“Princess Vera!”

As soon as the two left the room, a familiar and anxious voice was heard . Vera turned her head around . Tanya grabbed her Princess with one arm and pulled her into her embrace . She nervously caressed Vera’s body . Panicked, Tanya fired off: “Are you all right? Are you hurt? I heard what happened . I have stayed here for a very long time . Ikana and Abner will not harm you . I think it must be a misunderstanding . Whatever the case may be, Princess Vera, we need to stop His Majesty first!”

Tanya dragged Vera off by her wrist .

“Wait… Wait… Miss Tanya, I am now informed of what you just mentioned, but why are you speaking up for them?! Shouldn’t you be worrying about me first right now? Why is your first thought to stop Dad?!”

“Because when other people say they will raze a nation to the ground they are merely making empty threats . In the case of King Troy, on the other hand, he will actually do it! Ikana and Abner are not bad people . I am King Troy’s general, so I have to stop him from senselessly ma.s.sacring a nation!”

“I don’t remember you being this way!!”

“People change . In any case, this war is avoidable . I am sure that you would not want this misunderstanding to lead to the deaths of tens upon thousands of people, would you? We can still make it . With that said, Ikana and Abner are not totally innocent . They, too, must go to King Troy to acknowledge their wrongs!”

Ikana gave a sincere nod: “We will . ”

Ikana looked so sincere that Vera felt a little guilty . Vera wondered if she was being too petty with her shouting . Suddenly, a guard rushed over to Ikana’s side and whispered something into her ear in a panicked manner .

Feeling hopeless, Ikana helplessly smiled: “And, it has begun . It seems somebody has already fought their way into the imperial city . They have already broken through the navy’s sealed off zone… They are currently on the streets in the city . Go and stall for now, but do not hurt anyone, understood?”

“Sorry… umm…”

The guard awkwardly glanced over to Vera . Vera was extremely thrilled . There was only one s.h.i.+p that could rush to her rescue so soon, and that was unquestionably the s.h.i.+p she was...o...b..ard .

“I don’t know what my three sisters can do, but I’m very happy to know that they came to my rescue without any regards for their own safety,” thought Vera .

“I’ll go . I’ll go and talk to them . They won’t cause any trouble once they see me . ”

Vera bravely volunteered to go . She wanted to see her sisters . She wanted to return to her sisters . The matter had blown up a bit . In reality, nevertheless, it was only a misunderstanding . She wasn’t hurt, so some proper communication was the antidote .

“But… we have attacked… Regent… we… we caught a huge fox . We pierced her legs and pinned her to the ground with the crossbow . We wanted to ask you how to deal with her…”

“A huge fox?”

Ikana froze . Vera gasped . There was only one huge fox, and that was her sister!!

“How is Liu Yue?! What happened to Liu Yue?! Where are the others?! Where are the others?!” wondered Vera, panicking .

Current time on the streets .

“Argh!!”

Liu Yue writhed in agony from the ground . She watched Daisy drag Nona, who was crying, back . The guards had formed a circle on the street . Everyone was ready to die rescuing their Princess . Alas, the enemy was also ready to fight to the death to defend their homeland . To break through the barricades in their path and large machines, Liu Yue transformed into a fox . It went smoothly until Liu Yue stepped into a trap . Arrows fired from inside buildings . The shots and harpoons were enough to punch a hole through a whale . Therefore, it pierced straight through Liu Yue’s leg and pinned her to the ground .

The painful sensation shot from Liu Yue’s leg to her brain . She cried out in pain, and then dropped to the ground . The guards charged at them en ma.s.se . Her red fur was even redder due to her blood .

Liu Yue desperately shook her body . She roared in the direction her sisters were retreating . n.o.body could understand her roar, but there was a tinge of despair of abandonment in her roar .

Ying couldn’t help it . She didn’t have enough men to rescue Liu Yue, who had been surrounded . All she could do was pray Liu Yue wouldn’t die there . She a.s.sumed Liu Yue wouldn’t die to the two harpoons in her legs since she was a magical species .

Liu Yue’s mana gradually left her body . The heavy spears dropped down into the pool of blood . Reverting back to her human form didn’t erase her wounds . Her calf bled profusely . She firmly pressed down on her wound . Her entire body quaked while her tears coursed down her face .

The soldiers didn’t know what to do . Killing an overbearing beast charging at them was one thing, but killing a child was an entirely different matter . No honourable soldier would harm a child .

From behind, Daisy, who was panting, shouted, “Liu Yue! Liu Yue!”

Two medics turned to see the sisters and then the young girl, who was bleeding non-stop and looked as white as a sheet . The medics raced over . They gently lay her flat then quickly bandaged her wounds and applied medication to stop the bleeding . Her wound wasn’t so gruesome after she reverted to her human form . The wound was the size of a bullet wound .

The soldiers wouldn’t hurt a child . Moreover, the group didn’t kill many of their comrades . Ying fought with her scabbard, so she’d only knock people unconscious . Though she was there to rescue her Princess, Ying and Daisy took measures to prevent their charge from becoming too serious to settle afterwards . The two of them were also worried it was a misunderstanding . Things changed, however . Travest’s soldiers hurt Liu Yue!

“What have you done?! What have you done?!!!”

Daisy and Ying finally drew their blades .

“Everyone, draw your weapons,” commanded Ying .

Ying looked over to the guards next to her . They gave her a nod . They drew their swords and threw their scabbards to the ground . The guards also drew their guns at their waist . That was the guards’ ultimate form . The guards were a group that was supposed to kill to survive, but they weren’t ready to kill upon arrival . That meant that they fought under restraints . However, their Princess was wounded and surrounded . It was time for them to fulfil their duty as bodyguards .

“Charge . ”

One word was all it took to paint the street bright red…
