"Lucy, are the other children safe?" Elliot asked the pink haired woman.
"Except for the seventh royal child, everyone is safe, Lord Reinfield." Lucy politely replied and Elliot sighed in relief.
"Is the First Princess also present?" Pierre couldn't help but ask, caressing the bow in his hands.
It had been a long time since he held one.
During his adolescence Pierre like any other man is intrigued on weaponry and for Pierre the bow is like his other soul mate. He was the most skilled archer in the Asteria Kingdom and no one can match his abilities there. After winning against all the people in his Kingdom, he goes in search of fresh challenges above the hidden kingdom's territories.
Due to their elusive nature, elves built their kingdom underground, away from other humans and creature. Through the World Tree magic, it provided for their needs, allowing them to live in seclusion for thousands of years. However, some of the elves, like Pierre, are inquisitive beings who are always seeking challenges and new information.
When he reaches the adult age based on Elven calendar, he secretly ran from home and had his adventure for months where then he meet the thirteenth years old [Scarlet].
At that time, Scarlet was anointed as the crown princess and assigned certain duties, such touring the regions she would rule in the future. She traveled to Rivendell, a province in west side of Avelion and the location of Asteria Kingdom.
Interestingly, there was a fighting tournament going on at the time, [Scarlet] thought it would be interesting to participate in disguise where they met in the finals.
It was on that moment when [Scarlet] had pinned down Pierre after successfully evading his swift arrows, Pierre can't help but be mesmerized by his opponent's radiant smile and her ruby eyes, which sparkle with enthusiasm. Her silky black hair may be disheveled from the fierce struggle, but it exudes a seductive charm that makes Pierre want to stare.
She was beautiful.
And he fell in love.
He suddenly confessed to her at that very time, and that was the beginning of their story.
His lips curved into a smile as he thought back to those priceless moments with Scarlet, whom had not forgotten his love and prowess in archery.
'Maybe everything she said is true.' He hopes.
If she is now by his side she will notice that his love rate increase by two points.
"Princess Rosaline is secure with her brothers and sisters, Lord Von Everlane." Lily stated.
"Rosaline, is that her name?" Pierre repeated his daughter's name a few times and couldn't help but smile.
"The Queen named her Princess Rosaline Layla Marie Salvatore, Lord Everlane."
"What a great name." Pierre grinned once more.
"What is the name and likeness of my daughter?" Elliot inquired with curiosity.
He was eager to meet her when her daughter was born, but he was too worried that [Scarlet] would harm their daughter if he asked, so all he could do was dream of his child.
"The second princess name is Zarina Louie Marie Salvatore however she was born pre-mature so she easily get sick, Lord Reinfield." Lily clarified.
"Zarina, what a beautiful name." Elliot beams.
Lily shakes her head as she observes the two foolish men in front of her who are constantly muttering the names of their children. The Queen has ordered her to protect the First and Fourth Royal Consorts, even though she would prefer not to, but according to White Crow rules, the Queen's orders are final, so she can only put up with these two curious fathers' questions.
"My Lords, we are starting." A knight interrupted.
"I understand. Return to your positions and get ready for battle." Pierre gave out the order.
Pierre peered behind the balcony curtains, where he and the other arches were hidden, and saw Scarlet, riding Ragna in her wolf form while wearing black armor, and several knights after her, all of them making their way to the Palace gate.
'I hope you will be safe.' Pierre prayed.
On the other hand, Scarlet took a quick glance at the interfaces began to figure out how much time it would take to win.

