Even though Karina was trained, there was only so much she could do against that number of attackers without her magic. Trying to be something like a one-person-army and take every single attacker she saw on sight was a [i]terrible[/i] idea, and Karina knew that. Due to that, she fought only when strictly necessary and tried to avoid detection as much as possible. Of course, this meant moving more carefully instead of blazing through the mansion. Due to that, Karina took noticeably longer to find the others than she would like to.

[color=ed1c24]"I hate to be the one to throw salt on the open wound but... Do we already know what's going on?"[/color] Akai asked in a hushed voice as she followed Karina.

[color=6ecff6]"No... And that is what irritates me. The fact that the Lord's own mansion was invaded and the lord himself is nowhere to be seen is very suspicious... Plus, this place was supposed to be one of the most secure prisons around. For such 'accident' to happen just as we visit it, escorting the princes is far too much of a 'coincidence'..."[/color] Karina said with an irritated tone.

[color=ed1c24]"So you're saying this was all planned? But by who?"[/color] Akai asked.

[color=6ecff6]"That's what I'm trying to find out. Capturing the Lord would be a good first step."[/color] she continued, letting a smirk appear on her expression. Karina didn't like being deceived and should she find the Lord after all this happened, her 'interrogation' wouldn't be a kind and calm one.

It didn't take long until Karina started heard some familiar voices coming from one of the rooms. At first, Karina sneaked nearby the door to assess the situation, but when she heard the calmness in the voices coming from inside, she knew they were all safe.

Knocking in the door as a way to announce herself, Karina got ready to enter.

[color=6ecff6]"Tayla, Octavio? It's me, Karina."[/color] she said as she slowly entered the room, with her hands raised, avoiding a hostile posture in order to avoid any accidental friendly fire. Her rapier, with it's tip slightly bloodied, still on her hands.

[color=6ecff6]"Are you all okay? Has anyone seen Chres? Both the lord and the princess are nowhere to be found... I'm starting to think this was all a trap from the very beginning."[/color] Karina said as she slowly and carefully closed the door behind her.
