Barrett noticed the crowded space and the presence of the high priests. If anything were to go wrong, the
consequences would be dire.
He stepped forward to address Zane, saying, “Sir, it's best if you retreat to a safe place. Once the assassins are
captured, you can continue your prayers.
Zane shook his head. “There's no need for that. Attend to your duties. This altar is already open tonight, and |
will not leave until my prayers are complete.”
“There are assassins! It’s dangerous” Barrett insisted.
With his hands clasped in prayer, Zane replied, “The assassins are not here for me. If they harmby mistake,
then it is simply my fate.”
Seeing he couldn't persuade the Spirit Elder, Barrett turned to the few remaining guards. “Stay with them and
ensure their safety.”
With that, he drew his sword and rushed deeper into the chaos.

Eleanor arrived at the western courtyard and stood her ground. Before her were over thirty guards..
This place was the most crucial of the four entrances to the dungeon. Eleanor was certain that Carissa aimed to
rescue Carmen's mother.
If that wretched woman succeeded, so be it-Melanie Lester was already teetering on the edge of death. Even if
she escaped, she might still die.
However, the western courtyard absolutely couldn't fall.
Michael and his men arrived at the western courtyard. Finding no assassins, he stepped forward and said,
respectfully, “Grand Princess Eleanor, please return indoors and stay safe. Leave the matter of the assassins to
net
Upon seeing Michael, Eleanor’s anger flared. There's no need! You must leave immediately! My residence has
household soldiers. We don’t require your intervention.”
“The assassins are highly skilled, Your Highness. The household soldiers are no match for them.”
“Nonsense! How could my soldiers possibly be overpowered by a handful of assassins? Leave now, or | will have
you charged with trespassing!”
Inside the western cell block, Rafael had already heard the sounds of the battle outside and realized that the
assassins had breached Harmony Palace. He swung the door to the cell block open and dashed up the stairs,
throwing open the entrance to the dungeon.
“The assassins are in here!” he cried out.
Michael had been speaking to Eleanor, and he froze at the cry.
“Your Highness, | can’t ignore the safety of the noble ladies in light of the danger!” Michael said before leading
his men toward the source of the shout.
Rafael managed to open three of the four entrances, leaving only the one in the western courtyard that

led to the eastern cell block. As he flew toward it, he saw Eleanor standing there, her face ashen.
He knew this place was critical.
What lay within?
Since he was already there, he might as well enter. Rafael planned to stir things up a little. Then, he could draw
the assassins and the capital guards over there before slipping away.
He descended from the air, snatched a sword from a guard, and jumped into the fray.

To Rafael, these thirty guards had nothing more than flashy and useless moves. He quickly knocked several of
them aside. Pushing Eleanor out of his way, he stormed into the western courtyard.
“Rafael! It's you!” Eleanor cried, collapsing to the ground as she called after him, panic rising in her voice.
Rafael!”
Without any hesitation, Rafael kicked open the dungeon entrance and strode down the steps.
“Get down there and kill him! Don’t let him escape the dungeon!” Eleanor shouted frantically.
The guards stumbled into the dungeon, and Barrett rushed to the scene along with a few others. After hearing
that an assassin had entered, they hurried inside as well.
Eleanor dashed forward to block them. “You're not allowed to go in! If anyone from the Capital Guard and
Garrison Unit dare step one foot inside, | will have you killed!”
However, Barrett and the others didn’t hear her hoarse cries. They assumed she was merely angry at the
assassins and followed Rafael into the darkness
Rafael was the first to breach the dungeon. It was pitch black, but he quickly pulled out a fire starter and ignited
it with a flick. Spotting a lamp on the wall, he moved over to light it.
The dim lamp flickered to life, casting a weak glow that illuminated the expansive dungeon. Weapons and armor
were neatly arranged in an orderly fashion.
