When Izroth heard the loud banging sound coming from outside the building, he immediately likened it to a signal of sorts. If it was related to the palace, there was a good chance it meant Nixpera, Nixere, and Venare escaped successfully.
'Have they already arrived at the rendezvous point?'
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Enter," Fraun said.
The door opened as a fully armored knight rushed in and quickly gave a knight's salute.
"Speak. What's going on outside?" Fraun asked.
"Reporting! An unknown assailant has breached the palace! The knights guarding the future Queen Nixpera's chambers were found dead! In addition, both the future queen and her younger sister Princess Nixere have gone missing! Lord Fraun, we have been requested to provide our forces to help search for the culprit! We await your orders!" The armored knight stated.
Fraun stood up from his seat and said, "Tell everyone to remain on standby."
