The moment Reginald arrived at the door that led to the royal treasury, relief immediately flooded him.
Artie was alive…
The red haired elf gritted her teeth, nursing a nasty cut by her side, while her friend went to work healing the wound.
When she noticed his presence, she turned and greeted him with a bow. "Grand Marshal, I was not expecting you…" she said curtly.
"Think nothing of it, the situation demanded my presence."
It was at that moment that the rest of his knights finally caught up to him, panting heavily as they tried to catch their breath.
Reginal spared them an annoyed glance before turning back to Artie. "What happened?"
"Two men ambushed us, they managed to climb up to this point without making a single noise."
"He was very skilled, it took eveything in my power to hold him back, without Yen's help it would have been a different story."
