298 Trebor's Tragedy - Part 2

'It's the Emperor's shadow guard. They are here to kill me, father. I haven't even had the chance to talk with the emperor, yet he is already looking to kill me. I don't know how long I can hold on, father. These men are all very strong.'

'But don't worry, I will make you proud.'

Those were the last words Roid had sent back to his father before being brutally assassinated. 

Roid could no longer be contacted, nor could his retainers, letting the family know that their eldest son had in fact been killed. 

In anger, Horom took most of his family's force to attack the emperor. The only ones he left behind were his wife, daughters, and the weaker members of his family.

That was part of the message delivered to Trebor through his talisman. 

'No!' he thought and immediately left the underground quarters of the academy.
