#crowley everytime this happens: There is bo assassin in NRC they would have already tried to kill Riddle otherwise

[sleepyorchidmonster]

Once upon a time, a couple of assassins sneaked into NRC, but no one knew the targets (they were after all of the princes, so Leona, Kalim and Malleus), so everyone was in high alert.

Silver, Lillia and Sebek were constantly patrolling the grounds, but they coudn't do much during housewarden meetings (even though Malleus always misses those, he made an effort to actually be present so he could protect the others).

So Silver and Sebek asked Riddle to keep an eye on everyone, especially considering how useful "Off With Your Head" is in those types of situations.

A few days later, right before the meeting, the criminals attacked Riddle (he wasn't the main target, they just wanted to keep him and his unique magic out of the way. Imagine you're gearing up to fight The Malleus Draconia and this tiny gremlin with anger issues cancels out your magic and then throws a fireball at your face.)

Riddle came out of the attack mostly unscathed and then rushed to the dormleader meeting (if the assassins didn't want him there, then he was DEFINETELY going, also the rules said so and he was LATE).

When he finally arrived in the Hall of Mirrors, there was already an all out brawl between the dormheads and the criminals, with Leona and Malleus being absolute monsters and Kalim and Azul teaming up.

Needless to say, the enemies didn't last long, even without the redheads interference.

Then everyone went to the infirmary, because the assassins came prepared and threw everything made of iron they could find at Malleus, not to mention a few explosive potions, also Riddle had at least 3 stab wounds.

One minute of silence to mourn Idia's tablet.
