A Reversal of Surprise

The following morning, the sun would rise to find Armani hiding
out of sight on the castle ramparts, tired but happy.
He'd worked through the night long after everyone else was
asleep, and this morning the castle was braced against an
oncoming assault, which he knew would begin before too long.
His memory from the first timeline told him that nobody would be
around to notice something odd at the gate until the chaos
began, but he kept a wary eye on the gates from both sides from
his hiding place. He wanted Malko and the others to be confused
and open to an attack from above, but he didn't want the people
still in here with him to inadvertently try and open the door
for their enemies before they knew what was going on.

However, several priests arrived at the door in the early
morning to prepare for the coronation.
Elixis was with them as he still looked as miserable as
yesterday.

"Damn it, I didn't see him the first time. He must have been off
somewhere when the attack came..." Armani said, trying to think
of how to let the priests in without having to explain anything.
There wouldn't be time; Malko's attack wasn't far off now.

Elixis knocked politely on the door as he called out "We're here
to start the coronation"

"Elixis!" Armani called, showing himself on the battlements.
"Take the priests to the side entrance of the castle! I'll let
you in!"

Elixis blinked "Is something wrong with the front?"

"There's no time to explain. I promise, it will all make sense
soon." Armani said.

"Um, if you say so" Elixis nodded, leading the priests to the
side.

Armani took a moment to clear aside his bracing, but then he
opened the door to let them in.
"Hurry, inside."

"Is something happening, Armani?" Elixis frowned as the priests
went inside as planned.
