Lyn was unhappy once again. His assassin had failed, there would be no knew emperor and it was all Trezlan Lorentino's fault. He had briefly met the man once many years ago, didn't have much of a sense of him then, he was just another gun peddler albeit one with an interesting if not all together made up back story. And yet here Lyn was having to deal with the fact his assassin failed because of a gods damned Lorentino. He was so angry he couldn't even form sentences as he watched footage of the young Lorentino murdering his assassin. Devor had been loyal and more importantly very good at his job, and now he was dead.
"GET ME LORENTINO!" He bellowed at his bald assistant, the man visibly shook at his shout. Shockingly for a man who is supposedly on the run and difficult for the authorties to even prove he exists he was very easy to get a hold of for Lyn.
"This is Lorentino." His bald face was infuriating to Lyn, he was so mad at the family he wanted to murder Trezlan just for looking like he had no idea what his son had done.
"Do you know what your son did to me?"
"Rolando? No I have no idea your assistant just woke me up from a pleasant dream, who is this?"
"Vitor Lyn I will make your life..."
"Oh right Lyn, right right, anyway no idea what he did to you, don't care, boy is in the service of his empire now." Trezlan hung up and Vitor was even more mad, he shouted at his assistant to get Lorentino back, and despite the man's best efforts he was unable to, so Lyn had the man executed he didn't want to deal with anymore incompetence.

"Do you have any idea what that idiot was talking about?" Trezlan looked over at Valrym who was an early riser and usually checked the news feeds.
"Rolando stopped an assassination attempt on Emperor Justin, dropped the assassin from about a mile up." Trezlan got an amused look on his face.
"Oh man I wish he could tell me that story I'm sure it was interesting."
"There are no end of things wrong with you Trezlan."
"This is correct Valrym and yet you stick around."
"I have to if only because despite every awful thing happening in this universe you manage to persevere, you're like a lightning rod of keeping bad shit away from me."
"So you think Lyn can hurt us?"
"I do believe he'll try Trezlan."
"Well maybe its time we do a little bit more than defense..." Trezlan had a plan, but he needed assistance and he knew exactly who to go to for that.
