Skewered

[FlemishSupremacy 6115]

Parliament had finished its latest session, and after a conversation with Fabius Bracchus, Alfred headed to his home to collect a set of rings, meant for one Ostrobor Carrion.

He took his horse to Belvitz, tieing it to a nearby post as he dismounted and entered the settlement, his thoughts temporarily drifting to the death of his cousin, Albert, in this very town... How he despised Belvitz, with it’s high elven population... How he thought it didn’t represent the values of his so fair empire.

He knocked on the door to the house the Carrion had told him to meet, and was met with a smile, being invited in and told to sit... A few lines were exchanged, primarily about the price of the rings, with Alfred showing his masterfully crafted jewelry to the presumed buyer. Suddenly, the Carrion dove to the ground, and a closet door opened, and out came 4 armed men, bearing crossbows. They took aim, and fired their bolts, most digging into Alfred’s thick, dragonbone armor, but one slamming into his skull, instantly killing him as he let out a suprised shout. 

His last thoughts drifted to his wife, who he’d soon rejoin, but also to his children, who had in quick succession, lost both their parents.

 

Upon his desk, there’d be several documents, which might be released within the coming days, by the family of the dead knight.
