Giovanni took a pause as he collected his thoughts again, sighing once he was finally ready to continue. ”She died shortly after giving birth. Though I was never able to make her my wife, I swore I’d make sure the kid wouldn’t need anything.” Kenzo listened attentively to Giovanni’s story without muttering a single word. It was not his place to say anything after all. However, the impending silence meant the noble wanted him to prod him to continue. ”And I guess something happened to the boy, is that right?” Asked the mercenary after taking a sip from the tea.
”You are correct. As such, I need to visit him myself. I’ve been receiving death threatening letters, telling me they’ve found out about my secret. I need to confirm his wellbeing.”
The conversation between the two men dragged for a short while longer. Mainly focusing on the details and stuff over Kenzo’s payment. As wealthy as Myras was, Giovanni didn’t want to hire just any bodyguard. Once he’d learned that Kenzo was around, he knew his best bet was to hire the mercenary guild master. For the blue haired swordsman, it was all the better. The money was quite good after all. Once they descended to the Lower District, the mood instantly changed. Even if he had expected it, there was something amiss. They were dragging too much attention to themselves, in suspicious amounts. They had taken the highest precaution measures, making sure only a small group of people knew about their plan. As such, there was no plausible way they had been caught so easily. Whatever what was going on, Kenzo was sure Giovanni had been double crossed.
Alas, Kenzo’s biggest fears came into fruition. After doubling to the right in an abandoned corner, a group of armed men ambushed Kenzo and his client. Regrettably, there was nothing for the mercenary to do but cut them down. ”There is something going on…” He commented to Giovanni as the two of them found for a safe spot.
