Another eventful palace banquet

The night before the Palace banquet.

Two cloaked men both dressed in black jumped over the wall of Duke of Wu's residence, landing swiftly outside the residence. They surveyed their surrounding to ensure that there was no trailing them before moving out.

It was already past midnight and the usually bubbling capital had grown silent. there wasn't a soul in sight. Most businesses even those at the red light district were all shut down for the day by now. The capital guards were already performing their rounds and ensuring that the capital was safe.

The two cloaked men jumped onto the roof of the building opposite the Duke's residence quietly, they were careful not to make any noise and attract the attention of the guards. They ran along the streets and roofs quietly until they arrived at their destination.
