Fleuri's warning had come none too soon.  Just a few moments after Tyaethe and Lilette had the chance to hear whaat he had to say, Fanilly sounded out a warning.  A moment later, Lilette stopped an incoming projectile with just her hand, with the reflexes and precision expected of an elf of such legendary reputation.

Normally Fleuri would be giddy to meet another of the original Iron Roses, and even moreso to see her in action.  But this was the middle of an assassination attempt of the crown princess, and the only things on his mind was the safety of the princess and the subduing of the assassin- preferably alive.

As the Crown Knights moved to bar the exits, several of the Iron Roses took off in pursuit of the assassin.  Meanwhile, the younger princess was quite literally in good hands.  Fionn rushed over to the captain and remaining knights carrying Maletha in one of his arms.  Having concluded that he'd be of any use in the pursuit with so many knights already chasing (although admittedly, he probably wasn't much use here either, considering the considerable skills of Tyaethe and Lilette), and unsure as to whether the assassin had accomplices within the crowds, Fleuri drew his sword and stayed where he was, ready in case there was more danger lying in wait.

[color=A0A0A0]"I'm ready to move if that's what you want,"[/color] Fleuri spoke to Fanilly regarding Fionn's proposition.  The former mercenary had a point, there could be other assassins and the princesses weren't out of danger yet.
