"Princess, let's go!"
Another maid, Kamari, quickly grabbed Kaede's hand and shouted.
Kaede snapped out of her shock and hurried to her feet.
Without a second thought, she turned and ran toward the exit with Kamari.
"Damn it! Do you think you can escape, Princess?! I won't let you!"
One of the men in black robes shouted angrily. He was about to chase after them, but the soldiers immediately restrained him.
"Damn it..." the man growled. He pulled a dagger from his pocket and slashed at the soldier on his right.
The soldier easily dodged the attack. As the soldier was about to swing his katana, the man grinned and lowered his head.
The soldier froze for a split second. Before he could react, the man spun and kicked him hard in the face, sending him flying two meters away.
Another soldier quickly swung his katana at him.
But as if he had anticipated the move, the man rolled forward and dodged.
Then he got up and ran after Kaede, who had already escaped.
