《There Is A Monster Among Us》3. The Order
Advertisement
White said that this is a secret mission.
Thus, it is common to assume that the order must not be known to others. Otherwise, Mr. White Knight here could have just recited it himself.
I go to a corner, away from the infantrymen, rip open the envelope and read it with my back on the wall. I skim it quickly, then I raise my eyes to see if the Captain is offended by my action. It doesn't seem to be the case.
Obviously. I just realize that he already holds a letter in his hand ever since he beckoned me into his office. I guess this means that we have different orders. He knows something I don't, and I know something he doesn't.
ROUEN KINGDOM
MINISTRY OF INTELLIGENCE
Liuetenant Brad Brown,
You are required to keep the contents of this letter a secret at all costs. You are hereby ordered to deliver these 3 gentlemen and their supplies to the designated location which only the Captain of the Ship and one of the knights currently know.
You may not change nor increase your own men, but you are encouraged to persuade the soldiers escorting the knights to leave. Trick them if need be. These knights, had they received their orders properly, shall also leave most of their servants in a stealthy manner, keeping one to assist them.
Of course, throughout the journey it is still possible that you'll be discovered by the enemy or that you meet an unfortunate incident. However, if such a thing happens, make sure to send a messenger bird at the closest hint of failure.
If you succeed on the other hand, you shall be rewarded handsomely after the war is over.
Be careful of who you trust, the enemy might already be among you.
Long Live the King and the Kingdom.

The order isn't signed by anyone but the wax seal on the envelope seems like it came from a branch of the Royal Family. A Royal Order, huh.
I feel honored.
Basically, it just tells me to protect these knights and their boxes. And that I shall report about our impending deaths.
Not that hard to do.
However, that semi-invisible sentence at the bottom sounds super ominous. I almost didn't see it, thank goodness I have very good vision. I shake off the chills it gives off and look at everyone.
Welp, whatever.
I quickly crumple the paper and throw it into the lit fireplace behind the Captain's table, watching it burn almost immediately. The letter doesn't have any specific details that need remembering, thankfully.
How shall I start this?

The Trials of Bethany
Bethany, is a young girl who didn't expect anything more from her life than to spend her time churning butter and trying to ignore the abuse of her fellow village members. In any other world this would be a reasonable expectation for a person in the middle ages. But Bethany was lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it. Because her world was about to get a whole lot bigger, and a whole lot scarier. The Trials of Bethany, is a Gamelit story of a system arriving on earth in the middle ages with the characters being teleported away regularly to face trials to earn their skill levels. As such there won't be a flood of skills however there will be constant progression and other hidden treats. The story will be evolving as it's written and as always aspects of the story/world are prone to change. This is my first serious attempt at writing and my first time publishing anywhere so all constructive criticism is welcome. Currently uploading Tuesday & Friday with occasional bonus chapters.
8 199The Sorcerer
This is a fanfiction based on Harry Potter, written by JK Rowling. BEFORE YOU LEAVE, as fan fiction isn't what royal road is known for unless your book is called Borne of Caution, hear me out. This is based 200 years into the future. Hogwarts will be very different, and besides some references, we will follow no characters from the book. In my opinion, this is more of a new, mature, and more realistic version of that universe. If we want to put an analogy to it, I'm borrowing the house, but it's my furniture and things on the inside. Synopsis - 200 years since the battle of Hogwarts. The muggles know - magic is no longer a secret. Wizards and witches show their magical traits much later in life now, their powers weaker than previous generations... and to make matters worse, there is a steady decline in the wizarding population. Follow along as Lux, a muggle-born, shows the world what one determined young wizard can do.
