It was half past midnight In the castle.
The moonlight dimly shown over the whole of Aetreon and magically sparkled the light in kingdom.
The lake behind the castle shown beautifully like an oasis of hope.
At the side of the castle was the Garden of Alessandra, Named after The eighth queen of Aetreon or Alexia's grandmother. It was built as A tribute to the beloved queen by Caesar.
In fact it was his only contribution to the castle itself.

Every Sunday night Caesar would come into the garden in front of The statue of his Mother to Pray.
Alexia Thought this would be the perfect Time to strike.

She had Called Dane with her musket and waited behind some bushes.

Dane: Alright I'm here. What are we doing again?

Alexia: Killing my uncle.

Dane: Of course. Because we couldn't just go to sleep like normal people.

Alexia: Dane stop whining and Just set this all up.

In her hand she had a Bucket some string and a canister of water.
Dane looked at it perplexed.

Dane: What's all that for?

Alexia: For the last three Hours I've been coming up with this elaborate Plan.

Dane: Oh?

Alexia: You see, we'll tie this bucket To the trigger of the musket and then you'll put the canister of water on that ledge over there and it will slowly drip putting pressure on the Trigger and It will Fire!

Dane: That sounds…. Overly Complicated. To say the least. Why can't we just fire the musket Outright?

Alexia: Have you ever fired a musket?

Dane: nah.

Alexia: Exactly.

Alexia: Plus I want to watch His last Moments in Real time.

Alexia laughed.

Dane: You're one sadistic girl. And I like it. Where do Have to set all this up?

Alexia: Right over there besides the miniature pond. Caesar always prays in front of Granny's statue

Dane: Granny? Haha.

Alexia: S-Shut up!

Alexia: A-Anyway, It should only take about 10 minutes for the bucket to fill up and the musket to fire.

She ordered. Dane got up and went over to her location behind the bushes and pond.

Alexia meanwhile waited for Caesar Patiently.

It didn't take long for Caesar to come into the garden. He wore a Purple Ministry robe with Aetreonic writings on the side. He Placed himself in front The statue of his long deceased Mother.
The statue itself was unique. It was not made out out of stone like most, It was made out of Clay,Plastic and even some of The deceased queen's body parts that had been preserved. This all gave a very realistic appearance, almost if it was still alive….

Caesar: Oh mother…. How I miss you. Your sweet voice. Your Fluorescent hair. That song you used to sing us.

Caesar: You we're the true Ruler… Unlike my brother….

He looked up at the statue almost like he expected a response.

Statue: ….

Caesar: I know…. I didn't wish to kill him but….

Alexia: …!

Caesar: I couldn't live with the fact that he would be king and I wouldn't! It was just so…. Unnerving!

Statue: ….

Caesar: Yes! I know that Jealousy is a sin But living with it is even more painful.

Alexia: why is he talking to the statue? is he crazy?

Statue: …...

Caesar: Yes. I at least gave him a quick painless death. He's still my brother and wouldn't want him to suffer. An arrow in the head did the deed quickly and effectively.

Alexia: what a coward he didn't even have the courage to kill him man to man.

Statue: ….

Caesar: Of course I felt bad…. I did not hate him But living life just as a jack and not a king was infuriating.

Statue: …

Caesar: Thanks mother. I'm glad the you understand.

Caesar stood up and stepped away from the statue. He went over to a rose patch right next to it.

Alexia: No…! Dammit..!

He had moved out of the guns range.
He picked up a rose from the patch and sniffed it vigorously.

Caesar: Perfect. She'll love these.

*tapping*

They heard footsteps coming from the other entrance.

Alexia looked to the right and saw a familiar face coming from the distance.

Salami: Milord. You called?

Salami came into the garden. She was wearing her armor a bit more loosely as ir showed her back.

Caesar gave her the rose as she approached.

Caesar: Ah salami. Good to see you.

Salami: As you milord~

She came in closer and kissed caesar on the cheek.

Salami: It's great to see you in those robes. Very regal~

Caesar: It's great to see you in that armor. Very Tantalizing.

He put his hand on her back

Salami: Hehe.

They began to kiss some more causing alexia to revile from behind the bushes.

Alexia: …. This is so gross!

Salami finally let go.

Salami: *sigh* Oh lover, When will you ever ditch that pig of a wife, petunia?

Caesar: *tch* Probably after she gives birth.

Salami: Oh?

Caesar: I probably won't even have to kill her like I did Alexandra. She hasn't Birthed a child since alexia. So she's pretty inexperienced. She'll either die in birth or contract a illness afterward.

Salami: Heheh. What a Charlatan that woman is~

Caesar: Tell me about it. I cant believe that my brother would settle for a woman like her.

Salami: Unbelievable.

Caesar: She snores in her sleep… She eats like an animal. She talks way too much….

Caesar: And to top it all off she's just so boring….

Salami: Tell me about it.

Caesar: And the sad part about all of this is that He had the opportunity to Marry Queen Magnesia.

Salami: Really?

Caesar: But he declined at the last minute because "He had met someone else".

Salami: What a travesty….

She responded.
Alexia meanwhile stood in awe. Not only had caesar killed her father, he was also cheating on her mother too?

Salami: Regardless, I think we should talk about Alexia though.

Alexia: …!

Caesar: What do you mean?

Salami: Don't you think she's been acting strange ever since the dinner 'Incident'.

Caesar: I thought She's always been a bit "weird" almost to be considered Retarded. But yes I do think she's been acting out of place.

Salami: Do you think she's still heartbroken about alexandra's death?

Caesar: Possibly. But she could also be fueled by …. Which could be troublesome for us.

Salami: Do you think she knows the truth?

Caesar: Doubtful. I ordered all the knights to be silent about it! Unless some fool qwaddled about it.

Salami: So what are we to do milord?

Caesar: We should bide our time until the children our born. It'll be too strange if she "Disappears" now.

Salami: Right.

Salami paused and began walking towards the statue, causing Alexia to panic.

Alexia: No! No! No!

Salami: *sigh* It was supposed to be a romantic night. Until we started discussing politics…

Caesar: Forgive me milady, But how about I make it up to You~

Caesar grabbed her derriere and began kissing her more passionately. Salami affectionately turned her head.
But unfortunately that would be the last moment of her life.

*drip*

Alexia heard the last drop of water empty of the canister, and it all seemed to happen at once
*BANG*
The musket barrel exploded with the earpiercing sound of a gunshot the likes of which no one had ever heard before. The sound was like a crack of lightning shooting through a dark hole.

The bullet, half the speed of sound faster than the eye can see but can be seen, it flew throughout the garden Faster than anyone had time to react.
Salami Didn't even have time to turn her head before the the Bullet impacted her skull. Tearing chunks and gibblets off of her head.
Blood splattered everywhere. The flowers The fountain, Even the statue itself had blood all over it.

Even though alexia had been shielded from the splatter by the bushes. She still felt like she had blood on her hands.
