'Blood…
'Blood again…'
Thales shakily extended his right hand and touched his sticky face. Staring at the blood on his palm, which was becoming icy cold, he felt that his breaths were not his anymore.
"Shield District is filled with their people… Despicable Northlanders…"
Aida's voice rang.
It sounded like it was coming from somewhere far away.
"Listen up, kid, even though the calamity was there… Putray dispatched all your subordinates to search for you; that cocky brat from the Caso Family, that masked mute who's always by your side, and even Starlight Brigade's veteran…"
The elf protector carried the second prince under her arm and advanced rapidly. Rubble, fragments of wood and even dead bodies flashed past the prince's vision.
It took Thales some effort to breathe. He turned and saw that Little Rascal was being carried under Aida's other arm. Grasping her glasses tightly, she looked stupefied.
