Just as the Crown Prince was in shock, several footsteps suddenly sounded and approached.
Viktor looked up and saw Lia and Gwen hurrying towards him.
Behind Gwen was a hooded witcher.
He recognized the other person's identity at a glance by comparing their chests.
At this moment, Lia looked around at the group of nobles who were looking dejected, and her gaze couldn't help but turn to the elves beside her.
Upon seeing this, he frowned slightly, a sense of doubt arising in his heart:
"What exactly happened?"
The elves' weeping was no accident; she could see that some of them had suddenly fallen into agony.
Normally, a peaceful elf would never show such a pained expression.
She recalled the sudden earthquake, as if the earth had erupted in fury at that moment.
Clearly, all of this must be related to the strange behavior of the elves.
The perceptive Lia sensed that something big was about to happen.
Leah's intuition told her that something extraordinary was happening here.
But Victor did not respond to Leah; he simply stood there and calmly called out:
"Kokote".
"They're here, they're here."
A light, cheerful girl's voice came from the sky, and a fluffy, hazy white cloud slowly drifted down from mid-air.
It came to a light stop beside Viktor.
Kokot glanced with a hint of pity at the elf lying in agony on the ground not far away, and pursed his lips:
Coming to his senses, he said to Viktor:
"It seems our people have gotten themselves into some trouble... So is there anything I can do for them?"
Viktor stared ahead, as if he were watching something intently.
After hearing Kokot's words, he spoke calmly:
"Take Liya away, take her to a safe place."
Lia was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at Viktor, her tone tinged with confusion:
"Victor... what do you mean?"
"Yes, Mr. Victor, what do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing Victor say that he was going to take Liya away from here, a sense of anxiety rose in the hearts of the other nobles.
Their faces were deathly pale, and they said with extreme anxiety:
"Your sister's life is a life, and the lives of other commoners are also lives, but what about the lives of us nobles?"
"We need protection too!"
Victor ignored the protests of the surrounding nobles and calmly responded to Leah:
"Literal meaning."
Lia wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt a wave of fatigue wash over her.
It felt like all my strength had been drained.
She collapsed backward, too weak to utter a single word.
So...so sleepy...
She opened her eyes groggily, barely managing to keep her eyelids open.
As Kokot's face gradually appeared in the sky, she felt a soft cloud supporting her body.
My body felt soft, and my eyelids began to droop weakly.
Lia lay on the cloud, trying to keep her eyes open.
But in the end, Victor's black trench coat gradually became blurry in her eyes.
Victor... no...
"elder brother……"
Finally, Lia closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, the entire courtyard fell silent.
Once Leah was completely asleep, Victor turned around and looked at Gwen expressionlessly.
“Gwen, go with the Witcher and take these nobles and elves to the central square.”
This is the central district; there's no time to escape.
Even if Victor could cast a teleportation spell, the magical power required to teleport so many people would be enormous.
He must conserve his magic to prepare for the battles that may follow.
Therefore, the only option is to go to the central square of the palace.
It is a spacious area that can accommodate a large number of people.
Most importantly.
The safest place is where the emperor is.
Gwen nodded and accepted Viktor's orders seriously.
She swiftly drew her sword from her waist, brandished it towards the sky, and issued a stern command:
"Everyone, get out of here with me!"
The other witchers acted swiftly, for it was Victor's order.
They urged the nobles to leave.
If they saw a nobleman with bad legs who walked slowly, they would tirelessly go up and kick him.
The elves were more fortunate; the witchers carefully arranged for them to ride in the carriages of every nobleman who arrived.
They also helped up the wounded who were in pain.
Fortunately, the residents around the central district had already been evacuated, and it is estimated that most of them had gathered in the central square by this time.
The eldest prince stood there dumbfounded, watching Victor direct everything.
Even he could tell that the situation was urgent.
Otherwise, Viktor wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.
He only needs to use magic to bombard them.
Finally, the eldest prince watched helplessly as Victor turned around and glanced at him and his mother.
"Your Highness, please leave here with the Empress."
"You can also go to the central square to protect the others, but for now, the upcoming battles are not suitable for you to participate in."
The eldest prince opened his mouth to speak, but Claudia, who was standing next to him, nodded without hesitation, grabbed the eldest prince's arm tightly, and quickly left.
In the end, the eldest prince could only watch helplessly as Victor's figure grew farther and farther away from him.
