@A Wikia contributor: it seems that you don't need to protect them. In my second playthrough I jumped over to the water side (if you fall there, you die, but I didn't fall) and couldn't come back, the assassins just stood there looking dangerous, watching me struggle, and then a cutscene started with me next to the empress and her daughter (though right before that I was stranded outside the gazebo and couldn't have come back by myself, as I said). I thought something happened and I "saved" them (I didn't remember what happened the first time I played the game) but then Daud came :(
