"Kari!!" Alva tried to call out as he ran after the woman, but it was no use. He lost her.

Meanwhile, Kari found a nearby dark alley at a dead end. She stopped on her tracks and looked back at her pursuers. There were three masked men, cloaked in black cloaks. As they grew assured of her identity, they took out thin swords, almost like needles. Kari cursed to herself.

"Kari Faust." One of them spoke in a belligerent tone. "For the crime of kidnapping the crown prince, the king asks for your head."

"Kidnapping!" Kari scoffed. "Who said I kidnapped that oaf?" 

The masked assassin raised his sword. "Repent, you criminal! And we shall give you a painless death."
