“The only way into the castle is over my dead body!” With a huge sword in her hand, Eloise stood alone with great courage at the main entrance to defend the castle.


    She wasn’t actually a strong fighter. At most, she could pass as a divine-level martial artist. However, her current presence was stronger than that of a grandmaster.


    Themon soldiers and even Draven were stunned. His brow was locked in a deep frown, and he didn’t dare to move. The only thing he could do was to look at the three other sovereigns.


    Threats and the pce revolution aside, they needed a valid reason to attack Eloise. If they didn’t, the people would protest and turn against them.


    They surrounded the castle in the name of staking out the killer. They’d be able to get off the hook if they acted a littlebrashly.


    They could use overwhelming sadness and being overly emotional as their excuse for their rude behavior.However, they’d never be able to exin themselves if the princess died in the revolt. If that happened, there would be a public outcry.


    In addition, the powerful figures of West Lucozia would be shaken. Oakvale would also send military backup to quell the riot. After all, Eloise was the Princess Consort of West Lucozia as well as the eldest princess of Dragonmarsh.


    Given her identity, they wouldn’t dare to do anything foolish. Simply put, they could kill anyone in the castle, but not Eloise, As such, when Eloise was determined to fight them, they were a little taken aback.


    “Generals? What should we do now?” Draven looked at the three sovereigns and asked in a low voice.


    “It’s toote to turn back now,” Atticus said coldly.


    “That’s right. We’re so close to sess. We can’t give up now,” Mortimer agreed.


    “I understand that very well. What I’m asking about is what should we do about the princess?” Draven asked quietly.


    “There won’t be any issue as long as we don’t put the princess’s life in danger,” Ignatius said suddenly.


    “Do you mean … kidnap?” Draven raised an eyebrow slightly.


    “Do you have a better way?” Ignatius retorted.


    Draven said nothing, but he turned tolook at Atticus and Mortimer with a doubtful gaze.


    “This is the only way for now.” Atticus nodded.


    “I agree.” Mortimer nodded as well.


    “Alright, we’ll kidnap her then!”


    When consensus was reached, Draven shouted, “Listen up! The princess is confused as she has been deceived by a traitor. Your duty is to protect the princess and send her to the hospital for treatment. Understood?”


    “Understood!” the soldiers shouted their answer in unison.


    “Listen to my orders now! Charge into the castle and save our princess!” With a wave of his hand, a huge troop of soldiers put their weapons down as they rushed forward.


    Eloise was a respected princess, andthey didn’t want to bring any weapons. They’d be in trouble if they hurt her.


    “Stop!” When the four sovereigns were about to enter the castle, a loud and angry voice thundered across the sky.


    At the same time, Austin descended from the sky in golden armor and blocked the main entrance. When hended, his feet generated a huge energy wave, sending a few dozen soldiers flying.


    A vast space was cleared before him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “How dare you!” Standing at the entrance, Austin brandished his sword to block their entry.


    His aura was unusually strong. It was as if he was a soldier sent from above, and his presence struck fear in those around him. “Austin?”
