Chapter 13 - Failed Ambush

Night, That same day.

Arryn is resting in the hospital room when he senses something off. His sends out a short wave of his aura into the rest of the hospital, of which he finds two people, human in nature, stealthily approaching the door to his room. He chuckles silently.

"Well, this is quite the interesting development."

The two invaders enter the room, and they are the same clergymen from four days ago. They draw their weapons and point at Arryn, who is sitting calmly on his bed, not in any way feeling nervous or threatened.

"I'm surprised." Arryn starts. "I thought you'd found the nearest landship to Magnolia by now. To think you two stayed back in Grimeford."

"Shut up, criminal. Father Micah will have his rematch with you once we take you to him!" One of them, the one on the right, says.

"Aww...He's still sour about that? It was over two months ago, wasn't it? And why didn't he come to Grimeford himself?"

"We're asking the questions, you!" The one on the left commands.

"Ah, forgive me, your highness..." Arryn jokes. "But it's a good question, no? If you two are here, that must mean he's here in Grimeford. So, you weren't looking for us these past few days, you were waiting for him to arrive, am I wrong?"

"No." The one on the left concedes.

"HEY!! He's not meant to know that!" The one on the right says.

"I appreciate your input. He's here to see his sister. That man's got one hell of a sister complex. I bet you two didn't know that since he probably gave you an explanation like official business with the duke or something like that." Arryn looks at the ceiling.

"No, you're right." The one on the left concedes once more.

"Hey! Cut it out, will ya, Andi? He's not supposed to know that!" The one on the right complains. He turns to Arryn and makes a cough. "Yeah...so, how exactly do you know the father? How do you know so much about him?"

Arryn laughs menacingly. "You're not meant to know that." His violet eyes have switched again and the teal-colored irises glow in the moonlight entering the room.

He pokes the air around him twice and, in an instant, the two clergymen are stuck by an invisible force directly in their chests. They fall unconscious immediately after.

Arryn stands up and walks around the room. "Yeah...this is bad. If Micah shows up, they're done for, undoubtedly...It's too early for me to go at this business solo."

He walks out of the room, dragging one leg each of his supposed 'assailants' through the door.
