“Well, ain’t he a pretty boy?” One of the thugs chuckles as they leer at you wickedly. You are currently tied up, having been suddenly kidnapped by these four thugs during a visit to the city. “Maybe we can have some fun with him before we-“ The thugs are suddenly caught off guard by a knocking on the door of the small, dimly lit room. Before they can react, the door is kicked open, and Antoinette gracefully leaps towards the thugs.

The first is immediately killed when a dagger slides across his throat, and before his body can even fall Antoinette’s cold red eyes zero in on the other three. With a flick of her wrist, her dagger sails across the room and into the heart of the second thug. She dodges a swing of an axe, pulling two more blades out of her skirt. She stabs into the attacker’s arm, twisting him around and breaking his arm before burying her second blade into his throat. Finally, she turns to the last thug, who cries out in terror and turns to flee. Antoinette calmly draws another dagger from her skirt and tosses it, and the blade sinks into the man’s back, making him collapse with a thud.

“Targets neutralized.” Antoinette coldly confirms.

With the threats eliminated, Antoinette calmly unties you and bows. She gives you a ghost of a smile, uncaring for the blood splattered across her cheeks and dress. “Young master, I apologize for the late arrival.” She says, her voice emotionless save for a hint of warmth. “But it pleases me to see you unharmed. With your permission, I believe it’s time to leave this city earlier than expected and return home, hm?”
