"G—General, royal armies are wanting to meet you and Altair Roderick."
Altair and General Vega stared at each other, having an ominous feeling. General Vega asked, "What do they want?"
"They want you to hand them, Altair Roderick. He shall be arrested. That's what they said, General," the soldier outside said.
Altair's face paled. He was not scared of bunch of B ranked guards, he could kill them in one snap, but he was scared that they would harm General Vega and other soldiers. The royal guards were well known to be coercive and often used their immunity from the king or prince to do whatever they wanted.
"G—General, I will hand myself to them. I don't want you to get hurt," Altair said.
"What are you saying?!" General Vega grabbed Altair's hand and assured him, "You protected me when I was about to get killed, and I will protect you as well!"
