I block and parried the incoming attack of sir Terrence, then I backed away and brought my own sword down. Now, Terrence was the one blocking my attack. Kellar charged at him and swung his foot to attempt to trip him. Unfortunately, Terrence jumped and moved away that Kellar tripped me instead. I fell down and came crashing into him.“Ow…” I groaned as I got up.“Princess, I am sorry!” Kellar began to apologize. And once he does, it is a never-ending cycling.“It’s fine. Get up.” I told him as I pulled him to his feet. “You know, maybe we should have planned this ahead and worked together to take him down.” I said while pointing at Terrence.Today was a two-on

I looked in the mirror and at the chainmail that now covered my body. The maids were preparing me for the upcoming raid tomorrow as they placed and packed all the needed items in my bag.For now, we’re supposed to head for the camp that was set up for all the individuals involved to gather.That was why I was troubled when I had to wear chainmail over my shirt because it is not like we are going to war right away.“Princess, what do you think?” Keela, one of my maids, asked.“I feel like all I need now is one of those belts for belly dancing to complete the set.” I said because every time I move, I could hear it rattling. And it was annoying. 

I woke up early the next day as we all started to prepare ourselves. But I, on the other hand, woke up especially early because I wanted to make sure that everything was settled. Plus, I was getting nervous about all of this as well that I just can’t get a few more minutes of a shut-eye. I already have my shirt, chainmail, vest, trousers, and boots on. Now, I was contemplating wearing the gloves that Eltur and Darem gave me, but I decided against it as it would only hinder my grip on my whip. As I got out, I noticed that Nate was outside of his tent as well and just doing a few stretches. He must have heard me stepping out because he looked back with a tired and nervous smile on his face. “Hey. Good morning, Rose.” He greeted me. “Morning, Nate.” I greeted his back as I held the tent open for Custard and

Everyone was quiet as we all let the information sink in. When I thought about it, it all made sense now. Luke was the one that we were looking for. The only thing is, he is not exactly a traitor, just controlled by something that he cannot fight.“Hang on, who attacked Luke in the greenhouse?” I asked. “I mean, the place was basically a mess.”“He did that to himself,” Stella says. “As soon as he realized that Ferius was looking and hearing events of what was happening, he put himself to sleep to purposely stop Ferius from knowing of our plans. But upon realizing this, Ferius tried to take control over him. That was why the dose of the sleeping potion that he took was too much as to put him in a temporary coma.”“I see.” Ace and I exchanged a look.

“LOOK OUT!” Ace came forward and shielded me. In the process, Ace’s arm got a second-degree burn. Ace winced in pain as he immediately removed the sleeve on that particular arm.“No…” I whispered. Horrified at what I saw. Then I turned to glare murderously at Camille. “It was you, wasn’t it? You set him free!”Instead of looking guilty, Camille had a crazed look in her eyes. “Nate is mine. He is mine. If it weren’t for you then I would have become his queen!” “Nate and I are not in that kind of relationship!” I told her. “And he doesn’t belong to anyone!”But as hard as I tried to convince her, it seemed like Camille couldn’t hear any of it as she just screa
