Rhemic Empire (2)

At the appointed time, Astel, Halmeldir, One-Eyed, Autumn, Summer, and Rudbeks used their usual underground passage and headed straight to the Tehan Quarter, where the capital's music academy was located, and where a concert featuring Akkerwald's best musicians was soon to take place. To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, they decided to carry out the capture in another part of the city, as this area had a high level of security. Before the operation began, Astel handed one copy of "Lime" to Halmeldir, keeping the other for himself. As Vesna, who bought them at "Citrus," believed, this device was necessary for the successful implementation of all stages of their plan. Having finished with preparations, Astel went inside the academy, while the rest of the team tried to stay as far away from it and other crowded places as possible, not least because many of them were wanted. When the musicians finished playing their favorite piece, Twice and Pantaleia headed towards the exit, which Astel informed his partners about. He stayed in the hall for a while longer to allow Twice and Pantaleia to go their separate ways. Then he left the hall and then the academy, after which he followed his target, regularly updating information about their location using this device, which was so useful for such missions. The wife of the first minister and Duke Larian walked leisurely through the city streets towards her home, accompanied by four people – two women and two men armed with ethereal revolvers and katanas.
