Daneel had no idea what to say. In fact, he knew that no matter what he said at this moment, it would do nothing to aid his friend's pain.
Faxul definitely hadn't told him this secret now because Daneel had e to ask.
Indeed, the determined words that rang across the room confirmed Daneel's thoughts.
"I want to get trained in the Hidden Kill Sect."
Yes, this was the reason.
The Hidden Kill Sect was a force which boasted its feat of beheading a King. This was exactly what Faxul wanted to do.
He had very few memories of his parents. All he remembered were two men with smiles on their faces who always took care of him. Their blurry shapes and the secure feeling that came when being held by them were the only things that came to mind when Faxul thought of the word 'family'.
The caretakers were good people, loyal to his father and grandfather. Yet how much ever he asked, they refused to tell him the stories about his childhood, saying that they were forbidden from doing so.
With no memory of his mother, Faxul could only assume that she had passed away due to some mishap.
For most of his life, he had bee used to being alone. Yet, that had all changed when he met Daneel.
On that day in the training hall when Daneel extended his hand, Faxul had seen something in his eyes which reminded him of something from his childhood.
In fact, to this day, he still had no idea what it was. Yet, their friendship had blossomed into one where they could trust each other with their lives.
His time with Robert and Maria went a long way in assuaging the grief he had always felt due to losing his parents.
But today, when Faxul saw the man who had chased him all those years ago when he was getting away from the Black Raven Kingdom, he felt his blood boiling while he resisted the urge to pounce forward.
The blood of the Black Raven flowed through him. And it called for revenge, setting alight his heart in a fire of fury.
Yet, he was indeed, useless.
In the academy, he had followed his instincts and chosen the path of a Vanguard: One who trained as both a Fighter and a Mage.
His instructors had told him that this was a waste especially with his potential, but Faxul trusted his instincts.
Now, he was only a 2nd Grade Human Fighter and 2nd Grade Human Mage. The others who hadn't chosen this path had already proceeded to the 3rd, but he was still stuck at the 2nd.
True, he would most probably be able to defeat them in many scenarios due to the added advantages of a Vanguard. Yet, he was still an ant before the mighty foe he had to face.
This was why he wanted to go to the Hidden Kill Sect and learn their techniques.
"You want to bee an assassin and kill the King of the Black Raven Kingdom who killed your family?
