Plain sighed, "Dammit, oh well, you are lucky number one, so you get to choose who you get to follow." He pulled out a small scrap of paper, with 3 names written on it. "There are 3 people we think might be causing the deaths and suffering. Since you got here first, you get to choose which one you get close to" He said with a smile, but it quickly faded as he added in the final part "Kill them if needed" he whispered to her, making sure others didn't over hear.
He showed her the paper. The first had a man named Damien, followed by a short description of his position. "The councils most influential memeber, always choosing the option of the greater good, to sacrifice others to benefit the kingdom"
The second was a man named Nero, "The emperors own son"
The final one was only his alias, Shadow. "The emperors assassin. The one he pays to slaughter people, usually from Damien's words."
"Pick which one you want, I don't really mind" he said warmly to her, even though they were discussing the possible death of a royal member.
