The Gong filled the sky and Lydia immediately had a bad feeling. 

'Her majesty is either dead or will be soon.' She thought grimly. 

The sour face she made shocked the nobles around her. The Gong had silenced them, for the most part, but now the silence was for a different reason. She turned to those around her then and whispered: "I now go into hiding. I suggest that you all run, hide, and avoid Wizards if you wish to live." 

Lydia looked around and saw Otho being helped back in the room by a serving girl. She walked up to him, moving past several people who were still asking questions and not liking the many 'I don't know' answers that she gave.
