The Dance

"My lady, your presence will only drag us down." he explained with a sigh but Lilian shook her head. She was not ready to give up after coming this far.

"What if they run away if you attack suddenly? I can be a good distraction." she offered but the knights only shook their heads again.

"We are attacking three places at once. So you can not be a distraction at so many places. Can you?" he asked with a sigh when she bit her lips, trying to think of something better, "and even if they ran away. We are going to cover the entrance. And if they mixed in the crowd and hid.. It is fine.

They would not be able to take the kids with them and we can find them with the confessions of the people we arrest. So, you do not need to worry. We will be back soon." he offered her a kind smile when she finally let them go.

She realized that she was only blocking them.

Once the other team of knights arrived, they attacked all the targeted areas at once.
