Justinian stood up, taking a quick overview of the situation.
The two princes were already taken into account, all surrounded by personal knights; the king and queen, however, were nowhere to be found, but with Velen already acting, it meant they were just as safe.
As for Maria, it seemed like he was responsible for her safety.
Justinian took a quick check of his system, and it seemed like it still hadn't changed.
It still wanted him to maintain favor with the princess, and with the current chaos, this was the exact time he could do it.
'Did it predict this outcome?'
Justinian acted quickly and immediately relocated to another part of the huge manor, one where the royal ball was most silent.
"I apologize for dragging you around."
Justinian led her to a spacious room that had only four other nobles inside. It was only a transitional room filled with decorations; it had nothing interesting or was not even decorated for the ball.
