Chapter 134 (1/2)

Sven watched the other soldiers running around busily, but he planted himself firmly to the ground. Right now, his only mission was to bring the queen to safety.

“I will obey with my life, Your Majesty.”

Kasser turned his body, crouched a little, and kicked high off the ground. As he soared higher into the sky, blue Praz wrapped around his body.

“Long live the king!”

The people shouted watching the king fly further and further away in the direction of the red flares. The hopes of the king saving them from this horror had quickly driven out the fear that they had just been shrouded in. The heavy weighted atmosphere became lighter in moments.

Eugene blinked rapidly as if it would calm her taut nerves. In reality, she was very very frightened. Back on earth, although life was difficult, it was still very peaceful. Wars were just tall-tales of long ago, but never did she imagine a reality with rioting monsters.

It was said that Larks do not harm an Anika. However, when facing them directly, no one knew what could actually happen. In honest and sincere greed, she wanted to hang on to Kasser and ask him to take her to a safe place.

You did a good thing.

She was proud of herself. She was proud that she did not beg him. She almost gave herself a pat on the back when…

“My queen.”

At the sound of someone calling her, she turned her head. The horse that the king had ordered to be brought over earlier on had almost arrived. Sven took the reins from the soldier who brought the horse, turned his head toward the queen, and bowed his head.

“Please mount the horse, my queen.”

Eugene looked at the soldier who had spoken to her and then lifted her eyes.

The new white horse was uniquely intriguing to the eye. She turned her head from side to side to look around her surroundings. With relentless momentum, the soldiers made sure that no one could approach the queen’s perimeter.

After the king had left towards the flare, the agitation had quelled to an extent. There was still some crying here and there, particularly children. She couldn’t leave with how things were.

“Sir, Sven.” She called out tentatively.

“My queen.”

“I was told that in case of a red flare emergency to evacuate to the underground shelter.”

When erecting a structure adjacent to the street, an underground shelter was the first to be constructed. In cases of emergencies that called for an evacuation, whether someone was coming towards or away from the street, they would have to seek the nearest underground shelter.

By law, the building owners could not reject any person. Even so, a lot of big buildings were firmly shut right now.

“There is a limit to how many people each underground shelter can accommodate. An official will soon arrive to help organize this.”

The shelters were not all of the same sizes. The larger buildings, of course, seemed to have larger space and a more solid foundation. Without a second thought, people would definitely try to evacuate to the larger shelters.

However, today there were more people than usual. Large crowds gathered in hopes to see the royal couple with their own eyes. The building owners had closed the doors to avoid the annoyance of the throng.

Doors to shelters were closed, and many people couldn’t make it to another shelter because they didn’t know which shelter was safe. There was a high probability that the people would run into danger whilst looking around for a safe place to hide.

Eugene embraced and comforted a crying child in her arms as she turned her head towards the mother and frowned.

“Sir Sven, open up all the shelters immediately and get the children to safety first.”
