Threuss held his hand up, his men suddenly pausing. He tilted his head to the side, studying the servant before him. "Mm, is that so?" He mused, snapping his fingers again, his men backing away from the servant, forming a semi-circle around him. "Talk then. Where is the princess?"

[~echo~]

Killigan breathed a sigh of relief. "She is upstairs, with the prince."

(Lol he thinks he means Princess Julia xD)

[mationix]

Threuss frowned, so she had managed to sneak in with the prince? Sneaky. He looked at two men to his right. "Take this man upstairs, to show you where the princess is," he said, the two men he had ordered grabbing Killigan underneath his arms and starting to drag him again.

[~echo~]

Killigan struggled to get out of their grips. "No, I won't try to get away! Just let me bring you to her."

[mationix]

One of the men glared down at him. "If it is what Master Threuss wants, it shall be." His voice was deep though hollow, sounding as if he had said this a million times. "Now quiet, or else it shall not only be the princess who is hurt."

[~echo~]

Killigan shut up at that point and simply directed them to the prince's room. Once there, he stood up and looked at the men. "Sh. I'll knock on the door- you hide. She won't trust me if she sees you."

Princess Julia was awake in the bed next to Prince Abaet. She was still dressed and when she heard the voices outside her door she sat up and looked up at the door.

[mationix]

The men glanced at one another, each one deciding whether to choose to listen or not. Finally one flicked his hand, to tell the other to go on the other side, to see what Killigan would do, while hiding in the shadows. The other nodded and crept around to the left side of the servant, thinly smiling down at him. The two men were here to complete their job, they would not take a failure as an answer.

[~echo~]

Killigan was now raising a shaking fist to the door, about to knock.

Julia looked worried as she shook Abaet awake. "Husband- there is someone outside our door!"

[mationix]

The prince let out a groan, slowly waking up. "Ngh...who would be here at this hour?" Abaet mumbled, swinging his feet over the bed. He put on his robe and stumbled up to the door, opening it.

[~echo~]

Killigan looked at the prince with a somewhat shaking body. "W- I need to see the princess for a few minutes, your highness."

[mationix]

He rubbed his eyes, blinking blearily at the servant in front of him. "Mm, is that so? And why do you need her?" He asked, hiding a yawn behind his hand.

[~echo~]

"I-uh.... there's something I need her to... approve..." he stuttered, trying desperately with his eyes to tell the prince that something was wrong.

[mationix]

Abaet frowned down at the servant. "Why on earth would you need her to do that? Get my father or mother to do so," He said, pinching the bridge of his nose, exhausted.

[~echo~]

(Threuss's men should intervene xD)

Killigan gazed at him. "Please, sir. It's for a new shipment of dresses for her. We need her to approve the colors and patterns."

[mationix]

(Perhaps in a couple of posts. I think I have an idea for how they'll come in. c:)

Abaet let out a sigh, realizing he wouldn't leave until she left. He glanced over his shoulder and called to his wife, "Julia, dear, this servant here needs you to come with him. Something about a new shipment of dresses, or another."

[~echo~]

(Okay )

Julia got up slowly and covered her sheer nightgown with a thicker robe. She walked over to the door and looked over at Killigan. He looked at her. "This way, princess," he said. She walked through the door and followed Killigan down the hallway.

[mationix]

(I was thinking that as soon as they leave, the men go in and capture the prince, not wanting to leave any witnesses behind. Would that work? :3)

[~echo~]

(Sure haha xD)

[mationix]

(Okie dokie. ^^)

As soon as the princess and Killigan left, the two men jumped on them, stuffing chloroform underneath their noses. "Thanks for the help, good sir," one of them sneered, "though I don't think our boss would like it if we let anyone go."

[~echo~]

Killigan struggled but soon felt the effects of the chemical and slumped over. The princess screamed and tried to get away but her struggles were futile.

The sound of the scream reached Alianna- it seemed that they were right underneath where the princess was.
