----------------

It's been over half a year since Lorra left her kingdom and went to the Sardinia empire to visit her friend. Lorra Julius is in fact, the Third Princess of Kederawen and the adopted granddaughter of Ceaser Julius, the great magic researcher.

Lorra has shoulder-length red hair together with deep orange eyes that resembled the fire. She also wears a full silver plate armor together with a brown Skirt and red cape attached to her left shoulder.

She also always holds a double-edged rapier that has a golden guard that envelopes the sword handle like golden vines.

AN: [Go to my Discord channel and u will find her pic. I don't own any of those pics].

Lorra isn't a true member of the royal family since Ceaser who is an old member of the Royal family brought her with him when she was a little baby with him 20 years ago.

At that time, Ceaser was traveling to do some magic research and he found her in the middle of the Kanay forest, west of the Kederawen kingdom. He then took her with him and made the current ruling King of kingdom give here a Noble title and thus she became the third princess of the Kingdom.

It wasn't just that, When she reached the age of 8, her sword talent was discovered by Ceaser and he made her train with rapiers to become powerful and prove herself in the sword path.

The reason she went to the Sardinia empire is that she wanted to visit her friend, the 5th Princess, Sophia Kelhammer. Lorra met Sophia when she was 16 years old. Sophia is a fox demi-human and she was also the same age as Lorra.

At that time, The 5th princess came with her uncle, the emperor's brother on a diplomatic visit to see the king. Lorra met Sophia at one of the balls and they soon became friends.

After that, She stayed with her uncle as ambassadors for the empire. During that time Sophia and Lorra became best friends and were always seen together until she left 2 years ago.

After Sophia left the kingdom Lorra became lonely and missed her friend dearly. In fact, most members of the royal family I'm of the Kederawen kingdom didn't talk that much with Lorra and even bullied her sometimes.

The only ones who didn't do that were the King and Ceaser. She wanted to visit Sophia but Ceaser couldn't let her go since he was preoccupied with some magic research.

Finally, After a year and a half, Ceaser decided to let Lorra go visit her friend since it's been a while and he didn't go with her since he was very busy. Of course, He couldn't let Lorra go Alone.

He, in fact, sent 500 guards with her. The weakest of this guard was at the Low stage Martial commander level. The strongest was at the initial stage martial monarch level.

He also sent another 100 Mages who were all at the Earth Mage level. Even the crown prince of the kingdom didn't have this Elite force behind him. Lorra didn't care at that time and felt happy as she was very excited to her dear friend again.

They went through the Painu central lake to reach the lands of the Sardinia empire faster and then went through different Portals of different cities of the empire and reached it after month.

During this month, Lorra enjoyed the different cities and different cultures of the empire of demi-humans. After all, the Sardinia empire was an empire mostly populated by Demi-humans and was also the biggest empire in all the continent.

This also showed how big is the western continent and that even after using multiple portals, it would take at least some months to reach the other end of the continent.

After traveling, she reached the flying capital city of Sardinia empire, Arcadia city. She then reunited with princess Sophia and even met the Emperor of the Sardinia empire and other members of the royal family.

She discovered there that just like back in her kingdom, all the royal families have the scheming behind each other back and plotting against each other parts. All coveting the throne and wanting to become either King or emperor.

Lorra also visited some famous Milestones that represent the history of the capital and demi-humans in general. Lorra stayed in the capital city for 5 months living together with Sophia in the royal palace.

After that, Lorra decided to go back so she can prepare to join the best swords and magic academy in the western continent, Madoken Academy.

She and Sophia promised to meet each other on the day of the Entry exam of the academy. What she didn't know is that an unfortunate accident will happen to her.

___________________

It's been 10 days since Lorra left Arcadia city and right now they're traveling towards The Levans fortress. The Levans fortress is the military stronghold, a strongly fortified city that was built by the Sardinia empire on their side of the Painu lake.

It was built so that if any of the other 3 countries decided to invade, the would need to first take on the impregnable fortress.

Lorra together with her guards, has already passed almost all the distance thanks to the portals and they're a day away from it. The portal inside the city can only be used by the military so that no one can invade them through the portal that's why they need to travel by horse to the city and then go to the lake back to her kingdom.

Lorra: "Sigh, I'm really bored now. We had to pass through different towns and cities without staying at all and I couldn't do anything"

Lorra who was on her horse traveling together with her guards was a little annoyed as she really wanted to stay in Arcadia city and go together with Sophia to the academy but her grandfather, Ceaser didn't want that and he said that she needs to go back in less than a month that's why they're hurrying back like this.

Eric: "Princess, we need to hurry since the Ancestor told to take the shortest path possible so we can reach the capital faster"

Eric was one of the fifty Guard captains that guarded the royal palace and royal family. All guard captains needed to be at least at the peak of the Mastery stage Martial king level.

This showed how someone needs to be very talented and powerful to reach this rank. Lorra who heard that pouted and said with an annoyed face.

