Kiss her now

That thought gave me confidence again and I took a deep breath as I braced myself. I used all my strength to move and I shielded all the attacks she was going to do on the knights. 

"You better run now!"

"But.." They were still looking at me reluctantly as they felt like they were betraying the lady when the rogues started holding them and dragging them by themselves.

"You better start running or we all will die!" they shouted at the knights with a bit of anger but more of helplessness. 

The duchess chuckled as she saw them running away as her eyes glowed with evil glint.

"Run.. even i want to see how far you can run? There is no fun in hunting until the prey starts to run for his life!" she laughed maniacally as she looked at them with bloodlust.

"Elvin, would you be able to fight with her? If not, you should leave with the knights too!" I held the shoulder of the young boy who was still looking at the duchess with confused eyes.
