As expected, Antonio and Marius had their backup plan all along.
They sent Lucia to the front line to try peacefully solving things. Since she failed, they'll step in as soon as they see us.
Fortunately, not in front of many witnesses.
Lying to the King is one thing. It can also be sugar-coated and interpreted as an illusion instead of a straight-out lie.
But stopping the King in his walk while wearing armour is a whole nother matter. If Ignis were to do things the official way, this would be considered a rebellion!
Marius was set on staying behind: why is he wearing armour as well?
«What are you two doing?» I ask in a feeble, anxious voice.
I step towards them, reaching both of them and positioning myself in between. When I turn, I meet Ignis's curious gaze.
He's not afraid of these two, even if they're acting aggressively. Why would he be? They can't hurt him.
However, the whole process should have attracted his attention.
