Snippet #1460618

An assassin! As he had predicted, but as the man explained himself, he realized his true intention was not to slit throats, but for information. The young nobleman listened intently to Amon Gregory, nodding as the assassin finished each point. So the Princess had wanted to visit herself- of course, as high royalty she had something better to do than visit a sickly young nobleman for anything else.

So, Loki was planning on releasing news of her race for senate? Of course, she should be assured that he had his support in all of this due to their agreement. "I see." was his only reply. When it came to dealing with assassins, Taylor had very little experience in the matter. He never consulted one, nor has the need ever arisen that he should hire them. His own police force of District Alpha had been able to solve all of his problems. He decided, that he would be as respectful as possible. Amon Gregory was the guildmaster, after all.

Ahh, Goldwater. Once again, his name comes up. He had heard, and dismissed it as a death by asphyxiation of an assassin, but Amon's revelations showed that his chemicals might have something to do with this murder. Lacing his fingers together, he leaned forward.

"And I will answer you to the best of my ability, Sir Gregory." He replied. "However, you informed me I would be able to ask questions of my own." He paused. "First, do you intend on ever killing me for the knowledge you and I both know passed in the dungeons? Second, do you think the Princess has a chance of securing Goldwater's seat? And third, as a reference, how much of the chemicals I produce has been used for your... business?"

Most of them were just out of pure curiosity. He already knew that the Princess was planning on running very soon, and he still had Gregory to recount his witness of Goldwater's murder before making any decisions in what may have transpired that fateful night.
