The disguise Leblanc made worked flawlessly. Everyone in the castle was absolutely fooled; those dumbfounded imbeciles, he thought. They all believed he was actually the new butler for the princess of Demacia; Lux. Too bad he had actually killed the real butler.
He walked up the long, winding stairs and found himself at a long hallway that looked entirely different from the rest of the castle. The hall was full of portraits of the former kings of Demacia, and the place was filled with gold and other expensive looking riches. The place practically screamed, "Oh hey look guys, I am royalty."
Talon continued to cluelessly walk down the hallway, merely following the instructions he was given to reach his destination. After mindlessly walking for several minutes, he stopped right outside of a door that read: The rooms of the wonderful Lux, May Demacia bring the world a beautiful light once more.
Dunno why anyone would put that on their door, but okay, he thought. He nudged open the door and began to speak. "Hello, I am the-" he immediately stopped when he saw the half-dressed girl in the room. He ran out of the room and slammed the door shut, too embarrassed to move.
Moments passed until the door opened up and out came a furious looking girl. "W-w-wait, I c-can," he was cut off by the kick he received to the face. She ran back into her room and slammed the door shut.
Talon barely managed to get himself upright and barely managed to regain his posture. He knocked at the wooden door again and began to do his best butler impression. "Lux, please forgive me for my intolerably behavior, but you must let me in. I am the new butler for the princess of Demacia," he said.
A minute or two passed until he noticed the door clicked. She locked the door? How in the world can he assassinate her know? "U-um, Lux? There is no reason to lock the door you know." He said.
"I know you are the butler, that's why you are in the new uniform, but I have no interest in perverted butlers, so go away," she muttered through the door. Great, who knew one little accident could potentially ruin his plan.
"Forgive me once more Lux; I have no interest in any sexual desires. I merely wish to serve you as my mistress," he pleaded. There was another moment of silence, and he thought that his whole plan had failed, until he heard the door unclick and slowly creak open. He saw Lux staring straight at him.
"Just come on in already, but if you do anything perverted, I will laser you to death," she muttered.
The reports said that Lux was an innocent princess of the city. There was nothing that said she was dangerous. He sighed, can't trust Swain to ever give me all the information.
Talon walked into the room as Lux told him too and the room was absolutely something to marvel at. He had always lived in empty alleyways and card boxes, avoiding authorities at all cost when he was a kid, however compared to this, Lux was living in an absolute paradise.
The room itself was massive in size. There was a large balcony that overlooked the entire city, and the room was filled with all kinds of riches, but mostly filled with many, many types of stuffed animals. The riches seemed like a nice extra after he finished off Lux, he thought to himself.
"Your name is Saji, correct?" She asked. He nodded. "Good, then go fetch me a cup of tea please. The kitchen is right next to this room on the right," she said. He nodded and was off.
Talon found himself in the large kitchen area and began brewing some tea. While waiting for the tea to finish, he took out Singed special potion. It was a lethal and incurable poison that was impossibly hard to make. One drop is enough to kill a person within fifteen minutes, enough for him to make an escape.
He took the pitcher and poured the nice, steamy hot tea into the cup. Signed poison better work, he thought. He added a tiny drop of the poison and put it back into his pocket.
He walked back into Lux's room and handed the tea to Lux, who was sitting on the bed. "Here you go, madam," he said. She took the tea excitedly, "Finally, I'm parched."
She slowly picked up the tea and edged it towards her mouth. Right before she could take a sip, Caitlyn barged into the room. Lux dropped the tea and the cup shattered across the floor.
"Caitlyn, what have I told you about barging into my room like that, you know how easily I get frightened," Lux scolded. "I'm sorry Lux, but Jarvan and Garen needs to speak with you immediately," Caitlyn replied back.
"Okay, okay, Saji, stay here and clean this up okay? I'll be back," Lux muttered before walking off with Caitlyn.
Talon felt as if he could go cry in a corner. Things were going so smoothly until Caitlyn ruined everything. If she proves to be troublesome then killing her as well may be an option.
He sighed; he cleaned all the bits and pieces of the glass, and mopped up the tea. He thought this mission will be quick and simple, yet it seems like it'll involve a little more time.
An hour passed until Lux came strolling back into her room, acting as if nothing happened. "You've been gone for an hour, seems like what they wanted to say was important," he asked. "It's nothing, anyways it's late so you can go rest for now. Your room if you go out, is the first room on the left," she said.
He bowed low, "Then I shall take my leave," he said. He headed straight to his room and shut the door behind him. If only Caitlyn didn't screw up his plans. Guess I'll finish this tomorrow, he thought to himself.
