[Furtuka]

"Wait so why did you say that you-... ah I see, it was to mask it.

[Haspen]

"Oh no, all I did was to lead imperial people to the Duke! I'm the worst kitchenmaid, he will surely fire me..." Surprisingly fast, Iva managed to cross the river and ran up the hill in her fit of paranoidal terror.

[CrimsonEon]

: "Duke Sepin?" Alec hastily pulled out his tome and started tabbing rapidly, "Reigning Duke of Masalla. This is serious. If the Empire's already here, he's either on their side, or he's a potential ally that's about to be put into the ground."
: "We need to move fast, people." The bard rushed after Iva and towards the castle.

[Haspen]

@Alec:

Alec managed to gain on to Iva and get to the door just as this little conversation have occured.

"...oh, oh I'm so relieved to hear your voice, Sir! Can I come in? Is Duke safe?"

"...Password?"

"Oh, um..." Iva glanced at Alec. "Ummm... _{do we have to? These are... absolutely embarassing!}"

"_{Duke made these up for purpose... you know the rules, and so do I.}"

"Um..."

"..."

"..."

"...Password?"

Iva let out a loud, defeated sigh before covering her face in her hands for a brief moment of despair, and then cleared her throat.

"...Two salmon fillets and a cup of warm milk, please." She blushed fiercely moments after saying these words.

"The password is correct. The Duke is safe, and I'm glad those others are gone, he was worried we might be found." The door made a 'clunking' noise of something heavy being moved, and then it was opened slightly, allowing passage and for Alec to see the doorkeeper.

"You may... wait, where are the others? Duke said there would be a group?"

[Furtuka]

"Shit."

Julius ran after Alec

[CrimsonEon]

: "They're following up. We had a bit of a tussle with those assassins earlier. Word to the wise, we're quite accustomed to ambushes by now." Alec spoke in a little bit of a warning tone.
: "I hear a certain Duke needs to contact us?"

[Powder Miner]

A still-livid Efa grumbled to herself as she ran to follow Alec.
:"Better be worth it..."

[Xanmyral]

Fezz watched several run after Alec and their guide, confused. "Err... I suppose we should... Follow?" Fezz moved to catch up with the others, but didn't move too far ahead of Candy or Grifen.

[Haspen]

"I see. And don't worry, I think we can't ambush anyone with just me, Iva and our Duke... come in, come in... do you have, uh, some sort of leader or person who does talking? Not to be mean but, sir, you look a bit shady. I don't know if I can trust you." He spoke about Alec just as others managed to get to the gates.

[CrimsonEon]

Alec scratched the back of his head and sighed.
: "I get that a lot. If you're wanting a leader for these mercs in particular, try Mop-top or Sea-legs over there." The bard pointed over to Leo and Sheila.
Looking up at the doorman however and seeing his unconvinced expression, Alec groaned loudly and then proceeded to talk quietly, as if to himself.
: "Ever hear of that raunchy story up north? Can't quite remember... the one that ends with the maiden saying 'Tickle me, Leopoldo'? It's been spreading an awful lot lately."

[Haspen]

"I cannot say I did, sir." The brown-haired knight spoke with expression of confusion on his face.

"_{Are they coming or not!? I'm bored!}" A distant, feminine voice called from deeper inside the castle.

[freeformschooler]

Candy floated up alongside Fezz and the rest of the group, scanning the great stone building.

: "Please have warm beds, please have warm beds..."

[CrimsonEon]

Alec blinked at the knight in purple, and his eyes narrowed. Noticing the other voice from deeper in, he shrugged and gestured forward.
: "Nevermind, just a thought I had. Lead the way."
Hoping to catch the doorman turning around, he took a step back and whispered to the others.
: _{"We're not out yet. Stay on your toes."}

[Haspen]

"Very well. Follow me." He led the entire group into the castle, to a small hall of pillars. There, a young woman in fancy robes and lovely face sprung from an 'ambush' and clapped her hands.

"Finally! Matilda's rebels! Troubadours of Rebellion! I'm Duke Sepin and I'm absolutely thrilled to have met you!" Oh right, I forgot it's the Duke, sorry.

"Why, you look extremely fantastic and powerful! And, oh! Is that a FAIRY!? By Dragon, I've met a fairy! Oh, tonight alone I could die in happiness!" The Duke did a little twirl and dramatically touched his forehead whilst saying all that in high-pitched voice.

[freeformschooler]

: "Pleasure to acquiant your makenance, Sir."

Candy bowed.
