A faint smirk crossed Jezin's face. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Gareth had concocted a decent plan. They couldn't really trust anyone in the castle, but if they formed their own group, separate from the power struggle that was going on, maybe they would make it through this alright. The bodyguard nodded. "Not a bad plan Gareth, not a bad plan at all." Gareth's place within the Order, however small, would be extremely beneficial for figuring out what was going on. He glanced back towards the door. As much as he liked to think they'd be able to enact the plan without a hitch, he still felt nervous. They had no idea what was going on outside of the door, for all they knew the entire capital had erupted into a civil war.

 Sophia nodded at Gareth's words. They'd have to stick together if they wanted to make it out of this alive and well. Eva patted the Princess on the back again with a reassuring smile. The girl forced a smile back, still trying to control her anxiety. After a moment, she spoke up. "That being the case, Gareth, what were you and Wallace doing earlier?" She hadn't thought anything about the boy's choice of company until now. Perhaps the regent had told him something. Any scrap of information was better than being left in the dark.
