130 The Wish of the Undead

Emilia’s POV

In the darkness, Klaus held me tightly, like a big cat carrying a kitten, guiding me forward with determined steps. All around me, the clash of weapons and the cries of agony echoed in my ears. My vision was filled with throngs of people, all pushing and shoving, lost in the chaos.

But Klaus had already mapped out a route. Without hesitation, he expertly weaved through the crowd, avoiding the frantic bodies and quickly leading me to the balcony of the banquet hall.

With a sharp “click,” Klaus shut the balcony door behind us, firmly locking it. He then covered the door with some decorative leaves, concealing us from view.

“Klaus, what’s happening? They—” I could barely breathe, terrified that making too much noise would draw the attention of the enemy. The sounds of panic muddled my thoughts, and I struggled to make sense of the situation.

Even though the lights went out quickly, I had noticed that the soldiers of the Bear Kingdom had all drawn their swords.
