'many had thought that what happened at the central square is a terrorist attack. Many believed they saw the same lady from the last public execution, we still can't confirm if this is true unless we get an answer from the royal guards. The warden is currently in recover due to the fight he had with the said 'terrorist'. Many claimed that it want a terrorist attack but the lady from the last public execution struck again along with her desciple, she and her desciple are seen wearing a pair of mask. If you do see them do not hesitate to call the authorities.'

A groan of annoyance can be heard from zui. "why do they assume that I'm your desciple?" She said as she toss the newspaper on your face.

You caught the newspaper just in time before it hit your face, you chuckled and opened the paper and started reading the news. Underneath all of the texts were a picture of you on the stage, you have your mask on and the hood of your cloak is on your head- giving you off an intimidating look. On the other picture was zui, she was holding her crossbow in hand with a firework loaded in it. The pictures were taken when you were supposed to end the warden's life and zui's picture was taken when she was on the trees.

"I don't know, maybe because I'm an expert when it comes to stalling time?"

She then gasped dramatically, putting a hand on her chest as if she got hurt. "I was trying my best to get those pesky guards off of my tail! They keep coming and coming as if there no end to them! And because of them I wasted my last fireworks." She retorted as she whipped her hair.

You then rolled your eyes, "we can always buy another stack." You spoke as you stood up from the couch. She then flashed you a devious grin, "or we can steal another stack."

You flashed her a glare before scoffing, "The guards are more active these days, we can't risk going back to our routine. Thanks to the show we put up yesterday they're even on high alert than before." She then groaned in annoyance, flopping on the couch as you went to a chest where you stored your boots. "This sucks, I'm just stuck here all day." She complained as she put a pillow on her face and screamed there, her scream become muffled due to the pillow.

You then opened the chest and pulled out your boots and put them on, she then paused her little tantrum and looked at you. "Where are you going?" She asked, sitting up properly.

"Town, i still haven't gotten a good grip on their routine. It's better to double check before we make a move." You then pulled out your scarf and put it around your neck. You grabbed a pair of black gloves and put them on your bandaged palms, your palms have a large gash on it from holding the blades too long. Zui scolded you for the whole night on how you could've gotten caught if you weren't fast enough.

You ended up sleeping through her mid scolding.

"Aren't you scared? What if they saw you there?" You then turned to her and smiled, "they won't." You then motioned your head to your mask that's place on a table. "I won't take long, I'll be back before you know it."

She then rolled her eyes and flopped back down on the couch, "I bet you're gonna take at least an hour to get back." You then walked to the door and grabbed a vine, "Why is that?" You asked, turning to look at her.

"Maybe because sir warden is gonna be there?" She then flashed you a teasing smile and wiggles her eyebrows up and down. You frowned at her rolled your eyes, "The news said he's currently recovering, this is a perfect time to go there without him seeing me."

Zui then snorted and put on a blanket on her figure, "Whatever, if you get caught I'm not saving you." She joked as she get on a comfortable position on the couch.

You didn't replied anything and instead you just chuckled in return, you gripped the vine and slid down the tree. The snow beneath you crunched as you started walking out of the woods, you put your gloved hands on your pocket as it lightly throb from the fabric holding onto them.
