Guard duty

We have been ordered by Count Arganon to supplement the knights of the castle in chapter 9, and we dutifully welcome everyone into the Ballroom. There's lots of chatter and it's possible to listen to people chatting - which is odd when later in the game people are talking about me and I'm right there - about the royal engagement and the hubbub before the wedding.


Soon we are introduced to Princess Calista, slowly walking down the double flight of stairs and to the thrones. Soon she disappears to the balcony behind the thrones because she is so sickened by her husband-to-be. Dagran manages to sneak me out and I start to talk to her, when that nasty piece of work fiance comes to challenge me over my interest in his beloved. 


Before we can proceed any further, we are interrupted by a Gurak attack. It devastates the castle (and not for the last time either) and in the ballroom we meet the leader of the Gurak - a huge man not dissimilar to Ganondorf. I can't hurt him (because he has a personal forcefield) and he sends me across the room. Calista rushes to me to try and help me up but when I awake, Calista has been kidnapped and I make my way through his various attack parties to the castle exit.
