Allow them

Before you could finish your sentence, Cornelia pulls out her hairpin, which turns out wasn't a hairpin at all, but a small dagger, hidden there! She tries to stab you, but in the last moment, Robert tosses you aside and the dagger bounces off of his armour. She is disarmed and held down by your men in an eyelash. Giovanni is shocked by the sight and runs to her wife with tears in his eyes, but he is also grabbed and **** to the ground.

Giovanni (with tears in his eyes): Why did you do that my dear...?! Why destroy our future like that...?!

Cornelia (without remorse): The Shepherd wanted her dead! She is the reason Sofia isn't with us anymore! The order won't forget that!

Robert: The order...?

Lily: Wait, is that about Sofia...?!

Giovanni: That damn woman! She had Cornelia in her grasp, I though her influence over her was over, but I was wrong! Please, don't hurt her, she is only being used by them!

Lily: By them? Who are they?!

Cornelia: We are the ones, who will bring in a new era into this immoral world! Under the guidance of our Shepherd, the world will be reborn and...!

Before she could finish and arrow pierces her heart, killing her in an instant. You all turn at the origin of the arrow and spot the shadowy figure again, disappearing into behind a building. Robert leaves a handful of knights{if Erik = true}, involving Erik,{endif} with you and gives chase. Giovanni is crying at the loss of his wife, you try to ask him what he knows about the things she was saying and Sofia's order in general. He is too busy mourning his lost love. You go back into the manor and take Giovanni with you to take him into custody, just in case. A few hours later Robert returns.

Robert: The bastard got away, we found the watchmen dead, he must have shot them, then entered unnoticed, killing Cornelia and leaving the same way he came. We were tracking him in the woods, but the show has covered his tracks so we had to return empty handed.

Lily: I'll ask Giovanni to tell me all he knows about this tomorrow, as for today, let's retire and rest.

{if Julia home = true}You also pay a visit to Julia and tell her what has happened. She can't believe the story, she has known them both for a long time and neither of them caused any such trouble before! She knew them as a hard working couple. Later, she reluctantly shares with you, that she might have spent some time in the company of Cornelia in private... Aaand, she might have been doing similar stuff with a few men in Julia's manor... Certainly Giovanni knew of them. Maybe she shouldn't be meet with him just yet, better not put more stress on his nerves after the **** of his wife. When your talk has been concluded, you head towards your room, when you hear your name called from behind your back.{endif}

{if Erik = false}

Robert: My lady! I definitely cannot allow you to spend even one minute without your guards nearby! Had I not been present earlier, you might not be alive now! The threat we face is far worse than we originally thought! We better prepare for the worst now! I'll arrange for two men to be standing by your door at all times and personally stay within your room with you every day, until the one responsible for this is apprehended!

Lily: Robert, this is kind of you but... You can't just spend all your time next to me!

Robert: Forgive me my lady, but it's necessary for your safety. Please, forgive any inconveniences!

Lily (thinking): Hmm... This gives me a few ideas...! Inconveniences huh? We'll see about that!

Lily: Alright, but that means spending the night with in my room, are you aware that too?

Robert (after a brief thinking): Yes, I'm aware that...

Lily: Wonderful!

{if Lord Michael = true}Your husband wants to have a talk with you, as it has been the second time somebody tried to **** you in your lands, there must be precautions. He's going to borrow some soldiers from George to further ensure you are well protected! Some of his men are stationed nearby for the winter, they will arrive within a few days time, he has already written the letter to George and will ride out to his troops personally. At the meantime, he'll order every able bodied soldier here to watch out for your safety 0-24. You thank him for his caring attention, give him a kiss and part ways. He rides out with two guards, all of them going undercover, in cloaks and hoods. As soon as he leaves, Robert arrives, ready to stay by your side in every second.{endif}

He truly won't go back on his promise, he follows you everywhere all day long. Even when you take a bath, though despite your attempts, he won't be looking at your naked body, before you are properly dried and clothed. He escorts you into your room, blushingly turns away when you bring up the topic of sleeping naked, to get on his nerves. You place your dress on a chest, then lay on the bed and pull the blanket onto you, so that he could finally look at your direction without having to cover his eyes. He at least takes his armour off, that way at least his shoulders can rest as he is sitting on a chair next to your door. You are talking for hours before you decide it's time to sleep.

Lily: Aren't you going to change shift with somebody? You too must be tired and should take a little rest!

Robert: Certainly not my lady! I personally volunteered to stay up all night to vigilantly watch over you! I cannot allow myself the luxury of sleeping tonight!

Lily (teasing): But you could at least take a little rest any lay here, next to me...!

Robert: Please, Lady Lily, don't even tempt me with such things, I shouldn't even think of such things, let alone do them!

Lily (noticing his boner through his pants): But I do believe you would like to do that very much, despite your ****!

Robert (embarrassingly covering his boner): My lady, please, you have been playing your games on me for a very long time now, I believe it has been far enough, this is the threshold I cannot cross...!

Lily (teasing him further by lifting the blanket and showing him your naked body): I, as your lady, grant you permission to cross it, if you would like to...!

After seconds of staring at you, he covers his eyes and doesn't say a word. You wonder how he is going to respond to you now...
