Bab 255: What should come first

There was a thud sound which was followed by absolute silence and no hit that came from the old man. I slowly lowered my arm from covering my face and I saw Zelda unconscious and lying on top of the old man as she was thrown like a log over him. "Princess!" The old man exclaimed as he pulled Zelda up to tap her cheek. The girl looked absolutely dead to my eyes. 

Hailey stepped inside through the broken window and the sound of glass crackling under her feet grabbed my attention. 

A trail of blood ran from the side of her lips, a cut that showed she was punched too hard. But then I looked at Zelda... probably Dead. Hailey dusted her shirt as she sneered at the old man, "she is defeated Elder Pious. Mind you tongue in my presence." The aura she emitted was scary enough for the old man to drag Zelda out of Hailey's way. She walked away fuming with anger. I gave one look to the Elder who had been fighting me till now before following Hailey out.
