But he had only half finished when the court in front of the palace burst into activity and he heard the clanking sound of armor, as guards rushed around. He opened the window and looked out, several groups of guards were heading towards the guesthouse and Edward cursed loudly. The last thing he needed was fighting between the nobles, but as it seemed it was kind of unavoidable. He quickly fastened his own armor and grabbed his sword, girding it on the way downstairs.<br/><br/>Edward had not reached the ground floor when a young guard came rushing towards him. His face was red and he was panting hard.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"Sir, there is....a fight in...the guesthouse..."<br/></span><br/>Edward didn't stop but hurried past the young guard and right for the guesthouse. The guard had hesitated for a moment and then followed him quickly. Edward had no time to talk with a guard now, if there was a fight, he had to stop it, if the guards weren't able to do so.<br/><br/>He pushed two guards out of the way, who stood on the stairs and hurried up. A captain was in the hallway and four guards tried to move in on three people fighting, but it wasn't easy to stop a fight in this small hallway. Edward quickly recognised Damian and Alexander and it took some time until he realised that the wounded one was Sir Gregorio. Damian was going hard for the two and he was gaining ground, while the guards tried to command Damian to lower his weapon, but they weren't risking their lives to stop that fight.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"DAMIAN! ALEXANDER! GREGORIO! STOP IT IMMEDIATELY OR I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO THINK OVER YOUR ACTIONS IN THE DUNGEONS!"</span><br/><br/>Edward had put all his authority into his command and for a moment it seemed to work, as Gregorio lowered his weapon and Alexander made a step backwards. But then hell broke lose.</div>
