~Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang!
With an expressionless face, Josh wasted the twitching men rolling on the ground. And his other comrades did the same as well.
3 minutes.
A little stun grenade had done the job that might have lasted them up to 30 minutes of continuous battle since they were so outnumbered.
"Fabian, search their bodies and collect any valuable information you can."
"Yes, Major General." The lanky Fabian replied, swiftly turning his attention to the fallen men.
As for Josh, of course, he was on 'Tilda-duty.'
With steady and slow steps, Josh had his weapon, though he didn't think he would need it.
The fact that Tilda was to be married to a powerful prince from a neighbouring empire meant that even if they bullied her a lot, no one would dare to stay in the chambers, even if it was to spy on her. Seeing a lady in her sleeping gown was taboo, and a man could slice another man's throat for that.
No doubt about it, they should've placed this heavy protection around her since they couldn't very well watch her while she slept.
In the daytime, they might spy on her in her room. But not at night.
Unless they were shameless, Josh felt his guess should be correct.
And wouldn't you know it, the moment he stepped into the room, even though he was attacked, he didn't fret.
.
Pang!
A wooden log shattered into many pieces after smashing into his upper back.
What?!
Her attack failed?
Tilda anxiously leaned against the wall next to the door, looking at Josh fearfully.
She looked like a cornered squirrel with raw panic in her eyes, wanting to make herself become one with the wall.
All this while, she had been hearing the frail wails and thunderous claps within the palace. The whole ordeal mortified her, leaving her scared for her life and that of her nana's.
She had so badly wanted to run and search for her nana, but she knew that the many guards wouldn't allow her.
At one point, she even thought of breaking the wooden floor beneath her and sighing a while out of here. But was she some superhuman? It would take months to make such a feat; talk less of doing it in a few hours.
Her eyes were swollen and red from crying. And during her helpless state, she curled underneath the thin sheet of cloth she called a blanket.
She didn't know how long had passed while laying there sleeplessly.
As then, out of nowhere, she heard it... The sounds of the many dropping to the ground just outside her room.
Instantly, her heart fell into her stomach, and she hastily grabbed the first thing she could think of.
However, the attack didn't work, and the intruder was now approaching her step by step.
.
"You!~~... What do you want?"
Josh looked at the shaky squirrel and sighed.
Her hands were over her face, moving up and down in defence. She had just attacked him, so wouldn't it be right for him to hit her back?
That's how Tilda thought.
She had closed her eyes for what felt like a millennium, only to take a peek and get stunned into a daze.
The intruder was on one knee before her!

"Princess Tilda, I and my men are here to rescue you."
(0_0)
... okay?
Needless to say, Tilda was short of words at the change of things.
Her eyes still bulged out like a squirrel, trying to understand and process the words she heard. But Josh knew that they didn't have time.
"Princess Tilda, please believe me. We are not your enemy. This is your only chance to flee with your grandmother. So we have to go before it's too late!"
Yes!
Tilda woke up from her stupid, thinking of how much her nana had suffered throughout the years.
She clenched her fists, trying to make a decision, though deep down, she had already had an idea of what she wanted.
Maybe this intruder was lying, or perhaps he was telling the truth... Either way, it was a fact that this was probably the only opportunity they would have to flee.
She felt that rather than marrying that demon and leaving her grandmother far away from her to face hell all by herself, it was best for them to take this chance.
No matter where this intruder was taking them, on the way, they would always have more opportunities to escape if they realized that he wasn't as good as they thought.
Some risks were worth the trouble.
Maybe they might be taken into slavery, or perhaps they might face bigger troubles; however, her gut feeling told her to go with it.
In Josh's eyes, she saw no disdain, no egoistic arrogance when facing her.
As someone who has lived in this palace cage, she has seen all sorts of people.
And maybe she was wrong about the intruder before her. However, she decided to go with her instincts.
This was their chance!
.
Tilda tried to street her fearful heart, staring at Josh's eyes intensely: "You... You say you are here to rescue me and my nana?"
"Yes."
"Then in that case. I agree. I will go with you."
"Good..." Josh replied, raising the corners of his lips. "Princess, put this on and take what you must."
"Right!"
With that, Tilda hastened dashed towards a particular corner of her room, lifting a small rectangular cut underneath the wood.
There was a very expensive box the size of a fist in there. It was the only possession of her late mother's that hadn't been confiscated or destroyed.
From there, she quickly threw on the attire Josh had given her.
She was wearing a full attire that only left her eyes out.
The attire was slightly bigger for her but should fit many 12~15-year-old girls.
Josh nodded in satisfaction, seeing how inconspicuous she looked.
"Princess, let's go!"
With that, he also opened his shield.
"Omega 02 reporting in. Target secured. Prepare for demolition!"
