In another part of the castle two men were walking through the halls to return to their liege. As they traveled from the main ball room to Corrin's room to aid her with any last minuet preparations they discussed what anyone and everyone in the castle was talking about the mysterious blue haired woman that had arrived today. The two most popular beliefs amongst the staff was that she was having a secret relationship with prince Charles and was now with his child or she one of Garron's bastards that had been kept away from the castle by her mother.
" I don't trust her for all we know she could be an assassin sent to kill lady Corrin." Jacob stated while speeding up not wanting Corrin to be alone with what in his paranoid mind could be a possible threat.
"Why do you think that every stranger that we meet is an assassin sent to kill Corrin?" Silas responded while rolling his eyes. "your to paranoid Jacob, you and I both know that Corrin is one of the best fighters out there, she could easily handle one assassin."
" That's not the point. We have a job to serve and protect our liege and if a threat comes close enough to even harm lady Corrin we will have failed in our job." Jacob countered before stopping and reprimanding Silas "You should be ashamed that you did not stay with Corrin and escort her to king Garron."
"oh don't start with me. I'll have you know that I was given a direct order not to follow the two of them. I was told to relive the staff from your reign of terror instead."
At that moment the two men reached Corrin's room only to discover that it was locked. That sent off alarm bells in both men's minds. Corrin never locked her door. Instead when she wanted privacy she had a special do not disturb sign instead. Jacob and Silas pressed their ears to the door. They could not here the entire conversation but there were two words that grabbed their attention, Valla and cousins. The sound of laughter and the struggle in the room to the right masked the door being unlocked. Suddenly the door swung open and the two men landed on the floor. As they looked up they saw Corrin staring down at them arms crossed and angry look on her face.
"Do one of you wish to explain what you two were doing" Corrin growled
"you see madam when we saw that your door was locked we assumed that something might have been wrong and."
Corrin sighed interrupting Jacobs rant before it got too long. " at least the two of you were thinking of my best interest but has you can see I am perfectly safe, the two of you are to remain silent of everything that you heard. Now get you're your party attire you two."
"yes mam" the two men spoke in unison before rushing of to get into better clothing.
"sorry about those two. My retainers are bit over protective. Now let's get to the party."
