At Kane's mention of his room, Shin just gazed towards the ground with a bitter expression. On what grounds does he have the right to even consider making others clean up after another one of his messes. The thought made Shin dig his nails further into his own skin, deeper than he already has been.

".........."

Kane was right about one thing though, many things about Shin needed to change if he were to rid the world of what he was. His filth would be a good place to start.

Kane could tell that there was a lukewarm response, though he didn't seem to react too much to it. It seems he expected as much. To Reiko, however, he did speak up.

"...Ulux is definitely in disarray, and it's hard to see it all happening not too far from us. It makes you wonder what exactly King Darcy is doing... though apprehending him is not our goal, it'd be nice if we could do a little more. But hopefully..."

Kane sighed through his nose, about to speak up again until the wagon came to a stop. Kane peeked out and surveyed the area...

"As planned, a side entrance they've left so helpfully unguarded... certainly strange that it would be so unguarded. Let's proceed with caution but still hurry— just in case someone's patrolling the area."

...

As you all got dressed up for the job, you all notice that there are still no guards. Kane motions for everyone to pile in through the entrance, moving slowly through the corridors. The air seems thick, somehow. It's hard to breathe, and it makes you want to stop... until you see the body of a guard on the ground near the stairs. Kane looks alarmed.

"...there's someone here that isn't afraid to kill," Kane inspects the body while speaking in a low whisper. "No arrows or signs of death by poisoning or even magic, it's doubtful that it's the Icons of Sin. His face and the marks around his neck seem to imply strangulation, or choking. But what...?"

Kane immediately stops once another conversation in the other room is heard.

"Look, it's not my fault he didn't listen! I'm just doing my job!"

"Some of us wanted to sleep, but His Majesty ordered us awake. Therefore, we're doing what he told us to do. You can't be trusted. Just keep to your post."

"Rgh... that idiot...!"

Kane furrows his brow, taking a quick peek around the corner and then swiftly moving away.

"Sorry to interrupt the stealth mission, but I quickly counted at least ten guys in that area and possibly more considering the potential blind spots; according to Queen Stella's report, the throne room is to the right and then just dead ahead. We have no other option but to fight our way through. Prepare to move out, team!"

Reiko had planned on following the general plan of trying to sneak their way through to the goal; if this were her homeland's castle, it would be a different story, but as it was, there was very little reason to hold much of a grudge against the rank and file guards here. In a country with so little, it's likely enough they took their positions in hopes of alleviating such poverty. If they came across the king, though, well...that might be a coin-toss.

That didn't seem to be in the cards at the moment, though--as Kane's quick sitrep let them know, there didn't seem to be much hope of avoiding a fight. That was...fine. That was fine. If they wanted to avoid her blade then they'd have one chance to do so.

Making sure her mask is secure on her face, she steps out from their hiding place and readies her sword, getting herself in a suitable stance to dodge any incoming fire.

"If you value your life then you may leave and tell no one you saw us. Otherwise, it won't be pleasant."

It probably won't work, but shit, it's worth a shot.

Reiko to I-18, activate Leaf on the Wind.

Lizaveta actually found that she didn't mind the idea of returning to their base and taking a break at all... the events of the last few weeks had been completely exhausting, in retrospect, and she was starting to feel herself dragging just a bit. Still... she couldn't let herself slow down! She braced herself, made a little noise, hyping herself up and trying to get energy into her for these crucial moments before the adrenaline properly kicked in.

She was, at least, happy to give a piece of shit king like Darcy what was coming to him, as much as she could. She didn't mind taking his relic in the slightest.

"People like your king devoid of virtue will inevitably find people like us in the way!"

K17, Worm Fencer!

When Reiko was noticed, the reaction was not pleasant nor was it exactly welcoming. Immediately, the guards all took a fighting stance, ready to be engaged in combat. One of the Fighters called back.

"Oi! We've got intruders! They look like a buncha bandits to me- wait, those masks... stay on your guard!"

Reiko gains +26 Evasion and loses a counterattack!

The Fencer, thankfully due to Reiko's sudden presence, was able to get himself ready for Lizaveta's onslaught. Watching carefully for the attack, he swiftly dodged out of the way at a speed one would not normally expect from someone holding a giant sword.
