Chapitre 221: Infiltration

Shouting and crying people along with the barking of orders among guards and soldiers echoed throughout the streets outside of the Eroan embassy. Some of the servant staff were ordered away from windows as they tried to peek at what was going on.

Kalliope stood with the embassy guards and tallied up her men. Unfortunately she was at least two heads short. Two of their King's Shadow subordinates were unaccounted for and were likely on or near the academy grounds. Whatever was going down must have prevented them from bringing word to her.

She silently cursed to herself because she felt responsible for their well-being. If they had gotten hurt while following her orders to monitor the academy grounds, then she would be directly responsible for anything that happened to them. Of course, in their line of work conflict was inevitable and often led to death or injury… She was still concerned for them.
