"ARE YOU GUYS FORGETTING HE HAS A KNIFE TO MY THROAT!?"

Silvana took a step forward as to which the figure reacted and held the knife against Zeras skin, cutting her slightly allowing her blood to drip over the blade.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you, I tend to be very clumsy with my hands"

"Let the girl go and we'll consider reducing your prison sentence"

"Woah there warrior princess, that's not very good conversational skills"

"Fine, let's skip the conversation and go to the part where I slit your throat"

"Silvana STAND DOWN"

"KNOW YOUR PLACE LUCIEN! The time for negotiating has ended, you destroyed her majesty's palace, put my comrades in danger and not to mention the countless lives you've already taken...screw what I said, you DO deserve that death sentence...and I'll glady be your executioner"

"Silvana STOP!"

Zera had tears streaming down her cheeks...that look on her face...hopeless, scared after all despite being a former knight she has no real near death experiences. Something was still odd about this situation.

Silvana couldn't point it out but there was definitely something else at play.

"Lucien, how did he get a hold of Zera?"

"Im not sure, i didn't hear or see anything. I just turned around noticed she was missing for a brief moment, I decided to look around and he had gotten to her before I did"

"Is that so...Zera managed to run away from you that easily...evading you is not even something I'm capable of but it does beg the question...did Zera perhaps allow herself to get captured?"

"Lucien is in charge of the stealth and espionage division, surely evading a man with his skillset should be almost impossible"

Zera was no longer crying, the tears were still there but she now had a blank expression.

"These intruders invaded our palace without making a sound, silently killed off each and every guard and somehow knew where exactly the Apostles chambers...You wouldn't be able to take out every guard in that manner unless you knew their patrols and where there were stationed which means someone gave them that information... not to mention this man addressed Zera...by her first name"

"Silvana what are you trying to say?"

"Well you see Lucien, our little new recruit over here...is a snake"
