BACHUÉ:
"Watch out for the duchess!" Someone shouted.
Delilah lunged at me, knocked me to the ground, and… Fush!
An arrow grazed my head.
"They're attacking the duchess!" Dan unsheathed his machete.
Delilah was on top of me, protecting me with her body.
I heard screams of hysteria. I tried to lift my head to see what was going on.
"Keep your head down," Delilah warned me.
Fush! I heard someone shoot another arrow. The sound of the shot was like one of a crossbow.
Then I heard swords clash.
Fists.
People screaming.
And then… the scandal was over quickly. Delilah got off of me and helped me to stand up. The common room was empty, only my dark-skinned companions remained. Dan and Yessenia dragged a thin, dark-skinned man in his forties with short black hair. His hands were tied.
"We captured this man," Dan pointed out, "the others escaped."
