Unfamiliar Pain

As much as the royal guards hesitated to leave Commander Eloria in such a dangerous situation, they also knew that she was right. They must do their duty of keeping the royal safe or... they wouldn't be able to pay the price.

While the four guards worked on helping the injured Crown Prince and Lady Vanora's guard, Eloria cautiously observed their surroundings; a bit surprised that the attack halted for a few seconds now.

What were the assassins up to?!

"Commander Eloria -"

"Please leave in a hurry, Your Highness." Eloria did not need to look to know that the voice belonged to Fourth Prince Rayan. Her gaze was briefly on the remaining three soldiers who were with her before she said, "We can also move as soon as you and others are safe. Please go ahead while the attack stops."
