Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 The King's last stand

Looking at her mother who was crying in front of her and her little sister who was missing an arm and currently on a coma, she really doesn't know what to do. Studying medicine from her mother since she was still young.

Although her dream was just to read books and laze around all day till she gets old, but seeing her little sister practicing swordsmanship early in the morning and getting some scratches and little flesh wounds. She decided to study medicine for her sister since she knew that one day she might get seriously wounded.

But now the only thing I can do is stop the bleeding and pray that she somehow survive.

With all that was happening and the peaceful life just shattered right in front of her, she couldn't help her tears to bursts.

"SCARLET!" Suddenly a heavy voice sounded outside the makeshift hospital. King Raphael Evergreen Griffin II who ruled the Evergreen Kingdom was now a bit disheveled and out of breath as he barge inside. Looking around and seeing her eldest daughter and her wife both crying while looking at the little girl lying on the bed. When he first received the news of her daughter who was carried to the hospital, he immediately ran and hopefully nothing bad happened.

"No Scarlet! What-"

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Before the King could approach them the Queen suddenly yelled and took all her pent-up emotions to him.

"I TOLD YOU! I told you to stop her when she was still young! She's a girl and you encouraged her to be like a man!? Now look what happened to our daughter!" She doesn't want to get angry to her husband because even if they stopped Scarlet to be a knight, she would still find ways. But what could she do, her daughter is now dying. As the head of the Hospital in Evergreen, she knew the severity of loosing too much blood.

Hearing her wife's yell, he didn't get angry but powerless instead as he still has some bad news to tell.

"Knight Frank!" He called someone outside and a knight in a plate mail armor immediately entered.

"Yes my King!"

"Along with your troops escort everyone in here to the castle immediately!"

"Everyone as you might have guest as more and more wounded brought back, the battle at sea. We lost!

Though the navy suffered a defeat we still have not lost the war. Including the troops from the Cecilion Empire who retreated and my army, we will defend the doors of the Evergreen at all cost.

Knight Frank! Also tell all the young and old to shelter themselves in the castle. As my last order as a King, I want you to protect my family at all cost." The King should provide protection for his people until he breath his last.
