Assassin's Requiem
Volume 2 End:Chapter 10

Requiem fell silent, unable to believe what he saw before his eyes. The prince, who has been considered the target of his killing for months, is now revealing a huge conspiracy that is harming the entire kingdom.

Requiem stood in the corner of the room, hiding in the shadows, and listened intently as Prince Frederick informed him of his brother's evil plans, King Alexander.

"My brother planned to invade the neighboring kingdom and expand our territory. He's already asked for the support of some nobles and secret agents, and I'm sure he'll take action in the coming weeks."

Requiem pondered in silence. This was a very dangerous situation, and if Prince Frederick did not succeed in stopping his brother's plans, then the entire kingdom would be embroiled in a terrible war.

"But I have no power to stop it myself" said Prince Frederick, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. "This is the address of some people who might be able to help us. I've written to them, please take this into their hands and ask them to help me."

Requiem grabbed the letter from Prince Frederick's hand and looked at its contents. There was a list of names of people he did not know, but it seemed like they were people who had the strength and skills needed in this kind of situation.

"Well, I'll go" Requiem said. "But remember, if your brother finds out about your plan, he'll kill you mercilessly."

"I know the risks" replied Prince Frederick calmly. "But I can't let this kingdom be destroyed just because of my brother's power and ambition."

Requiem nodded and left the room, entering a cold and dark night. He had to find the people on Prince Frederick's list and persuade them to help.

It was not easy to find these people, but Requiem managed to find one after another, and they all agreed to help save the kingdom. There was a formidable knight, an intelligent mage, and some reliable bounty hunters.

They all gathered in a small town on the royal border, where Prince Frederick had gathered his small army. Requiem and his allies joined the force, and together they planned a surprise attack on Prince Frederick's older brother's forces.

There was no need to wait too long, because by the time they were ready to launch an attack, word came that the forces of Prince Frederick's elder brother were attacking the borders of the kingdom. Without hesitation, Prince Frederick immediately ordered his troops to go and defend the border. Requiem and his new allies, who had watched the battle from afar, agreed to help and protect the kingdom from the attack of Prince Frederick's older brother.

They joined the royal defense forces and helped to counter the attacks of Prince Frederick's older brother that had already spread across the border. The battle was fierce and dangerous, but Requiem and his new allies were able to take a pivotal role in the face of enemy attacks. Requiem proves to be highly skilled in one-on-one combat, while his new allies help with their powerful magical powers.

Requiem and his new allies feel that they have been caught up in a war gone wrong, and decide to find out the truth behind the conspiracy. They seek to solve the mystery, even if it means having to take greater risks and fight the army themselves.

At the end of the chapter, Requiem and his new allies finally discover a shocking truth. They discover that the real Prince Frederick is the victim of a conspiracy committed by his own brother, and he is innocent of the charges brought against him. Requiem and his new allies are committed to helping Prince Frederick restore his reputation and prove his innocence, even though that means having to face even greater consequences.

Thus, the chapter features a surprising plot twist and introduces a larger conflict, which will be explored further in later chapters.

Without hesitation, Prince Frederick decided to postpone the plan of the attack and ordered his troops to retreat and assist the border defences. Requiem was relieved that he would not be involved in the violence again, at least for now.

However, the situation at the border was much worse than they had imagined. Prince Frederick's older brother's army turned out to be much stronger and more trained than they had anticipated. They managed to encircle the border town and forced the royal army to endure a fierce battle.

Requiem felt fear because he did not know if they would survive this battle or not. However, he also felt guilty for feeling that he should be able to help in this battle. Prince Frederick felt the same way and felt that he had to protect his people.

As the battle heated up, Requiem and Prince Frederick decided to join the royal forces in battle. They fought tenaciously and managed to assist the royal forces in defending the border town. However, their victory was not easy and many victims fell.

After the battle was over, Requiem and Prince Frederick pondered their experiences and felt that they had learned a lot about themselves and about courage and sacrifice. They also realize that there is more to this world than ambition and power.

Requiem and Prince Frederick vowed to continue working together to protect their kingdom and to protect their people. They realize that friendship and trust are the most important things in their lives.

Finally, Requiem continues his mission to kill the man responsible for the death of his family. However, he no longer did it in the same way as before. He chose to take wiser actions and consider the consequences of each action he took.

Requiem realizes that he is not alone and that he has friends who will always help him in every step he takes. He vows to defend the kingdom and protect his people, and become a better and wiser assassin.
