The Dark Knight, Maryvale Blood, was standing silently in the corner of the Grand Marshal's stage, keeping a sharp eye and ear out for danger. It was in times like these that an assassin may try to make their move against their target, where lots of people can see, yet at the same time, nobody can. The extensive crowd of varying types made for the perfect cover; those who wished the King of the Grand Marshal dead could easily sneak inside. It was just a matter of who and where. 

Perhaps she was overthinking things. That was something the Grand Marshal warned her never to do. Overthinking instills panic and distress - it weakens the mind and therefore body. But she couldn't help it, given the circumstances. 

Maryvale takes a deep breath, though you wouldn't be able to tell without a trained ear. 

Her job was to protect the Grand Marshal and the King. She was a guard, like all those here. All she had to do was watch, and nothing more. [i]'Calm, Maryvale, calm.'[/i] She thought to herself. She wished she could go, however her duty was with his majesty and the Grand Marshal, her saviour. And besides, she knew that she couldn't navigate her way there. She barely knew the inner walls of the city! 

No, she would wait patiently for the adventurers to go, and do as the Grand Marshal instructs, keeping watch for any dangers and acting on them if necessary.

The Grand Marshal puts his hand on Maryvale's shoulder and whispers to her:

"My loyal servant, retrieve the Universal Weapons for me, take how many soldiers you deem necessary and kill any mercenary in your path that tries to get the Universal weapons, also..."

He puts in her hand a sort of whistle in her hand.

"Use this when in trouble."
