Chrisfold was so focused on the battle with the mages that he didn't notice an assassin who removed his presence to attack him at the back… however, before the assassin could send his dagger to Chrisfold's body it was struck by a stone.
A silhouette came to view and with a lightning speed that the assassin's eyes can't follow, he was struck in the back of his head.
"You're late…!" Chrisfold yelled while he was attacking the mages.
"Do you know how close it was? If I didn't come in time, you would have been injured!! How can you forget that there's some assassin aiming for your neck?"
"Don't get angry… I was fulfilling the order that you gave. Now that you're here, I can use as much mana you have, right?"
"You can as long as you can kill those bastards… and left some mana for me to walk on my own feet..."
"That's my princess~"
