"Lady Ahira," said another lady with silvery hair, "-we've won, please calm yourself."
In the confusion of footsteps, Gophy escaped to be backed against a wall. Formidable foes stood before her, a few guards and a pair of twins. The real crest of Lucifer was engraved onto the neck in bold red. No armor, one held a book whilst the other held a staff.
"Princess Eira," said one, "-Is this truly the place where will find the enemy?"
"Yes, that is true," she sat atop a golden chair, "-if I've played my cards right, the one most dangerous to the Empire should step right through those doors. Wallen," glaring the chubby man, "-that's enough pretending. Unhand the girl and change into better-looking clothes."
"As you wish, Saint Princess Eira," he retreated into a back room.
"Highness," bowed Ahira, "-why must we scheme so heavily to bring a single man onto our step?"
