All the guards were terrified to the core, and why won't they be?
Because instead of snatching the poisonous blade and attacking either the captain or Sia, Kizy had directed the blade towards herself.
Yes Kizy was smart enough to know that attacking or even injuring any men from the Professor's side would do no good as they were never short on men ready for dying.
But what she knew the best was the Professor won't let even a single person out of them breathe if Miss Hazel was to get even a single minor scratch.
Hence Kizy sudden stunt of scaring all those men by placing it exactly on her neck was successful beyond her imagination.
"Dare anyone take even a single step near me. You both go back 10 steps." Kizy said coolly while looking at Sia and the Captain.
Yes she knew that she was seriously taking a risk by having that poison blade on her neck, but she cpuld not think of any other way to get out of that base.
"Nobody is to come anywhere near me till a radius of 10 metres. One step and I won't hesitate splashing my blood, even for the baby's sake." Kizy paused before turning towards Sia.
"I guess from the basic knowledge you have about medical, you must be knowing that the place I have pointed the blade is the one from where a major artery passes. Not sure about others but at least you know the consequences of cutting this artery. So make sure you listen to me, because you definitely are not capable enough to stop that bleeding, especially not that of a poisonous cut." Kizy said confidently, knowing she now needed to convince those people that they couldn't take any rash decisions or action against her, no matter what she was to do next.
"Mizz Hazel, please drop that blade, it's seriously deadly. Please at least be considerate about your baby." The captain tried to persuade her once more after looking at the bewildered look in Sia's eyes, knowing that every single word said by Kizy was true.
"You think I would live if my husband and friends were to die today? I would rather give up on my life, instead of becoming a slave to your Professor." Kizy said in all seriousness.
"Professor never intends to make you his slave. If anything, he wants to keep you like a queen, treasure you like the most expensive thing in the world." Sia tried defending the Professor once again.
"By keeping me captive?" Kizy asked while raising her eyebrow.
"You-" Sia was about to speak when the captain stopped her.
"Stop your nonsense right now." He scolded Sia before turning towards Kizy.
"Miss Hazel, what do you want? If you are feeling uncomfortable or stuffed, can we have the windows open, and let you roam around for sometime till you feel okay. How does that sound?" The captain asked, knowing he was definitely not on negotiable terms with Kizy at the moment.
"Move away from my path. Leave the doors." Kizy commanded.
"Miss Hazel, please don't take rash decisions-" The Captain was still meddling when Kizy cut him off.
"Ask everyone to move away from the entrance. I will only count till three before stabbing myself." Kizy said, not giving them anymore time or space.
"Move everyone!" The captain said, knowing how important Kizy's life was for the Professor.
With that one statement, though slowly, all the guards started to walk away from the entrance, with Kizy taking slow steps towards the entrance while keeping a watch everywhere.
"Miss Hazel, please reconsider your decisions." The captain tried persuading her one last time, knowing that with Kizy's escape, they were calling their own deaths.
But Kizy instead of being distracted by the captain's statement kept taking steady steps towards the entrance, finally reaching the door.
The captain slowly started taking step towards her direction when Kozy stopped him once again.
"No captain. Stay at your place. Nobody is allowed to leave their places till I reach the gates or you all know the consequences. I should not hear any sound of footsteps behind me or you will be dealing with my dead body." Kizy threatened before taking her final step and disappearing from their sights, confirming their deaths at that very moment.
*THE PROFESSOR*
Professor was leisurely sitting on his throne, waiting for Markus to stupidly enter and then kill him slowly to make sure he enjoyed every single pain incurred to his body.
He was mickingly looking at the Imperial physician from time to time who was unable to hide his worry and disapproval over whatever was happening around.
He was still making imaginary plans about his life with Hazel after battle when suddenly a guard came running inside.
"Professor." He said through ragged breaths while kneeling down.
"Speak." The Professor said calmly.
"Satan and his teams are returning." The man informed him briefly.
"What?" The professor questioned, not quite understanding what the man was trying to say.
"Satan and his team were attacked with the last round of poisonous blades. According to our plan, he was to face the poison trap area next, but they started moving back, that is towards the exit gate." The man explained in a low voice, not lifting his gaze even once, ready to be killed.
The professor went silent once again, surprised by this sudden move from Markus.
"I should go and inform Hazel that her dear husband has given up on her now." The Professor said after a minute, formulating the plan that Jason had discussed.
"Can you not understand what Satan is planning now? He intends to kill your allies first by going towards the shore." This time the Imperial physician finally intervened, knowing this was his leeway.
"Who cares about those piece of shits?" Professor replied carelessly before standing from his throne, ready to move towards the base for Hazel.
"Once your allies are gone, Satan will have their men obey him and then attack full fledged with more army. We have already lost many men in this battle. We can not let him grow stronger anymore! Do you want to end this Imperial nation? And let me remind you, once he has everything under his control, you won't even have Hazel then. He will only stop after killing you." The Imperial physician increased his intensity, knowing he needed to send the Professor towards the shore.
"Guess you are forgetting who I am. How insolent of you to spout that nonsense. You all will witness the end of Satan, right now!" Professor said, irritated by the statement of losing his life and Kizy.
And instead of walking towards base, he turned towards the gate, all his members following him. But even before he could reach the gates, a low groan was heard, to which nobody dared to react.
