"By this time, the young princess should had reached the other side." Sarah whispered to herself.

Queenie look over through the thick tarp covering them.

"My lady, please do not stick your head out." A Cloverian spy that blend in with the Hearthian knights whispered to Queenie.

"It is strange..." Queenie is feeling overly anxious. She could not calm her nerves and she can feel her body breaking in cold sweat.

"Hmm...?"

"Soliard should be yelling and making a riot about now. Don't you think?"

"You are right. It is too calm here. He never goes far from this camp as it is the most comfortable place for him."

Queenie then stood up.

"My Lady?! You will be seen!"

"Sarah, I think we made a mistake, Soliard must had-...." Queenie could not finish her sentence as a soldier suddenly started yelling.

"RUN! RUN! THE BARRIER SUDDENLY CAME DOWN! WE WILL ALL GONNA DIE!!"

"What?! Aren't we are too ahead from the schedule?" The Cloverian spy whispered in confusion and panic.

"Why are you saying we should run?! The barrier is down! Get ready to ATTACK!" One of the high ranking knight from Heart Country yelled.

"NO! We must all run!! The sol-soldiers near the barrier had all fallen. They are dying.... Cough cough...cough!!!"

The soldier who delivered the news fell onto the groud while coughing, with each cough, his blood is spilling.

Upon seeing this, Sarah grabbed the mask and put it over Queenie's mouth and nose.

That was the signal and the Cloverian spy, used a mirror to send the signal to his comrades to alert them that the plan is starting.

"What is wrong with you?!"

The soldiers then watched a thick black smoke slowly engulfing the forest.

"T-that is....?"

"RUN!! THIS SMOKE IS TOXIC!!!"

The Hearthian soldiers dropped their weapons and made their run.

The one who shouted last then kneeled and grabbed a mask for himself.

"That will clear the crowd even for a bit. Those Hearthian soldiers are much of a cowards. The problem is the Diamonians and the Spadians, they are build differently." The spy whispered to the two lady.

He then brace himself.

"Are you guys ready to make the run for it?"

The two women also braced themselves and run for their life.

They entered the thick black smoke. Even with the mask, the miasma still seeps into it. They have to hold their breath while they run and it is an impossible task.

"My Lady!" Sarah shouted as she saw Queenie kneeling to the ground.

"Don't stop! Cough!" The spy yelled back.

He then grabbed Queenie by the arm however the spy then fell onto the ground.

Queenie's eyes widened and as she looked at their back was a big man with black armor.

It is an Spadian knight.

He clearly looks like that the miasma is affecting him as there is a trail of blood running from his mouth to his armor.

But as the spy said, these knights are build different. They thrive to kill when they are in peril. There is no way for someone like Queenie who is greatly affected by miasma to save herself.
