Bab 453: Bloody Golem

Looking up, I saw no one else but Helia herself standing on top of the elevated platform, with her hands locked on her chest, as she looked down at the central square with disgust visible even from so far. Behind her, a few other men were visible, holding on to short knives and some other simple weapons. 

Just by this sight, one might disrespect their power when compared to undoubtedly better-equipped guards of the sanctuary, yet just a single scan with my energy vision was enough to uncover the truth that has to pain the princess mind - all the rebels were a few class stronger than even the best of the guards, with only two or three exceptionally strong royalists. 

Yet despite the clear disparity in strength between the two forces, not only the princess remained in power so far, but the whole situation didn't seem to faze her at all! Instead of coveting in fear, she stood her ground with confidence, even going as far as to grace Helia with a wide smile!
