章節 76: Escape

It was still too dark outside for her to see what exactly was happening, so she left Lucian's arms and opened her balcony to get outside once again. The wind was still just as cold as it had been before, the moon and stars were just bright enough that once she had reached her railing. She was able to see the clash between her own knights and black-clothed assassins. Her expression was grim as Lucian watched beside her.
