They had left nothing but bread crumbs for Audrey to follow. She had been on her own business when the blonde couldn’t help but overhear two women from the Tenement District talking.Did you see that noblewoman challenge that man to a duel? Surely the Peacekeepers have been notified. That man looked really injured, the noblewoman called him Mr. Wilde. That’s all Audrey needed before she dropped her groceries and grabbed the woman by the shoulder roughly. The woman shrieked and looked back at the girl incredulously.
“Where is the duel being held?” “The abandoned building near the clinic in the Tenement District.” No other words were exchanged and Audrey had left in a full sprint.
She cut her way through, making time instead of running through the streets—jumping over fences and pulling herself up rooftops. Time was of the essence as if determined who was dead or alive. Peeking her head through the unlocked door, she saw the two in the distance. Cian, you dumbfuck. Her eyes drifted to the woman and her onslaught of attacks before they widened in shock. A-alecta. She hadn’t seen the woman since she walked out of her mentorship.
Audrey’s hand immediately went to the giant shuriken sheathed on her back. Using Vanish, she crept inside quietly, making sure to keep her feet light and avoid kicking any fallen debris. She continued to watch the two fight, seemingly invisible to them with their level of concentration on each other. Gritting her teeth at Cian’s state, tt was when Alecta had succeeded to pin him that she finally stepped into action. Flicking her shuriken open, she sprinted forward, standing over Alecta with one of the curved blades at her neck.
