The town of Rjavoi erupted in hysteria as word of an attack on the Senate Hall spread through the town. None of the citizens had managed to gather anything specific, but that alone was shocking enough. The mayor even went so far as to put the entire town on lockdown!
"Too little, too late." Rui shrugged as he crossed the border of the Republic of Mernea by the time any meaningful and coordinated investigative measures were taken once the dignitaries were secured. He had left the town of Mernea stealthily, before heading to a more remote region, he then shot off at top speed towards the shortest route without intersecting with any towns or other settlements.
While there were, no doubt, some people here and there who noticed a noisy blur in the distance, they were inconsequential.
Once he crossed the border and left it in the dust behind him, he finally loosened up a bit before indulging in his exhilaration of having succeeded.
