Behind The Castle's

**WAR HAS COME IV**

Carl's head looked up, staring at the deep sky that was beginning to stop the water. The sound of water droplets that began to reduce his dipper made a commotion and the noise of the swords getting stronger hit his pendenggan

Victoria continued to observe all the movements and also all the numbers of her troops, especially the enemy troops that had just been depleted by half, while the palace troops only left behind the strongest troops.

"Help with Carl's arrow"

Carl immediately nodded and began to raise his hand upwards with one of his index fingers raised and dropped forward, towards the enemy.

The arrows shot back towards the enemy troops who did not move. The troops that the enemy might be preparing to launch a residual attack, level the palace, and Victoria would not allow that.

"Shields.."

Carl's mutterings made Victoria nod, as she could also see if the unmoving enemy troops instantly raised their shields as the arrows began to fly.

Victoria took a deep breath that made Carl look at her.

"What should we do, Carl?"

Carl's face looked back to the front, his brain spinning violently to assess the situation

"There is no Your Majesty. We can only be like this"

"I agree"

Is correct... Victoria could only agree with Carl, because if they threw stones, their troops who were swinging swords at the enemy would be hit by the enormous stones. There is no other way but to wait. Waiting to see how far they can survive.

Hours had passed and their army was dwindling. The rain of arrows had also been stopped but the situation below was still very dangerous, too dangerous.

Victoria lowered her headgear as the rain began to subside and left only small specks. Both of his eyes pinched sharply at the three princes who already had no intention to move and were now just staring towards the tower with their headscarves open.

"Let's get Carl down"

Carl frowned and immediately shook his head strongly

"No Your Majesty, you can't go down"

"We have to get down Carl. Look...." Victoria blinked her chin forward, which made Carl look back down. "They want to meet me"

Carl's eyes closed for a moment while breathing deeply. Then he breathed out strongly

"But I ask for one thing, one thing you should always remember, Your Majesty"

Victoria turned to look at Carl who was already looking at her firmly and deeply

"What Carl?"

"Whatever happens, your life is the main thing. Anything can't make you hurt even if you have to change one scratch your wound for many lives, remember if it's worth it, Your Majesty"

Elisabeth was still in Henry's arms trying to calm her mother's trembling body. The outbreak of war around the palace made Elisabeth very frightened. Henry's hands continued to rub his mother's back and blond hair, occasionally his mouth continued to give a soothing speech that was expected to make his mother a little better.

"Are we going to die Hen?"

Henry nodded quickly

"No mother, the palace will not be broken. His Majesty and Her Majesty must have a way"

Elisabeth tightened her hugging

"When will this end Hen? when will this all stop? I can't take it anymore...."

Henry just kept quiet while rubbing his mother's back. He only kept silent when the question was returned to his mother because, he himself did not know when the war and the attack would end.

It had been two hours the big horses had moved. The silence of the night and the darkness of the sky still enveloped the earth. Fredrick pulled his bridle as his eyes caught the border sign to enter into the heart of the capital, Vancia Palace was already in sight.

His other knights, plus Jeremmy, Tomy and Lucas, pulled their harnesses and jumped off the horse as Fredrick jumped first.

"Come"

All of his patriarchs nodded and immediately ran out to follow Fredrick who was leading their way. Silently and with a serious look they continued to run until they saw the view of the Royal Palace. They're getting closer.

Fredrick's line of sight was sharpened to observe the guard there. And it is true that his prediction, if the palace is not in full care. Their forces were raiding a powerful kingdom that would definitely make them deploy a full army to attack his kingdom. The Royal Palace is in a state of weakness.

"We split up in silence. Don't use a lot of your energy for unnecessary things. I need your manpower when I'm inside the palace"

"Good Your Majesty!"

They started running back while remembering the floor plan of the palace and all the palace places they could make a place to sneak. Moreover, the location of the King of Vancia room, around the room of King Jarvis which will certainly be guarded strictly.

Their steps stopped at a horse's insta outside the Royal palace. High iron fence towering and in guard quite tight. Without needing to be ordered, Xander, Farel and Keelft immediately advanced quietly and inaudibly. The others waited in silence, until a few minutes later Keelft appeared while waving his already wet sword in red.

Fredrick again led their way to approach the iron fence. The new iron fence was breached by his most skilled knight in breaking and sneaking, Keelft.

"Start"

One word from Fredeick made them nod briefly and instantly spread on all sides within the palace. Silence continued to envelop the Royal palace, darkness became the pemulus of the work of his golden knights to reduce the lives of his guards.

Fredrick walked leisurely, slowly, carefully and inaudibly. Even though all the senses in his body were fixed on full alert. Both of Fredrick's eyes glazed as he looked at the corridor leading to King Jarvis' room. Fredrick started counting all the guards there. There were more than thirty and it made Fredrick clack up. Why does the room have to be kept so tight? could King Jarvis only move his hand to write and not move his hand to swing the sword?

Fredrick's head twitched to stretch his muscles, and his legs began to step in silence and calm. Sneaking in the night lighting. His hand quickly drew the sword.

The sudden sound of sword friction struck the hearing of the two front guards of the corridor making all the heads that were near Fredrick's step turn towards him but, too late, it was too late, without a sound the two necks instantly spouted a red color as Fredrick's hand moved swinging his sword. The sound of bodies falling down hard on the floor brought the attention of all the guards, the other guards headed straight towards Fredrick while pulling their swords. Fredrick's hand drew one sword back, both of his swords happily ready to give another color on the floor of the corridor's blue carpet.

Fredrick's swords kept swinging to slice through the flesh on the dead body parts of the guards and bodyguards, a commotion that filled the silence making the guards and other guards head straight to the scene of the matter. Someone swiftly headed to the danger bell and...

The sound of danger bells was already ringing, which made all the guards and guards in all corners of the palace immediately move from their respective places, which would definitely bring their steps to the place of top priority. King Jarvis' room but their steps were stopped when the knights Fredrick ambushed and immediately confronted them.

Jeremmy cursed when he heard the bell ringing, because he had just slashed four heads in silence, this was beyond his expectations

"Your king is very impatient! goddamnit!"

Keelft chuckled amusedly at Jeremmy who kept cursing in annoyance and directly advanced as the guards and bodyguards approached at them. The clangs of the sword and the swipes of the sword on the flesh began to fill all sides of the palace. Every corner of the palace was full of commotion and full of red color.

Other knights on various sides began to craze especially Tomy who began to blindly swing his sword

"Come on, Tom..."

Tomy ignored Farel's words which kept chuckling at the sight of him starting to rampage.

Gregory cursed and kept cursing loudly as his body was thrown into the pool for resistance. Lincont was blown away with both of her hands that continued to slice through the meat.

"Greet the fish there Gory"

Gregory again cursed as his shoulder was hit by the swing of the opponent's sword. His half-drowned body in the pool made it a little difficult to move when surrounded. Poor Gregory made Lincont kind enough to help her up with a hand that was constantly ready to swing a sword.

Xander growled annoyed when he got another shot at his feet, his legs were exposed to the sword of a general during the ambush earlier.

Lucas chuckled and approached Xander who grimaced painfully but with a face that looked like it was going berserk.

"Don't rampage Xander, your face looks terrible"

"Silence you son of a bitch!"

Lucas again chuckled amusedly while shadowing Xander who was binding his wound

A few guards and bodyguards unguarded by golden knight Fredrick began to arrive at Fredrick, and Fredeick still happily slaughtered them mercilessly, unhindered and blindly.
