248 Run, my little sister

The king had been in a state of worry lately. Everything was too quiet—in fact, it was too peaceful despite the chaos inside his mind. Alexander Octavius Ein Feuerkrieger IX felt at peace just a moment ago. But tranquility didn't last long—because apparently, the forsaken attacks tonight. Who would have expected the forsaken to be such a hasty person? That was what the circle was talking about just several minutes ago, before he left to fend off the fire giant wreaking havoc into the royal city.

The king felt bad leaving Faustina behind, but this was something that she couldn't handle, even if they were telling him about her great mana. And the king couldn't possibly bring her to battle. She had to stay at the castle where it's safe. He commanded the captain of the Knighthood of the Firehawk to guard her. Sir Roth Adelard was an impeccable knight who would be competent enough to protect Faustina.
