IT'S FINALLY OVER

The guests jumped to their feet and bolted to Raigon's side. The King's guards lifted their swords as they dashed forward and fought with the defiant men of Duke Andras.

Some fought with them and were killed. Others lifted their hands in surrender. The King's guards arrested them and brought them out. 

Several of them tried to escape but they weren't able to do so at the hands of the then merciless Crowned Prince as he instructed them to not let a single soul get away. 

"Go to the solar! All of you!" He imposed on the civilians with a wave of his forefinger in which all of them obliged. 

His eyes shifted to Zoe, who was observing everything that is happening with a stricken look on her face.

Her hands were lifted in the air as if she doesn't know if she will run or will stay. Raigon placed his strong hands on her which unbelievably touched her with gentleness given the situation.
