Chapter 01: Knighting Ceremony

(Unknown Area)

"So, you know your mission, correct?" An unknown voice asked.

In an area a bit far from Corona, two figures are discussing something in a small cave. Both of them are male, with one of them having glowing red eyes.

The red eyed man nodded. "Infiltrate the castle, and kill Eugene Fitzherbert, a.k.a Flynn Rider, in any means necessary." He said. His voice is calm and control, showing no emotions. "Make sure he's dead, and bring the body back to you."

"Be sure not to fail this." The other male said. "I want him dead, no matter what the cost is. And I'm paying you greatly for his death."

"My lord, I assure you that we will not fail." The red eyed man said. "My group of assassins are deadly enough to kill one man. The protection he has are merely obstacles."

With that, the red eyed man walk away, further into the cave before he disappeared. The other male stood their for a moment before he went the opposite the direction.

As he walk, the man ball his hands into fist. And a grin slowly came onto his face. "Soon, Rider, I will get you back for what you did. I will seek my vengeance on you."

(Corona)

After breakfast, Eugene took Rachel to the stables, where Maximus is at. The two of them climb onto the white horse, and started riding through the forest. It's something they do nearly every day, along with Matthew and Hazel (Although Rapunzel makes sure Eugene go slow whenever he's riding with those two.)

Eugene rode Maximus through the forest, being careful not to enter anywhere dangerous. All the while, Rachel is enjoying the wind rushing up on her face and the speed Maximus is going.

Soon, the two of them are up at a hill, where a view of the kingdom of Corona can be seen. "I will never get bored of riding Maximus." Rachel grinned, petting the horse's neck. Maximus lean into the touch, enjoying the petting. "I hope I'll be able to when I get older."

"Your mom and I won't stop you." Eugene told his daughter. "Although your grandmother is a different story." Rachel huff a little at that.

"Do I really need to act like a princess all the time?" Rachel asked, crossing her arms. "I know it's important to be one whenever I'm in public, but I can still have some fun."

"Well, your grandmother has grown up differently than you did, along with me and your mom." Eugene told her. "She grown up in a castle all her life. Luckily, both of your parents are more outgoing and adventurous."

Rachel roll her eyes and giggled at that. "Lucky me." Rachel said, grinning at her dad. After that, the two stayed silent for a little while, just admiring the view.

After a few minutes, Flynn spoke up. "We should go back to the castle. Get ready for that knighting ceremony." Rachel nodded in agreement to that.

"Can we go there in a slow place?" Rachel asked him. "I still want to talk to you on the way there." Eugene nodded at the request and with that, Maximus started galloping back to the castle in a slow pace.

As they went to the direction of the kingdom, Rachel spoke to him. "Dad?" She said nervously, wringing her wrists around. "When it's the knighting ceremony is over, will we still have time for the Tale of Rapunzel and Flynn?"

Eugene look at her in amusement. "Didn't I once heard you say to Matthew that my stories were for children, and that you weren't a child anymore?" He chuckle when Rachel flush and didn't look him in the eye. "We'll see if we have time for that tale again, little Racey."

Rachel elbowed him for using her nickname for when she was younger, making Eugene cry out in exaggerating pain (Despite it barely hurting). Rachel giggle at this while Maximus let out a horse like laugh.

(Eugene and Rapunzel's room)

"Are you sure it's a good idea to bring the kids with us?" Eugene asked as he put on his suit. It's a dark vest with a white long sleeve shirt, cravat, and light brown trousers. Eugene doesn't usually wear these kinds of outfits, but only do so during formal events, albeit very reluctantly.

Rapunzel, meanwhile, is putting on a purple-colored dress. "Yeah, I think it is." Rapunzel said, turning towards him. "It would something Rachel would be interested in, and Matthew and Hazel has to be exposed to stuff like that in the future."

"While I agree with you about Rachel, you forget that Matthew and Hazel has a lot of energy." Flynn responded, facing his wife."Probably before the ceremony gets halfway done, the two will get reckless. Or at the very least, Hazel would get sleepy."

