No. That is not possible.

He would not have done this, would he?

It matters not. For this treachery, no matter the enemy, I will cut them down where they stand!

Ah… Greetings, General.

It’s good to see that you are safe.

!!!

La… Lady Aurelia!?

What are you doing here? This area is not safe!

I will have my best men escort you back to…

Thank you, General. I can take care of myself, but the people of the city are in need of help.

I cannot simply hide when they need me most.

Will you be heading towards the North? That is where the battle is fiercest, is it not?

Yes, my lady.

But…

That’s a relief~

I am sure I will come to no harm in your presence.

Let us not dally any further, General. We should be on our way.

But I…

…

Yes of course my lady.

I will personally see to it that you will come to no harm.

Centurion! I have faith in your abilities as a leader and a warrior.

Under no circumstance are you and your men allowed to leave her side.

If so much as a scratch lands on her…

*Gulps*

You wouldn’t want to see what Lord Zedus would do to us when he’s mad, would you?
