beard. That let Eros looked at him thoughtfully .

'' When shall we be needed on this assignment my prince '' the velvet voice asked

Eros stated '' tomorrow there be a ball in the palace which I know you heard about '' , he withdraws a lengthy map of the from the back pocket of his leather pants and throw towards his left side and walks carefully , high alert in his mind because he was told and heard stories about Lambert and his gang and how smart they can end one's life in one swift move

'' here is the map, everything information you had been provided on it by me and after everything I shall see you guys with your ransom ''

.......... ......

This the night I became king he thought , he sat with with he crossed in the love in his chamber . He was thinking about what the gang might , will it be successful, will his dream come true true urrggh stupid mind he thought struggling with his sanity

It was time to go for the ball which is taking place in the main hall adjacent to the throne room. He takes a long strides as descends from the stairs . The ball is going on smoothly as a soft music is been heard in the background . One could make out the guest are highly dressed in sophiscated manner. There is expensive cologne everywhere both feminine and masculine. As his foot touched the the floor he saw his brother who he despise most wave for him to come over

He head straight and beside his brother Simon as he was talking to one of the elders who belongs to the counsel. '' Elder Francis how's the program of the community school program progress as it it stands now'' Simon asked

'' I think by early next year the we will be done'' Elder Francis answered graceful sure of himself.

Meanwhile back in the den, Lambert and his crew as finalize their plans and heading towards the palace where the ball is the taking place .

They made it half the way and they split up into their various positions, the talented archer was put were he will be able to shoot the arrows to kill perfect as he does during most of their previous assignments .

Meanwhile, at the palace Betty has just arrived and has settled by her husband and king on the throne that belongs to queen which of she is . Betty wore blue gown that hugs hers curves perfectly and looks stunning with a silver stiletto and diamond jewellery to match.

Everything is going according to plan then of a sudden an arrow flew straight and stuck in her skull .
