Bab 324: Price To Be Paid As A Queen

Her ladies-in-waiting handed her a sword while they also drew their own weapons, ready to face any attacks coming their way and protect their queen.

More knights gathered around Queen Theodora because protecting her was the priority. Unfortunately, however skilled the royal knights of Megaris may be, the attackers outnumbered them on a ratio of five opponents to every person, and it would be impossible to win against them without casualties on their end. 

Sir Alexis gritted his teeth. At this point, it was a burden to be protecting the unarmed ladies and servants of the Queen. He also had to keep his eyes on Queen Theodora and could not fully focus on attacking the enemies. As the leader of her royal knight brigade, he had to make a choice for the safety of the Queen.
