Supreme Alpha Hadrian never thought that the day would come when his right hand man will kill him.
His most senior Knight, Sir Julius, carefully killed him without anyone suspecting.
Not even the Supreme Alpha himself.
Sir Julius laced the Supreme Alpha's cup with a dangerous poison.
This sort of poison would have you alive for three days, and you will die in the fourth day.
That way, nobody will trace the source of death.
The Supreme Alpha, when he woke up on the day that he would be poisoned, made mention of the fact that he no longer felt safe in his court.
"I feel doomed. I feel as if something bad wants to happen." That was what Alpha Hadrian had told Sir Julius on the day he was poisoned.
Three days later, he complained of feeling feverish and he went to bed casually.
The following morning, he did not wake up.
Now, Varyon was sliding into chaos. The once fearful, agile and dominant city had started to live in fear of attack.
