章 681: RETURN TO THE CASTLE

The castle wasn't as close as it seemed before. It actually took four hours to travel from where they were, back to the castle on foot.

"What about the citizens?" Lilac asked after she drank some water to ease her thirst, and moisten her dry throat. "I saw there were some people still left in the city center."

"The king ordered some measures, and plans for this. He made it perfectly clear to us that once we found out there was something wrong, all the guards must be ready for evacuation. Maybe what you saw earlier was them in the middle of evacuating the citizens."

Lilac contemplated, and thinking. It made perfect sense. So that was why there were no people inside the castle when Lilac came in with Eaton. People were gone due to evacuation. "So, where are the citizens now?" Lilac was sure that those lycans, and the werewolves who followed behind them were the guards, some of them were the king's knights, and warriors.
