Prologue
'Why Severus? Why betray your king?' asked a platinum haired man in shock as he stared back at the black greasy haired man he once thought of as a friend.
'My king? tut tut Lucius. For someone who claims to be my good friend you should have known already' remarked Severus as he raised his sword to where Lucius's throat was located and lightly applied pressure to it causing a small trickle of blood to escape.
Lucius winced at the pain and looked straight into Severus's eyes 'Then if you must then please spare my son. He is my only heir' he said in a begging tone.
'No Slytherin are to live today. Those were the orders of my king'
'Bah, your king!? you're a Slytherin born and bred Severus but please you're the godfather. Please Severus'
Severus hesitated in his decision as he gazed at the right hand man of the Dark King wondering what drove him to beg. Lucius has always been a proud man, too proud to beg even but now he is begging to save his son. If only Severus could take a picture of this moment.
A few moments passed as the two men had a battle of wills eventually Severus delivered the killing blow by plunging his sword into the throat causing immense pain and prolonged death so that Lucius would have a taste of what his victims had suffered under the reign of the Dark King.
'Fine I'll do it for your wife but not for you as you don't deserve the Final good deed' Severus murmured to Lucius as he swept off to where a woman lay covering something.
Severus gently removed Narcissa's body and found a bundle within her arms.
It was a baby barely a few months old and was staring at him with it's large innocent expectant eyes. The eyes so innocent caused Severus wanting to hide away from him as he felt too corrupted to be around him.
With a final gaze around the room Severus left the room ready to join a group of scarlet clad knights in the main square.
The knights greeted him with a suspicious look as they still haven't fully trusted him even though with his help they destroyed the Dark King.
'Your highness' greeted Severus giving the king a slight bow.
The king greeted him with a cool scrutiny and quickly dismissed one of his men that he was talking to earlier.
' Thank you Severus for your help in this endeavour and as your reward for helping us you may have whatever you want.'
Severus murmured a quick thanks and looked straight into the kings eyes ' I wish to keep this child for my care'
'Ah, you mentioned you were a godfather of one of these Slytherin children. Well your not the only one since I'm obliged to let the infants live under the order of my wife as apparently she said we wouldn't be any different from the Dark King if we did' the king said sighing.
'Thank you your grace'
