They hold a tight reins over the whole of European, their influence were so strong that it even reached the Asia pacific.

Caston which is a big financial conglomerate that has a tight hold of various companies, their a conglomerate owned by the Walker's. From year before the Walker family has been a name that is fear and awed by everyone, since they have decades of history.

It could be said they are off royalties or far beyond, hence. They were eyed by many, such as the government officials that painstakingly wants them to go down. Since the Walker has the final says in everything, but it all changes when there was an internal conflict.

-----------

5th of August 20XX, the year where the massacre happened.

Powerful families has their own complications, it was the year where the throne was switched to a new person.

Nobody knew what happened or who was behind the massacre, but what little information they got was that the assassins sent to annihilate the Walker. They had a snake tattoo, it was the only clue behind the massacre.

The Walker stretched far beyond, hence. killing or even touching them was nearly impossible, but it does not mean they could not aim at the main ruler. Karin Walker the mother of Robert Walker, she was the power behind the Walker.

Which was also the main target for the assassinations, it was a rainy night. The place where the Walker's stayed was as big as a castle, there was a banquet. Where most of them were gone to, the ones left was Karin Walker, Rosy Walker, Julian Walker and Fedrick Walker.

Rosy Walker was the daughter of Karin, Julian Walker was the eldest son while Fedrick Walker was the Father of them. He married to Karin Walker, and stayed by her to help manage the big conglomerate.

"FIRE!" Guards came running towards the fallen castle, beyond the gates were dozens of dead people. It was a gruesome scene to behold, one could imagine how much it would put a toll on the mental ability if seen such a scene.

"STOP THE FIRE!" Arriving at the scene was Robert Walker who was at the banquet, keeping hold of the event.

His hands shook when he arrived at the main hall, where he saw his mother, sister, brother and father dead. His mouth agape, kneeling on the ground not knowing what to do. Though there was still gunshots and slashing sounds heard, he could not be bothered with that.

All he could register was what was in front of him, his face mirth with deep regret.

"I told you, did I not." Luciella who came with his father, spoke with a eerily calm tone.

She stood there with her lifeless eyes, neither sadness nor despair. Her face that was unimaginably white as though she was a vampire, was now marred with blood. Her hands were holding onto a gun, since she killed her way through to the main hall.

"I...I..." Robert could not utter a single word, since he knew it was him who brought this bloodbath. "All these happened due to your cowardice, you shall live with that for as long as you are alive." Luciella looked down at her father, with a looked without any emotions.

"Master, we shall follow your orders from here on out!" Dozens of Guard with the Walker's crest knelt down on the ground, as they swore on their life to protect and abide to Luciella.

Since Karin Walker has set a rule, if ever the one who rules dead. The successor must be a female descendants of Walker, and the one who would inherit that was Luciella whose name was actually Elina Walker.

"Are there any....living." her heart beat increased as she wished someone was, she who was 16 years old then. She did not wished to be forcefully placed at the throne, "Regretfully, No." The captain of the guards replied.

"Help my father to rest and clear the hall, make sure no one enters."

"We shall follow your orders." The guards said in unison before respectfully carrying Robert Walker out.

"I...I'm sorry.." The last thing before Robert got escort out, he could only apologized.

The door to the main hall was closed, as the gun she was holding dropped with a heavy thud onto the ground. Her hands quivered, as she bit onto her lips. 'One day you will know what I mean when I said, never to trust anyone.' the words keeps resounding in her ears, those clear yet sultry voice of her grandmother.

Karin Walker had once told her to not trust anyone, the looked she gave her was one that knew everything. She looked at her with a saddened look, as she held her hands tightly. She did not know then, but now she knew what she meant by telling her that.

Everything came crumbling down, she did not know what to do. She has no qualms to what to do, she did not have any idea nor knowledge to.
