Chap 16 Revenge
In the woods outside of Paris
The masked man stood there thinking about how he became an assassin. He thought about his beautiful daughter, Angelita. She did not deserve to die, she was betrothed. Her whole life was in front of her.
How he hated the French! Tears started to flow down his cheeks as he thought about all he lost. His son betrayed him by saving that…….
They did nothing to help his daughter why should his son save a Duchess of France.
His daughter's heart was pure and filled with such love. Why did she have to die? Why did she even come to France? So many questions and so few answers.
He knew the woman they were after was the only way to keep the treaty from being signed. Perhaps her death would finally ease the pain he felt within his heart. He felt such a loss for his daughter and the son he banished. He blamed all of France for his losses and he would make them pay with their lives if need be.
Suddenly a man covered in scars approached him. The masked man's stomach turned at the man who stood before him. Not because of the scars but because he was French.
The Scarred man had come to him and offered his help in killing this woman if he would end his pain by helping him find his son. The masked man agreed but he knew he would not end the man's pain by finding his son but by the edge of a Spanish sword. He did not believe the French had any honor so he did not have any remorse for his decision.
"Master the horses are ready to go. Is there anything else you wish me to do?"
The masked man glared at the Frenchman in hatred.
"NO, now let's go I don't want to be in France any longer than I have to be!"
And with that the two men with great hatred in their hearts mounted their horses and followed the stars to LeHavre.
