Dual was summoned to be told to keep an eye on the young princess, when he could at least. Thus, Dual was sent to look for the girl he was in charge of, sighing as he began his search, starting down the hall and looking around.

He asked around a little, some of the maids and staff helping him out a bit, but as soon as he got outside, he was lost. He walked around aimlessly, perking up at the sound of training after a few minutes, heading over to see if maybe, just maybe, the young girl had passed by.

She was explaining to them that they should be less predictable, less predictable meant more money and a longer life, with a smaller chance that the long life with war made deformities.

But soon it had bored her. Most are too predictable, almost to a point she didn't even need her seer abilities! She let out a huff and left to the gardens to look around and maybe talk to a few of the gardeners. Maybe Dualscar finds her leaving the trainees, sitting under a tree relaxing, or talking to someone.

By the time Dual had reached the trainees, Kan was out of sight. He questioned the general and trainers and quickly was back on her trail. He caught sight of her and eased his pace a little before pausing as one of the younger maids nearly collided into the princess, a basket of veggies in her arms.

"O-oh no, I'm so sorry mistress." The girl squeaked, bowing her head apologetically as she squeezed her eyes shut. "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I'm terribly sorry." The words left her mouth quickly. The knight walked over slowly, watching the two of them.

She smiled softly. What a cute little sweet child. Or if it was an act a very cute act. She spoke softly to the young maid, "Its alright. Some people can be a bit more clumsy than others, and I should have seen you coming as well. There is no need to apologize or bow. Only do that if neighboring kingdoms are visiting."

Its like a sign of respect and other people know that they get respect. But they are very nice people, especially for royalty and they understand.

The girl stood up as she was told not to bow, cheeks a rosy and flushed in embarrassment. "A-ah, right." She said before smiling at the princess. "Thank you for not scolding me, the head scullury maid would have wanted my head if she had seen." She said, giggling softly. ".. But you didn't hear that for me." She shook her head before freezing at the sight of a knight approaching. "I should be going before the head comes looking for me. Have a lovely day." She said before scurrying off.

Dual watched the girl before he stopped behind Kankri. "Are you alright?" He asked her, stepping to stand beside her, tilting his head to the side as he watched the girl.

2017-09-17 18:14:02

🌀

"Yes," she kept the smile on her face as the girl walked off. Oh she's seen her once or twice in her visions that girl can snap a neck in point two seconds and Kankri is her first target. But like hell she was going to let that happen.

She didn't look at him as she spoke, "Cronus, I want you to go to our assassins and tell them to send their best and least known out to kill that made before dinner." Well SHIT.

2017-09-17 18:24:36

●

Dual examined the princess before he looked in the direction the maid had walked off in, raising a brow at the order, but decided not to question it verbally. His mind did wonder why the princess wanted the girl killed, but suspected she had her reasons.

He nodded once after a moment, "As you wish." He said, "Will you be alright by yourself while I run this command?" He asked, already mapping out the quickest path to the assassins' quarters, knowing there wasn't that much time between now and dinner, so he'd have to move fast and the assassins would do the rest.

🌀

She thought. Then squinted as if trying to see something, then turned to him, "No. By the time you get back she would have already done her job and move on to the next. Trust me, you don't want that." She sounds so, so emotionless while speaking. Like she's talking based of off pure fact rather than inference or guess, or even a close to reality thought. Just pure, a hundred percent fact.

2017-09-17 18:36:49

●

He watched her, brows raising at the words that left her mouth before he nodded. "Right, then it would be best if you come with me then." He said, "Stay by my side and follow closely." Dual spoke firmly, eyes flicking over to where the maid had walked off to before he waved Kankri along, starting to walk back the way he came.

2017-09-17 18:42:12

🌀

She nodded. Following him. But the less she knew the more paranoid she became. She only knew of two spys as their servants. Not Any other. The more they walked, the further they got she got a little bit closer. Eventually lightly holding onto his arm with a face of worry, panic, and paranoia as she looked around a little. I mean, can't really blame her to be honest.

