Right when Eric and Tyke are about to return to the upper floor where Seraphine is waiting, an imperial knight arrived at the last minute, bringing news with him.
He identifies himself as part of the troop that is presently working on the search for their other targets. With the Master Thief still on the loose together with those involved in illegal trades at that underground pub, eradicating this particular lot isn't the end yet. The night's still long - and so is their mission to capture and obliterate.
"Excuse me, Your Highness. I have come to inform you that the location of the illegal traders who abducted the employees of the bar has already been confirmed. It turns out that they haven't left this place, after all. Apparently, they're still hiding in one of the VIP rooms at the upper floor."
Eric went frozen still the moment he heard that, completely taken aback.
