Queen of the Knights (Black Clover)

Useless!

The terrorists had completely retreated and along with Asta who was unconscious. "They took... Asta." Noelle appeared to be in shock as she stood blankly where Asta had disappeared. "We have to save him!" She snapped out of it shouting.
"We can't, Noelle." But to her surprise, the one that spoken that had been Anderea.
"But—"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's the fact that we are unable to track them." She tries to explain, while looking down to Fuegoleon and slightly soothing his face.
"Yes, but—" Noelle understood what her Vice Captain was saying was true, but she still wanted to save Asta.
"No." This time, the one to speak up had been Nozel who was looking over to Anderea and Fuegoleon. "Right now, strengthening the royal capital's defences takes priority. There's no guarantee that those were the only enemies." This had all be explained and it was the logical cause of action. "We don't have any time or magic to spare on someone like him." However, his last statement was something completely unnecessary. "How are Fuegoleon and Leopold doing?" He walked over to ask this from Mimosa who had created a cradle from countless vines that was a spherical with a flower bud at the top and glowing lilies surrounding it. It was filled with countless flower petals that envelop Leopold.
"The best I can do with my magic is first aid!" She began to explain that her magic has a limit to it. "He needs to be taken to the medical ward for more advanced healing magic, or he'll..." the girl wasn't able to finish her sentence.
"Some captain he is. How pathetic." The words that had reached Anderea's ear and blood began to rush to her head. "The Vermillions sure aren't what they used to be. Makes me embarrassed to be a royal." As Solid was saying all this, Nebra was chuckling beside him.
"Solid, how could you say that?" Noelle couldn't believe that he would say such a thing.
"We are Magic Knights. Our existence is pointless unless we win." But it appeared that Nozel was in agreement to what his younger brother had said.
"Nozel..." which only caused his youngest to look at him in disbelief.
"That' s right! This is going to ruin the reputation of the Crimson Lion Kings..." Solid was about to continue when...
"Then what of you?" The young proudly man's head had shifted upon this question being asked, only to see Anderea shaking. "You who got caught in the trap of the enemy." Her head had turned towards him and the moment he saw her expression his entire face turned paled. "Because of your carelessness and pride you were all sent off in the far distance unable to fight. You are beneath Fuegoleon in that case." Anderea's eyes only sent chills down, not just Solid but those that looked at them since those were eyes they rare see from her.
"She's right." But all snapped out of it when Nozel spoken up, being the only one not effected by her. "Strength the defences so that there won't be further damages."
"Right." Solid answered, slightly terrified of the pair.
"They're spread around magic that blocks transmission spells, and the chain of command is in chaos. Because of that, reinforcements from outset the Noble Realm couldn't arrive. We can't let out guard down yet." This was all being shouted by Alecdora to the others.
"Sol, we're going to reinforce the area. Don't let your guard down." Charlotte was stating to her subordinate that created an earth golem that the two were standing on.
"You got it, Sis!" Sol didn't hesitate in obeying her.
"Call me 'Captain.'" However, once again she warned the woman.
"I know, Captain Sis!" But she appeared to not be completely listening.
"My goodness. Looks like we'll have to wait on dessert a little while longer." Hamon was stating with a large smile, so it was hard to tell if he was disappointed or not.
"Klaus, go to headquarters and get reinforcements." Alecdora began to order the young knight with glasses.
"Yes, sir." Who had created his chariot before leaving. The rest of the magic knights began leaving as well, in order to reinforce the kingdom's defences. Soon a group of Knights from the medical ward and took both the Vermilion siblings with Mimosa. This left Anderea standing alone, looking down at the ground where Fuegoleon's blood lingered. She was deep in thought about what had happened. Even though she had told Solid that he and the others were useless after being caught and were sent away... She didn't have any room to talk as she had been here but unable to do anything.
"Completely useless..."
