The city guard, undeterred by Erik's attempts to dismiss them, maintained their stance with an air of authority. 

[color=f7941d]"We understand your concerns, Erik,"[/color] the guard replied, their tone firm. [color=f7941d]"But we have a missing person's report for a high-ranking noblewoman, Lady Violet Damien. We must locate her, especially given the circumstances."[/color]

As they spoke, the other guards fanned out into the crowd, their eyes scanning the faces of the partygoers in search of any sign of Violet. [color=f7941d]"It is our responsibility to prioritize the safety and well-being of all individuals within the city."[/color]

However, then they actually noticed Lord Ravenwood bounding toward them. A sense of urgency swept over the city guards as they realized he was going to attack them. Their instincts told them to flee as the sight of the incoming bear of a man sent shivers down their backs. Yet, duty bound them to stand their ground.

With hearts pounding and hands trembling, the guards braced themselves,. The sound of steel scraping against leather pierced the air as the guards swiftly drew their weapons. [/color]