As they get closer at the gate they could hear the loud noise of the battlefield.
"Ragna could you go faster, we need to finish this immediately and find our daughter." She heard the wolf growl but still followed her request.
If she had more time, she would love to swoon over Ragna's wolf form. She loves dogs so much that she even believes Ragna is just a huge dog with anger management issues; And during the ride, she also secretly petted Ragna, touching his soft, dark brown fur, which is similar to his human hair.
"Commander! Behind you! " A knight accompanying Scarlet shouted when he noticed someone attempting to harm Commander Kroft.
Aiden heard that and instantly kicked the rebel who was fighting him before turning around and stabbing the other on in the chest and that's when he noticed her.
"What are you here?!" He let out a worried cry that attracted the attention of the rebels and knights engaged in combat. When they pursued his direction, everyone was taken aback to see Scarlet, the Tyrant Queen.
She smiled at him.
"I am here to help you," she replied then heard Ragna snort, indicating that he was making fun of her.
Aiden only shook his head at her foolishness.
"Attack the Evil Queen!" One of the rebels said, that gives the enemy more energy and makes them fight the knights more aggressively.
"Keep the Queen safe!" Aiden gave an order, slicing through everyone who stands in his path of her.
Aiden Kroft, who is regarded as [Scarlet]'s favorite and most adored consort, caught all of her attentions as he make a path towards her.

Tips [!]
Please raise the love rate in order to gain some rewards and avoid bad ends]
'What a crazy love rate, there's must be something wrong at this guy.' She commented when she saw his love rating after using her [Detection] skills.
She kept watching him fight, unable to take her eyes off him due to his charisma; his swordplay is not brutal but rather artistic, his dark skin shimmers with sweat, casting an alluring aura around him; he also looks extremely attractive when he brushes his wet brown hair, and even with all the blood and infighting around them, his brown eyes are gentle and fixed on hers.
Scarlet knows why he's the favorite; the man is walking sex on legs and from what she remembers, he's the best of all her consorts in bed.
"Are you alright?" When Aiden eventually makes it to her, he said.
He caressed Scarlet's face gently, surprising her.
"You shouldn't be here, you just gave birth." He said, gently brushing Scarlet's face with his thumb in a gentle, caring manner.
Growing up by herself, she had never had the sense of being the most valuable being that Aiden is conveying, therefore she was naturally envious of the former [Scarlet].
'[Scarlet] didn't deserve his love and devotion for her; such exquisite man is such a waste for that psychopath.' She inwardly sighed.
Aiden grinned at her, seeing that she was staring at his face in a way that was unusual for her – confused and very innocent; he was tempted to move in and kiss her full lips, but Scarlet's eyes widened and she pushed him away, leaving Aiden staring at him in confusion. [Scarlet] never care about privacy so this is the first time she rejected his kiss.
"T-this is not the time for this, Aiden." She stammered as she glanced at the time written on the floating interface of her quest.

Scarlet heard Ragna snort likely displeased but she ignore him and told Aiden about her idea right away.
"We are running out of time, Aiden. Listen to me; we need to lure the enemies inside the palace."
"Isn't it dangerous? The children are still inside." He worriedly asked.
"Don't worry; I have the White Crows have evacuated the children." She said, surprising Aiden however she had no time to worry about Aiden's response; the plan had to go ahead right now or both she and her consorts who are [marked] would die.
"As previously said, in order for us to set up a trap for the opponents, they must enter the palace walkway. I'll share the strategy with you as we go," Scarlet persuaded Aiden once more.
Although Aiden was still full of questions, he realized that time was of the essence; particularly because so many of his allies were getting hurt or killed every minute and they lacked the manpower to prevail in this battle.
When Aiden saw that the enemies were in the middle of the drawbridge, he knew it was the perfect moment to carry out the plan.
"Everyone retreat now!" When Aiden saw his chance, he yelled, one of the knights on a horse had offered to take me for a ride."
"Now let's go!" When he eventually got aboard the horse, he said to Scarlet, and she nodded in agreement.
"Ragna, let's go."
And they all start retreating back to the palace ground.
The rebels didn't realize anything was wrong; instead, their egos were boosted when they noticed the renowned Commander Kroft and the Queen running away.
"What's the plan?" Aiden asked as they continued to sprint down the pathway, with all the Black Hound Knights present on the battlefield following them.
"We need to need to reach the Escalus trees as a rendezvous after that the archers will launch a surprise attack; Beckmann and the others had entered the secret passage and will attack in the back and the remaining rebels that were entering the draw bridge." She adds, worriedly staring at the interface.
