"G-Good," Lady Marcella stated.
The lady rushed back to her and Arabelle's chambers to quickly retrieve their swords. Edgar had given them the swords in the hope that, if Calden Castle was ever attacked, they could protect themselves.
At this moment, what Edgar feared happened. 20,000 soldiers from two houses —Anselm and Murdheim— were laying siege to Calden City and Calden Castle.
Lord Edgar had previously realized Calden Castle could only be defeated by betrayal from within. Sir Colton, as well as the rebellion by House Anselm and House Murdheim, were examples of treachery that potentially destroyed Calden Castle and Helferich.
However, Helferich still has someone with a big heart to protect the place. Arabelle and Marcella would not hand over Calden Castle to Lord Jaelys and Lord Ashel, even though the risk was the destruction of Calden Castle and the people around it.
