As he predicted, there was an entryway to the inside of the castle right through the gardens. Two guards were posted right in front of it and Ambrose hated that he had to kill them both. With his inhuman speed, he was in front of them before they even had time to register it and had already bared both hands to lay a killing blow to each of them. He moved the two bodies deeper into the gardens before entering the castle hall.<br/><br/>The inside was ornately decorated, showing signs that a royal family lived here. The assassin did not pay much attention to the details however, he instead focused on the layout of the building. Most castles such as this had the same basic layout, so he would likely find the princess up the stairs and in one of the chambers to the left. He made sure to stay out of sight as the servants moved about. There were not many of them as activity was low at this time of night. A conversation between two of them caught his attention from his place in the shadows though. The King had apparently brought all of his sons with him, so the castle would have even less security than he thought, making his job easier than he had anticipated.<br/><br/>Creeping up the stairwell, Ambrose stayed on high alert to make sure no one spotted him. At the top, he heard faint voices coming from where he suspected the princess’s chambers to be. Being careful not to show himself, he peered around the corner and saw two guards and a woman with blonde hair. One of the guards was sitting in a chair in front of a door and the other was escorting the blonde girl. She was a princess, that was evident by the way she held herself and the clothes she wore, but she was not the one he was hired to kill.<br/><br/>Right before the girl walked away, the two guards finished their conversation and he heard the one sitting in the chair say, “Thomas is going to take over my post in 2 hours, so princess Deidra will be well guarded throughout the night.” Deidra was the princess Ambrose was after, and according to the conversation, he could deduce that she was behind the door that was being guarded. He waited until the other guard left with the blonde princess, and once he was sure they were a safe distance away, he took out the guard in the chair with one swift move, making no noise in the process. Then, without wasting time, he moved to open the door, but it would not budge. It was locked. He mentally cursed to himself as he thought of what to do. Whatever he did, he had to do it fast because he did not want to risk being seen, even if he was wearing a mask. His eyes flew to the dead guard still in the chair and then back to the door. Quickly coming to a decision he rapped his fist against the hard wood.<br/><br/>“Princess Deidra,” he announced, mimicking the accent of their people. “The King has just arrived at the main gate in quite a panic and has requested that I send for you immediately. I believe it has something to do with one of your brothers.”<br/><br/>He was not sure if she would fall for his trap or not. She would not recognize his voice, but guards changed so frequently that he hoped she would not think anything of it. All he needed was for her to open the door so he could finish her off quietly, but if she did not, he would simply enter by force. Ambrose preferred the silent way, but he would do whatever was necessary to get the job done.
