Well done, shadowbindingshoe, for that is the answer!
Your question, Shoe!In Chapter 39 of AMRT was wrote:Behind the Castellan, six guards and as many captains led by Norge rushed from the stairwell one at a time to engage the Monomach's Apts.

Norge stooped, snatched up one of the bows. So placidly that he didn't seem to be hurrying, he flipped a shaft into Apt's throat.
Across the hall, one of Gart's men recklessly flung a dagger. It should have missed from that distance: its target should have seen it coming. Unluckily, he didn't. The guard went down with the blade buried in his left eye.
Norge shot the Apt cleanly in the chest.
