Bern, Cathy and Gil who are dressed as one of the holy knights have been looking and talking at each other in their minds while their swords point in the direction of Prince Adley and Evelyn.

'Should I just cut down this woman?'

​​

Bern said and obviously the person he was talking about is Saintess Elise who is still laughing her heart out as she watches the second Prince struggles to protect himself and Evelyn.

'We should wait for Evelyn's signal…' Gil said.

'I don't get it? What is she waiting for?' Bern asked, confused that Evelyn was still in the hands of Prince Adley even though she freed herself and killed the knights who were in her way.

'We still should wait…' Cathy replied which Bern answered with a click of his tongue.

It was because Evelyn wasn't answering their question and only ordered them to stay put and wait for the signal when it's time to turn things around.

They keep watching as Prince Adley slain a knight... then he killed five knights, it became ten, fifteen and now he reached twenty however its only one fourth of the holy knights that the Saintess prepared for him.

"Aren't you tired, your highness?"

They heard the sweet voice of Elise at the back while Prince Adley had his sweat trickle down his chin.

He viciously glared at Elise who tilted her head like a sweet girl and smiled like what she was doing was not treacherous to the royal family.

"You should know that you will never get away with this!" Prince Adley said with his teeth seething in anger.

"Hmm~ I wonder if "that" person knows what you're doing here making a ruckus when we all know that the fate of the girl in your arms has already been doomed since the beginning."

That time, Evelyn, who was handed a sword by the second prince, paused when she heard the things that Elise said.

'That person?'

Evelyn immediately thought that the person who planned all this behind must be the "person" that they were talking about.

"Tsk... !" Adley could only click his tongue and whispered to Evelyn.

"If you don't want to die then fight for yourself…"

"What? You're trusting me with your back? That's surprising… aren't you afraid I'll be the one to stab you at the back?" Evelyn whispered back.

"Then try it… let's see if you can escape by yourself besides… I know that you desperately want to know who and why is your family being targeted again and again."

Evelyn looked at him with distrust in her eyes. However the light in Prince Adley's emerald eyes shows that he was dead serious about what he just said to her.

"Fine… I'll try not to cut you"

"I see… you're not gonna deny this time that you're not the Evelyn that I know."

"I knew from the start that you never bought that sh*t up…"

Evelyn didn't finish her sentence and only thought why she did it.

'I was just trying to buy some time…'

Prince Adley just ignored her words as he cut down a knight who was gonna attack him.

"Stop blabbing and start cutting down these damn holy knights…"

"You don't need to tell me about that~"

At that moment, when Evelyn and Prince Adley have the understanding of a truce between them Elise's voice echoed in the hall.

"What's this? A kidnapper handing his kidnap victim a weapon…? Now that's new~"

Swish!

Clang!

Swoosh!

Elise was looking at the spectacular scene that she was seeing in front of her eyes.

"Now this is really interesting~ a villain helping another villain."

Slash!

Swoosh!

Clang!

The fight between the holy knights, Evelyn and the Prince started. But Evelyn and her heightened senses heard what Elise said.

It picked her interest so while evading, slashing, thrusting and killing the holy knights that were attacking her, she tried hard to hear what Elise was mumbling in amidst this loud noise.

"I knew that something was bound to change when that woman "supposedly" died earlier because I changed and helped her get killed earlier in the story. " Elise mumbled.

Evelyn was so shocked about what she heard about what she heard that she turned around to look at the direction of Elise at full speed.

"But… the second part of the story hasn't started yet…" Elise mumbled again.

This time it was Bern, Cathy and Gil who heard it loud and clear. Their eyes were wide open as they heard something unexpected. It was a revelation that they aren't prepared to know.

'What?'

'Did she just say-'

'A second part… of the story?'

Gil, Bern and Cathy were confused as to what she was talking about.

Whereas, Evelyn who continued to listen to Elise yapping, had her whole body freeze because she was far too shocked at what she just learned.

Evelyn, who stood there as her mind wandered off, didn't notice a holy knight coming close and was sneaking in with a fierce look and the sword that was pointing at her neck.

"Hey!!!!!!" Prince Adley shouted.

Swish!!!!!

Clung!!!!!

Prince Adley was preoccupied that only his sword and the enemy's sword were clashing with each other, making sparks and loud noises as a result of the intense exchange of blows.

"Hey!!!! Evelyn!!!!!"

Prince Adley called her name for the very first time without her title. It was the first time that he called her after he found out that she was just faking the "losing memories" that she reasoned out.

However, how desperately he shouts, Evelyn seems to be entranced and was drowning in her thoughts.

"Hey!!! Watch out!!!!!!!!"

Adley immediately dealt the two knights that were cornering him as he slash the one on his right side and kicked the one on the left.

