<span style="font-style: italic">" My apologies Alister . I should not have inquired. All that matters is that papa trusts you, and John likes you.Your one of my father's elites and here your family.</span>Alister listened to her avoid complimenting his dancing which caused him to frown. Maybe his feet weren't quite what they use to be when he was 14. He wasn't that upset about the personal questions and he felt her ultimate trust in his past was nice, but undeserving. She should question his past its only right just cause he avoided speaking all he details doesn't mean she shouldn't have gone there.<br/><br/>" No no dear , it's quite alright to dig into my past for you are royalty here." He whispered in her ear allowing a smile to cross his lips but something was nerving him, something that was dressed in a black long coat. The man if he could guess seemed to be on a mission, his feet dragging across the outskirts of the ballroom .<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Be happy and enjoy yourself."</span>He barely heard her words as her soft lips kissed him on the cheek ever so gently. With that distraction he had lost the hooded man as he assumed it had to be a man. Since it had kept it's head down, and it's hands from view. It was hard to tell from this position what gender the hooded figure really was. Though it wasn't hard to tell that it was an Assassin.<br/><br/>" Kate listen to me. " His lips grazed across her ear. " I don't want to stir worry but do me a favor and keep your eye out for a hooded figure when this dance is done I'm going to find the figure. However, I believe it must be a kingdom's little dog. " At least that was his assumption, though he was sure he wasn't elite for nothing.<br/><br/>Once the dance was over he gave a gracious bow to Kate and began a slow but moderate walk to the side exit that the hooded figure could of left through. The door opened just enough for him to pass through than they shut. Most wouldn't have seen him leave. They would of been too distracted by the music. Before he had a chance to speak two hands gently pushed him against the wall , with a knife to his throat.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Alister by God's I thought you were one of the regular guards. Holly hell. </span>The voice was from a female and with her quick feet her hood fell  showing beautiful silver hair with silver fox ears. Crystal blue eyes met his.<span style="font-style: italic">Cuz , if I'm caught here all my running would be for nothing, you know that my father, the king of the kingdom would have me exicuted on the spot.</span><br/><br/>" So why are you here, I know that you hunted me down due to my father's records , or your uncle, but in the north we have no relatives at all, we are not related to these people , you won't find any information on the queen's death, they may be royalty but their royalty because the kingdom needs them in case of an invasion. I thought you were one of their dog's risty. "The knife to his throat slowly fell and he heard her heave a long aggravated sigh.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" The kingdom's dogs are here but they are dressed for the ball, so that they aren't as suspicious as me. Considering I don't have a lot of clothes, and all my leads lead me here. Not hat my mother the queen died here, but there is some sort of link like close friend's she may have been to the lord. Which would explain his ultimate loyalty to he kingdom, and the fact that he is royalty. However, he knows nothing of my mother's death....for the kingdom has not released that she has died or that she died years ago. </span>Ristina slowly backed away from her relative and leaned on the wall across from him. Her thoughts deep as she tried to place the lead that brought her here.
