Securing the Mansion (Part-1)

As Alexander emerged from his hiding room, he found that the two slaves he had chosen to sacrifice had actually survived, the bolts having only hit them on the arm, shoulder, and legs. 

This was most likely because of the angle of the attack, as the assassins had shot from the side, not the front or back, thus missing the men's truly vital points.

And as the two fell, and became incapacitated, they must have not bothered to finish them off, instead choosing to focus to their true quarry.

It was just too bad that the following events did not go as planned.

Anyway, seeing the wounded men, Alexander succinctly ordered, "Move them to the infirmary," allowing them to receive free treatment, while he gathered his guards and started to match towards first Miss Linda and then Lord Nolan's room.

The few guards encountered on the way were dealt with with relative ease, with most choosing to flee rather than fight.
