Chapter 148 - Panic at the disco
“I presume you don’t know what that was?” Iyana asked, the two of them locking gazes.
Scarlett shook her head. “You presume right.”
As far as she was aware, there wasn’t supposed to be anything special happening inside right now.
Another muffled scream echoed, this one carrying a greater sense of panic than the previous.
Scarlett noticed the other woman reaching for her waist but pausing as if realizing there was nothing there. With what might count as a hint of frustration on her face—it was hard to tell—the knight took off.
Scarlett blinked, surprised by how quickly Iyana reached the other end of the balcony and disappeared inside.
Glancing around, she concluded it was probably best for her to find out what was happening and started moving as well. The archway leading to the balcony was enchanted to silence sounds, but once she passed through it, the noises became slightly clearer. Although still muted, it now sounded like people were fighting.
She hurried down the corridor, making a sharp turn into the nearest room. There, she froze. The peaceful, conversational atmosphere that had been present when she passed through earlier was gone, replaced by chaos. Most of the occupants were either fleeing or seeking shelter in the corners behind overturned tables and furniture. The center of the room was taken up by a group of black-clad individuals with painted faces who had already converged on Iyana.
Scarlett scowled.
The Tribe of Sin. What the hell were they doing here?
With a thought, her dress vanished, replaced by most of her gear as she activated the defense from [Sidhe’s Flowing Garbs].
More of the Tribe members were scattered throughout the room—perhaps a few dozen in total—engaged in battles with other guests. However, the bulk of their numbers were focused on Iyana. They seemed to know who she was.
