It was a new day for the kingdom of Gam-e-room and the new kings reidn was going smoothly. The kingdom was still mourning the passing of the former king.
Archbishop Pevergreen was leading a ceremony in the state cathedral. He took his new role as the religious lead of the country very seriously, and unfortunately for the dedicated pilgrims of the church, his sermon was very long. During the 4th hour of his sermon he became very thristy. He gulped down the glass of what he thought was water. He was very wrong. The cup in fact contained a deadly combination of arsenic, lead and chlorine. He died very slowly and painfully. His son was by his side to hear his last words. They are only known to him.
Meanwhile,Archduke Byzantine Mercenary was out on his morning walk. He was quite clumsy and tripped down the stairs. Luckily for him, his mistep made the shuriken intended for his neck miss by a foot and a half. No one really knows where the would be assasin managed to acquire such an exotic weapon.
Seemingly unaware of the death of the Archbishop and the attempted assasination of the archduke Heir Sarathos went out to eat. he had a very nice dinner and walked away satisfied. The body of an unfortunate cook who tasted his own creation was found later.
One of the Greatest Duke of the realm,Twilightblade, was away on campaign against bandits at the time of all of these events. It was very ,very conveniant, that an "enemy arrow" pierced his throat as he shouted orders. At least that's what appeared to happen. As all of his soldiers crowded around his body, the would be assasin forgot his place shouted a victory cry, and while standing up fell out of the tree in which he was hiding. The slodiers quickly arrested him and tortured him endlessly. He eventually revealed his clinet was the former Archbishop Pevergreen. The religious man's death was looked upon with less sympathy now.
