Jupiter giggled. 'They do!' she exclaimed, watching the couple as they walked away. 'That's actually really accurate.'
-
She couldn't hold back the laughter at this point. "Waddle waddle waddle" she says, mimicking their walk as she giggled
-
Jupiter cracked up. She covered her mouth but it did nothing to stop her laughs.
-
She stopped laughing abruptly as crashing came from inside. "Come on." She said, eyes wide as she grabs Claudia's hand and drags her through the gardens. "It was either a failed assasination attempt, which is dangerous to be around, or just a brawl. Let's hope it was the latter, but it's better to be safe than sorry." She says quietly once they got far enough away. "Dinner parties are always the best place for an assasination attempt, unfortunately."
-
Jupiter nodded. ‘Right,’ she said, trying not to feel to bad. This was her job. And if she failed again… ‘That must suck.’
-
"Meh, not much. Makes me feel like a ninja when i'm escaping the scene." She smiles, trying to lighten the mood.
-
Jupiter chuckled. She thought what a stupid way to get a royal killer - disrupt a dinner party and do it in public. If she tried that she’d end up either a wanted criminal or a prisoner. Neither idea appealed to her.
-
"It's not that bad, really. There hasn't been many assassinations recently. Must be someone on security, or something like that." She waved a hand absently. "Anyways, there's not really any reason to assassinsate the nobles. We're not the king, there's not much we can do but barely influence him." She leaned in close. "Don't tell anyone i said this, but my father is one of the ones closest to the king, and his words actually carry a bit more weight than others. But don't tell anyone!! My family could be targeted by assassins if they found out. I've heard stories of other family's daughters and sons being kidnapped or even killed to sway the noble's opinion." Akira says quietly.
-
Jupiter nodded. That was the exact plan of the spy agency. She tried not to seem too suspicious about that. 'Right. I won't tell anyone, promise,' she said, feigning a smile.
-
"Thank you." She smiled a bit. She heard a rustle in the grass nearby and froze. A few minutes passed and she let out a breath. "I think it's safe to go back now." She said, looking back at the house, every window lit up.
-
‘If you’re sure,’ Jupiter said with a nervous laugh.
-
"Do you not feel safe going back yet?" Akira asks, little confused and worried.
-
Jupiter shrugged. ‘Well, being killed isn’t a very appealing idea,’ she said, a nervous edge to her voice despite her smile. She was sure that if there had been an attempted assassination, it wouldn’t have been from the spy organisation she was apart of. It would’ve been someone else, who could take her hostage and make her spill every secret. She wasn’t sure what scared her most - the fact she could put so many people in danger or that, if she was held hostage, her boss wouldn’t care.
She shook the thought away and focused on Akira. -
"Oh, alright. Well, we could take a cab back to my estate, you could stay there until you can go home?" Akira suggests
-
Jupiter nodded. ‘Yes, that sounds much better,’ she said with a more relaxed smile. Her deadline was Friday, two days from now. The sooner she did the deed, the better. She didn’t want to grow too close to Akira… like last time.
