Harmeth
She saw that Therlion was not able to fully concentrate, and from this she knew he was not telling the total truth. But for the moment she had asked him enough questions.
"Very well. I have satisfied my father's wish that I subtly interrogate you, now let us pass to more interesting things. You said that you research legends. Tell me of some interesting legends you might know about."
Just as Therlion was going to start to answer the door flung open and the guard who had been escorted Therlion there earlier stood there, with a rather blank expression on his face. He opened his mouth and then closed it. Without a single warning he fell forward to the floor. It was only now, that it was visible what had happened. A knife was sticking out of the guard's back. Harmeth screamed, and fainted.
A man with a sword in his hand appeared in the doorway. It only took him a moment's notice to get the situation in the room, and then with a battle cry he jumped towards Therlion, swinging with his sword. Far away, down the corridor rushing steps could be heard.
