Chapter 91: The Horrors Continue
Irene escaped Agnes who was forced to attend to other duties considering the sudden rush of injured knights.
After the girl convinced the teenager that she would be alright on her own, she took advantage of having no one beside her and sprinted towards the upper levels of the Duke’s Tower where her father was taken to a guest room in the Duke’s Wing. He was given a comfortable room considering his value to the knighthood.
Considering the amount of people that were having to try and work on him to get him stable, it was no wonder he needed such a large room. The situation was far more severe than when Irene was injured last year despite how unusual her injury was. She hadn’t bled the way she saw that her father was, nor did it require multiple mages.
It seemed it was finally time to learn what it was like when hell on earth settled over the knighthood—the true reason for her parents’ hesitance in her pursuing this life in the first place. Monsters were called that for a reason.
As the girl made it to the second floor, it was easy to tell where everyone was. There were shouts as mages bickered and a few knights argued over various things that had very little to do with the situation at hand.
Everyone tried to point fingers but there was no one to blame. Arthur made the decision. He knew the risks of everything he did.
The knights who were doing nothing to help were shoved into the hallway by Stanley who was having none of their interruption.
However, Irene ran past the knights, not caring what they did or if they even looked at her. She was insistent on being at her father’s side.
The door very nearly slammed in her face but the girl shoved her boot into the opening before it could come completely shut.
