Assassin's Creed: Secrets

Chapter 12

Once we arrived at the palace first they got out then helped me out to both look and play the parts of the clothing we were all wearing. Then we all walked to the entrance and Pierre handed the guards at the gate what looked to be an invitation. Which soon made the guards open the gates.

"Welcome Miss Emilia enjoy your stay." The guards said as I walked past and I lightly nodded. So I guess my name is Amelia something or other. Hopefully using the last name won't come up.

I walked inside with Pierre and Arno trailing close behind in their armor before I nodded to them as we all separated to find Mr. Robespierre. I began to weave my way through the large crowd gathered outside the palace all talking. I occasionally stopped and talked with a few groups so I wouldn't look suspicious as guards did their patrol a few of them staring at me a little longer than they should.

When I started walking again I felt someone tap my shoulder as I nearly tripped over my own foot but quickly regained my composure. I turned around to see a rather large guard behind me to big to be Pierre or Arno.

"I apologize to startle you miss but you happen to look very familiar. Like a young girl I used to guard named Lilliana Marie De Franscis also you happened to drop this." The guard said handing me a ribbon off of my dress.

I tensed slightly at the mention of my name before I grabbed the ribbon in his hand before he roughly grabbed my hand making me flinch. I was about to protest before he quickly pulled my off into a corner with no people trapping me inbetween himself and the wall behind me.

"What are you doin-!" I began before he covered my mouth with his hand which scared me but his eyes were nervous and frantic at the same time.

"Lilliana I've been searching for you since the night of the party. Your father wanted me to find you he's waiting for you to come back home." He said before slowly uncovering my mouth.

"What are you talking about? My father and aunt are both dead! How could he tell you he wanted me to come home!" I loudly whispered feeling both insulted and anger for him bringing up my dad.

"Miss Lilliana, he's not dead!" The guard began then paused before looking around. "I can take you to him now you just have to trust me. Don't you remember me?"

I had to think for a moment and my head felt like it was spinning. How was my father alive? I mean I never actually saw his dead body but Arno wouldn't lie to me again. "Y-yes I remember you...but how is he alive? He was killed...please take me to him.." I said ignoring the voice in my head telling me not to go.

The guard offered his arm which I lightly took before we walked to the exit of the party into a carriage where I was sitting alone inside and the guard was driving it.

There's no way that he could be alive, could he?
