Ascan carried me and headed for the northern gate of the palace. Jen, Carlton, and the Royal Guards also moved together to protect us.
The inside of the palace was in a tumultuous state due to the unquenchable flames. This caused confusion among the personnel guarding the northern gate.
Just as Ascan was about to exit the palace through the northern gate, the head of the guards happened to discover him and approached.
“Commander of the Royal Guards? Are you leaving the palace in this fire situation?”
The Royal Guards were a unit prioritizing the safety of the emperor. Ascan leaving in such a situation, especially with me in a wedding dress in his arms, appeared suspicious to anyone.
The guard captain’s suspicion was reasonable, but with Ascan having formidable power, he couldn’t stop him.
Ascan looked at the guard captain with an expressionless face and said, “Do I have to report every little thing?”
“Oh, no. I apologize. Please proceed. I was concerned about the Emperor’s safety… I’m sorry. Please go ahead.”
The guard captain bowed apologetically and stepped aside. Ascan’s performance was top-notch. He walked out of the northern gate confidently, still carrying me.
Then it happened.
“The Commander of the Royal Guards has rebelled! This is the Emperor’s order to prevent him from leaving the palace!”
The palace guards ran towards the northern gate, yelling loudly.
At that moment, the gazes of Ascan and the guard captain met.
Quickly drawing his sword, the guard captain shouted at the guards defending the northern gate, “Close the palace gate!”
At the guard captain’s command, the massive gate began to slowly close.
Once the gate was closed, reopening it would not be easy. It required several people to move it, implying that some would have to stay inside the palace to open the gate again.
Anyone left inside the palace in this situation was as good as dead.
Moreover, the longer we delayed, the more disadvantageous it became for us.
Ascan shouted, “Carlton!”
“Yes, Commander!”
Without much explanation, Carlton immediately rushed forward. He shot arrows at the guards trying to close the gate.
The guard captain also didn’t stay still. Holding a sword, he rushed towards Ascan.
Clang!
Zen, infused with a strong determination, intercepted the guard captain’s attack.
Unnoticed in the darkness, Zen, with shadow abilities, moved like a ghost.
I couldn’t perceive Zen’s movements, but Ascan seemed to have noticed. The guard captain, not paying attention, turned his body.
Although we fought against the guards defending the northern gate and bought some time, we couldn’t completely prevent the palace gate from closing.
Ascan looked down at me and said, “Bear with it a little, even if it’s uncomfortable.”
Huh?
I couldn’t understand what he meant.
It was when my tongue was paralyzed by the snake’s paralysis venom, rendering me unable to speak, that I opened my eyes wide and looked at Ascan.
Swoosh—
He lifted me, held in both his hands, and shouldered me like a sack. Despite the weight of an adult woman, Ascan effortlessly lifted me, which was astonishing.
Now free, he drew the Calspelliver from his waist.
Thud!
Ascan, demonstrating his immense strength, thrust the Calspelliver into the ground beneath the massive palace gate. The long blade of Calspelliver penetrated more than half into the ground.
Ascan shouted at the others, “No time to waste. Hurry!”
Hearing his voice, Carlton stopped shooting arrows and ran towards us. Zen quickly subdued the guard captain and turned around.
The other Royal Guards did the same. Everyone escaped through the palace gate that Ascan was holding with Calspelliver.
Though more reinforcements were coming from afar to capture us, it was already too late.
With one hand firmly holding me and the other drawing the Calspelliver embedded in the ground, Ascan leaped out of the palace and into the courtyard.
Crunch!
The palace gate, which had been still due to Calspelliver, finally began to work, closing completely.
“Hah, hah.”
I, held in Ascan’s arms, breathed heavily.
This was insane. If you had to pick the most thrilling moment in my life, it was now.
Whether Ascan protected me even in this situation where he was flying through the air or whether he was beneath me while I was safely nestled on top, it was unclear.
About to catch a breath, Ascan immediately stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
Everyone looked at Ascan with trusting eyes. Come to think of it, in the urgent situation just now, not a single person was sacrificed. Everything was due to Ascan’s excellent judgment and abilities.
I realized that I had unknowingly experienced many such incidents while acting with the Royal Guards. I had read novels and vaguely imagined these things, but now that I had directly experienced them, I understood why Bill and the Royal Guards were so loyal to Ascan.
Ascan embraced me again and quickened his pace. Not far from the northern gate, a carriage with familiar symbols engraved on it came into view.
