The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

Martial Arts Tournament at Mount Netheris Varryn lowered his gaze and stayed quiet for a long time . " There's been no trace of Lord Lightborn or the Lightbringer for 20 years . " I've stayed in Rosha , watching for signs from the Dark Woods . " A month ago , the High Priest of the Third Syndicate came to see me . " He brought a message from Caym , telling me to put this dagger up for auction in Hunderra . " When I first held the dagger , I felt it had to be from Earthend .

It carried the same energy as the Dark Woods . " I think Caym wanted it auctioned across all 18 cities to draw you out . He'll probably find out you've arrived very soon . " Yesterday , when I heard someone had come from the Dark Woods near Gyro Castle , I started to wonder if it was someone from Earthend . " I've waited 20 years for this chance . " My father pretended to side with the Dark Syndicate , but his real goal was to wait for Lord Lightborn's return .

" He never got to see the thing he had always hoped for , not even in his final moments . " Before he died , he asked me to keep waiting . If Lord Lightborn can't return to Netheris Domain , then we'll keep waiting . " Our duty won't be fulfilled until the whole Netheris Domain is lit up , the darkness disappears , and people finally get to live freely , equally , and happily . " I have two children . " My daughter just turned 18.

She's trained under the Ninth Syndicate and has already reached Peak Warrior rank . But she doesn't know anything about the burden our family carries . " My son is only 12. He already understands our family's mission is working hard every day at the Light Keep on Mount Zhisall . " If I can't live to see Lord Lightborn come back , then it's up to my kids to carry on the wait . " Mr. Ramsey , you're from Earthend . Have you ever heard of Lord Lightborn ? " Robin shook his head .

He didn't know who Varryn was talking about . A hint of disappointment crossed Varryn's face . He glanced at Robin as if he wanted to say more , but he held back . Robin pointed to the Ritacharm . " Varryn , do you recognize this weapon - or the girl who owns it ? " Varryn nodded . " I heard about a girl , 18 years old , who escaped from the Dark Woods . She was caught by the Dark Syndicate's guardians and disappeared after that .

Rita looked up at their twisted smiles , thinking that if Robin and Daphne were here , those two wouldn't be standing . Her eyes filled with tears at the thought . Mr. Ramsey , Ms. West , I miss you so much !
