On the ground lay bundles of arrows and several crossbows. There were also rows of knives and swords, along
with a selection of bows. A few large barrels were stacked in one corner.
As Rafael approached, the pungent scent of gunpowder wafted toward him. The barrels were sealed tight and
covered with several layers of material. Yet, the unmistakable smell of gunpowder lingered in the air.
The area where the barrels sat wasn’t illuminated. The only source of light was at the entrance to the dungeon.
Rafael turned around just as Eleanor’s household soldiers arrived. Their eyes widened in shock at the flickering
light illuminating the dungeon. Many stood frozen, momentarily forgetting to confront the
assassins.
Rafael stepped forward with his sword drawn, taking down several household soldiers in quick succession. It was
then that he spotted Barrett entering with a handful of capital guards.
Barrett barely had tto take in the scene before he charged toward the so-called assassin, weapon raised.
Rafael exchanged a few blows with Barrett, who was momentarily distracted when they locked eyes with each
other in the dim light. Seizing the opportunity, Rafael darted up the stairs, ascending three steps at a tand

Barrett paused, taking in the surroundings wide-eyed, his heart pounding with shock. He took a deep breath and
exchanged glances with the other capital guards.
“Find Lord Brown!” he exclaimed, shaking off his astonishment. “Lord Lewis, the Garrison Unit's chief, is here too.
Locate them, quickly!”
The dungeon door slammed shut behind him.
Eleanor descended, her gown trailing behind her, a sword clutched in her hand. She raised it, pointing it at the
capital guard attempting to rush out to find Michael.
In a cold and commanding voice, she declared, “No one is allowed to leave.”
The capital guards stepped back, looking apprehensive.
“Kill them,” Eleanor coldly ordered her household soldiers as she walked further into the dungeon.
Only five capital guards, including Barrett, faced nearly thirty household soldiers. While these soldiers had
proven ineffective against Rafael, they were more than capable of handling Barrett and the four other capital
guards.
The household soldiers raised their weapons, aiming at Barrett and his men. However, many in the room had
never encountered anything like what lay within the dungeon. Such items were strictly forbidden for any
residence to possess privately, and doing so would be tantamount to treason.
The household soldiers felt fear-not just of this being exposed, but also of Eleanor’s potential to silence them
permanently once this was over.
As Barrett saw the dungeon door close, he realized Michael might not find the entrance in teven if the latter
stormed the western courtyard. They could all very well die here.

That man in black had to be Rafael. He had exposed the secrets in Harmony Palace. How dare he run off and
leave them to face the consequences?
Anger boiled within Barrett.
“Go! Kill them!” Eleanor shouted, her voice laced with fury. “What are you waiting for? If they live, you will all
die! This is a crpunishable by death and confiscation of your family’s properties!”
The household soldiers let out battle cries, weapons raised as they advanced.
Barrett knew he and the four capital guards with him weren't particularly skilled. He took the lead, swinging his
blade with a loud clash as it met another weapon, sending a shockwave through his hands.

Knowing several of his opponents were tough, he took a deep breath. If he wasn’t careful, this could be the end
of him.
“It’s useless!” he shouted amidst the chaos. “The capital and garrison guards are here. They'll be here any
moment. You're unaware of the danger you're in! Don’t cause your own demise!”
“Kill Barrett first!” Eleanor barked, gripping her sword tightly.

She held the sword with incredibly steady hands. At this moment, too aware that fear was pointless. She had
always been ruthless, and even death held no terror for her. She wouldn't give in until the very last moment.
Only one thought consumed her-if she survived this night, she would stop at nothing to kill Rafael and
Carissa.
Barrett was being besieged, and the other capital guards were already wounded. Though he fought valiantly and
injured three household soldiers, the remainder focused solely on him.
A sense of foreboding crept over Barrett-he might die here today.
Yet, this fear ignited a fierce courage within him. Recent troubles at hhad driven him to hone his martial arts

He fought like a lone wolf, tapping into his most ferocious and valiant aspects.
