“6th Star Castle too.”
“Send the 3rd Star Castle. And the 2nd Star Castle.”
Afterward, Raymond glanced briefly at Kreta and added.
“Is that enough?”
“Outside the territory.”
“Beyond the natural territory…… No, outside the territory too.”
Blat, who had been nodding at Raymond’s words, suddenly laughed as he saw a black mass shimmering beyond the horizon.
“Yeah, what’s the point of saying whether it’s the natural or external castle? We have to go outside the territory.”
“Far.”
“Got it. Very far outside the territory.”
Muttering as if to confirm once again, Blat soon pulled a small ivory flute from his bosom and blew it forcefully.
“Retreat!”
Shortly after his cry, an answer echoed from below the castle walls.
“Retreat to the natural territory!”
“Take the personnel from the external castle and the members from the natural castle! Retreat, everyone!”
Blat blew the small flute forcefully again.
The tumult that echoed Blat’s command was only momentary.
The knights of Valroc, who naturally obeyed the command, quickly lined up and began to evacuate the castle.
Although it was too clear what it meant to retreat outside the territory, the knights of Valroc did not shed tears.
They still had work to do.
They were knights until they safely evacuated ‘Youngji Min’ and ‘Lady Duke.’
They had to protect Valroc.
It wasn’t time to mourn yet.
“Hurry.”
At the small sound someone made, the footsteps, already lively, quickened a bit more.
The reason the commanders remained was obvious.
To buy time for ‘Youngji Min’ to escape with them.
“Hurry.”
Someone urged once again.
They had to fulfill the last order given by the commander.
Otherwise, the six lives lost would be too regrettable.
If they lived under the Valroc command, they would take everyone with them.
That was the best the knights could do.
The biting wind seemed to freeze their eyeballs, or perhaps it was the nasty coldness that kept obscuring their vision.
Blinking their eyes, the knights kept pushing away the cold that kept covering their vision.
Amidst their footsteps, round ice fell incessantly.
Thump.
Thump.
It was because the eyes were constantly irritated that the coldness piercing through them did not stop.
So, between their steps, the knights, who unknowingly groaned, suddenly found themselves whimpering.
“What is that…?”
Although they thought they had moved away from hell, the place they arrived at was a new hell.
“A wyvern horde?”
On the roof of the blue Grand Citadel and the turrets of each tower, wyverns were attached without any gaps.
“What… What should we do about that?”
The front was pitch black.
Although they thought they had moved far away, it was the first time they had seen such a dreadful sight.
“…”.
The knights stood speechless, staring blankly at that moment.
Something unfamiliar caught their sight.
A black dot climbing up the castle wall.
If they didn’t see it wrong, it was a person.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
“It should catch the Lady Duke’s attention.”
Even though sweat stung his eyes as it flowed down, Ohenry gritted his teeth desperately.
His entire body ached.
He had already reached his limit.
Despite practicing every morning, it was nothing in front of the ‘demon.’
He quickly understood why his elder brother, the pride of the family, had fallen.
And now, he somewhat grasped the extraordinary power of Duke Balroc, which people referred to as ‘inhuman.’
Before, it was too vague to even make a guess, but now it felt so enormous that it seemed unreal.
“Hoo…”
Spitting out the overflow of the metallic smell from within, Ohenry swung his sword again.
The end of the 4th-floor left corridor collapsed.
Crack! Crack!
Kyaah!
The wyvern, four times larger than the one that had broken through the window earlier, excitedly roared, peering into the hole Ohenry had made.
“Let’s do it together.”
“What?”
Ohenry turned his head at the maid’s words.
The maid, who had been watching from a distance since they were crowded, jumped in.
For a moment, she showed off unbelievable skills as a maid, but soon her face turned pale as she gasped for breath.
“Since we both are in trouble, let’s team up.”
“…….”
Ohenry couldn’t figure out what to say.
Whether to thank her.
Or maybe to push her away, holding her side, telling her to take a breath.
“Are you seriously injured?”
“If you’re asking if I can fight, I can.”
Even in a state that seemed like he would die soon, she was still panting and blinking her eyes.
No wonder Ohenry felt slightly dizzy.
“Even if I die, I’ll kill it and die. So, stop chattering and move with me.”
If everything had been decided, why bother asking?
Even in the middle of it, the maid turned out to be an extraordinary person, turning the human world upside down.
“Ohenry, go and capture the lady’s heart.”
If it hadn’t been for the voice ringing in his ears, Ohenry might have said something to the maid a long time ago.
At that time, she was subtly muttering something, her face turning pale, and she was breathing heavily.
“How severe is it?”
“If you’re asking if I can fight, I can.”
Even when Ohenry, who had collapsed as if he would die soon, stood up, everything was over.
The maid had defeated the wyvern.
“You fool! What if you get distracted? We almost died! Were you curious about the taste of a wyvern’s teeth?”
“W-when did it come in? Sorry… Hey? Maid.”
Ohenry hastily took the fallen maid into his arms.
The maid looked refreshed.
As if hugging a dead brother.
“Hey.”
“…….”
“Hey! Let’s move together!”
When Ohenry shouted loudly, bursting with horrific memories, a voice that couldn’t ring out at the end of the stairs was heard.
“Shane?”

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
