Unshakable Fortress (04)

-This Chapter is written using Anna's POV-

After receiving Angelica's healing, I stood up to face Edmond again.

His attack killed every soldier inside the corridor, and the flames he summoned reached Angelica and me.

And I can only imagine what would have happened if not for Angie's quick thinking.

However, more pressing than those dreadful thoughts was the reality of the men invading the castle thanks to the opening the prince created.

As much as I hated to admit it, he was strong.

Unreasonably so...

When we last fought against Edmond and his royal knights, Licia was easily capable of handling him without using any of her tricks.

And yet, even though Mia and I are at least a rank above her when it comes to sheer strength, for some reason, he was now capable of holding me off and even overpowering me.

This made no sense...