Lorra: "Ohhhhh, grandpa is always this protective and paranoid about my safety. I know that he does all of this for my protection but he also needs to understand that I need some freedom and enjoy the world"

Eric who heard that sighed and started thinking about what Ceaser said to him before they left the castle to go to Arcadia city.

Ceaser: "Eric, I know that Lorra wants some freedom and to go explore the world. It's partially my fault since I always told her about all the places I visited and how beautiful and awesome they are".

Eric: "Sir Ceaser, I know how much you love your granddaughter but I must tell you about the princess adoration for adventures and exploring new places. She wants to be just like you back in your younger days when you were known as the greatest adventurer who went to all the places"

Ceaser: "Sigh. I already know about that Eric but you also need to understand that after all these years, my enemies and those who want to harm me and get revenge on me all know about Lorra and that she's the pearl that I treasure. I can't have her harmed because of me. That's why I'm counting on you to protect her and get her back to here sound and safe"

Eric who heard that felt the responsibility Ceaser is giving him and he also understood that he needed to do his best to protect the Princess no matter the cost.

"...Sir Ceaser, you can count on me that I will do my best to protect the princess till my last breath no matter what".

Ceaser smiled and turned as he answered Eric's determination.

"I'm counting on you then".

-------------------------------

As Eric and Lorra were discussing in the middle of the group, some knights who are at the front noticed a demi-human with wolf ears and wearing a blue tuxedo with Orange Tie.

One of the guards who saw him started yelling at him to move away but the Demi-human didn't care a lightning sparks appeared on his right hand.

Everyone who saw that knew that something was wrong and got their swords out as they prepared to for the attack.

*Woosh woosh*

Unfortunately, His high speed that surpassed each one of them made it unable to see his attack as each one of them got electrocuted without even knowing it.

"Arrgghhhh".

The only one who was able to resist was Eric and some mages. Eric protected himself by coating himself with Mana while the Mages used mana shields to not get hit by the lightning. Lorra didn't get attacked as she looked at the people fall around her.

The demi-human Wolf was, in fact, the Magic Beast Seath in his demi-human form and he was given the mission of kidnapping Lorra from some big client.

The client somehow wants to have some leverage over Ceaser by threatening him with Lorra's safety. Eric who knew what the man wanted ordered two mages who survived the first attack.

Eric: "You two go try to stop him immediately and buy us some time"

"Yes!".

The two mages walked towards Seath and attacked him using different spells.

Mage 1: "Fire spell, Fireball".

Mage 2: "Wind spell, Wind tornado".

Mage 1 and 2: "Combined spell, Fire Tornado"

A fire tornado spell ent towards Seath directly but Seath didn't care at all as he just stood there and waited for the attack to hit him.

*Boooommmm*

Lorra, on the other hand, didn't waste time as she got her rapier out of the scabbard and she took a battle stance. Eric who is protecting her immediately told her.

Eric: "No Princess!! You need to escape. The enemy is too strong for anyone of us. I will try to buy some time with the Mages and you will use the Magic scroll to escape to the fortress".

Lorra: "No!! I won't leave you all here. If I do that then I won't be able to forgive myself"

Eric: "PRINCESS!!"

"...."

"You will hear me right now!! I and the Mages will buy you some time and you will escape now".

".... Okay"

"Good then. Go now. I will buy you the time needed to activate the magic scroll. Start now".

Lorra nodded and got the magic scroll that was in her spatial ring. Suddenly, Seath appeared in front of her as he got out of the fire tornado and took the Magic scroll from her hand.

*Wooosshhhh*

Seath: "I can't let you use that or it will be more difficult to get you"

"Princess!, No"

*Wooshhh* *Slash*

Eric who went and used his sword and slashed towards Seath head. Unfortunately, before he knew it, Eric got hit on his left waist and he knew directly towards the forest on the right side of the road.

*Boooooooommmmmmm*

"Cough.....cough.....No prin....princess".

Eric who fell into a crater and coughed a lot of blood looked at the princess one last time before he lost consciousness.

Seath: "Now, to deal with the annoying flies. Lightning claw!".

Seath swung his hand as a big claw made of lightning went towards the Mages who survived and tried to attack him.

Lorra: "Noooooo!! I implore you, please don't kill them"

Lorra pleading didn't work as Seath didn't care about her words and killed them anyway. The only one who remained was Lorra as she looked at the whole road destroyed and almost all of the knights and mages burned and electrocuted because of the lightning.

Lorra: "Arrgghhh. You evildoer, I will kill you".

*Swoosh* *Slash*

Loora used her rapier to try and attack Seath but he easily evaded the attack and then hit her in her stomach as she immediately started losing consciousness but heard Seath last few words.

Seath: "Blame yourself for being weak. If you were strong enough, none of this would've happened and The alliance would've never come after you".

Lorra: 'You bastard'.

Lorra fainted as she couldn't do anything against Seath who put her on his shoulder and started moving east towards the Adratram empire.

Seath: "Sigh, I wonder how Lyna is doing? I left without saying goodbye last time. I'm sure she's okay".
