On one of the multiple balconies at Dritzuut palace. Two players ducked while looking over the parapet.
"… She is so close," One of the players said. This player was David from the Dogs of War. Under John's request, he had sneaked through the capital and infiltrated the palace with his guildmates.
But even if John didn't give the request, he might still sneak over all by himself. He couldn't bear letting Jeanny remain in captivity now that she was within sight.
The player who was with David put a hand on his shoulder. "Be patient, David. Impatience will only ruin our chance of rescuing them."
The other player was Serpent Boss, Dogs of War's guild leader.
