The moon was dim that night, it was as if Lunaris Umbra himself, aided them. 3 shadowy figures watched from a tree as the patrol marched pass the east wall enclosing the royal garden. As the guardsmen disappeared around the corner, the trio dropped down from their hiding place and stole towards the building before effortlessly leaping over the wall.
Landing on the other side, they came face to face with a very startled palace sentry. Before the unfortunate guard could collect his thoughts, one of the figures, a young man with yellow hair, delivered a swift punch to the man's face effectively knocking him out. Another, the tallest of the three hurried to a gate at the far end to check for any other possible witnesses. Eyeing his handy work on the ground, the blond intruder snorted in disgust. "The power of love, my ass!!!"
Turning an apologia glance at the smallest of the companions, G sighed. "Sorry Black Wing, it's just that I was kind of hoping for something less, you know, drastic. Besides breaking and entering."
Dias Ragu, the Black Wing shrugged helplessly, "tell that to lover boy. At least we managed to convince him to wait till nightfall, which is an improvement and not because of the lame excuse you cooked up about it being more romantic."
To which G smirked, "as long as it worked, who cares."
A few seconds later, Scarface jogged up to them. "It's clear. Come on, let's hurry." Vy Low whispered in a irritated tone, G noted in amusement that the 57th Sevalle was rubbing his palms that were soaked in cold sweat and for a moment he was tempted to taut Vy had the situation not been so tense. A glance to the side saw, Dias was cleaning his glasses, feigning indifference, still, G saw the smile playing on the former's lips .
There was a tapping sound, G then realized Scarface was still waiting for them. "Something wrong, you two?"
Kain and Dias swiftly denied it, although it was quite a task to prevent themselves from laughing at that moment. Engrossed in his desire to reach their goal, Scarface didn't bother to question the younger men when they continuously threw knowing looks between them. "We best be going, no telling when the guards might patrol here again."
Sobered by that statement, G and Black Wing regained their composure before heading for the living quarters with the stealth of trained warriors.
A few minutes after the departure of the trio, the air of the garden distorted and bend till the form of Darkness appeared. The immortal bent down by the guard, examined him. "Nothing more than a bruise, but……"
Darkness had sensed their arrival in the Holy City, a few days. Assuming them to be on official business, he had not questioned their presence. Now however…….
In the end, Darkness decided he would wait and take action only if the trio's action become serious. As he quietly stalked up the path the three had exited to, Darkness thought to himself that it was a, he would have been a lot more at ease had she been guarding the Queen, it was a pity the Holy Knight in waiting, Lady Folustic was not in the Holy City at the moment.
