   The king sat in his throne clenching the dagger in his throat, watching as the assassin kills his family and anyone else in the throne room. The king tried to formulate words but the assassin shoved the dagger further into his throat. 

“Death to all who are corrupt.”, whispered the assassin as he left a rose on the king’s lifeless body.
    
    The sun gave life to the city and its unfavorable tenants as it stared at them  below.

“Hey Felix did you hear?”, yelled the boy, poking his friend who was laying down under a tree reading.
“Hear what Marcus, what are you babbling on about this time.” replies Felix still reading his book

“The king is dead. It happened last night after the feast. They say it was mystic rose.”, Marcus said hovering over Felix like a madman.

“The assassin group that no one conveniently has any evidence they actually  exist.” Felix said peering over the top of his book.

“Then how do you explain the rose that was left behind. There was a rose on the late duke’s body and onn on that street lord from across the city.”

“Just a happy coincidence i guess.”

“regardless you got to hand it to them, they sure are making the city safer.”

“Yeah but they are weong for doing so. We have laws to protect its citizens and punish those who break the law. No one is above the law no matter how right you believe you are.”
