Should I just go and hide myself somewhere?
What had I just done?
Kill me.
"Um..." I mumbled, hearing the sounds of my own heartbeat.
How had all the shrieks just stopped? I had just called out once, for goodness' sake, not knowing what would happen. But now that I had everyone's attention, maybe I could help the situation.
I could avoid us confronting the assassins.
"Listen up, everybody," I bellowed, my voice penetrating through the hall. "Nobody will fret over what I'm about to say. Unfortunately, it has come to my notice that there are assassins in the area, which is precisely why the ball was cut short."
All of a sudden, a flood of murmurs spread through the crowd. Even though I couldn't see anybody, I could just tell how worried they were.
