The Five: The Fight for the Imperial Throne
Chapter 4: The Sudden Assault

"Yes, let's go." Duchess Broglie said to the waiter.

"Dad..." The sound of horses running at moderate speed.

"Mrs, are you sure about this? I'm afraid something will happen to you, ma'am. Moreover, you go at night, I heard that when night falls, the forest in Duke Verita region is very scary and scary. And he says there's been a lot of murder, I'm so scared, ma'am." Said a maid who went with Duchess Broglie.

"What are you afraid of, Anne? I'm the 20th Integrity Knight and the fastest of the others, there's nothing you need..." Said Duchess Broglie who suddenly stopped, because her horse carriage stopped suddenly.

Hiikk.

"What's wrong? Why are we stopping?" Duchess Broglie asked the coachman.

"Madamya there are two people blocking the road in de... Huk... Uhuk.." Said the coachman who was directly stabbed by the two people.

"Sir? What's up ahead? Sir?" The female servant who started to panic knocked on the window glass behind her seat bench on the horse carriage.

"Madam, the coachman didn't answer my call." Said the waiter.

"Hmm. that's it. Let's go downstairs and see what happens." Said Duchess Broglie, who wanted to get off her horse-drawn carriage but was held back by her servant.

"But Madam how about..." The servant's words were instantly cut by Duchess Broglie.

"Have come down there's nothing to be afraid of here, we have a lot of soldiers escorting us." Duchess Broglie said as she got off her carriage.

"What's this about? Whoareyou? why are you blocking my horse carriage?" Duchess Broglie asked as she shouted at some people dressed in all black and wearing the mask.

"Mrs what are you doing here? It's very dangerous here, you'd better wait for the train." Said a soldier as he carried the Duchess back into his carriage.

"Ian Kasela Everest! How dare you block this master of yours." Duchess Broglie snapped at the Deputy Commander of her squad who told her to wait in the carriage.

"I'm sorry, Madam. Not that I don't mean it that way, Madam.I just went through the task ordered by Mr. Duke to take care of and escort you, Madam." Said the Deputy Commander who was still blocking Duchess Broglie's path.

"I don't care. Move aside! Let me through!" Said Duchess Broglie while yelling at her Deputy Commander.

"But, Mistress..." Said another soldier worriedly.

"I said step aside! Didn't you hear what I said!" Duchess Broglie is getting upset.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you all step aside." Vice Commander Ian said to his subordinates.

"But Commander..." Said one of the other soldiers.

"It's okay, you guys just step aside. Let me take care of your mistress try to stop those people." Said the soldier to his other soldiers.

"Good Vice Commander." Speak to the other soldiers simultaneously.

Meanwhile near the old tree two people were talking about something.

"Sister, are you sure we should get rid of Duchess Broglie and her subordinates? Isn't Duchess Broglie the sister's employer? How about we catch them all, isn't that better?" Ask someone who wears clothes and masks that are all black so that only his eyes look.

"Right, she's Duchess Broglie, my employer. But Princess Elly ordered us to finish them off after we got all the information about Princess Lea and her army, not capture them all, Ayla." Lily said to her sister.

"Have I said we should arrest them all, do you still not understand, Ayla?" Ask her sister annoyed.

"Yes, all right, sister, Ayla was wrong. Ayla's sorry." His sister said regretfully.

"Here you go, you better do your job." Lily said to her sister while holding her head.

"Good, Brother." Said his sister with a smile.

"You guys over there starting the attack right now, Ayla and the others coming with me, we're going to do a direct hit on Duchess Broglie and the troops protecting her." Lily said to her sister and her army.

"Good." Say them all at the same time.

After that there was a fight between the Sky Night troops belonging to Duke Broglie's family and the Knight troops who were dressed all in black, the one assigned by Princess Elly to kill the entire Sky Night army along with Duchess Broglie and her other followers. In the fight, many casualties were falling both from the Sky Night Squad and from the all-black army led by the Chief Servant of the Duke Broglie Family, Lilian York/Lily.

"Helena Montana De Broglie, give up everything you know or I'll kill all your subordinates!" Lily said threateningly with her voice that was tightened to sound like a grown man's voice.

"Bad! How dare you mention the name of Madame Duchess with your dirty mouth! I'll make sure your parents won't recognize you again once you're up against the Integrity team!" Sky Night Vice Commander Ian Everest said, while protecting Duchess Broglie and pointing her Sky Night sword at Lily in disguise.

"Enough, Mr. Everest. Don't let the good name of the Sky Night army be tarnished with a small matter like this!" Mrs Duchess's words commemorate the Commander of her troops.

"But Madam..." The Deputy Commander was worried.

"You don't have to worry so, Mr. Everest. You just need to protect me from behind, when something unwanted happens you can kill them all, I believe in your incredible ability!" Duchess Broglie cheered her Commanding Officer.

"Good, Mistress. I will do my best to protect Madam." The Deputy Commander was pleased to have the support of Duchess Broglie.

"Pffts... Haha... Waw... Duchess, are you telling them to kill me and my friends? Turns out you're so naive as to believe in their sword skills, huh?" Said Lily while insulting Duchess Broglie and her Sky Night Squad.

"So your words, how dare you insult the Duke's family and his army!!!" The Deputy Commander was angry.

"Enough with the bullshit!! Like you have something you want to talk to me about, say." Duchess Broglie said to the man wearing the black outfit and cover.

"All right, but can you get rid of him first? I don't want anyone else to hear about our conversation." Lily told Duchess Broglie.

"Don't mind him, just talk here!" Duchess Broglie said to the man.

"All right, I'll get to the point. I ask you to hand over all the information about Princess Lea and her troops, if you comply with this request then all of you will be free including your own Duchess Broglie, but otherwise, I can't guarantee you all freedom." Said Lily who again threatened Duchess Broglie with her troops with a threat other than before.

"Hmm. It seems like she was a spy sent by Princess Elly to find out about the matters concerning Princess Lea, I have to be careful with her. Don't let 'it' be heard by Princess Elly." Duchess Broglie said in her heart.

"I don't know what you mean. 'Information about Princess Lea and her troops?' I don't know about it at all." Duchess Broglie said.

"Don't lie, Duchess!" Snapping Lily on Duchess Broglie.

"How dare you yell at the Duchess, I won't spare you!" The Deputy Commander was angry.

"Vice Commander is enough, let me handle it. I told you I don't know anything about it. I swear on the name of Goddess Stacia." Duchess Broglie said sternly while obstructing the Deputy Commander who had almost lost control of her due to unstoppable emotions.

"Well, if you say that, then I have no choice, Duchess Broglie." Say Lily while chanting System Call.
