Zoe's heart drummed inside her chest as she felt that they were nearing the start of a great war. Her anxious eyes scanned the few royal guards who still proved their loyalty to the royal family by responding to Raigon's call.
"Do you think we should call for more back-up?" Erin whispered to her, making Zoe jump up in surprise.
They were told to stay in Lord Hou's residence. But Zoe couldn't stay still. She was planning to go alone, but Erin caught on her.
"I think so too." Zoe's head bobbed up and down.
Witnessing the numbers of royal guards who seemed to add up day by day, they would be at a loss if they would be fighting with this group of men only.
"Why don't we ask for help from the Xianghais?" Erin suggested, making Zoe's eyes brightened up.
However, they instantly dimmed down as she recalled their status. "They were too modest to be involved in a war. We couldn't jeopardize their life."
