Oliver entered the study to find his Master sprawled across the ground.
"Y-your Grace!!!" he shouted, limping to the chair's side. Oliver gently picked Alya up off of the man, then knelt to see if the Duke was alive.
- well, Oliver could only hope that such might happen. But alas, the Duke was alive. The old man wondered why he would have dared hope the his Master had possibly passed away.
Several servants rushed into the study after Oliver's shout, and after a time his Grace was safely upstairs, in bed. This left Oliver sitting with Alya in the library, as the study had been closed for the time being.

Nam watched as the servants carried the Duke away, and silently hoped the fiend was dead so they could leave, but he doubted that even his luck was that good.

Nam admired Kryxel's compassion, and any that Nam himself had would be directed at Rosemary, though on the catious side Kryxel may be saying that to decieve all of the others.
Maybe he was over-reacting and no one really intended to kill anyone else. Maybe the joke was on him. He hoped so.
Even still, he pulled Battle Royale off of the fiction shelf with intent to scour the pages.

Nam raised his eyebrows at Kryxel's map, haven't having thought of the idea and mostly relying on memory. "Well," Nam said, looking at the map and thinking about bits and pieces of an old movie he'd watched through someone's open window. In the movie the portrait's eyes were cut out and people looked through them. He couldn't figure out why nobody noticed the lack of canvas in the most focal part of the pictures. There were also things hidden behind them. "Maybe there's some stuff in this hallway. Like in the movies."

"What's here?" Nam asked, pointing at the conservatory. "I haven't explored that far yet."

"Sounds good," Nam said, pocketing Battle Royale and a few other books about various things into the large pockets on the sides of his pants. Most of the books he had to regretfully leave behind because of their size. Picking up his broken chair legs (he noticed Kryxel had one as well), he nodded politely at Stephanie and glanced at Oliver, wondering what the man could be thinking, and left the room with Kryxel.

Nam started at the comment, but answered truthfully, "In all honesty, this is an unnerving situation, and out of all of us here, you seem the most likely to be capeable of beating me to a bloody pulp. I know profiling is wrong, but I'd rather be cautious then dead."

Alya looked at Oliver and swung her legs looking guilty
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt him! I just wanted to say good morning" She said and then placed a thumb in her mouth sucking it, feeling really really bad

"and cautious you should be...but i am not your enemy. i am just a cop and i have served in the military. so in being your greatist threat...i am also your greatist chance to escape." kryxel said without smiling.
