Open 73.5 - Assassin in the Palace Reset (Over!) before 595
Posted: Sat Jun 14, 2008 4:04 am
It has been three generations since the secret plan to hide the king from an unknown assassin who entered the land. The plan had failed and the assassin was the sole survivor of the ordeal. Hope was not lost. The king had an heir, who came of age and had another heir. Soon the monarchy was strong.
It was agreed that the guards were good men and though they failed to protect the king, their lineage was strong. Their great-grandchildren would make able guards as well. But the prophecy was disturbing. It seems the assassin also passed along his seed to succeeding generations. The scholars debated for days whether the propensity for regicide is something learned or something inherent at birth.
In the end, the original plan was followed. If the king could be secreted away and surrounded by guards, all masked, then the assassin would not know who to target. The plan may not have worked last time, but the plan itself was sound. Once again, the kingdom will experience the bloodiest week in history.
