The Amber Sword

When Caglis woke up from a severe shock, he subconsciously touched his forehead, full of blood, but after a careful examination of his body, he found that there was nothing painless but no trauma.

He moaned and pushed away the crushed stone on himself before realizing that the blood from his body was flowing in from the outside - a completely stiff corpse with its face down on the crushed stone, a knight wearing a coat of armor and the emblem of the Aufilia family on the ash-pushing armor.

Caglis had a mess in his head, but he subconsciously checked to see if the knight was still alive. Without a doubt, the other party had been out of breath for a long time, and the fatal wound was a pervasive wound behind his back, tearing his heart and lungs apart.

He touched the rolled armor with his hands, and if he had thought about it, it could never have been the wounds caused by the explosion, which showed that the explosion had been artificially created and that the guards of the Count's residence had been attacked.

Caglis suddenly had a breakthrough in his heart, and the first thing he thought of was, who was the target of these men, Grand Duke of Lantoniland, or His Royal Highness the Little Prince?

It's broken.

He was an accompanying martial officer in this mission and, as captain of the White Lion Guard who arrived in Lantoniland with the mission, it was his natural duty to protect His Highness Haruze. If anything happens to the little prince in this attack, not only will he die, he will have no courage to see the Lord again, but he will also be the sinner of Eruin.

To think of it, Caglis almost immediately got a cold sweat, and the pain seemed to disappear instantly. He stood up from the ground one by one, picked up the knight's sword and walked outside the courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, half the Count's mansion collapsed was still burning, and from time to time something broke and more than a dozen knights' bodies scattered far away. Caglis had to take a breath of cold air and reassessed the scale of the attack in his heart.

He suddenly thought of something, reaching into his pocket, where there was a ruby pin, which was actually a transmitting crystal that could be used to connect with each other within a certain distance. Turning over the pin, Caglis pressed his hand against the metal base of the ruby and pin, but his brain was buzzing and confused, trying several times without exciting the effect of the stone.

Just when he was a little anxious, a shout came from not far away:

“Mr. Caglis! ”

Caglis instantly raised his head.

Haruze was running in this direction with Mikaya: "Mr. Kaglis, you're all right. That's great. ”

“I should say this,” Caglis felt as if he had come back to life again, and he looked up and down at the future king, His Majesty, to confirm that the other side was indeed intact, before taking a long breath of relief: “Where have you been, Your Highness? ”

“Mikaya saved me.” Haruze replied, introducing: “She is Mikaya, and the teacher knows her. ”

In fact, the last time they were in Shallow Water Town with Mikaya, it was just one side of the line, but Haruze knew that his eldest sister didn't like to mix herself with people of unknown origin, and he was a little weak when he introduced them.

But Caglis didn't care. He was just a little surprised that his lord knew this little girl. He took a closer look at the latter and thought it was a beautiful embryo, but he said, "Thank you very much, Miss Mikaya. ”

Mikaya behaved so well in front of a stranger that she lifted her dress and generously gave a gift to Caglis.

“Mr. Caglis, I'm afraid it was a premeditated attack.” Haruze then told him everything he had seen before.

Caglis frowned and he had expected it, but when he heard that the attackers were Bukas, he couldn't help but feel the challenge.

In the impression of ordinary people, the Bukas are of the highest silver descent, not to mention those who are wizards, but the natural strong ones. Their empire in the sky is unreachable to mortals, and, of course, at this time, not many Eruins, including Caglis, know that the Buga empire of the sky has been destroyed.

But in any case, it's a choking thing to be up against such a giant thing.

But his heart was full of doubt, Tonigal's relationship with the Bukas had always been good, and the Bukas had built a fleet for Lord Lord, not to mention Turaman's relationship with Eruin himself. When did the Grand Duke of Rantoniland offend the Bukas and bring revenge?

But it doesn't seem to make sense why they're looking for a little prince.

“What do we do now, Mr. Caglis?” Haruze asked.

