Summary
The yearly Goldsmith masquerade was the premiere event of the year. Anybody that somebody was invited, people tripping over themselves and begging for a mere chance to get that coveted gold piece of paper.
Or, alternatively, if you were a nobody, you could get really good at forgeries.

Summary
It was perhaps a bit worryingly easy to sneak onto the castle grounds to the point that it felt like a trap. That didn’t stop Martyn from doing it over and over again.
Within a mere week of the masquerade he had started casing out the place to try and meet Apo again. In his teen years he had done quite a few robberies before he realized it was easier to get people to willingly open their doors for you, but he still retained the muscle memory. What he had discovered was that the castle seemed more like it was designed to keep things in as opposed to out. Less a castle and more a prison, which was… concerning, but that just made him more determined to flounce all over that and slip in and out with ease.
Point being, the first time he had scaled the wall to Apo’s room she had nearly punched him right back out the window, but now they had a nice little thing going on. Martyn would help her sneak out, they would run the streets for a few hours, and then he would return her before her stepfather suspected a thing.
