Before anyone in the Palace could figure out what had happened, Crown Prince Lukas and Karl were already leading a small procession out of the Palace.
They were accompanied by a dozen guards, four maids from the Crown Prince's suite, and one grizzled carriage driver, who looked more than a little annoyed to be sent away from the Palace just when things were starting to get interesting.
But he wasn't told the whole story, only that the Crown Prince's hatchling needed a calm environment for her early development, and that would not be available in the Palace during renovations.
He didn't know that they were the target of the attack, or even that it was an attack at all, and not a tragic accident during training.
Everyone knew that there was a new training area in that wing, but none of them knew yet that the training area was intact and functional, not the source of the problem.
