The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

It was the kind of silence that clung to the air , like the terror before a fall from a great height , the kind of silence that male hearts race , To forget was to fall into an irreversible abyss , Only by keeping ones promises could one stand tall like a mountain , admired by all .

Skylar blinked , as if waking from a dizzying , distorted dream .

He lifted his eyes to Lord Southmere , Lord Westeria Lord Northlorn , Lord Pittman , Lord Southville , Lord .

Centara , and Lord Quintana all pillars of Draconia .

He swallowed hard .

After a long pause , he finally spoke , his voice trembling , My lord , I was your head of guards .

I took two bullets for you .

Ive earned my place through battle .

What Im saying is , if our descendants make a mistake , I can compensate .

Just forgive us this once , and I promise next time- Enough ! Rhetts voice thundered , cutting him off .

Whats money ? You cant take it with you when you die ! General Ramsey doesnt want compensation .

He wants justice .

He wants whats right ! Skylar , if thats what you truly think , then youre no better than a landowner ! The people who helped you get here didnt do it so you could become another corrupt landowner .

They did it for fairness , for justice ! Now that you have some money and status , you think you can kill without consequence ? Thats the logic of a thief ! Skylars eyes flashed with something dark .

My lord , if we follow your reasoning , then the Fioris- Lord Southmere snorted .

The Fioris must all die .

For the Dragon Lords sake ! Skylar stumbled back , horror in his eyes .

My lord , you always talk about loyalty , about promises .

Dont you owe me a life in exchange for sparing the Fioris ? Rhett nodded slowly .

Skylar , I once felt some pity for you , But now , our bond is over .

Dont worry, I never owe anyone anything .

If I promised you an explanation .

Ell give it .

Mr.

Josington ! Rhett held out his hand .

Give me the gun .

As Mr.

Josington placed the pistol into Lord Southmeres hand , Skylar quickly drew his own gun and pointed it at Lord Southmere .

Rhett fired two shots into his chest .

At the same time , Skylars bullet pierced Rhetts heart .

Rhett collapsed , blood pouring from his chest .

2/4 The six lords rose from their seats , watching the fallen Lord Southmere , once a hero , now lying in a pool .

of blood .

Mr.

Josington and the lords officers pulled out their own guns , all aiming at Skylar .

Dont move ! Skylar shouted , his voice cutting through the tension .

Within moments , thirty ruthless .

assassins stormed in , guns aimed at everyone in the room .

Rhetts lips twisted into a bitter smile .

Skylar , Ive already given you what I owed you .

I expect you to take responsibility , to stand up like a man .

Dont let our descendants curse us for what weve done .

No ! Skylar shouted , his voice filled with fury .

My life is mine , not some fates to control ! Just because you helped me once doesnt mean Ill let you drag me to my death ! What you gave me .

Ive already returned .

Jaydens voice was full of disgust .

Skylar , youre nothing but an animal ! You remember blocking two bullets for Rhett , but youve forgotten that he gave you a life , food , and half a lifetime of glory ! If it werent for him , you wouldnt have been around to block those bullets .

Youd be dead , hunted by those landowners ! You ungrateful coward ! I should kill you ! Skylar let out a laugh , harsh and mocking .

Too late , my lord .

This villa is packed with explosives .

I was going to take out Robin .

But since youre all siding with him to take me down , I wont stop there .

Ill blow you all to pieces .

When its all over , Ill tell the higher ups it was Robins doing .

Robin , my dear lords , what do you think Ill do then ? Ill be the new lord ! His laughter filled the room .

Before Skylars words could even settle , a blur of motion swept past him , and Robins foot crashed into his shoulder .

Skylar fell hard to his knees , his legs shattering beneath him .

Ah His scream echoed in the room .

He turned , shouting at the bodyguards hed hired , Kill them all ! But the assassins didnt move .

They stood , emotionless , watching Skylars suffering .

They wont fire , Robin said , stepping down on Skylars ankle .

One by one , the assassins fell , blood spilling from their mouths as they died .