"You can keep them busy dear." Rapunzel told him, smiling. "You have a knack for making the most boring things fun."

Eugene smirk. "One of my many talents love." He said, giving a playful bow.

Rapunzel giggle and roll her eyes at that. "Let's go see if the children got ready." Eugene nodded in agreement and the two walk to the door. Before they walk out, however, Eugene stopped her.

Rapunzel look at him, wondering why they stop, when Flynn pulled her in for a kiss. Rapunzel didn't hesitate to kiss back. When they pull back, Flynn spoke. "By the way, you look very beautiful."

"And you look very handsome." Rapunzel responded back before the two left their rooms.

After gathering their kids, and helping them with their suits and dresses, the family went to the cathedral, where the knighting ceremony is being held. Several other nobles from the other kingdoms are here as well to witness it, and the family have their own area where they could watch it.

Like Eugene predicted, Hazel got sleepy and ended up sleeping on Rapunzel's side while Matthew is getting a bit restless. Rapunzel and Rachel were paying attention to the knightings while Eugene was keeping an eye on his Matthew, keeping him quiet, along with helping him with the restlessness.

He was a former thief. He knows how to keep himself and others busy, while not drawing attention.

After the knighting was over, they all went to the feast. It was located in one of the more spacious rooms in the castle, with several tables set up according to each kingdom. The chefs had worked themselves to the bones, making a feast worthy of Corona.

"See Matthew, that wasn't so bad, was it?" Rachel told her brother. She and Rachel both have hazelnut soups (Their favorite food), along with fried shrimp. Hazel got herself tomato soup and bread, Tomas got chicken and rice, and Eugene got steak and mash potatoes.

Matthew swallow his bite of chicken before looking at his sister. "Easy for you to say. You were actually interested in the whole thing."

"Cause it's interesting to see how the knighting process go." Rachel argued. "We're gonna be ruling the kingdom someday, so it's important to learn what we can about it."

Tomas resist the urge to roll his eyes. "Yes, I heard that several times from you. You think I'll actually listen?"

Before Rachel could say anything else, Eugene spoke up. "Kids, save the arguments for when we get home." Eugene told them. The two of them muttered 'Yes sir' before going back to their meals.

After he took a sip of his punch, Eugene look around the place. He talked to some of the nobles here, and while some were friendly, others were a bit hostile.

His past as a thief didn't just stop at Corona. He stole from other kingdoms too, so there are some who still doesn't take kindly to him. There also a few in Corona who still doesn't like him.

"So daddy, mommy, will we still have time for a story?" Hazel asked, a bit of tomato soup on her cheeks. Eugene look at the time on the clock to see if they do before smiling. Rapunzel has a smile on her face as well.

"I think we do Hazelnut." Rapunzel said, using Hazel's nickname. The young girl smile brightly at that.

"So what story are you going to tell?" Hazel excitingly. Matthew and Rachel look eager as well. Their mother and father always make goods story, and also makes it fun as well during the day time.

Eugene grin. "It's gonna the tale of-" Suddenly, Eugene stopped talking and stiffened. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, like acid suddenly sprouted in his heart.

The children and Rapunzel look at him in confusion and concern. "Dad?" Matthew said, confused as to why he stopped talking. "Are you okay?"

"Eugene? Sweetie?" Rapunzel said in concern. Rachel also look concern while Hazel, like Matthew, look confused.

The man shakily stood up, his face paling a little. "I think I'm fine." Eugene said, trying to keep his voice strong. "I think I just need to-"

Without any warning, Eugene suddenly coughed out a mouth full of blood before his knees buckle and he fell onto the floor, on his side. He heard several screams from Rapunzel and his children, along with cries of shock from the other nobles and knights here. With bleary eyes, he saw Rapunzel on her knees and saying something, but the words sound so far away to him.

He saw many more people coming towards him before everything went back.

And that's the end. I hope all of you liked this chapter. I was kinda nervous about doing the last scene, as it might seems to quick for the attempted assassinations to be happening, but I decided to do it. And he got poisoned, if you hadn't guessed that. Review, favorite, and follow this story and I will see you guys later.
