Zymun tells a few lightguard that Promachos Andross guile has ordered them to detain Kip and his squad (and by detain he means kill)
And "no word of this to the promachos, in fact dont even report back to me when its done"
Dont they suspect they are being dupped ?>
What if the order is not from Andross and they kill his grandson (his spy/marriage alliance/potential prism) wont he be mad ?
Can Any one just arrive at the Chromeria and take full command of Andross guiles personal army (i mean zymun has been there for less then a week most of them have probably never seen him before)
And The lightguard so easilly agree to murder kip The grandson of the man they work for without even a hint of confirmation!
Anyways the mission is a fail about 100 or more lightguard are killed -
There is no way they can take an order like that from Zymon without confirmation- no way Zymun can give that order without Andross finding out about it.
Dosent make sense (plus its a really scarry mission why agree to it ?) Its loose loose for the lightguard and for Zymun! Kips been exiled why kill him !
This is a huge plot hole IMO please shed light on this, tell me why everyone in the story goes along with this.

It's not a plot hole, read it again.
The guy who Zymun ordered to kill Kip was a failed blackguard trainee(he was the Leader of the Light guards on that floor).
He HATED Kip and his friends for what they did to him, of course he is going to jump at the opportunity to get back at Kip, without a second thought.
What you seem to forget is that the Chromeria is crawling with spies, if he was to bring it up at a later time, there may be extra ears hanging around. It sound logic not to talk about it.
Next, Zymun basically bribed the guy the kill Kip, "I'm Prism Elect, help me and I can help you when I become Prism".
The guard just let his greed for power and status overcome his commonsense, and Zymun being Zymun fugged over Andross's plan Royally(again, if you count him stabbing Gavin when he was the return the knife).
You think Andross wouldn't find out what happen? You think Zymun will get away with it?
If Kip went out the door first it would have been a quiet assassination, Andross would have thought that Kip just ran. Now, Andross will see that Kip follows Orders while Zymun continues to mess up carefully set plans.
No plot hole buddy.
