The moment that shadow sprout out of nowhere Viscount Karne was scared for his life, as this was the first time that something like this happened to him.
Since he had been raised among his family, and nobility throughout all his life, he had never been through something frightening, or unexpected like this.

So being faced with a situation like this, there was no way he wouldn't be terrified. He thought that the shadow was most probably some assassin sent by Count Riva to kill him.
His plan had already failed tonight, and not only hadn't he been able to kill Count Riva tonight, but he had also managed to create a powerful alliance with Marquess Dran, and the 2nd Prince.
