Chapter 8
The next day, Francesco was walking towards the frozen palace, he then went over to a nearby building and used a grapple gun from his bag to climb to the top. He grabbed the binoculars and looked at the palace. "Alright, so where is this prince that's marrying Via?" says Francesco. He looked around and he couldn't see anything.
He then spotted the three sinners walking towards the palace. They were dressed up in royal uniforms. One of them knocked on the front door and Andrealphus opened it. "Well, you three actually showed up on time. Alright, the princess is waiting for her prince." They all walked inside and the front door closes behind them.
"What are you and Stella planning?" says Francesco. He reached inside his bag and pulled out a drone. He then uses a controller to fly it towards the palace. He flies the drone around, until he sees Octavia and Stella waiting in a big room. Andrealphus and the three sinners enters the room, he then says: "May I introduce you, to Princess Octavia Goetia."
The younger owl sinner steps forward and says: "I am Prince...Hedwig. This is my dad...Kortifex. And this our servant...Bellatrix." "Why is he hesitating to say they names? Is it just me, or does his voice sound familiar?" says Francesco. Octavia steps forward and says: "It's a pleasure to meet you." "Likewise." "Octavia? Could you leave the room please? Me and my brother would like to introduce ourselves to our guests," says Stella.
Octavia nods before leaving the room. When the door closed, Stella says: "So, we finally meet. I heard you all encountered my stupid ex, the I.M.P and a certain human. Correct?" "Yes, they're the reason why we were not accepted into Heaven," says Kortifex. "We wanted to do the right thing and stop them from killing more humans," says Bellatrix. "We came close before, but when Francesco got involved, we all died. Hence the reason we look like this," says Hedwig.
Francesco stared at the sinners and says: "They all sound familiar. It's almost as if I've met them before. Unless..." He then gasped before saying: "No. It can't be them. How can it be them?" "Well then, it sounds like you're perfect for the job. If you manage to kill them all, then you'll be rewarded. Does that sound like a plan?" says Stella.
The three sinners nods and Andrealphus says: "Excellent. By the way sister, do you know where that assassin of yours is?" "Yes, he's currently observing the church that's being used to host the wedding tomorrow," says Stella. "Wait a minute, you hired someone else before us?" says Hedwig. "It's a long story."
Hedwig taps Kortifex on the shoulder and whispers into his ear: "Father? Are you sure they can be trusted?" "Well, they are the only ones that can help us deal with our enemies. But don't worry, once the wedding is over, we will backstab them and then you'll get to kill the princess. She is the one that killed you in the first place."
Francesco's eyes widened as he realised who the sinners were. Bellatrix was Agent Two, Hedwig was Agent One and Kortifex was The Father. "Are you fucking kidding me?! I thought that Stella and Andrealphus were assholes, but this takes the cake! How did no one else know that they came back to live?! Oh shit, I've got to warn the others!"
He quickly flew the drone back to him and he placed it into the bag. He then used the grapple gun to climb down the building and ran away as fast as he could. He ran to the I.M.P building, entered the office and saw everyone waiting for him. "So, how'd it go?" says Blitzo. Francesco dropped the bag and fell to his knees. He then started to cry, Loona ran and knelt in front of him.
"Fran? What happened?" says Loona. Francesco looked up at her and says: "You're not going to believe what happened."