Dual led them through the gardens and towards the building where the assassins were positioned in their idle time - a building hidden towards the back of the castle. He looked down at her as his arm was grabbed, biting the inside of his cheek. "We're almost there." He tells her, soon leading her into the building shortly after.

2017-09-17 19:09:25

🌀

She nodded, Christ how tense can someone get? She seemed so nervous. She really just wanted to get to the assassins then to the Oracle. She was a really nice lady who helped her see and calm down. And she wad more than definately not calm right now.

2017-09-17 19:12:47

●

Walking in, one of the main men approached them, nodding once towards the princess before turning to Cronus. "What can we do for you?" He asked, voice gravelly and hushed. Cro cleared his throat. "The princess asked for a young maid to be taken care of before dinner, I can assume she plans to do harm to the royal family." He said before giving as much of a description he could of the young girl.

2017-09-17 19:22:52

🌀

She had nodded when he said that she wanted to get rid of the maid, and that the maid meant harm. When he finished she leaned into the main man's ear and whispered. Explaining that the maid was listening in right now and to deal with her during dinner for she would vanish into thin fucking air.

2017-09-17 19:24:37

●

The main man nodded, listening closely as Kankri whispered to him, smiling and nodding once. "As you wish, all will be taken care of." The man said to the princess. Dual nodded a little, "I'll make sure the general pay you handsomely for your work, as usual."

2017-09-17 19:27:23

🌀

She thanked them and bowed respectfully. They knew she got her visions. That's how they figured the first attempt on the kings life, it was through her and it was the first time they found out she had seer abilities. Unfortunately she got to them too late and the mother went first. Ah traumatic events. Such fun.

2017-09-17 19:30:03

●

Poor baby. The man nodded and bowed in return, thanking her for informing them before he looked around a little. Cro looked at her and smiled faintly. "Let's leave them to work.. Is there somewhere else you want to go?" He asked her gently.

2017-09-17 19:41:13

🌀

"Lets go talk to the Oracle before dinner." She really was a nice lady and was very inviting and was the closest person Kankri had to an actual friend that the castle knows about. She was already making her way out of the room. Heading towards the stairs.

2017-09-17 19:43:34

●

Dual nodded, letting her walk a few steps ahead of him, thanking the assassins before he followed after the princess, following close behind her. He's only ever heard of the Oracle, but never met her inn person, so he was a tad nervous, but kept a calm facade as he walked behind the princess.

2017-09-17 19:46:26

🌀

They were soon at her door and she knocked on the door and stepped in. Sure she knew the Oracle always knew she was coming but it always made her feel better to do so. She smiled softly and waited a few moments before she stepped out with a smile and went over to give the princess a full on hug.

2017-09-17 19:49:01

●

He followed until they entered the room, shutting the door behind them and let his eyes scan around the room a little before the older woman came out. He looked down as they embraced, telling himself he was only here to ensure the princess' safety, so he could and should just stay put and out of their way.

2017-09-17 19:57:08

🌀

They said their greetings and went to take a seat, the Oracle moving to get the tea she just made out of the other room. Coming back with two cups in hand. Handing one to the princess as they sat down and talked to each other. How nice.

2017-09-17 20:02:26

●

Cronus just stayed by the door as the two interacted, having their tea as they spoke. He listened in just a bit as he leaned against the wall, watching them idly.

2017-09-17 20:05:01

🌀

The Oracle told her dinner was in like five minutes and that she should get going. Not like she really wanted too but she nodded said her goodbyes and was on her way to go eat. Hey Dualscar because you have to watch her basically 24/7 now you get to eat with them as a thanks! But that makes the advisors a little weary.

2017-09-17 20:08:26

●

Dual perked up when their farewells were said, standing up straight and watching as Kankri walked out before he trailing behind her, looking around a little. Hw wae told his new eating and sleeping schedule and he was shocked he was eating with the royal family, but hey, he wasn't complaining.
