Leon's carriage drove past District 44 under the moonlight, as a dozen soldiers wearing armor with the House Valentine crest circled around.
It was almost midnight.
Leon glanced out of the window and saw how unusually quiet everything was. The lanterns outside each home had run out of oil, making the atmosphere dangerously sharp.
It would still take Leon around seventy more minutes before reaching Eclipse Institute. It was enough time to proceed with an assassination attempt.
There were around seven routes to reach Eclipse from the cathedral, and according to High Priest Luthan, all seven routes had assassins planted by those noble houses he mentioned.
So there was no way of escaping it, unless Leon decided not to leave the Valentine House tonight.