Looking back in the direction of the Count's residence, Caglis collapsed most of the main entrance holes of the Count's residence, and the bodies of several knights were hidden in the lobby. Looks like the Duke of Lantoniland should have left step by step, and the attackers chased the past in that direction.

But what made him wonder was why they were interested in Irala, the newborn baby girl.

“If all of this is true,” he replied, "then Bernichel may not be safe anymore, and it's really not easy for us to get out of here. Your Highness, you have a good idea. If you can contact Mr. Eko, they are indeed a viable solution. Despite the attacks here, the Lantonians still have an army in Bernichel..."

He stopped and couldn't help complaining: "Too bad I don't know where they went now, and I don't know where Miss Les Mecca and her friends went, and of course Starr, that damn bastard! ”

“Mr. Caglis, Micaya, she may have a way.” Haruze suddenly said.

“Hmm?” Caglis looked at the little girl.

The little girl nodded and nibbled, “My lord, we can leave Bernichel from the sewer, and I know a path that leads to the banks of Deer Lake in the Aruchel Forest. ”

“Sewer?” Caglis, this reminds me that Arucher was once the military fortress of Rantoniland to Vieiro, where complete sewers and defenses were built, but that was at least a century ago, and he had to be somewhat surprised: “How do you know? ”

Micah lowered her head and whispered, “That's my home. ”

“Oh, my God,” exclaimed Caglis. “Poor boy, Lord, how come he didn't take you away? You're so much better in Tonigal than you are here. ”

“I don't blame Mr. Brando," replied Mikaya, "I don't want to. My father and mother are here, and I don't want to leave them. ”

Caglis shook his head straight, but Haruze looked at Mikaya skeptically, always feeling that the latter was not telling the truth.

At least since when has she seen her teacher again?

At any rate, however, Caglis agreed to the proposal, as they did not know at the moment how many attackers there were in Bernichel and the situation in the town was unclear, and the best option was to leave the land temporarily, especially if Haruze's identity could not be lost at all.

But Haruze was still worried about Starr, and Caglis didn't think so: "The guy disappeared a long time ago, and God knows where it went. ”

“But…”

“Nothing, but, Your Highness, Starr, it is no longer a dragon. A cowardly, fearful dragon can be a problem.” Caglis was full of irony when he mentioned the words' cowardly fears': 'Miss Les Mecca, who were not at the banquet and were supposed to suffer minimal repercussions, should be moved to a safe place as soon as possible, and then contacted them so that they would not be at risk again for fear of us. ”

Haruze nodded and agreed to the proposal.

……

The Count of Violet was originally transformed by the barracks at Fort Bernichel, and although rebuilt several years after the Iron Feather, the interior structure preserved many of the original designs, in addition to defensive considerations, for temporary shelter.

This role is apparently useful today, and although it has collapsed most of the way on the surface, the interior of the Count's residence is still incredibly large, with corridors and corridors bent around and easily lost unless someone familiar leads the way.

But naturally, for its original owner, there was no obstacle, and Ike quickly took his wife and daughter on a road to the basement in the mansion.

The light in the corridor was very dark, the doors of many rooms were wide open, maids and waiters had fled clean at the start of the unrest, but Ike did not know how many people could escape safely or how many intruders there were in Bernichel Town at the moment.

The lack of movement of the patrol cavalry and town guards has sinked his heart straight, and it was Bernichel's supposed quiet evening outside the Count's mansion. But the night was not peaceful, and the occasional flashes in the night sky, and the far cry of death, the cry of despair, rendered this restless night particularly heavy.

He walked his wife Yura through the long corridor with only two of his entourage, and fortunately there was a nanny in the house who could not escape, now holding their daughter Irala.

Strangely enough, in such an atmosphere, the baby girl fell asleep as if she were completely unaffected by the surrounding environment. When Ike looked back at his daughter's quiet little face from time to time, he felt much more at ease.

He held his wife's hand tightly and felt the warmth coming from Yura's hand. Yura was silent, but all her feelings were long gone.
