Emery’s immediate reaction was to grab her sword and get on her horse to head to the barracks. She could hear Vasmir calling out to her from behind but she just ignored him and whipped her horse. As she got closer, she could see the soldiers fighting against men whose faces were covered. Upon reaching the entrance that was blown up, she immediately dismounted and unsheathed her sword. She charged towards a man who was about to kill a soldier and with only one swing of her weapon, his sword along with his severed hand fell on the ground.
“Where’s the prince?” she asked the soldier she just saved.
“H-He’s in his quarters at the–”
She did not let him finish and simply grabbed him on the collar, forcing him to stand.

As for Pearce, I will look after him until he gets better.”She dismissed

When the sun finally set in the west, Emery and Marianne were busy serving dinner to the wounded soldiers. As the former exited the tent, she was greeted by Gaius who was wearing a worried look that made him paler than usual. “Lady Emery… Can I have some of your time?” he asked. Nodding her head, the two of them headed to the elder’s private tent. Emery prepared some tea before sitting right across from him with the expectation that they would be talking about his grandson, Pearce. “How is he doing?” Gaius asked with a low tone of voice. “He regained consciousness a while ago and he is probably thinking of what to do next,” she replied. Seeing how nervous the elder was, she asked in return, “Do you know that

And when he did manage to lean against the rough wall, he was immediately pissed off upon seeing the person he was stuck with in that dim lit dungeon.“Why do I have to tolerate seeing that annoying face of yours?” he grumbled, making Emery shoot him a glare.She looked at him from head to toe before she scoffed.“Says someone whose existence is hated.”She clicked her tongue and even paired it with rolling of the eyes before getting back on her feet to check on the lock of the cell.

“Damn it!” Emery cursed under her breath as she felt a stinging pain on the side of her arm after barely escaping from getting shot by an arrow.With her sprained ankle plus the heavy weight of the prince, Emery doubted that she would be able to run any longer. Thus, they hid behind another tree and upon making sure that Prince Cornelius was safe from being targeted, she grabbed several dead plants around and covered him with it.“I’d kill you if I get bitten by a snake,” he hissed at her.“You will die first before you could kill me, spoiled brat,” she sneered back. “Don’t make a single move or else… You’re done.”Without saying anything

Emery scoffed at the question of the prince.“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Your Highness,” she said. “I only saved you to avoid being accused of siding with the rebels.”“If you think that my life and testimony would save you from such trouble, then you are wrong,” he responded. “Scheming men in the court have their ways in making up stories.”After that brief conversation, the two went quiet and continued to find their way out of the forest. The sun rose in the east, made its way across the sky, and before they knew it, it was getting dark once more and yet, they were still stuck in there with no food and little water. Emery was getting worried at the current state of the prince since his fever was not going down at all.

He… He had been having a fever and… And h-his wounds…”“We got it from here, Lady Emery,” the knight cut her off with a calm voice, tightening his grip on her still cold and shaky hand.Evander and the other soldiers with them managed to take the prince off of the horse before Emery dismounted with the knight lending her

Lady Emily received nothing but silence as a response from the king. Watching him staring at the flowers with longing in his eyes, she simply heaved a sigh as she stood right next to him. Even though he would not say it out loud, it was already obvious that King Lawson was indeed jealous.“Everyone in the palace said that she lost her memories but it does not look like she did,” Lady Emily commented. “She is probably acting that way because she wanted to get back at you.”The king shook his head.“She is not that type of person. If she dislikes me, she would say it right in front of me without hesitation.”King Lawson did not say those words to negate the assumption of the q
