The double doors connecting to the royal palace suddenly flung opened from both sides with a loud thud as a young knight drench in sweat came frantically running in.

"Y-Your majesty there is an emergency!"

The young knight screamed, gathering the attention of all those still within the room.

"Hm, did something happen? Speak!"

The king ordered, furrowing his brow. He didn't understand what had happened on the outside during these past hours as he had been too engrossed into Mona's training.

"I-It's the kingdom of Zestril; they are currently attacking the capital as we speak!"

The young knight explained, in a hoarse voice. However, upon hearing that the king's expression changes abruptly,

"What did you just say?!"

He roared.

Without even thinking twice the knights all ran onto the balcony on the training room and gazed off into the distance where black smoke was visibly rising into the air while the damage buildings down below were being attack by beasts and monsters!

"Th-This... How could this be possible?!"

"Th-The defensive barrier has been destroyed!"

"Th-That shouldn't be possible! The defensive barrier is the most powerful defensive type artifacts."

"Are you blind? They are attacking the capital so they must have bypassed the barrier!"

"How did the knights from Zestril arrived here so fast?!"

"Even if they had flying mounts, it should still have taken them sometime to get here!"

"... Did our plan got leaked through some inexplicable means?"

As they watch helplessly as the city was being attacked by summoning beasts, they all murmured among themselves, their eyes widening in disbelief.

However, the king clenched his fist as his anger surge forth! He was furious to say the least! "Unforgivable! Those bastards!"

He bellowed. He swore he will never forgive the Zestril kingdom for this.

As a ruler of a country, he had his dignity as king to protect his subjects but now, someone dared to not only try and harm his family but also targeted his home as well. A blazing fury burnt intensely within his eyes as he clenched his teeth.

"Th-This is awful..."

Princess Adrianna looked at the miserable state of the capital from the balcony of the royal palace with a pained expression on her beautiful face. As a princess she naturally loved her kingdom along with its people, seeing them suffering like this caused her heart to ache badly.

"Why is this happening! What are the royal knights doing?" Matthew, the strongest knight of the Alberta kingdom asked, with furrowed brow.

"... They were wiped out... Unfortunately, many of our strongest knights were already stationed at the grassland on the outskirts of the forest. With their absence we couldn't dispatch many personnel to fend them off."

The young knight explained.

A heavy silence fell over the room once the knights gave his explanation. The king and Matthew both had stern expressions on their faces as they thought about the abnormalities of the situation.

(How did they get here so fast? And even if they came here sooner than expected, they would have to confront the knights that were stationed at the border of the forest... Don't tell me something had happened to those knights?)
