I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The King was offering a member of the Assassins' clan a new home in the royal palace.
"Brother, please rethink this decision. Don't allow this devil spawn to live in the castle." The man standing next to the King said.
"Gerard, she might be the daughter of that vicious lair, many lives in this kingdom were lost because of them. But is that a reason to kill her? A child?" The King asked his brother, with no intention of backing down.
On that day my village was burned to the ground, and my fate changed completely. If someone from my clan saw me living in the castle they would call me a traitor, but I didn't care at all, since the Stollen clan wasn't known for their honorable values. That night I had the choice between the light and the darkness, and stepping away from the shadows, I went to the castle and became Alicia's bodyguard.
