Janette tried to force a smile, but she knew that there was no chance of it happening.
As Grazen left, she began to arrange herself in an orderly fashion, before the sounds of knocking were heard on the door, and a gruff voice shouted through.
"This is a guard's inspection, open up!" The voice carried into the room and Janette froze, terrified. Megraph rose to protect her, and she found herself truly afraid.
She made one final attempt to hide her true identity, by slashing her face with a knife. Hopefully it would stave the identification off long enough for her to be rescued. Or executed.
Then, very suddenly, the door exploded, and Janette saw the men entering, wielding huge weapons.
She cowered in fear, and in her idiocy, stared at them with her
cursed eye.
"Witch-mage! Arrest her!" The man shouted, before Megraph hissed loudly at him, and caught his attention.
