When I played, it was four assassins not two... and even then, the reason Corvo was stopped was by yet another that immediately used tethering upon him.

Then, when Corvo dispatched his enemies he checked on the Empress, his ward, to make sure she was safe. When the next group attacked, less than 5 seconds took place.

Also, bodyguards have a tendency to rely upon either themselves or (if part of a small group) their fellow teammates as that way they know what each is capable of, rather than using local military efforts, thus his hesitation to call out. This explains why Corvo is so much a loner - he does things his own way because he knows he's more capable than others. This could be one of his greatest flaws, but it does speak to his personality.

Plus, really? The guards just happen to leave right BEFORE this happens? Yeah, any decent bodyguard worth his salt would find that highly suspicious. I wouldn't have called for them either. Besides, since the DLC is considered 'canon' then in the Knife of Dunwall, Daud sees Corvo shooting the assassins. If repeated gunfire doesn't bring immediate aid, I doubt cries for help would produce a greater result.
