Especially after the little 'prank' [i]someone[/i] pulled on her, it didn't take long for the exhausted Karina fall asleep. Despite the several... uncommon situations they faced recently, she still didn't think there was anything wrong... apart from the obvious effects of the divergent, of course. Unfortunately, she would soon find out how wrong she was...

It was already late when out of nowhere, Karina heard a piercing scream from a familiar voice, Sil, screaming through the hallways, loud enough to wake up Karina. While she didn't quite catch what Sil had said, the sheer volume of her cries were loud enough to send a wave of irritation going through her, forcing her to open her eyes.

The very moment she did though, she was met with an alarming scene. Pairing on top of her, the figure of one of the servants held a dagger high, ready to plunge on Karina as she slept. Out of pure reflex, Karina rolled to the side as the blade plunged, evading it by a hair's width as she fell down from the side of the bed. In the blink of an eye, she immediately reached to her rapier, leaning to the side of the bedside table. In one fluid motion, from her current posture still kneeling on the ground, Karina unsheathed her rapier and stepped forward as she stood up, aiming to strike the servant in an upwards lunge, only for her blade to be reflected by the servant's dagger in a quick, surprised movement.

[color=ed1c24]"Karina?! W-What's going on?"[/color] Akai shouted, alarmed as she woke up to the sound of combat inside their room.

[color=6ecff6]"Shit... I should've known... It was just too good to be true. Everything was going just far too smoothly..."[/color] Karina said, cursing.

[color=6ecff6]"Unfortunately for them... Magic is not my only strong point."[/color] Karina said, assuming the elegant posture that was a symbol of her fencing style.

[color=6ecff6]"WAKE UP EVERYONE!"[/color] Karina's voice echoed through the halls as she shouted.

[color=6ecff6]"Kill everyone who isn't either the princess or one of ours. We've been ambushed. The princess was probably already captured."[/color] she finished as she slowly walked towards the servant with her rapier on hands. The confidence, measured arrogance on her expression and posture were clear indications that Karina wasn't bluffing. Even without magic, her cold stare emanated danger. 

The servant knew it had lost the element of surprise and one of the best opportunities they had to deal with Karina. The one saving grace it had over Karina was the fact that she was clearly unable to use her magic.
