The Return of the Female Knight

CHAPTER 6

She's confused.

If the legend of the royal family was true, then Paveluc should also have the characteristics of a dragon in his last battle with him, but he still maintained his human form even after he had cut off one of his arms. If the royal family really had dragon blood, there was no reason to hide it. Rather than be treated with scorn and humiliation, the emperor would definitely be feared as a god. Other countries would not dare to challenge the might of the Rufford Empire.

'…Why?'

Why should he hide it? Why didn't Paveluc seem like a dragon in his previous life, but Crown Prince Carlisle did? Or maybe…

Or maybe he was not part of a dragon, but rather a monster. Many strange rumors were circulating because the crown prince had never appeared. Elena stood frozen when she saw that scene.

Cut it!

One of the enemy knight's swords cut off the crown prince's side. When a fountain of blood spurted from the wound, Elena quickly regained her senses.

'I don't care what the crown prince really is. He was the first in a row to ascend the throne, even if he was a monster. '

Nothing changed his plan. Now he was more curious than surprised by the prince, but this was not the time to think about it. He'll dig up the royal family's secrets later. At this moment, saving Prince Carlisle was his top priority. His past self would easily get along with the assassins, but he could not do so in this condition.

'What should I do?'

He quickly looked around and saw some small explosives in the arms of the corpse. Apparently the assassins were intent on killing themselves as a last resort to bring down the prince. There were also many horses wandering around as there were corpses lying on the floor.

"…All right."

Elena moved quickly with determination. He collected some small explosives from some corpses and took an arrow on the ground. He was better with a normal bow, but it took more effort to pull the bow repeatedly and he was unsure how many arrows he could shoot at his current strength. The automatic arrow trigger launch was a weapon more suited to him now. Although it was not a familiar weapon, Elena had never missed a target in her previous life.

"Yeah!"

With an arrow in her hand, Elena started riding her horse towards Carlisle. At the same time, he threw some small explosives that he had collected.

The gagagagagang!

They land on explosives in the arms of a dead killer, causing a chain reaction that causes a larger explosion. The loud noise caused the assassins to attack Carlisle scattering.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I'll go and find out."

The carefully coordinated assassins were quick to react, but they could not hide their shock with a clattering sound from all sides. It was the sound of horses running wild when they heard the sound of explosives and the resulting fire. Because of that small raid, the assassins could not even guess who was coming from which direction. There was a loud cry.

"Save the Crown Prince!"

At the same time, three arrows pierced through the smoke created from the flames and pierced through the hearts of the assassins.

"Enemy!"

"The prince's proposal has come!"

The sound of horse hooves rumbled around them as thick smoke blurred their gaze. Through the chaos he finally found a gap between the assassins.

Tadhag, tadadag.

The knight wore black armor from head to toe, and the helmet covering his entire face only showed two blood-red eyes. The assassin was fully prepared for the impending attack led by the black knight, but there was something strange. Elena, who jumped into the enemy territory alone, stayed only for a moment. Carlisle's green eyes and Elena's red eyes met.

"Your Majesty, hurry!"

With an urgent cry, Elena extended her hand to Carlisle and she took it without hesitation.

Taak!

Elena pulled him over, Carlisle used the tension to jump up and sit behind him on the horse.

It happened in the blink of an eye. The slow-reacting assassins quickly raised their voices.

"Stop them!"

Elena drew her sword and slashed at the people blocking their path. However, it is difficult to escape safely due to losses in numbers. This was not a situation that he could sit down and negotiate with the enemy. Carlisle spoke in a low voice behind Elena.

"Give me control."

It was a miracle that he was still conscious given the huge wound on his side. His shirt was so covered in blood that he didn't even know where the wound was. Even so, an extra hand in this situation would be of great help.

"Here,"

he said hurry and handed over control to her. After leaving Carlisle to control the horse, Elena focused on getting rid of the assassins right as they left. As they fled in the street, two arrows flowed out from behind like rain. Elena quickly cut him down with her sword, then took out her arrow again. He turned around so he faced backwards, then started shooting arrows at the pursuing enemy.

Tang, yang!

One by one the enemies fell. He wanted to take a photo of the head, but he aimed at the center of their chest just to make sure he wouldn't miss out. The enemy eventually became further away.

Fwm!

One of the few arrows fired by the assassin landed right on Carlisle's back.

"Aghhh!"

He screamed in shock and blood flowed out of his mouth. She looked at him anxiously, but Carlisle continued in a steady voice.

"I can hold on. No need to stop. "

"But-"

"Don't look at me like I'm gonna die soon."

Elena bit her lip. He wants to shout, “You will die today!” But it was not the time to argue with him. At that time the most important thing was the safety of Crown Prince Carlisle. Whether he had just died there or died here from excessive bleeding, the result would be the same and his plan would mean nothing. He looked at Carlisle clenching tightly at the controls despite the arrow on his back.

"Then stay with me so I don't have to worry."

Carlisle looked at her with a questioning look, but now was not the time to talk at length with each other. Elena pointed her arrow again at the persistent killer.
