Chapter 365: Leaving

Emery's heart was stirred upon hearing about the planned attack on the Lioness convoy. During his time fighting to represent the Lioness, he had grown close with the other squires and, if he didn't leave them to look for Morgana, he would be there with them.

It was also supposed to be his duty to protect that convoy. If anything bad happened to them while he was not there, it would somehow be under his conscience.

There was also the matter of the princess' safety…

His heart started beating fast as soon as he heard the news from the knight. If it were up to him, he wished he could just rush over to help, but he couldn't afford any mistake now. If Arthur found out that the wizard Merlin quickly took off to rescue the Lioness princess, more questions would be raised and from then on, his every movement would be even more scrutinized.

He needed to do it right, hence he thought for a moment for the best course of action.

First, he realizes the princess was protected by a dozen knights and the squires. There was also Yvain the knight of the Lion guarding her. Those marauders will not be able to give them trouble easily.

But, something in his heart told him that something was not right. A persistent bad feeling about the situation was gripping his mind and making him unable to think straight.

Logically, no marauders would be crazy enough to attack a fully guarded princess convoy. But, if Gawain's information was really true, then the princess was in grave danger.

Emery couldn't help but keep thinking that this event was part of some kind of planned attack. Marauders, groups of criminals with no affiliation and loyalty, had gathered together to attack despite knowing the princess was being escorted by knights and squires. This would only mean they came ready.

Thump, thump.

His heart started to beat chaotically. They definitely needed help.

With his familiarity with the Lioness to Logress path, he knows that even if the prince and Sir Gawain were fully galloping with their fastest horses, they would take at least four or five hours to reach the border.

Fortunately, with Emery's [Spatial Gate] spell, he could reach it in a matter of minutes. But, the problem was, he could only use [Spatial Gate] for himself, he couldn't bring Morgana with him.

That's the main reason for his current hesitation, he needed to decide what to do with the girl standing next to him.

He thought about just taking her halfway and hiding her somewhere in Logress territory, then continuing by himself until the border. But it would become even more troublesome if she got found by other knights.

Emery didn't want to take another chance of her meeting other knights who may or may not like fey chrutins.

No matter how he looked at it, this place was currently the safest place to leave her while he's gone.

Which led to the decision of why he agreed when The Prince told him to wait for his return.

Emery decided to calmly wait as Arthur took one of the horses used by Sir Gawain's underling knight and rode away with the knights, leaving the old magician in charge of the situation.

When the prince was far enough that Emery could no longer hear the galloping of the horses. He turned to the girl standing next to him.

Apparently, Morgana was also confused with the decision he just made.

"Why are we staying here?" she asked

"Morgana I think my friend is in trouble, I really need to go help them"

"What?! Where are you going?." replied the girl in confusion

"I promise, I will need to go for just a few hours and I will return soon. Alright?"

"No!" The girl shouted, slight worry bleeding into her expression. "Whatever you are going to do, just let me help you!"

Emery was dismayed. He promised this girl only a few minutes ago he would not leave her, and he really didn't want to. Not after he finally found her after 4 months of constant worries.

But, time was short, the situation urgent and Emery believed none of the marauders were strong enough to take much of his time, let alone touch him.

There should be nothing that could go wrong, there was even a possibility the information was wrong and he would just go back and forth quickly.

No matter how he tried to find another way, the best solution he could think of was leaving Morgana for a few hours, deal with the problem and come back as soon as possible to ensure her safety.

While he struggled with his worries, seconds were ticking away and with each moment he wasted, another life may be claimed.

With a guilty expression, Emery looked towards the girl and said.

"I am sorry, Morgana." Emery sighed and looked away. "Just wait for me. I will be back before you know it."

Morgana didn't say anything back but Emery could tell that she didn't like this plan.

Emery turned away and glared at the old magician.

"I need to go for a while, I trust you will keep her safe"

The old magician seemed to want to argue with him about leaving but seeing Emery determination he nodded

Emery let out a sigh, before leaving he said

"If anything happens to her here, I promise even if you run to the ends of this world, I will come and hunt you down."

He concentrated on the air in front of him. Darkness began to shift and crack in front of him, forming a swirling void of darkness.

Before he stepped in, he glanced at Morgana once more, as if trying to reassure her without words that he would come back for her.
