Prince Lyssander's heart skipped a beat when he heard the soldier's words. He imdiately turned around and thought he would see an army of people behind the Duke who was riding a horse toward them.
Almost imdiately, the smile on his face vanished.
There were no armies or soldiers. There were only two other people behind the Duke.
"Your Highness," Amoni called out. "The Duke is here"
"I can see that Amoni." Prince Lyssander took this opportunity to walk down the watchtower where he was staying to welco the Duke.
"Your Grace" Prince Lyssander said.
"My people and I will join the fight. Please stay here ,Your Highness" Duke Rothley said nothing else as he walked away from the prince.
"Your Highness that man is"
"No need to complain, Amoni. This is not the palace. There is no need for etiquette in this place." Prince Lyssander sighed. The Duke was known for his weird ways. He was not exactly surprised about the Duke's actions. "Hm?" Just as he was about to go back to the watchtower, he thought he spotted soone familiar.
"Isadora?" It was his younger sister, Princess Isadora.
"I knew you would not leave this place."
"Are you out of your mind!? Why would you co here!?"
"I heard that tonight, the beasts were going even wilder. I want to see."
"Isadora, you are not that stupid. Did you co here to force to leave?"
"I knew you would not leave," Isadora said again. She ignored her brother and started walking up. "I just followed the Duke and his people so I knew I would be safe."
"Isadora! Co back down here and leave this place at once!"
"The only way that I am leaving is if you leave with ," Isadora said. Her brother followed her up.
"Have you lost your mind!? I cannot leave my people behind!"
"If you die, we would lose the future of the Kingdom," Isadora said. While she was considered very smart for her age, she was never allowed near the battlefield. The King and her brother had their people follow her around just to make sure that she would not run away to watch the battle with the beasts.
Because of that, this was actually the first ti that Isadora witnessed sothing so brutal. Upon seeing the chaotic scene in front of her, Isadora could not help but take a step back, her hands shook, fear flashed in her eyes.
"Leave now!" Prince Lyssander said.
"WhWhat are those?"
"Those are the beasts, Isadora. Now, please leave with Amoni." Prince Lyssander looked at Amoni. "Now?"
"What about you, Your Highness? You are the heir to the throne we cannot leave you behind." Amoni said.
"I am not leaving without you, brother." Isadora finally spoke.
"You"
"This war is ours. If you are not leaving this place then I am staying with you."
"You really are sothing!" Prince Lyssander held his sister's arm. He knew that this was Isadora's way of making him leave this place. He knew that his sister intentionally ca here to force him to leave, but how could he do that to his soldiers and the rcenaries who ca here, risking their lives to save them!?
Again, his gaze landed on the tide. Since this started, this was the first ti that Prince Lyssander had seen so many beasts. He, along with everyone else, was almost certain that they would lose.
Then Magda and another guy showed them a little bit of hope.
Now, the Duke was here with two other n.
Speaking of the Duke, Prince Lyssander spotted him easily squashing beasts as if they were re toys.
"That The Duke Isn't that the Duke?" Even Isadora looked surprised. "How"
"The rumors are true," Prince Lyssander spoke. "The Duke is stronger than most of us." Right now, Prince Lyssander could see that the Duke seed stronger than Lachlan Blaize himself.
"But what if he gets exhausted? The tide those beasts are not slowing down. We need to leave this place, Your Highness. It is not safe." Amoni said.
"No." Of course, Lyssander would not leave. There was hope. The Duke just gave him hope. How could he abandon them now?
The sound of the war echoed across the plain, a deafening symphony of violence and death. It was enough to send shivers down Lyssander's spine, but he knew better than anyone that his departure would surely affect the morale of his people.
The distant rumble caught his attention, it reminded him of thunder rolling in the distance. He imdiately zeroed in on the place where the rumble ca from. His eyes found the source.
It was a beast larger than the ones in the tide larger than any beast that he had seen before.
In the dim light, the creature looked like a giant bat, with wings spanning over twenty feet.
"What What is that? Is that flying?" Isadora asked with a shaking voice. "Brother that That is" the three of them turned silent when the bat revealed its piercing red eyes.
"A demonic beast," Prince Lyssander finished his sister's words. "And for so reason, it is it seems to be moving our way!" With that, Prince Lyssander imdiately pulled his sister down the watchtower. They cannot stay here any longer.
"Hey! This way!"
The three of them heard a hooded figure.
"Co this way!"
Without hesitation, Lyssander pulled Isadora towards the hooded figure.
"Wait wait what are you doing!? Will you just"
"We have no ti, Isadora!" Lyssander said. He knew that Magda's companion vanished. So, he thought that they were around him, protecting him from the beasts. That was the only explanation he could co up with. Of course, he was very grateful for that.
"Are you working with her?" Lyssander asked.
"Magda asked us to protect you," surprisingly, it was a woman's voice. Lyssander did not mind this.
"Alright, please take my sister and Amoni."
"I can take you and your sister." The woman said before she pointed at Amoni. "That man? No."
