My Space-Time System

Chapter 194: Royal Knight (2).

With that, the case was closed. Sargon and Lambert had gotten away with failed assassination, or so they thought.

The beginning of their end was marked when the case file was sent to Darius the commander of the ash corps in Calton city.

"This will be interesting." After reading the file, Darius knew straight away that it wasn't suicide, but he didn't have an idea who it was.

The only thing he was sure about, was that whoever did this would feel the wrath of Prince Bryon.

Darius was tasked with sending any information that involved the trio directly to Bryon. News of someone trying to assassinate them, surely wouldn't be overlooked.

"By tomorrow the case would really be closed." Commander Darius pitied the unlucky noble as he sent the info to Bryon.

…

In the palace at the center region.

Bryon was busy signing the pile of documents on his desk when he received a message from commander Darius.

On reading the information the report contained, Bryon's expression began turning sour.

"Joan, invoke the royal knight's order." Prince Bryon said in an angry tone.

"Yes, your majesty!" Joan bowed and hurriedly left the room.

The job of the royal knights was to protect and eliminate anything that may curse harm to the royal family. They answered only to the direct descendants of the emperor.

Apart from the members of the royal family and the councilors, they were higher in rank than any other person in the empire.

The minimum requirement for all members of the royal knights was them being in either the creation or destruction path of the angelic realm.

Hearing the Royal knights put fear in the hearts of every noble in the empire irrespective of rank and the main reason was the royal knight's order.

When the royal knight's order was invoked, it was a bloodbath. Not only would they kill the unlucky target, but they would trace and wipe out their lineage from the face of Infinite realm.

Not long the red hair royal knight Rayzer came in with 2 other royal knights in golden armor.

Immediately they were on one knee, holograms of all royal knights in the same position appeared.

Your Highness!

"I invoke the royal knight's order, the target is the Salton family. I await your good news." Prince Bryon ordered.

"Yes, your Highness!"

With the order given, the royal knights went out and began slaughtering members of the Salton family.

…

The next day, the news of the Salton family being traitors spread around the empire and so did their death.

Carts were seen at the different Salton households in Calton city, packing the corpse of the inhabitants. The blood and the mess were being cleaned by workers, as the mansion was to be auctioned off.

Commoners believed the news of the Salton family being traitors and were happy they were eliminated, but that wasn't the only reason they were happy.

The Salton family, especially the little brat of a descendant that was named Lambert was known for misusing his powers as a noble, and purging would make their lives easier.

As for the nobles, just like their friendship with each other, that of the Salton family was fake. They didn't care about them neither was anyone ready to risk their heads for them.

Instead, they feared that one day it might be their turn, so they began warning their descendants about their behaviors.

The 'purge' served as a reminder to every noble in the empire that if one of them messed up, it could spell doom for their entire family.

…

Within the school walls.

The news of the 'purge' got to the student nobles before reaching the ears of the commoners, mainly because their parents were warning them about their behavior.

At first, it was taken as a rumor, until they began looking for students from the Salton family.

It turned out that the purge had also gotten to them and the school had quietly removed their bodies to avoid commotions.

'WOW!'

The trio was stunned by the news for different reasons.

Castiel and Brian were shocked that Prince Bryon had intervened in the matter and how Blake knew about this. On the other hand, Blake was shocked by the level of problem-solving that had occurred.

He was expecting Bryon to have at least killed Lambert and maybe the head of the family, but wiping out the entire lineage was more than over the top.

"I wonder what the Salton family did to be branded traitors." Seeing the awkward silence on the table, Tessie had tried to strike a topic but it only made things worst.

Everyone except for her knew a lot about the Salton situation.

The trio was literally the cause of the purge, while Luciano knew that they weren't traitors, but unlucky nobles that managed to piss his brother off.

"I don't, maybe they were selling important information to the other empires." Blake said as he tried not to choke on his food.

By noon, not many people were talking about the Salton family, not because it had become old news, but because this was the last day till all hell was let loose.

Every student was getting prepared, both physically and mentally because the coming week was no longer introductions but the main thing.

As for the trio, they had gone to the adventurer association where they were updated on the ash corps' investigation.

They received their commission since the 'researchers' had deposited the payment. Also, they were compensated with points for what they had gone through.

"Now that went well…" Brian said with a big grin on his face as they walked out of the building.

"Before we go hunting, I would like to point out some things." Blake said taking them by surprise.

"The only reason we survived this was because we were greatly underestimated and we have a strong backer to permanently eliminate them. In the future let's try and be careful with the commissions we accept.
