After being kicked out of the palace, Analeis quickly approached the teleportation circle. She wanted to get out of Velrune as soon as possible, but misfortune followed her. The teleportation circle mysteriously malfunctioned just before it was her turn.
Next, she approached the carriages and was willing to pay ten times the usual price. But none agreed to take her.
It was the Emperor's doing, but Analeis didn't have time to dwell on such things. She had to leave, even if it meant going on foot. Time was running out.
Then, she felt it.
Someone, no, at least a dozen people, were following her. They were the Emperor's hounds, an elite assassin group that didn't care about honor, pride, or doing the right thing.
The Emperor's bidding was their sole purpose in life, and since Analeis had disrespected him, she had to die. Contrary to her suspicions, danger wasn't just behind her.
