Leon landed lightly on the courtyard with Evie carefully held in his arms. A group of the imperial army who were already stationed and ready on the ground came at them at the instant they landed, and Leon was forced to fight their way out. He had to exert more care and caution so as to ensure that while fighting, he was also protecting Evie from getting injured.
Their situation was getting more and more impossible since Leon could not even fight to his best capabilities not only because he had her in his arms, but he was also safeguarding her. He had to honour the order given by his prince to protect her from all harm.
"Damn!" Leon cursed as he paused, pointing his sword towards the vampires who were surrounding them. They need to escape, or it was truly over for them. They must leave the walls before the soldiers blocked all possible escape routes. That was right, they still have a chance. They must reach the walls before the emperor's words reach the soldier's ears.
