"This can't be!"
Standing outside Rizelle's chamber with his back pressing against the wall, Prince Nicien tightly squeezed his cape when he heard his wife's response to the bad news.
"Vincent is the best among the royal guards of my Linolia! He won't die! I don't believe this!"
"If Vincent or anyone else makes it out alive, they will already return, Your Highness," Captain Villiam said to the Princess. He stood still a few steps away from the latter and his gaze was on the floor all the while.
It wasn't easy for him too but… he had no other choice. He could only obey the Prince.
Rizelle Vamieres observed the sword that Captain Villiam gave her a while ago. The hilt indeed had the symbol of the Linolian Royal Guards carved in it and if this wasn't enough, the ornament hanged on the bottom of the hilt was enough to let her know that it indeed belonged to Vincent.
