The Craftsman 102 Rush To The Capital

A short while later Daedalus and Andromeda had gathered all of their subordinates at the gate. Daedalus quickly informed them all that they would be rus.h.i.+ng to the capital city. After he finished his explanation Daedalus led them out of the border town and started running towards the capital.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a good thing that every one of their subordinates where relatively strong as they ran non stop all the way back to the capital.

As they finally arrived the guards tried to stop them as they where a large group of people. Daedalus however showed them his and Andromeda her insignias causing the guards to immediately let them through.

A short while later they had arrived at the castle and made their way in, the guards could recognise them and let them past without needing to be told. As they made their way in Daedalus asked Andromeda "If you see the so called trusted aid could you tell me by pointing?"

Andromeda nodded and said "Of course!"

Daedalus smiled and they continued walking towards the throne room.

After finally arriving at the throne room Daedalus walked in with Andromeda. In the throne room there seemed to be a meeting going on, so when Andromeda and Daedalus walked in the people became unhappy. One in particular said "Who do you think you are barging in on this meeting!?"

Andromeda immediately signaled to Daedalus that this was the 'trusted aide'. Daedalus seeing this immediately walked over to the man and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up.

The other people who where in the room became astonished that the young man in front of them had just grabbed a highly trusted aide of their emporer by the neck. Before they could say anything however Gram said "Daedalus what is going on!?"

Daedalus turned to Gram and showed him his arm where there was now a ma.s.sive scar. Gram became worried and said "How did that happen?"

Daedalus looked at the man he was holding by the neck and said "I have reason to believe that this man sent an a.s.sa.s.sin after me!"

Gram was both shocked and disappointed in his aide and said "Do you have an explanation Laren? Daedalus could you let him speak?"

Daedalus nodded letting the man speak but still holding him tightly. Laren immediately began struggling however Danforth came in and released his pressure onto the man. Laren immediately went stiff and began speaking "My son is better for Andromeda, I can't have a stain like that boy as the husband of our future empress!"

Gram became even more disheartened and said "You know your son is terrible so you didn't even ask me my thoughts about Daedalus, where you planning to do this until only your son was a potential candidate? However your son would sooner be executed than marry my daughter!"

Laren immediately paled as he hadn't thought about his own emporer when he made his decision.
