Bang! Boom!
Loud thuds could be heard coming from the banquet, along with the alarmed cries of the crowd.
Because he was prepared, Thales did not panic. But just as he subconsciously stood up, Mallos who was next to him pushed him over ruthlessly!
The extent of the force almost made Thales suspect his own personal guard captain was the assassin.
Thales fell into Glover's broad shoulders. Before he could react, the three strong men of the Star Lake Guards Defence Division—Bastia, Franzuke and Ferri—appeared out of nowhere and, together with Glover, formed four walls around the Duke of Star Lake, pressing closely against him, tight as a seal.
"High alert! Defence Division, take your positions! Vanguard Division, report!"
Mallos' voice passed through the gaps between the four strong men, "In any case…"
"Protect His Highness, and escort him to a safe place!"