He tried to run to where Evelyn is but because the knights have already surrounded him and her, and the knight who is about to attack her was in close proximity and the distance between him and her was too far, he thought that he wouldn't make it.

"Shit!"

"Die!!!"

The knight loudly roared as the long sword was up in the air and Evelyn who woke up after she buried herself in deep thoughts was immediately alarmed.

She looked up and saw the glint in the sharp edge of the sword. The shadows that was casted in her face looks like a reaper ready to take her life that was predestined to have been burned out before the story ended with the Saintess happy ending.

She didn't know why but her whole body seems to not cooperate with her.

'Move!' Evelyn thought.

Even though she was aware that her head would fly if she didn't do anything, it was like Evelyn's body was not hers anymore.

But like a miracle, as if the moment favored her, the body that froze started to respond to her. The moment that the sword was struck down, her reflexes responded and defended it with the sword that she was holding.

Prince Adley saw it heaved a relief.

"Phew~"

Evelyn kicked the knight and was pushed back. She immediately gained her momentum after she quickly regained her composure.

She looked at the knight who also gained his stance and quickly sprinted towards her, the long sword that was ready to thrust her stomach was also making its way with the other soldiers' swords.

They begin to attack her in groups.

She slashed! She thrust her sword and also defended and counter attacked. She repeatedly did those things.

When she dealt with the whole group that tried to kill her she heard running steps and when she was about to swing her sword, a hand gripped her shoulders. It was prince Adley.

"What the hell are you doing?! Do you want to die that badly?! What are you doing losing your focus in the middle of a fight?!"

Evelyn was stupefied when she saw the face that Prince Adley was making. It was a mix of anger, relief, and shock. But what she doesn't understand is why can she see a look of worries in the depths of his eyes.

'What the hell?' she thought.

Evelyn quickly took a glance behind Prince Adley and saw that barely ten knights were standing behind and protecting Elise. Of course, her three contracted spirits were among them.

"Hey! Answer me!!"

Evelyn smiled and stared at Adley who was making a ridiculous face.

"What? Are you angry because they almost got me and you almost lost your chance to kill me? Is that it?"

"What?! When did I-?!"

Then, they heard Elise shout.

"What are you doing?! Get the other knights and you! Go and kill them!"

She was talking to the knights that were protecting her, in her burst of anger, she started to kick one of the knights that was close to her side.

"I told you to kill her and that damn prince! You bunch of losers! How can you become a knight when you can't even kill those pests!"

Thud!

Thud!

"I'm sorry, your holiness!"

"I don't need your apology, you idiot!"

Then, with her irritation, Elise snatched one of the knight's swords and swung it to the knight who was on the floor, groveling on her feet.

Swish!

Slash!

Thud!

Like a fountain, red blood started to pour from the man's body. And a rhead started to roll to the corner of the hall.

The white flowy dress was stained red. Her hands were covered with splattered blood and Elise's face also had some splashed of the dead knight's blood.

"Ahhh~ now look, you just ruined my dress! I told you guys that you need to do your job right because I'll get angry"

The holy knights that were surrounding the corpse and her weren't shocked about it. Evelyn who seems to notice this already had a conclusion that it wasn't the first time that something like this happened.

'This means that she also killed people who made her angry…'

"This evil witch!"

Suddenly, Evelyn heard Adley called Elise with some alias befitting the deed that she just did.

"Now, how long should I wait before the holy knights get here?"

At her words, multiple footsteps were heard.

"Oh~ they're here now. Good! I was starting to get annoyed and was thinking of killing you all."

The holy knights who were brought as reinforcements saw the corpses of their companions lying on the white marble floors and became a pool of blood.

One of the captains in the holy knights saluted Elise.

"We apologize, your holiness, we were late."

Though the captain was saying that, he was quite shocked about how many of the elite knights of the Temple of Light were killed in that span of time.

After he leaned in to a bow to show respect, he stood up and was slapped by Elise.

Paaaak!!!!

The Captain of the knights has his head turn to the right side.

Evelyn had her brows rise up. She was quite shocked at how absurd Elise acts at ordering the knights in the Temple of Light.

'Well. there's also someone here who also sees human life as equivalent as an ant.' Evelyn thought as she glanced at prince Adley who was silently staring at Elise.

Then, Evelyn mumbled.

"Shouldn't you think about how you will get out of here?"

Prince Adley looked at her and replied.

"Well. I already thought about that… saw that window at the left?"

Evelyn glanced at the left. She also already saw it earlier. So, she immediately knew what Prince Adley was telling her when he told her about the window.

"When I tell you to run, go as fast as you can…!"

Prince Adley said that made Evelyn glance at him and at the enemy as well as her contracted spirits, Bern, Cathy and Gil.

"I see~"

"Ready?"

Evelyn slightly nodded her head then the second prince who was gripping her shoulders slowly whispered.

"Run!"
