Fateful Encounter

Seth was escaping through backstreets
 Thinking about what has just happened to him this night
 Eyes open wide to lord regent's deceit
 His filthy scheme to frame him now stood out in plain sight
 Once Seth approached a turn to main street
 Patrol of guards rushed past him scouring the place like hounds
 And for a moment his heart skipped a beat
 Yet he remained unnoticed in shade making no sound
 While our hero made his way out
 Lord regent got informed about the gruesome crimes
 News in him planted seeds of doubt
 Why didn't Seth report back to him after all this time?
 He hitched up the horses to pay
 A visit to our royal assassin's lodging
 Meanwhile Seth's not far away
 And sure, he'll be back home in no time without getting caught
 Seth gets in his
 Room goes straight to
 Bed after the nights
 He hasn't slept
 Right as he fell into Morpheus' realm
 Clutter of hooves approached where our hero dwells
 Regent set foot on the cobblestone paving
 Hungry for answers the truth he was craving
 Silence was broken by four loud knocks
 Regent was now standing in front of our hero's door
 Seth now awake stood up to greet unexpected guest
 They walked inside stepping on tiles of the creaky floor
 Sat on the two dusty chairs both visibly distressed
 Regent was informed by Seth about completed task
 "Have you heard about what happened at the ball that vile night?"
 Even before Seth answered his gaze fell on a mask
 Scarlett as blood on Seth's sleeve caught by lord's seeking sight
 Suspicion rose
 Lord Regent rashly decided to end the discourse
 He shook Seth's hand
 And said that he's got some business that he has to attend to
 When regent left
 Seth went to bed not suspecting that he'd just been caught
 He dreamt in peace
 Not knowing that his serene expectations of life were to end
 Horses are hitched
 Carriage moves
 To abattoir
 Owned by a gang
 Cleavers - their name
 Infamous mob
 Feared by the folks
 From all around
 Lord's special task
 The gangsters await
 The jangling of coins
 They're eager to hear
 They will teach him
 How to obey
 And not to pry
 In other's affairs
