16 Safe Haven? Byron Mathews

Blonde, wavy hair hangs over a sculpted, worried face. Bulging blue eyes that looks like he has not slept for days, set concealed within their sockets, A beard delightfully complimented his looks. This man is Byron Mathews.

He's impatient, ambitious, and quick. But there's more than meets the eye, not surprising for somebody with his troubled past. He was born and grew up in a decent family in a large port, he lived comfortably until he was about 16 years old, but at that point life changed.

He accidently wounded somebody very important during a terrible disaster and was forsaken by all. With a newfound friend he had to survive in an unkind world. But with his charm and cunning, he managed to go beyond expectations and reach full potential. This has turned him into the man he is today. An Intermediate five Knight.

And yet that was not enough for him, Byron has always been like this. Ever since he worked his way to the servitude for Duke Mason, he was task to look after Alden and be his personal bodyguard. But that was not enough. Byron changed. And not the good kind of change. He sought to get rid of Alden by doing Duke Mason a favor and hoped that he would be rewarded for that.

Anyway, as time passes Byron began to plot with the rest of the people who are meant to serve Alden. They conspired to make his day to day living hell. To put cherry on top, the one who was supposed to be his bodyguard let one of his goons to beat Alden right in front of everyone at the tower castle to witness. He even made a speech about Alden being half blood of a lower class. And even said that he does not deserve be treated as a noble but a slave.

"Hmm Good, Lukas send me the result of the income for this year, I would need to head to Duke Mason Manor in the upcoming days to personally deliver it." Byron spoke.

Lukas: "yes, Lord Byron" He got up and bowed and spoke.

Pleased on how Lukas preferred him the name "Lord", Byron smiled, and spoke.

"Gwen, I have purchased a concoction from a mage, you are to make sure, that waste drinks it. It's a tasteless remedy that will weaken his body, in time, it will render him bedridden for months. Even if a grand Mage were to investigate this, they would not find anything on his body" Byron spoke and throw a crystalized bottle that contains a green substance of sort toward her directions.

The fire element women named Gwen nodded and caught the potion.

"And as for the rest of you, you are to continue your investigation on that runaway Eleven women. The Royal family has now increased the bounty on her head."

Sounded as if this is some sort of a chanted word. All the rest of the people who are inside of the tavern began to whisper with excitement. About six months back, the Royals has suddenly issued a bounty to the Adventure Guild and to all those who have come across an Elven woman. Her description was posted all over the branches of the Guilds. The Rewards was 200 gold and a Baron title.

And as they kept chanting words of praise and hallucinations, little did they know, something so sinister black and obscure has just started to seep its way through the same small screen that the five were seen through.

"Alright" Byron Spoke. silences befell the tavern again.

"Next. Albert, tomorrow before Gwen has given the remedy to the Waste, you are to make another example of him again. This time you are not to hold back" He spoke so calm.

Sitting right next Byron and Lukas, Albert had a face of enlightenment and understanding when spoken too. Then he replied

"don't worry Byron ill make it so tomorrow"

*SHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW*

So fast and yet so accurate. Alberts head has just been ripped off.
