Barely thirty seconds later the younger guard reached one of the rooms on the top floor. The door was already open so he waltzed right in.
Upon seeing the two figures standing by the window he quickly got down on one knee, "Princess Yi, Lady Kyra, there is trouble!"

"I know, we saw everything. Go take care of Teng Ju, make sure his injuries aren't serious."
"As you wish, my lady," the guard was about to return when Princess Yi stopped him with a query of her own.
"That slave, what did he say to you before leaving?"

"Hmm. And what was he doing here in the first place?"
