A man burst into the hall, shouting, "We're under attack!"
"The villain plays victim!" Winters, hearing someone bellow that they were under attack, stormed angrily towards the shouter with large strides.
The bewildered Colonel Kongtai'er and Andre followed behind.
It was only when Winters was a few steps away from the man that he realized he was not the chin-injured assassin who had run away. The newcomer was dressed in the uniform of a military officer, while the assassin had been in a deep green hunting outfit.
Colonel Bozuhof reached the uninvited guest first, offering him a cup of wine and speaking gently while clutching his arm, "Don't panic, speak slowly. What's attacked us?"
