Chapter 105: Missing Delivery
Dominic motioned for the two maids to follow him, and then looked down at the bodies on the floor.
Technically, they were staff as well. So, he stuffed them in his storage cube.
The Royal Guard led them through the Keep, down to the second level, where confused staff scattered as they marched through with their blades drawn. Dominic could see that some were following them for a moment, wondering just who the Princess and her guards were going after with such determination, but none dared to go as far as openly following them to their destination.
That was probably best for their health.
Royal Guard Colonel Wilkes turned right and kicked a solid oaken door, breaking the latch and swinging it open to reveal a very shocked Marquis poring over paperwork in an otherwise empty office.
"Princess. What happened?" He asked, more shocked at the intrusion than angered or anything else.
"Where are your dungeons? We’ve got a failed assassin with us, and we will need to speak to your kitchen staff. All of our meals were drugged, and this man attempted the assassination when he thought I should be unconscious." She explained.
The Marquis nodded, and motioned to his right.
"Down the hall, turn left. That stairwell leads into the basement levels. Should I accompany you, or should I have the guards gather the kitchen staff first?"
"Take my Advisor and gather everyone who was in the kitchen or handling food today." Princess Alexis decided, then had her guards drag the unconscious assassin out of the room, leaving Dominic and the two maids behind.
"Are these two suspects?" Marquis Burton asked.
