Assassination

Next morning, Xin and Otohime walk in the Plaza while carrying a bunch of paper, this paper is their signature for her request.

The merfolk look at Xin, Poseidon, and Shirahoshi who follow her along the way, they all know that Queen Otohiem has 4 children.

They are all confused, the two girls look exactly the same as Princess Shirahoshi, but they are slightly different as they both walk using their feet.

On the other hand, they are confused at Xin, they know that they hate no white-haired kid on Queen Otohime's children.

In the middle of the plaza, Queen Otohime raises a piece of paper, a piece of paper that can change the whole situation of Fishman Island.

Of course, this piece of paper needs people to approve it, and the Queen only needs the merfolks signature for their approval.

But something is slightly different, Queen Otohime did not encourage them to sign on the agreement but to think what hill would happen next if they signed it.

She knows that there's a hidden danger followed by this piece of paper, maybe the whole Fishman island will go to be a feeding ground for those Slave Hunters.

But she still insists, to push this piece of paper forward for the future generation, not only for herself and children but for others too.

And after that, the first day of agreeing sign slightly cold, all of the merfolks go home and start to think the pros and cons if they accept and sing that paper.

After that, another day passed, and just like yesterday Queen Otohime stood in the plaza and started pricing the two people, not just preaching but giving them the knowledge that they needed to know about this agreement.

And after that, she walks back to the palace, but to her surprise, a group of children walk at her and pass a piece of paper that they sign, this children don't fully understand why they are doing it but they know that they are doing it for their own future and for a greater change.

And day passes until the last day of preaching if Queen Otohiem can still get their signature the contract will be invalid.

After all, she already feels powerless about her own idea, and on the last day, something terrible happens, the whole plaza is blazing, the contract that she signed with World Nobles is burning with the other signature of people who want change.

The soldier in the vicinity is trying to put out the fire, the town folks are helping but the fire is already huge.

"Protect the contract, don't let it burn, try to get it."

"No, the fire is too huge! We need more people put out the fire,"

Xin thought,' its starting, even the plot is slightly altered, but the history still continues.'

Out of nowhere a gunshot roared in the plaza, Xin suddenly moved and stood in front of Otohiem raising his hand catching a bullet in his finger.

"WHAT!" The town folks were shocked to hear a gunshot.

"What was that noise?"

"Ahhh!! How terrible all those signatures that we gather are already burned!!"

Queen Otohime looks at Xin who is standing in front of her, she is trembling, she is almost shot down by someone.

"W-What happened, Xin?" Otohime trembling asks.

"Someone wants your life Queen Otohime," Xin said, showing a bullet in his hand.

"B-But… i'm doing this for their own good, I never push them to do it, I even educate them…. But…."

"But.. why?" Otohime doesn't know what she did wrong, she is only doing this for their own good, and for a greater change.

"You don't know that there are people who don't want change, some of them are doing this for their own dream and your idea is opposite of their own idea so eliminating you is their only choice," Xin said.

"Peng!

Xin waved his hand and swatted the bullet flying in the air, this time the guard noticed the anomaly.

"Assassin!! There's an assassin on the ground!! Protech the Royalty!!"

The town folk suddenly snap out, they are angry knowing that someone actually wants to assassinate their own Queen.

The guard hurried to guard Queen Otohime, Shirahoshi, Poseidon and Xin in the middle.

"Fast find the assassin!!,"

"Your Majesty are you hurt!?" The Minister of the Right hurried to ask.

"Hurry bring the medic here," The Minister of the Left shouted.

"N-No I'm fine, Xin blocks the bullet for me," Otohiem absent minded said.

The Minister of the Left and Right look at Xin who looking at same direction and said," Thank you for saving our Queen, Xin-same,"

"Don't mention it, it is much better to catch the assassin fast before he escapes," Xin said.

"Did you see who did this Xin-dono?" The Minister of the Right asks.

"Of course I see it clearly-" Xin wh about to tell who is the culprit suddenly stops hearing a vice in the top of a building.

"A human!! Try to kill our Queen!!" A Fishman who stands on the roof of the building standup while holding a corpse of a Human.

"Hurry take the culprit!!." The Minister of the Right hurries to shout at the guards but it's too late, the culprit is already dead while the atmosphere in the plaza is gloomy.

Xin can see the hatred in their eyes and killing intent on them.

"You are good, you can come with me later and I will give you a good position on what you do this time," The Minister of the Right said.

"Thank you very much," The mysterious fishman then walked in a hurry to leave but Xin stopped him.

"Hey, can you stop, and look at us," Xin suddenly asked.

The fisherman slightly trembles, then slowly looks at Xin.

A grey-skinned great white shark fish-man wearing a guard uniform, he asked," What's the matter?"

"What is your name?" Xin asked.

"Hody Jones, that's my name," Hody said.

"Then Hody-san, do you think no one know what you did?" Xin calmly asks.

Hody shaken, she lightly stepped back while the other confused what Xin said. Hody asked," What.. do you mean?"

"Do you want me to tell all of them what you do?" Xin said.

Hody's face suddenly becomes gloomy, he did not expect that the perfect plan of him is easily seen by this kid, right now he is in a difficult condition that can cause his own life.
