Callie looked over at her son, who didn't seem to mind the song all that much, but she noticed something strange past him. Duke Roland, who was sitting to Rob's right, was smiling. In all the years she had known the Duke she never saw him smile, not even once. He was always cold and emotionless, which made this smile seem sinister. She felt the hairs at the back of her neck stand up.

The band had stopped playing, but the Minstrel continued singing the song. While the man's voice distracted everyone, the band put down their instruments and grabbed crossbows.

Ancois guards lined up in the room, blocking all exits.

"A toast." Lord Ancois said, lifting his cup. "To the young King of Jehanna."

Rob, Eduard, Wilhelm, Marthe, Ormax and the other Jehannans lifted their cups.

Duke Roland lifted his cup, the sinister smile still on his face.

Callie was still looking at him, when she noticed something shine under his shirt against the fires of the torches. The Dowager Queen's eyes widened when she realized what it was. Chainmail.... She noticed the instruments having stopped and glanced at the band, only to see them aiming crossbows at the hall below. "ROB!" She yelled.

It was too late, the band set loose their first shots. One hit the king in the right shoulder, the other in his left arm. The last band member missed his shot, as it ended up hitting the table.

Lord Ancois' relatives reached under their chairs and grabbed consealed weapons.

Rallaume looked at the direction of the keep. "It is time." He muttered and drew his daggers. He stabbed the Jehannan soldier that he had been drinking with.

The Bouchard and Solance soldiers attacked their comrades, catching them completely by surprise.

Arielle could see the village up ahead. "Come on, we're almost there." She beckoned Wolfida.
