While everyone was fearful of the sudden vampire attack, Astrid had a different thought in mind, and that was how she could get to Varecien. As she followed Marcus to the inner courtyard where there would be enough guards, both human and human-werewolf hybrids would protect them. She was looking for blindspots to sneak away.
Her pace slowed down, and Marcus noticed, but he just snorted and then increased his pace. She frowned outwardly but grinned inside. She was counting on that terrible attitude of his anyway.
While Marcus continued far ahead, she stopped and took a hallway leading to an emergency exit out of the castle. Tonight, she would intentionally allow herself to be captured. Once she was in Varecien, she would ask to speak with Lyrus and hopefully. They would allow her.
