About thirty minutes had passed since Ariana's initial run.
During that time, the gate that should have been open had still not been opened by Carla. Ariana looked towards the gate with a worried look. Even though the girl knew she should believe in Carla, Ariana still couldn't help but think about the worst scenario in her head. From the start, opening the gate from within with just two people sounded impossible. Ariana was just about to turn around to reach the gate when the heavy gate that was impossible to lift slowly began to rise upwards.
"Who, who opened the gate?! Where did the people who were asked to guard the gate go?!"
From a distance, Ariana could hear the soldiers screaming in panic. The chaos got even worse when from within the capital alone, Ariana could hear fast-moving horses. The look in Ariana's eyes softened slightly when she finally got to see Prince Raoul leading his army to enter the capital.
