Jimmy and several of Ray's classmates were stabbed by the swords of the 8 guards in the dining room. Only 2 guards remained, who were still on the princess's side and trying to protect her.
One of the traitors tried to attack the princess, but his sword was blocked by a loyal guard. Meanwhile, the other guard stood beside the princess, pointing his sword at a madman in front of her.
Ray saw Jimmy looking at him while coughing up blood. Jimmy's torn stomach made Ray stare in horror, his trembling lips unable to utter a word. Ray's irregular breath echoed in the room along with the screams of his classmates in pain from being stabbed.
Some of them were torn from the chest to the side of their bodies. Some were stabbed directly in the heart. Some even had their heads severed.
But the fate of those who died instantly was different from the fate of the princess's personal guard. His lifeless body was played with like a doll. His right hand was cut off and thrown towards the princess, who was still in shock at the scene.
One of the surviving guards tried to attack Anderson, who was playing with the body of the princess's personal guard. Unfortunately, the sword he swung was easily stopped by Anderson's finger.
Anderson forcefully took the guard's sword and cut off both his hands and legs. The guard was helpless and ended up lying on the floor without any arms or legs.
Anderson laughed happily as he did all this, then he suddenly stopped laughing because he got an idea. He smiled widely again and started laughing while walking towards the lifeless body of the princess's personal guard with one of his missing hands.
Anderson cut off the guard's other hand and took it with him. He walked towards the guard who had previously tried to attack him and opened the guard's mouth wide while laughing.
"No, no, no, please stop, stop, stop all of this. Please, forgive me, my lord. Forgive me, please let me go!" the guard screamed hysterically, tears and mucus streaming down his face like a crying child being forced to eat vegetables.
Anderson happily shoved the hand of the princess's personal guard into the mouth of the guard who tried to attack him, still smiling. A smile filled with evil intentions and merciless torture was given to the guard without any reason or justification. Because in reality, Anderson just wanted to do it at that moment.
As Anderson looked around after torturing the guard, he stopped laughing and lost his joy because he lost some people around him.
Anderson looked at his other companions who were equally confused by the situation. He looked at them without any feelings of anger or anything else, just confusion in his mind.
Anderson opened a book that he kept in his pocket under his robe. He opened it while tilting his head and even rubbed his face on the floor out of confusion. His movements could make anyone who saw him think he was insane and had lost his sanity.
"Weird, this is weird, weird, weird, weird, weird. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why is this happening? This is not what's written here. Why is my own destiny deceiving me? Shouldn't I be eating among these corpses?" Anderson muttered incoherently after reading the book.
Even his long nails scratched his face, causing his skin to bleed. He inexplicably hurt his body by scratching his face with his nails.
Anderson stopped rambling after doing that and fell silent for a moment before saying, "You guys... Chase those rabbits now and kill them all except the princess... hurry!"
All the black-robed figures whose faces were not visible immediately rushed with all their might to carry out the task given by Anderson.
Unfortunately, on the other side, Ray, the princess, Cecilia, and Alice were already too far away from that place. Ray, who knew a little escape route in that place, was trying to urge the others to leave.
Ray was carrying the princess on his back while holding Cecilia's hand tightly.
The princess, on Ray's back, muttered incoherently with a vacant gaze. The excessive shock she experienced from the sudden change in the situation almost broke her.
"Why is this happening again? Why? What did I do wrong? Why do you always give me suffering like this throughout my life, oh my god? Why? If I have wronged you, please forgive me. If you don't want to, just kill me. Why do other people have to suffer around me?" the princess muttered while continuing to shed tears.
Her current state made her look like someone who didn't want to do anything and surrendered to her fate.
Alice followed them from behind and tried not to fall too far behind.
"Ray! Ray! Wait a moment!"
"Just wait a bit, Lia, listen to your brother's words. We need to get out of this cursed palace first!"
Ray still held Cecilia's hand tightly without thinking about anything else except escaping.
Damn, damn, damn, damn, why? Why? Why? Why? Why is that bastard here, you damn scum!
"Calm down, Ray, calm down!"
"Lia, you're telling me to calm down in a situation like this? Are you stupid or what?"
"I told you to stop and calm yourself down, you stupid brother!"
Cecilia tried to resist her brother's force that had been forcing her to escape with him. Ray's hand got stuck, causing the princess on his back to fall. Fortunately, Alice caught the princess's body before it hit the floor.
Alice, who managed to catch the princess, felt relieved. Now she could only remain silent while observing the actions of Ray and cecilia.
"Lia, are you crazy for doing this?"
"It's you who's crazy, Ray. Didn't you see some of our friends running in the wrong direction when we were escaping? Did you see them right?"
Ray turned his face to the side and said, "They're not my friends..."
Cecilia was frustrated and gritted her teeth in anger.
"Then you have no reason to drag me to escape with you, Ray!"
"You're different, you're my family. Besides, I brought Alice because she took care of me when I fainted before."
Cecilia was disappointed with her brother's thinking and started crying, shedding tears while wrinkling her face out of anger.
"Why? Why do you think like this, Ray? Where did your kindness go? They are also human beings like us, why do you need a reason to help someone? Hiks."
The hallway fell silent for a moment, with only Cecilia's crying voice, filled with sadness and anger towards her brother.
