[Running away, was it? That sealed the matter. The attacker would have to die.
Especially after that knife is thrown at her. It's all too clear what this was: an assassination attempt. It would be a just death, in this case. Anyone would do the same, for someone trying to kill them.
She knocks the knife away with one end of her trident, making no move to catch it; if it's out of reach, that suits her purposes just fine. It clatters to the first floor, and that ensures that it won't be a problem anymore. Then, she moves to give chase, and she doesn't use the same trick twice.
The Empress tucks her weapon under one arm - she's trained with it all her life and knows how to run with it with no danger to herself. She has a swimmer's physique, and that includes the strength in her legs that allows her to run towards the wall and jump off, using that to propel herself up and onto the next floor. Now that she's close enough, she'll stab forward, aiming to pin Chloe's knife hand down.]
