According to our plan to get rid of Stephen, the person who would attempt to 'assassinate' me had to both fail and be aware of the plan.
Therefore, trusting anyone other than ourselves was out of the question.
For this reason, the person who would attempt the assassination was Alex himself.
I thought that while no one was watching us, we would simply stir things up a bit and not get involved in anything more.
However... the moment I saw the knife in front of my eyes, my mind changed.
This... wasn't just simply stirring things up.
The knife's target was truly to kill me.
Still, it wouldn't be able to achieve that goal so easily, obviously.
Because even though my reaction time was limited, even though I didn't have eyes everywhere...
Sith was a separate being from me.
~fwoosh!
The sudden change in the air currents around me caused the blade to change direction. Its path bent so it would pass right by my ear, and it embedded itself in the wall behind me.
