He was focused on the attacker, with an anger that he wanted to go after him and keep punching him. He just couldn't believe how close he had allowed him to the princess, so maybe he was only angry at himself. When Liza took his hand, he relaxed a little and opened it, letting her see his cut. It hurt him as he moved his hand, but he didn't show it. Anyway, it didn't take long since the man of the floor started moving, and Rowan hurried to catch him, taking his hand from hers. Before he could finish standing up, the knight grabbed him by his clothes and lifted him in the air, roughly crashing him against the wall. Rowan was still holding the knife that used to belong to the servant, and was now dangerously close to his throat.
"Who do you work for? Are you really a servant?" Rowan asked, almost in a growl, with anger on his voice. Rowan was always a calm person, but it seemed that the princess being in such danger riled him.
"Why would I ever tell you?" said the man, with a slight smile on his face. He pulled him away from the wall and crashed him once again, with a lot more strength. His bones sounded against the rough concrete and he made a groan of pain. "Ok, ok. He's... he's a true ruler, and I'm only following his order so that he can take the power he deserves. I've been pretending to be a servant for a while now, but this was my first chance to get close to Elizabeth."
"Are there others in the castle like you?" asked, and as he noticed he was taking to long to answer, he moved the knife closer to his throat. It wasn't until it made a small cut on him that he started talking.
"Yes, yes. They are waiting for other orders, though."
"Tell me his name." The guard ordered, wanting to know more about that man that was after the princess and her family's power.
"No." he simply answered, and, at that answer, Rowan punched him once again and left him fall, unconscious. He was really making him more upset and didn't want to lose the rest of his nerves, not in front of the princess at least.
