Assassin's Tools

Aria completes the powerful enchantments around the bedroom to keep Eve and Margaret safe. She also places similar enchantments around Josephine's house, but the protection around that particular bedroom is impenetrable even to a Master Mage.

As she finishes turning the room into a fortress, Arthur says goodbye to Eve. The little girl may be smart, but she doesn't fully understand what is happening.

"It's going to be alright, little bug," he kisses her forehead and pats her head. "Tomorrow, we'll play a lot, so behave while Mommy and I are out."

"Mm," Eve nods with an expectant smile on her face.

Arthur then turns to Margaret, who wears a gentle smile, though her eyes show confusion. "Do you really have to do this?" she asks while holding his hands.

He strokes her hands with his fingers. "Yes, I need to do this."

Margaret hugs Arthur tightly and kisses his neck while whispering. "Then do it and come back to me safely."
