Cough--
All eyes that were present on the Ball were set on a single person with a Red hair. Even the Crown prince's widened eyes were set on his figure that stood tall right in front of him.
"Cale!"
The Count's worried scream echoed throughout the entire enclosed place, But Alberu couldn't focus on the man's worried scream. Because all his attention was gravitated towards the silver winged-shield that covered him from the fallen chandelier.
"Catch them! Hurry!" Alberu could hear his own father's muffled voice amongst all the ruckus. Ordering someone to catch the assassin's sent to kill him. "Make sure none of them get's away!"
"Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!"
He should have known it was odd the Queen had let him go to this year's Winter solstice.
Of course she would sent assassin's on his tail regardless if the King was there too.
Alberu bit his lips lower lip in frustration; No, This wasn't the right time to fuss over the Queen's shameless behavior, he should do something...
The crown prince slowly observed his surrounding, everything was rather blurry. From the running guest's that were scampering around like headless chickens, to the deafening screams created by the guest , to the loud orders that came from either the Count and/or his father.
"Young master..."
Alberu took a step back when he felt a presence next to him, he didn't even noticed the butler that had approached the young master in front of him.
Had he been slacking off his training too much?
"Hunt them down,"
The young master sounded calm, way too calm for a fifteen year old in this kinds of situations,
"As you wish,"
The conversation was exchanged barely at the level of a whisper. Actually, he would have missed it if he wasn't so close to the Young master to begin with--
Alberu also watched as the servant slowly fade in and blended with the crowd not long after;
Just what was that...Then a thought strike the crown prince,
Was the Young master used to assassination attempts? Is that why he is managing the situation this calmly? No, that's not the only question... Just what is that shield? Alberu couldn't detect any mana from it, was it an ancient power? Something like what his mother gave him?
Everything happened way too quickly,
And all of those information were barely processed in his head when he saw the shield that was protecting him and several others from the chandelier, flickered;
"Young master...?"
Alberu stood up abruptly and tried to catch Cale who was starting to stumble back.
But his hands didn't even manage to graze the young master when he felt a wave of strong mana surrounding the said Young master's back, effectively supporting him back up.
Alberu was even more confused, especially with the kind of mana that was surrounding the young master.
"You.. should head.. to... safety... first... your highness....,"
