"Come on love! we are going to miss it!" The husband said to his beloved,
She answers with a yell "I'm almost ready. Go get Mariah, she's in her room, she should be done by now."
The man went upstairs fixing his trousers along with the steps,
"MARIAH! MARIAH!" He called out,
"I'm coming!" She answered back with a yell.
She gets out of her room, her father takes her arm and goes down the steps together with his child, The mother who is also finished. They opened the door and they were greeted with pink and white flower petals flying everywhere. The people cheer ecstatically as the king and his family ride through on their royal chariot, his wife to his left and his child in the middle of them. Waving to them after winning the battle of Rakka.
Meanwhile, on the roof of a clocktower, a man whispers to himself
"Let our performance begin."
As he unfolds his briefcase and reveals an intricate design similar to that of a rifle but not as weak as one, More of a compact cannon in someone's hands.
He puts it against his shoulder.
He starts humming quietly.
Stares down at the sight.
He looks down on the king.
"ONE!"
He yells, breaking his humming with a shot.
All the masses don't break into a state of panic, they seem to think the loud bang is from a firework, when in reality the man has just shot the queen, now the king is in a state of shock and disbelief.
The king yells out to the carriage driver "GET AWAY FROM HERE! HURRY!"
The carriage driver turns around and witnesses what has just happened. He starts whipping and yelling to his horses "GO! GO!"
The horses listen and start slowly building up speed.
The king tells his son calmly to get down and put his arms around his ears and head.
But it wasn't enough.
Because back on the rooftop the mysterious man releases his second shot and once again yells
"TWO!"
but this time he misses the king and hits the husband through his neck standing close to the carriage.
The masses realize what the loud bang was after the body drops infront of them. And one by one starts to panic and spread out.
A Third shot can be heard but this time it hits the king on the left side of the chest incapacitating him and he falls on the floor of the carriage next to his son.
Mortified, his son calls for his father only to hear him say
"This is a Torsilians doing. Avenge me, my son. Protect our people and be a good king"
The son, now in tears not knowing what to do but to only forge that promise he says "Yes father, i will be a good king." As his father closes his eyes, life fading away from him.
Once again the son hears the fourth shot, but this time aimed at him.
The carriage is now faster than the man had predicted. The bullet only grazed off the top of the prince's nose bridge, but the bullet hit the metal carriage behind him and broke off into shrapnels hitting his left eye, blinding him.
