After grabbing the king by the neck, he then grabbed his own dagger from his uniform. He then started threatening him with the dagger by hitting him from the wall.
“Good! New plan!” He said with a cold smile. Just as he said that he looked at Elena, who had a fierce expression. She was clearly displeased with how he threatened the king.
“You are going to lower your sword, and you are going to get out of the way. Chronna and I will leave, and as soon as we leave the castle, I will free the king,” Elena said while glaring at him. Her hands were free from any weapon, but Ethan was so sure that she could grab any the very moment she had the opportunity.
Ethan was on full alert. He was looking at every aspect with caution. A part of him regretted taking action so soon. A part of him thought that it might have been better to have more preparation. However, there was no medicine for regret.
All he could do now was continue. He could only
Elena watched him from the window and was surprised. She and the young man met a gaze when the woman with the power of her captain yelled at her.“Capture the savior!! I try to kill the king and kidnap the queen!! Her betrayal was present!!”All the soldiers waited for that order, but when they saw Elena’s face, she was bleeding from her nose, which made everyone feel afraid of the saved if he could do that to her. He was a fearsome man.However, they all prepared to capture him. Ethan was now an enemy of the kingdom.Ethan looked back at the window where Elena was, and he wanted to go back up, rescue Chronna, but he knew that he could not.Even if he beat Elena, it was likely that leaving that place with Chronna would be impossibleLooking around him, he saw how the soldiers cornered him. Many were simply in the castle stables, but others were fully equipped.His uniforms were black, but his breastplate and shoulder
He was just focused on getting away from his captors and did not notice that he was already injured. It must be because of the falls and the shots that had managed to reach him. Before he could realize it, he was had already been wounded in the arm and also had a cut above his eyebrow.It didn’t matter. He was still alive, and that’s all that matters. With that in mind, Ethan bitterly smiled as he endured the pain. Despite his struggles, There were no signs of giving up in his expression. He got up, and then he raised his hands before he declared with a grin, “Close your eyes! Asshole!”And releasing two stun grenades that his printer created and then exploded, releasing an enormous amount of light and sound. All the men were distracted, and Ethan taking inventory from him, let out a retractable noose he had and shot the soldier n the shoulder straight on the scaffold.Ethan pulled again the rope that was attached to the sol
Two days had passed since the incident with Ethan, but it was still the most relevant and important piece of information in the kingdom. In fact, some citizens had already earned so much just to retell the story.It was actually surprising for the citizens to be still allowed to talk about it. After all, it was the disgrace of the royal soldiers for letting just one person escape from the palace.There were pamphlets and news about his terrible attack that was passed through all the towns of the kingdom and especially in the capital. It was like propaganda of some sort.If Ethan would learn about these, he would surely be baffled.He would understand if the pamphlets had his face printed on it as a wanted person, but it was like the people were taking what happened as a form of entertainment, even if it would shame their current monarch.Lulabay, however, sees it differently. He saw what was transmitted and heard exactly how the people spoke about
After she approached quickly approached and was surprised to see a man. When she looked closely, Lulabay was surprised as she realized that the man was Ethan, who had a face full of mud. He was sitting on the ground with his legs in the water, not moving at all.Lulabay moved closer and carefully. She looked at him to check for injuries and found that his right thigh had a bleeding wound just like the one on his left arm, both were bandaged, but the bandage no longer worked.He was looking at the ceiling of the cavern as if he did not even realize that Lulabay was in that place.“Savior…” Lulabay muttered and then approached him. Her voice was soft, but it should be enough to get Ethan’s attention. However, he did not even react.Lulabay moved towards him closer. She was getting worried. Ethan was acting weird, and it scared her.“Saviour, are you alive? Do you feel good?” Lulabay said when she was close enough.
She nodded and then prepared to leave. Lulabay was scared to do her task. Aside from that, she was scared that Ethan would be no more before she returned.So before leaving the cave, she stopped and then turned around to look at him. “You will hold on, right?” Lulubay asked with unmasked fear and worry.Ethan smiled and then nodded. But it seemed it was not enough to assure her as she said, “Do not die! It would be a shame if I bring everything and you end up dead!”Her task was so hard, and she herself would not get back, but as long as the Saviour did not perish, then it would be alright. Lulubay trusted this in her heart, and that was the only thing that she wanted to believe and nothing more.“Yes, I promise,” The man said with an assuring smile. Ethan tried as much as possible to move, he wanted to lift his hand to wave bye at her at least, but that’s easier said than done. Instead, he nodded once more.<
She then added while glaring at him, “They can’t even take good care of our horses like they would take care of the kingdom… So what if it caused an argument and then sued to start a war. You remember the time―”“Okay, okay! Stop!” The soldier interrupted her despite his confusion and annoyance. With unmasked displeasure, he continued, “Fine. I’ll go get your stupid sugar. Sugar of what?”Lulabay sighed inside. She then smiled and said, “Alatria! And do not look for it in the kitchen. First, they are very busy, and second, they must be in the warehouse. They are not marked, but you recognize them by the brightness, although not the brightness under torchlight does not make that mistake you could bring bicarbonate... that would be a disaster….”The exasperated soldier saw his companion that he was smiling and said, “Wait... you know you go find her yourself, but be quick, it can&rsquo
The Captain’s words came out with hatred, and Lulabay hoped she was joking.If she was speaking the truth, Lulabay was only thankful that she was the one who went to the Palace instead of Ethan, who was already heavily injured.With that in mind, there was no way to be able to get out alive against these blood-thirsty soldiers like this Captain.At that moment, Lulabay’s thoughts were halted as Elena raised her sword, ready to attack. Elena yelled in disdain, “Appear, you damn coward, let me cut you off!”Just as she spoke, Elena sliced through the air, which passed near Lulabay.Lulabay’s were wide with fright, but she couldn’t even breathe. She could not let Elena get notice of her!“Show yourself! You can’t escape!” When the Captain raised her sword again, a soldier said, “Captain! The King is calling for you!”Elena paused and then nodded through gritted teeth. Her
While completely being cautious, Elena walked through the kick towards the stable.The guards were in their places, and when she passed, they greeted and saluted her respectfully.As her boots stepped on the mud, she wondered how Ethan had managed to walk on the hall and not fill it with mud.As she wandered into the stable where the horses were eating, she saw a girl. Elena laughed due to the way the girl was moving. The girl looked exhausted, and she was carrying a box of hay from a place to the point where the horses were eating.When the girl saw the captain, she got scared and released the box she was carrying. She then kneeled on the ground as a respectful greeting.Elena felt proud. That was the correct reaction of any servant in the palace that was on the lowest ranking.“Listen, maid, haven’t you seen anything strange in this place?” Elena asked her hands at her back.“No ma’am, not
