I, Cassian Blackheart

"They gave us a name so we wouldn't feel like tools."

-Cassian Blackheart

----------------------

-Year 838, 6 Month, Era of Unity-

---[Holy Parliament, The Doors to the Great Hall]---

Two young adults, dressed in all-black formal wear, were waiting outside the Great Hall doors.

Both are quite calm, but elder brother Samael asks a quite curious Cassian

"Ready Brother?"

Samuel Blackheart asks seriously Cassian, who has a significant responsibility ahead of him.

Cassian nods his head calmly, turning his head slightly towards Samael.

"What about Emanuel and Azrael?"

Cassian asked Samael calmly.

He smiles and speaks in a calm voice

"Your and the Blackhearts' greatest and most significant accomplishment, and you're taking care of those two? Don't worry about them today."

Samael replies, but he sees Cassian and his slight displeasure with the answer

"They'll be there today. They couldn't escape the envy of you being ahead of them. After all, to get the second highest position in the Kingdom, and still so young, who wouldn't be jealous?"

Samael adds, to Cassian's satisfaction.

"With the Whitehearts, I don't understand why they're so angry. They already have the position of Prime Minister."

Cassian adds in a calm voice

"The Whitehearts want it all. That's the problem. Their greed is enormous. At least the current Prime Minister is an exception to the Whitehearts."

Both of them hear the clapping of the political crowd as he finishes his sentence

"Get ready," Samael said, letting out a sigh of slight nervousness

Cassian had not yet finished his conversation.

"The Stonehearts will be the weakest political House. Cassius and Aldar will leave it to t-"

"Cassius doesn't care about politics, and Aldar can't do anything about it. But expect Azrael to fight for the higher ground. That's for sure."

Samuel has already expressed mild disgust. However, he already saw enough satisfaction on Cassian's face.

---[Holy Parliament, Great Hall]---

"And here he comes, the future Marshal and Supreme General of the United Angelic Armies-"

Immediately after finishing this sentence, Cassian and Samael open the massive doors and continue into the Great Hall.

"Cassian "The Black Angel" Blackheart!"

A huge clap of hands rings through the Great Hall. After that Cassian, who gets a huge chill down his spine, proceeds to the lectern from which his Uncle and current Patriarch of the Blackhearts, Georgian Blackheart, emerges.

Samael sits in the seat of the Leader of the Right that House Blackheart controls with a smile on his face and a final pat on the back.

Cassian shakes hands with Georgian and sees the obvious happiness of the moment.

"Show your greatness and the greatness of our House Cassian."

Says an enthusiastic Georgian, who receives an approving nod of the head from Cassian, who stands in front of the counter

Completely calm, he places his hands on the lectern, looking practically everywhere his eyes can see.

Then he turns behind him, where he sees Azmeth Whiteheart, the current Prime Minister of the United Angelic Kingdom, sitting

He nods his head slightly and greets, after which Azmeth smiles.

As Cassian turned back to the crowd of politicians, he was ready to begin his speech.

"His Highness Prime Minister. Leaders of the Right... Left... Center..."

He exhales and slowly wipes his face

"I, Cassian Blackheart, of the House Blackheart, swear to the Seven Gods, the Holy King, and the Angels throughout the Era, my undying loyalty and my oath to protect the United Kingdom of the Angels, and all within it."

"Even though I'm very young, and according to you, inexperienced for the second highest position. There's nothing to worry about. I'm not afraid of difficulties or problems, and I will not allow them to cross this building's boundaries, even if it means my own life. I will face and solve any problems that arise. I will give you, and the Angels throughout the Kingdom, much more security, and the assurance of safety."

He looks seriously at Emanuel Whiteheart, whom he sees trying to hide aggression and anger.

And then he shifts his gaze to Azrael Stoneheart, who, as always, listens to the words of his rival with a calm face.

"Starting today, I am your sword, Your Shield, and Your Guardian Angel, who will protect this continent with all his might."

"I swear for my life."

"I swear by my lineage."

"I swear to the angels."

"I swear to the King"

"And I swear to the gods"

Then he thanks, bows and the crowd applauds.

Cassian smiles when he thinks of one person...

The person who he loves with all his heart...

I only care about you...
