Chapter 197: Strike (4)

I refrained myself from stretching the chapter longer. Sorry.

*********

A man whose head was wrapped with black clothes charged at the princess.

The two remaining guards tried to stop him, but a sudden shrill noise drilled into their ears, paralysing them. The head covered man surprisingly grabbed the two maids and pulled them hard. The tired princess could not stand a chance. Her orange eyes could only follow the man carrying her maids away.

"Des! Thes!" She cried. But the guardian pulled her from behind.

"This is for the best. They did their duty protecting you." The guardian dragged her forward despite her resistance.

Tears slid down her cheeks as she bit her lips. But her legs did not stop for a moment.

The two guards regained composure and followed.
