Floid was inside Priscilla's office, sitting in her chair. He had come here to find Priscilla because he thought that she would not leave her kingdom and run away like that useless king of Aquinas tried to do, but perhaps he was wrong about her. Is she just a coward like the other king?
Floid hummed and turned around when he felt the earth shaking under his feet. He stood up and looked outside to see the giant ray of red mana that surged into the sky and he immediately knew that the mana belonged to Pyra. Floid wondered if Pyra won with that attack. Floid could feel that Pyra advanced in class during this fight but he didn't know if it would be enough for her to walk away from this fight alive.
Floid put that thought behind him and he turned around to look towards Rosavellt and Alucard. Alucard was holding one of the palace guards by the neck while Rosavellt was stabbing her sword into another guard's stomach slowly while asking him where Priscilla was.
The guard that Rosavellt was stabbing was in tears as he tried to scream out that he didn't know where Priscilla was! She hadn't come into the office at all today, and since the invasion started everyone has been looking for her!
Alucard was also asking the man he was holding if he knew where Priscilla was, but the man died in the middle of the interrogation and Alucard tossed him to one side in irritation. Alucard was about to go and find another guard to torture, but Floid spoke up.
"There is no need to interrogate them anymore. If you see any guards out there, kill the stronger ones to reduce the danger to our troops. Leave the others for the lesser demons to handle and spare any women so they'll entertain the troops,"
Alucard and Rosavellt both turned towards Floid curiously. Did the demon lord no longer want to find Priscilla? They were both sure that the demon lord wanted to destroy everyone in the kingdom and that included the queen Priscilla. Why was he suddenly telling them to stop looking for her?
Floid didn't need Alucard to find Priscilla anymore. After all, Floid was looking right at her.
Floid looked down from the balcony of Priscilla's office, at the floor of the castle where there were thousands of people running away from the fighting happening in the kingdom.
There was a large number of guards pushing people to the side and telling them to get out of the way as they escorted Priscilla out of the castle in a hurry! Priscilla had a look of annoyance on her face as she was pushed and shoved by some of the citizens that didn't give a fuck who she was!
Everyone was trying their best to escape and they didn't care that the queen was in their midst as they ran in any direction they could! Priscilla hated the fact that she was walking among these commoners! She should not have to struggle in her own palace and the guards should have made a clearer path for her! But there was no way for them to drive the citizens out of the way since the citizens wouldn't even listen to them!
The citizens were all running for their life. Once a human is put in a dangerous situation where they begin to fear for their life, they are incapable of rational thought and they will simply try their best to get as far away from that situation as possible!
Priscilla put her hand up and pushed away one of the men that was trying to push her out of the way so that he could escape! He fell to the ground and he didn't even have time to get up before he was trampled on by more than ten other people that were trying to get away as well!
Priscilla ignored the screams of the man and continued on her way. That bastard got what he deserved for trying to push her down.
"Get out of the queen's way! Get out of the queen's way!"
"You bastard! Do you want to hurt the queen? Get out of the way!!"
The guards that were leading Priscilla out of the castle were pushing and hitting people with the butt of their swords as they tried their best to carve out a path for the queen to move through. Al was also moving with Priscilla and he was hiding behind her and trying to use her movement to his advantage so that no one kicks or pushes him away.
One of the civilians heard what the guards were shouting and he immediately tried to get through to the queen!
"My queen! My queen, please help me! I can't find my son! My son is missing! My queen - hrk!!"
The man was begging for help to find his little son that had gotten lost in the crowd as he tried to push through the guards, but before he could get any closer to Priscilla, he was stabbed by one of the guards and kicked away from the queen! Who was this trash that was trying to get close to the queen?
Priscilla glanced down at the dead man and frowned in disgust as she stepped over him and continued on her way. She was glad the guards were here to keep these trash away, else she would have just used a wide-range spell to get rid of them all.
Priscilla didn't care about the people around her right now, all she wanted to know was if Leviathan was already fighting for them or not. The call she had with Leviathan was cut off abruptly because of some unknown reason and she was not able to get an answer no matter how many times she tried to call him again. Did he join the fight or did he run away and leave them to die? Priscilla didn't think he would just leave them like that. He sounded like he was about to help them so she was sure he wouldn't just leave.
"Your majesty, this way! We'll leave through the port behind the castle!"
One of the guards came closer and whispered this to Priscilla while making sure that no one heard him from the crowd. If the citizens knew that there was a way to get out of here, they would try to flood that place and that will lead the demons towards the queen. It will be better for the citizens to stay here and serve as meat shields for the queen's escape.
Priscilla nodded and she turned to enter the side tunnel leading out of the street. The guards and Priscilla moved quickly, and before long, they were on a wide road leading toward the port at the back of the castle. Priscilla turned to her left and spoke to the guard there.
"Do you know if there is anyone fighting against the demons other than the soldiers? A single man?"
The guard squeezed his face in confusion and he shook his head as he told Priscilla that there was no one like that. The humans were being slaughtered by the demons and there hasn't been a single person that came to help them. The soldiers were dying by the hundreds!
Priscilla grit her teeth and she just continued walking. She didn't care about the soldiers dying, but she had hoped that Leviathan would be out there right now fighting for them! Does this mean that he was not coming? Or maybe, did something happen to him that made it impossible for him to come? Don't tell me the demon lord managed to get him as well.
A wave of anger surged through Priscilla as she thought about Floid. That bastard was meant to be dead! She planned his death so perfectly and she made sure that there were no witnesses other than the other members of the party! So why the hell is he still causing me this much trouble!?
"How fucking far is this stupid port!?"
Priscilla shouted to the guard at her side and the man looked forward to another guard in fear! The guard in front of them explained that it was just a little bit further! They built the port far from the castle to make sure no one would be able to find it.
Priscilla has been waking for more than an hour now and she was already fucking tired! She felt like falling to the ground right here and taking a rest but that would be stupid when she had all these guards here!
"You, come here and get on your hands and knees!"
The guard she spoke to looked towards the guard at his side and the man made a 'get on with it!' motion with his head! The guard could feel his pride dying a terrible and slow death as he walked towards his queen and fell on his hands and knees behind Priscilla. Priscilla gathered her gown properly before sitting on him calmly.
"We will take a three minutes break and continue to the port. Spread out and make sure there are no demons in the vicinity. Al, come here,"
Priscilla spoke out to the guards and gave them orders on what to do and they all left to go and follow her orders. Al came closer to Priscilla and asked her what she wanted. Priscilla told Al what he thought about Leviathan. Does he think that Leviathan would come and help them?
Al hummed in surprise. Was Priscilla actually asking for his advice right now? Just how desperate does she have to be for her to be asking for advice from someone else? Al could tell that Priscilla was very eager to get any sort of reassurance right now and telling her what she didn't want to hear would probably just make things worse for all of them.
Priscilla was like a spoilt child that didn't want to hear anything but what she wanted to hear. Anything else would make her lash out at whoever is in front of her. Al looked towards the man on his hands and knees and sighed tiredly as he imagined what Priscilla could do if she was angry. He didn't have any intention of facing Priscilla's anger right now.
