As Acrius walked into the event with a body over his shoulder, Captain Helt, whom was in charge of the guard for the evening approached him, [color=0072bc][b]"What in all of Hitor is the meaning of this?!"[/b][/color] he exclaimed. [b][color=#FF9900]"Hm."[/color][/b] Acrius mumbled, unaware at how him carrying a body through the streets was very out of the norm. He fumbled in his pockets with his free hand before producing the crest of the Royal Guard of Prince Leonidas from it. The Captain swallowed and changed his tone after realising who he was talking to, [color=0072bc][b]"What happend here?"[/b][/color] [b][color=#FF9900]"This man is an assassin,"[/color][/b] Acrius continued, nonplussed, not seeming affected by the man on his shoulder, [b][color=#FF9900]"I believe he is after Prince Leonidas' life."[/color][/b] [color=0072bc][b]"Assassins? Truely?"[/b][/color] replied Helt in surprise. [b][color=#FF9900]"Speaking of, have you seen His Highness?"[/color][/b] Acrius asked after. Helt simply pointed toward down the path, [color=0072bc][b]"His majesty is seated amongst his guard."[/b][/color] He then turned and ordered a trio of guards over from their posts, one was ordered to go and rouse the troops in the barracks, the other two to help take in the man that Acrius brought in. [color=0072bc][b]"We shall take this man off your hands and send him to the keep for questioning. Thank you for your assistance."[/b][/color] Helt gave an appreciative nod before turning to leave and began issuing orders for a redoubling of the guard. (10 minutes later) With a heavy thump, Rudolph falls off the side of his bed, unfortunatley knocking over the small side table that sat next to his it, a half empty cup and a couple of books fell on his head. With a loud grunt Rudolph clutched it in pain. He could just makeout a mans laughter from opposite him. [color=6ecff6][b]"Not so good with the drink as you used to be eh?"[/b][/color] said the man chuckling again. Rudolph opened his eyes to the one who found his situation amusing, [color=8493ca][b]"...Oh, Fullar..."[/b][/color] he said as he took a deep breath before hauling himself back onto the bed. [color=8493ca][b]"Can't sleep or something?"[/b][/color] Rudolph retorted as he rubbed his heavily stubbled chin. [color=6ecff6][b]"Pretty much."[/b][/color] Fullar nodded. Soon after, the door to the barracks were hastily opened as a soldier walked up to the two conscious men in the somewhat empty room, [color=6ecff6][b]"Everything alright soldier?"[/b][/color] Fullar asked semi-casually, [b]"Captain Helt has ordered everyone whos currently able to report to him immediately. We've just been hit by assassins."[/b] the man informed before giving a brief salute and departing. Fullar and Rudolph just looked at eachother for a moment before pushing themselves up from their beds and began readying themselves. [color=8493ca][b]"Can I please get a bleedin' break!"[/b][/color] Rudolph said with gritted teeth as he gathered his gear. A few mintues later and the two men emerged from the barracks. They hastily made their way through a back-alley and down a street. The area certainly seemed more active, as guards and some soldiers whom were formerly enjoying themselves at the event were more actively patrolling and keeping watch of certain areas. As the two turned to walk down another alley, Rudolph accidentally walked straight into one of two hooded figures who seemed to be in as much of a rush as they were. [color=8493ca][b]"Gah. Sorry."[/b][/color] Rudolph grunted as he shifted to the side to let the man pass. [color=6ecff6][b]"In a rush yourselves eh?"[/b][/color] Fullar asked the figures before them. [b]"Yes, we have places to be."[/b] said the shorter of the two as they turned to walk off. The two then resumed their own journey, occasionally watching soldiers and guards as they did. Rudolph was about to turn and leave himself, [color=6ecff6][b]"Hold on."[/b][/color] said Fullar as he held up a hand. He then began walking down the same route as the two men had done, [color=8493ca][b]"Where are you go..."[/b][/color] Rudolph slumped and shook his head as decided to go after him anyway. -------- Morgan stood at the end of the Duke's bed as the doctor did her work. The Duke himself would briefly regain consciousness for moment, but otherwise he remained silent. Morgan turned and left the bedroom for a moment to give his lord some peace. Shortly after, he would be greeted by one of the serfs whom brought more news about the recent attacks from the other assassins, and that one had recently been captured. Morgan gave the servant a dismissive nod before making his way down the corridors to find Balthazar.
