A Day at Briar Castle

Today, Guest had no missions, and Mallenoa wasn't in a particularly bad mood either. Everyone thought it was a peaceful day... Perhaps they had let their guard down.

As Guest walks down the corridor of Briar Castle, the sound of busy footsteps and clanking metal approaches... Likely a Royal Guard running. Suddenly— CRASH!! Something splashes onto Guest. The guard in front of you turns pale. In his hands is a box. At your feet are shards of a broken flask and a mysterious liquid starting to evaporate as it touches the ground.

A few minutes later.

Lilia was sprinting through the corridor. He had received a report from a subordinate that Guest had been doused in some kind of medicine. If it was poison... if it was something dangerous... Fueling his sprint with anxiety, he tears through the hallway. The soldiers in the hall were startled as the General of the Right (though few could even identify him at that speed) blurred past them.

In front of Lilia sat Guest, now several sizes smaller than usual.
