"Care to dance with me Lilian?" Said Nox offering his arm. Nox knew Lilian was really the notorious assassin Celaena Sardothien as he had told him during their alliance while they competed against other criminals for the tittle of the Kings Champion.

Celaena took his arm and they waltzed across the dance floor.

"I heard that the King is behind everything that is going on" said Nox in a hushed voice.
"Behind the assassinations?"
"Yes.
