<div style="text-align: center">Vestele:​</div><br/>The days passed pretty quickly as they moved from place to place making their way back towards the main castle. Each night they would camp out and settle in place Laylah would stick near Dante even as the soldiers set up near by. She noticed the glances from the soldiers as they travelled mostly when she was around Lord Dante, she couldn’t blame them. The pair made an odd pairing after all and they didn’t have the typical Master, slave bond at least not to any who were watching them.<br/><br/>As they settled up camp one night Laylah found herself settled under a tree, her back pressed against the trunk as the rest of the servants set up for the night. Nyx curling up in her lap as Laylah petted her, she looked down at the cat, whispering “ I wonder what is to come Nyx” her hand running over her ears as she perked them up at her.<br/><br/>Laylah let out a soft chuckle as she watched Midnight run over and nudge at his mate before the two panthers ran off, she settled for the night and slept before they once more set off on the road.<br/><br/>The next day they set out early, the movement of the carriage once more lulling Laylah into a sleepy mood, as they made their way towards the Castle. However the sound of movement and the heavy footfall of horses charging towards them made her sit up in place as she glanced around as the carriage came to a stop. The sound of shouting quickly approaching before she once more heard horse footfall, but this time from behind them as she watched the soldiers which was accompanying them move forward and attack those who had planned to ambush them.<br/><br/>Laylah’s hands had moved to her daggers almost on instinct as she waited within the carriage she glanced impatiently towards the door wishing to get involved. The sounds of battle only lasted a few moments before silence fell and the sole survivor was escorted towards the carriage as Dante stepped out, Laylah quickly stepping out after him. She looked at the mixed group of people who had attacked her eyebrow raising as she met Dante’s eye. Someone was looking to kill Dante or maybe her or more then likely both, she let out a soft laugh. They most definitely hadn’t expected 20 soldiers to be travelling with them that was for sure.<br/><br/>As the soldiers moved to follow Dante’s orders and searched the bodies she moved to his side speaking quietly “So who would be so bold as to pay for your death ?” she shifted at his side before the prisoner was dragged before them bound. Laylah shifted at his side as she looked at the prisoner, this would be interesting. The male was quickly placed on a horse before they once more set off towards the castle a slight increase in their pace now. Laylah settled in place across from Dante as they moved. “From the coin and the weapons, I would assume that was an assassination attempt more so than bandits yes ?”
