Lelia let out a small gasp.

When she turned around, she saw Emperor Perseus moan piteously.

"El... Elizabeth..."

Then...

Knock Knock

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

There was a knock on the door of the cabin and someone's voice could be heard from outside.

Lelia bit down on her lip.

Emperor Perseus fell asleep again in a haze.

"Your Majesty, may I come in?"

Again a voice came from outside the door.

[80%]

[I don't have time.]

Lelia held the medicine bottle in her hand.

"I'm coming in, Your Majesty."

Squeak

The moment the door opened.

Whoosh!

When the door opened, she sprayed a magic potion at the knight's face.

The knight did not see Lelia, instead he fell asleep.

[What should I do...?]

Of all things.. why would they...

The knight collapsed just inside the front door. If she wanted close the front door, she had to move that heavy knight before she could close the door again.

[87%]

"Hurry up... Hurry up!"

Lelia waited impatiently for the gauge to rise. Her eyes were fixed outside the open front door.

"What's all that noise?"

There seemed to be a lot of noise going on outside.

"I think there's more people coming!"

She stuck her head out the front door and saw some lights in the distance. The emperor's attendants and several knights were on their way with lanterns.

[95%]

Lelia had no choice but to hurry out of the hut.

[Why did Emperor Perseus have to be here today...?!]

Her heart was filled with resentment towards him.

Lelia hastened to the northeast gate where Kalix awaited her. Her lungs were burning from fear and her desperate run.

"You are already here? Did you succeed?"

He gave a big wave of his hand in the distance. Lelia glanced nervously behind her.

Kalix was trying on the knight's armor that he had just knocked out. He seemed to have failed in his attempt to wear it.

Lelia caught him by the arm and breathed.

"No, quickly... escape... Haaa..."

"Why? You didn't find the thing?"

"No, we will be chased soon. Hurry up, run away! Hurry up!"

It will be a disaster once they see the emperor and his knight lying unconscious. As Lelia said, a loud voice seemed to come from above.

"For the time being."

"What?"

"You said you had to go fast."

Lelia screamed silently at Kalix's subsequent actions.
