Chapter Text
I made my way into the war room where the king, page, the former king Logan, Ben, Sabine, Kalin, and reaver were standing around the map and waiting for me.
“Sorry I’m late.” I said, walking up next to the king who gave me a kind smile.
“It’s ok y/n. How did you sleep?” The king asked.
“I barely got any your majesty.” I admitted, crossing my arms over my chest and yawned.
“My dear you would’ve slept better if I was there~” reaver remarked flirtatiously and I flipped him the bird, not in the mood for his games. Page turned to him and glared at him. “This isn’t the time for your games reaver!”
Reaver smirked and looked at her. “Oh don’t be jealous my dear we can take turns or have a private party. Just the three of us~”
I picked up a book and threw at him to which he easily dodged. “Damn it.. I missed.” I muttered under my breath, reaver disgusted me sometimes and honestly I’m surprised I haven’t strangled him in his sleep yet.
Ben spoke up. “Guys! This isn’t getting us anywhere!”
I sighed, trying to calm myself. “You’re right.. why are we here?”
Page turned to me. “Nigel ferret is kidnapping children. CHILDREN! When I get my hands on him I’ll-!” Ben put a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her. We all knew Nigel was a sick bastard and we all hated him.. we’ll all except reaver, reaver actually admired his work which made me hate reaver more. The king had set him free so he could get the money for the treasury, he only wanted to keep everyone safe and we understood.
The king spoke this time. “We need to stop him for good.” I turned to him. “Do we lock him up or do we kill him?” I asked, getting surprised glances from Ben, Kalin and Logan but a intrigued look from reaver.
“Capture him. Well put him on trial and bring him to trial.” The king said and I nodded.
“Just tell us where he is! He has one of my dweller’s kids and I promised to get ‘em back!” Sabine said impatiently.
“He’s hiding out in brightwood.” Logan said, he was anxious and pissed with Nigel’s actions like everyone else.
“What? Brightwood is abandon! The only thing there is that farm!” Ben said surprised sense brightwood was one of the poorer and more isolated regions in Albion. I hadn’t been in brightwood for two years, I bought brightwood tower and made it a getaway place but I been so busy with the revolution and the darkness that I didn’t have time to go there.
“It makes sense to hide there!” Page said, pointing at the map, pointing at brightwood actually.
-Time skip-
I was standing at the entrance the old assassin’s guild, where Nigel was. The king put us in groups of two to go in and protect each other.
The groups: the king & Logan, Ben & page, Sabine & bolder, me & Kalin and reaver & kidd. (Who we brought as backup).
We went inside the old guild headquarters and watched our step, me and Kalin climbed some stairs to be everyone’s eyes from above. Lucky there was no guards up there and easily signaled to the others and guided them through the old place. I could hear kids crying quietly and begging to go home only to be threaten by Nigel’s men.
The king led the attack and everyone engaged in a battle, me and Kalin shooting from above. I had gave her one of my guns for this so we didn’t spilt up. Afterwards we got the children and took them back to their family and threw Nigel in jail for him to await trial.
I was honestly exhausted from this and sat down in a chair in living room of the castle, I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the chair, starting to fall asleep and relax slowly. After a few minutes I felt someone kiss my cheek and I knew who it was, I immediately punched reaver in the gullet hard enough to make him grunt and back off. “You asshat!” I growled, looking at him and sitting up straight.
Reaver clenched his gullet and grunted again. “Oh come on!! You had so much fun six years ago!!” He tried defending himself.
“I was drunk!! I don’t even remember what happened!!” I retorted, pointing at him.
Reaver chuckled, leaning down towards me. “I can always show you what happen~” he whispered seductively, smirking and looking me up and down. I growled. “Back off before I break your manhood!!” I threatened and back off, still smirking. “Now. Now. My dear there’s no need for that~” he said calmly, much to my annoyance.
“Oh will you leave her alone you leacher!” Sabine growled, walking over to us and waving his cane at reaver to get him to back up. I stood up and walked behind Sabine as Ben walked in. “Hey! Hey! Sabine!” Ben tried getting Sabine to calm down and I walked away and just wanted to get away from everything, i went to the castle gardens and visited Walter’s grave, sitting down next to it.
“Hey Walter.. how’s sparrow, jammy and swift…?” I asked, knowing I wouldn’t get response. “I miss you guys… I’m sorry you never got to meet her..” I said quietly, Walter was a good friend of mine, he was one of the few people who knew of my daughter’s existence. “She would’ve adored you..” I continued, raven- my daughter was five years old and she had her father dark wavy hair and my brown eyes, she was kind and sweet, very obedient and loved guns and she wanted to be pirate which scared me a little but she was adorable and brighten up everyone’s day. I missed her and knew I would have to go back to Samarkand and visit her and Garth soon. I looked up as the king sat down next to me. “You talking to Walter?” He asked and I nodded, we spend some time talking with Walter and laughing at some old, happy memories. After a few hours and said goodbye to Walter and walked back inside the castle. Ate some dinner and went to our rooms, I locked my door so reaver wouldn’t pay me a visit and laid down on my bed. Slowly falling asleep and planning my next visit to Samarkand to see raven and Garth.
