Liar's Time

On the day the master died, the sun was very bright in Metis City. He walked barefoot across a path paved with thorns, then he fell down and never stood up again. Kill the emperor of his empire. He sat on the high platform, resting his chin on his hand, with boredom shining in his blue eyes. It took me a long time to admit one thing: I returned to Metis to kill Caius Valerian. But he was smarter and crueler than I thought. He can make tens of thousands of people hunt me down overnight, and he can turn liars into saints. He gave me everything except a chance. But opportunities grow faster from the hands of liars than from anyone else.
