Andrea heading towards her 'Bluecopper' inn thinks about her past , a very disturbing past.
20 years ago, Andrea was 3 years old at that time, her mother Lady Vanessa Stormbell a woman , so beautiful that even the goddess of beauty will hide her face, pale skin, long silky golden hairs, red eyes, she was a true beauty of the entire empire.
Vanessa was very caring of her daughter Andrea, she would play with Andrea occasionally.
Vanessa wasn't any ordinary lady of a noble house but she was a saintess from the holy nation of Gods "Vatican". When she was on her way towards the imperial academy for her education , she met a young master, Andrea's father the heir to the Stormbell family, Zen Stormbell, a man with blue hairs, a tall and very handsome young man.
Vanessa fell in love with the young master Zen but because of her being a saint she couldn't marry him so they decided to flee from the academy and marry each other.
The news of their marriage reached the high priest council of the Vatican the holy nation, all the high priest enraged by it hired severt assasins to assassinat the young Zen Stormbell but because of the warriors in Stormbell manor they couldn't do so.
After Andrea was born, both Zen and Vanessa became happy. They both thought that their life will get better. But it wasn't that easy.
In the garden behind the Stormbell manor, filled with many beautiful flowers, a very big fountain in the middle with multiple swings for Andrea. Vanessa was playing with Andrea as usual but she didn't know it was her last day of playing with Andrea.
The order of assassination
The elders in the Vatican holy nation wanted to bring Vanessa back no matter the cost, after failing in assassinating the Zen several times they thought about kidnapping Vanessa but they wanted to erase every thing related to her outside the boundaries of holy nation, they called for the one who has never failed in any assassinations, the one who is know as many names, 'The night rider', 'Death king', but the most famous name was "ASSASIN KING".
assasin king came to meet the elders at night, he was very tall, his hands were long, he had a hunged back, he was wearing some long metal claws in his hands, when he entered the court no one sensed his presence, he walked passes the guards and sat on the middle of the meeting table, he was so fast that everything around him stopped, it was as if the time itself has stopped. Every elder present in the court were shocked after seeing the assasin king sittt in the middle of the table without anyone being able to notice.
'So you've arrived, Assasin king. ' first high priest, Cyrus sade said with sweat on his forehead.
"Kekekekek..... It's fun to see all the old geezers gathered around here and not even one of them could sense me, not even those so called best guards, it's fun. Khwahahaha. " The assasin king said while laughing like a maniac.
"So why did you guys call for me. " The assasin king asked while rubbing his chin with his claws.
"We want you to kidnap someone". The third high priest , Hugo Sendells said while throwing a picture of Vanessa towards the assasin king.
" Hmm... Interesting, so I have to kidnap the saint, wow, kekekeke." Assasin king said while laughing.
"50 million gold. Give me the gold in advance and I'll kidnap the saint and will give her to you." Assasin king said with bloodthirsty eyes.
"50 million gold coins, that's too much." The second high priest, Dylan Osiris said.
The assasin king while releasing his bloodthirst said 'Do you think intruding in Stormbell manor is easy, there are 3 Swordmasters including that young master Zen, even if I'm at the level of a Swordmaster, facing three at once is a different story. '
The first high priest, Cyrus says 'fine we'll give you the money but only the half, you'll get the other half after completing your mission.'
'Fine, I will complete my mission soon, there's an event held by the emperor where all the Swordmaster of the empire will gather for the strategic meeting, that's the perfect time for me to kidnap the saintess.' The assasin kings says while sharpening his claws- SHRING SHRING.
He disappears immediately, while the elders wait for their saintess.
The Bloody Day.
The Swordmasters of the Stormbell family left for the capital while Vanessa and Andrea stayed at the manor. As usual Vanessa was about to go and play with Andrea but right outside Andrea's room, the assasin king was standing , he rushed behind Vanessa's back and made her unconscious . He immediately left with Vanessa.
Andrea waking up from her bed, she was looking for her mom, she came outside calling for Vanessa.
"MUMMA"
"MUMMA, Where are you "
No one answered, she goes towards the main Hall, there she sees that all the maids, all the servants and all the guards were killed and thrown on top of each other making a mountain of corpses, seeing this Andrea collapses, and faints.
The sight was so gruesome that the 3 years old Andrea couldn't wake up for days.
When the Swordmasters returned, all of them were shocked by seeing the death of their soldiers, maids and every living being in their manor not even the cats were alive.
They all rushed inside just to see a pile of corpses. Zen rushing towards the staircase sees Andrea unconscious he takes her, and tries to find Vanessa, but she was nowhere to be found.
Zen's father Marquis Ren Stormbell said, "it's the work of the assasin king, I know these claw marks. Someone hired him to kidnap Vanessa."
The Swordmasters now standing near the pile of corpses, every soldier in their manor is dead, all the maids are dead, only Andrea survived but she's unconscious, the trauma of that day still haunts Andrea. The disappearance of her mother, the death of all the soldiers and servants in the house.
