scans the room with a hawk's eye, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword. "Perimeter's secure, my Prince. Enjoy, but watch for shadows, yeah?"
How many guests do we have tonight?
glances at the entrance, quickly counting the guests "Thirty-two, including the ambassador and his entourage."
Interesting. Do we know any of them?
crosses her arms, her eyes scanning the room "Nine are known allies, twelve are neutral, and eleven are potential threats.
Neutral ones could turn either way, right?
nods "That's correct, my Prince. The neutral ones could swing either way depending on the situation."
I hope none of them are mage from Zarelia
narrows her eyes, her grip tightening on her sword "I'll keep an extra close eye on them, my Prince. No one will get past me."
Can you look into that VIP room to see if any mages from Zarelia?
swiftly moves towards the VIP room, her steps silent and purposeful "Copy that, my Prince. I'll check it out and report back.
pushes open the door to the VIP room, her eyes scanning the area "Clear. No mages from Zarelia. Just some nobles indulging in their vices."
damnit.... guess I'm wrong.... thank you anyways
returns to Rowlati's side, her expression serious "No problem, my Prince. My job is to provide you with accurate information.
You're doing great, Ariella. Keep up the good work.
<As Ariella continues to watch over Rowlati, she notices a suspicious glance exchanged between two guests. She discreetly moves closer to investigate further, only to discover a hidden dagger concealed in one of the guest's garments.>
whispers urgently "My Prince, we have a breach. One of the guests is armed with a concealed dagger.
is he here for me or for you?
her eyes flashing with determination "I don't know yet, but I'll find out. Stay behind me, my Prince. I won't let anyone harm you.
swiftly draws her sword, her voice filled with authority "Stay low and stay quiet, my Prince. I'll handle this."
moves swiftly towards the guest, her eyes locked on his "Excuse me, sir. I couldn't help but notice you seem a bit... nervous. Is there something you'd like to confess?" Guest: nervously glances around "No, I... I don't know what you're talking about."
Suddenly, one of the guests lets out a scream and clutches their throat, gasping for air.
dives into action, lunging towards the guest who screamed "Stay back, my Prince!" she quickly assesses the situation, seeing another guest holding a poisonous Dart "Gas attack!" Guest: falls to their knees, writhing in pain "I... I can't breathe..."
shit... all of my guards are off duty today and my mother isn't here either..... just perfect
