Around the royal palace, there were even more guards that were all peak Mortal cultivators and were skilled in combat, and Joe knew that he had no chance against that many guards.

Instead, he needed to barge through and into the royal palace, and he was also assuming that if Elizabeth got into contact with the royals, they would call off the guards.

The royal palace was surprisingly large, luxurious and heavily guarded, which surpassed all the expectations that Bernard and Elizabeth of the small country that they had massively underestimated.

Bernard sat beside Elizabeth silently and could clearly see the change that she experienced after all the death and suffering that she had seen, and thought that it was for the best.

It was the turning point in her life that allowed her to mature rapidly and accept life for how it is.

"Well, it seems as though he have arrived at the Royal Palace. If we go any closer, the guards will stop and search us, so we need to break through now" said Joe.

"Do whatever you need to. As long as me and my servant are safe and we get an audience with the royal family" stated Elizabeth.

"That is what I like to hear" laughed Joe who withdrew his blade and prepared to break through the royal palace's defences.

Bernard was on high alert and prepared to protect Elizabeth with his life, while Joe, the guard unit leader, climbed on top of the carriage.

"This is the entrance to the royal palace, move back or we will attack" bellowed one of the guards that stood outside the royal palace.

"Move out of the way" shouted Joe as he jumped off the carriage and attacked the guards.

He made sure not to fatally wound them or kill them, as he knocked them down while he still had the element of surprise.

"Drive the carriage into the royal palace, I will protect the carriage and help you break through" called out the guard unit leader to the driver who was baffled by what was going on, but still did what he said.

Despite Joe's crazy attitude and nature, he was respected by his men and very capable as a leader, as he jumped back onto the carriage that Elizabeth was in and broke through the royal palace gates.

"Call out the royals now" bellowed Joe.

He had a wide smile on his face as he experienced the thrilling adrenaline rush that he was searching for. The royal palace archers began firing arrows at Joe without asking questions about what he was doing and why he was doing it, while Joe began deflecting the arrows with his weapon.

Although he was a skilled fighter and peak Mortal cultivator, he still couldn't deal with so many archers and was struck by a few arrows. He wouldn't be able to last much longer as the carriage crashed straight into the royal palace.

"Halt your firing, I demand an audience with the royal family" shouted Joe, who knew that he wouldn't be able to handle many more attacks.

Seeing that he had been taken down, the guards stopped their attacks and prepared to arrest him and the others in the carriage, so that they could punish them for trying to break into the royal palace.

It was unusual for someone to try and storm into the royal palace, and Joe was quite well known for being quite a young royal unit leader. However, he still had to be punished and would be interrogated by the royal guards to find out his reasoning.

Joe was staking his freedom and life on Elizabeth and was hoping that she would catch the attention of the royal family and be able to get him out of his situation, and even if she couldn't breaking out of a prison would be extremely exciting.

Although he would lose everything that he had gained and worked for, including his wealth, which he wasn't willing to lose. He was helping Elizabeth mostly because if she succeeded she could reward him massively and if she didn't, the most beautiful girl in the world would become his servant.

"Young girl, the rest is up to you," said Joe as he fell to one knee.

He felt light-headed from losing a lot of blood and sustaining too many injuries, but he still wanted to stay conscious and with his strong will was managing to do so, in a bid to watch what would happen next.

Elizabeth walked out of the carriage that had crashed with Bernard beside her and had already calmed herself down and prepared for what was going to happen next.

"I am Elizabeth Graham and am demanding an audience with the Gobe Royal Family immediately" announced Elizabeth.

Her voice was projected loudly and her body language was proud and confident, just like she had remembered from her mother when she was younger.

The guards were mesmerised by her never seen before beauty and didn't know how to react as some of them began to subconsciously kneel before her.

Her beauty, words and demeanour were all that of a queen and unknowingly, most of the guards felt as though it was her duty to serve her.

They couldn't understand why it was that way, and Elizabeth also felt that by being more confident she was somehow able to influence others with her looks and aura. She couldn't explain how and wasn't sure whether it was some sort of hidden ability, but it was something that she had subconsciously unlocked and had been using on a smaller scale her entire life.

"Take me to the royal courtroom immediately" ordered Elizabeth as the guards began to surround her in a protective formation and led her into the royal palace.

Bernard and Joe were baffled by what was going on and Elizabeth had somehow been able to turn the tables and gain control, despite not being a cultivator, using only her words and beauty.
