The orders were simple. The plan stripped to its core was to complete the objective and kill anyone who gets in the way. If he failed, he must die before he is interrogated. Ming chewed his tongue as he saw with his mind's eye what would come to pass. In his knapsack was a metal flask, containing holy water, a short, curved knife known as the kukri and a handgun with limited ammunition. It was always best if one did not fire a bullet during a stealth mission as it would reflect badly on how one's ability to remain unseen was. Another thing which Kiritsugu had insisted he bring prior to this operation was a small grenade, enough to shred his body and perhaps those who stood close enough to remove the evidence.<br/><br/>Though, the access tunnels should have been empty... Ming instantly knew that some were tipped off about it the moment he heard movement ahead.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>When Eve departed to enter the manor, Kiritsugu decided to sit a a secluded edge of the garden, where even his keen eyes ceased to see even his own hands clearly. He sat on a stone bench, wondering if he should warn his fellow vampire, Ije about the impeding event for he had seen too many masterminds go berserk as soon a a wire came loose in their well thought up plans.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Something was really wrong, William could just sense it. Kiritsugu was up to something today, he was not here which meant that he was at somewhere else, doing something which he could not monitor.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Kelvyn entered the hall and began chatting amicably with the various families with light conversation. He avoided going close to the royals for fear of getting attacked. He stopped before a nervous man along with who appeared to be his brother. "Hello, are you looking for something?"<br/><br/>(Oh boy.)<br/>------<br/><br/>Eve had absolutely nothing to do once again as she was relieved of her duties until this was over. She had brought out the pocketwatch again, this time winding the thin chain around her wrist as she felt time slip though her fingers.<br/><br/>Unconciously she began to seek out familiar faces whom she knew she could confide with and ended up standing behind the maid which she was speaking to yesterday.
