Amalia moaned. Her stomach, her arm, and her face were throbbing in pain.

Elizabeth went to the Princess and knelt beside her. "Your highness...If you'll allow me I'll do what I can to help you...."

Catherine was about to chuckle when Levi screamed but then she felt...lighter on her left side. She looks down to the dying Princess and sees blood dripping including onto her dress. But the blood was coming from Catherine. Her left arm was burning making tears well up to her eyes as her head starts to explode with pain. Catherine let's put a pitiful scream as her tears drop into the face of the Princess.

She drops the dagger and slowly moves her right arm to rest on the stub. Her teeth chatter and she look to see her dislocated arm laying near the Princess. She let's out a screams and slides back landing hard on her right. She groans and tryes to stand up, but slips in a poddle of blood that has leaked from her body. This time she was close enough to reach a wall and uses it to lean on as she wraps her stub with her hood. The pain was overwhelmed making her see spots, but she still held her ground as she clutch her stub of an arm.

She turns her fiery gaze to rest on the Levi and roars, "Don't you dare think this is over! I'll be back and next time both your arms will be lost and feed to the dogs!"

Levi laughed, a crazed look in his eye. "You are a fucking piece of work, Catherine. Such a little, pitiful bitch." He grabbed his greatsword again. "If you come again, I'll be ready." Levi looked at his brother and his sister. "Until we meet again. Go to the city of jade to find me. Goodbye, siblings." He then walked out of the secret tunnels, and into the world.

Amalia whimpered again, yet ever so softly, like a piece of light wind that had strayed from its compatriots. She was slipping away, ever so quickly.

Elizabeth placed her hands on the wound and began to try to heal the princess as best she could, tears falling from her eyes. Please... She thought. Please be okay....

Lucien was not there when it happened but it was clear what had happened, Amalia had been stabbed. He rushed over to her side where Elizabeth was doing her best to help but he could see in her eyes that she understood the situation was dire. He then noticed young prince Amary, the poor boy was clearly frightened but he wasnt doing much good just standing there "Amary I know its not usual for a prince to go in a commoners area such as a kitchen but these are extraordinary circumstances. Would you be able to go in the kitchen and get a jar labeled "Caurin Salve" out of the pantry?" Lucien asked, it wasnt as good as proper medicine but it would have to do for now

Elizabeth was hiccuping now, almost hysterical, when Lucien arrived. She looked up at him. "L-Lucien..." She sniffled. She had been using her own life force to keep Princess Amalia alive, but the Princess's heart was alternating between racing and threatening to stop, and her heart skipped a beat, making Elizabeth gasp in pain, stopping her channeling. She began to sob harder. Then she began to try to draw power from the elements. Elizabeth's face was stark white with terror.

Avary nodded to Lucien. He gave Elizabeth and Amalia one last look and ran to the kitchen. He began scrambling through the cupboards until he found the jar that Lucien had instructed him to find. He grabbed it and ran back as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Thank you Avary, you're a good lad" Lucien said gently as he took the jar from him. He opened it up and rubbed the salve gently yet throughly into the wound, which quickly began to set and do its work. "This will have to do for now" Lucien said to Avary and Elizabeth "Take a break Elizabeth, if she wont make it now then she never will"

Elizabeth wiped the tears on her face, but they kept coming. "I-I told Annie t-to get t-the family to s-safety...." She hiccuped.

@Vortex@Nikki Moonlight@canaryrose
Avary was panicking. "What is that stuff supposed to do?" He asked Lucien.

@Overlord24 @Nikki Moonlight@canaryrose

"Its okay, Avary" Lucien said trying to reassure the boy "Its just a salve that will heal the wounds, not greatly but its the best I can do for now". "But perhaps its time for us to join Annie and the others, I think it would be prudent for us to sneak out".

@canaryrose@Overlord24@Vortex

Elizabeth said, "B-but Lucien...I have a debt to repay to the king..."

@Vortex@Nikki Moonlight@canaryrose
Avary gave Amalia one last look then nodded to Lucien. "Yes, it would be wise for us to go." Then turning to Elizabeth, "It won't do my father any good if you're dead. He can hold his own, getting out of the castle would be the best way to repay him now."

Levi spat in her face as if she were nothing but a bug waiting to be stepped on. She was about to hurl herself at Levi when she found the maid and a cook, it seemed, crouching over the princes. Hopefully the little bitch would die, Catherine thought with a wolf's grin. The grin quickly disappeared when she remembers her arm. She groans, griping her arm tighter and shrinks out through the wooden doors of the castle. The only thing left was her detached arm and a pool of blood near the princess.

She heaved and vomited as she was now laying down in a ditch. Would the great Catherine Lillasteen die so easily like this? "Hell no..." Catherine said with a whisper. She was losing blood fast and she was beginning to see stars. Catherine gritts her teeth and rolls on her good side. She closes her eyes and begins to welcome death but before falling into a deep sleep she hears a gruff voice that is oddly familiar. "Hello little assassin." the voice purred. Catherine soon falls into sleep not knowing the familiar voiced man picked her up and set her in a wagon. They drove past the castle leving it in there wake.

Cyrus Grove Edson, King of Woodgrove Castle

Cyrus spat on the ground and turned to Dante. With a challenging grin on his face and says smoothly. "Well as long as you don't get in my way, you may have your throat I suppose." His good sword drew to rest convertible at his side. He turned his gaze to his army were a young knight stood in the front with wildness in his eyes. "You, go inside of the castle and get my son Levi. He is needed." He pointed to the rest of the men and said. "The rest of you, come with me and don't attack Dante. Understood? Good lets get em." He turned her eyes towards the attackers that were now coming towards then in fast easy strides. How long have they been waiting to strike? How many were there? Questions began to bubble up in his head but he shook the thoughts from his head and turned his attention forwards.

@SoulEater
Dante smirked at Cyrus. "Glad you see it my way." He ran at some of the enemies and started hacking and slashing. It was a massacre by Dante, and he was laughing.

Levi walked through the armies, a cloak on his shoulders and a hood covering his face. Every now and then he'd chop somebody up, just for the fun of it. No matter what side. He didn't give a damn anymore.

Cyrus Grove Edson, King of Woodgrove Castle

@Overlord24@DriveEMOut

Cyrus rolled his eyes as Dante started destroying man after man with a smirk on his face, seemingly loving it. Cyrus had no idea how the foul was still alive with this attitude but why was he complaining? At least Dante was distracted giving Cyrus time to think about what to do with him. But Dante was the least of his worries because three knights started to surrounded Cyrus. Two slashed for his feet and one dove to his stomach. Before the three could land a blow to him he slashes his ancient sword towards them gutting them instantly. They fall to the ground with a clatter of swords and gurgle of blood. This was going to take a while, Cyrus thought and started to charge some others were Dante was going ballistic. Hopefully his children were safe.

Rais grinned. He supposed his men's reaction was justified, they were in hostile territory after all. But this was too good an opportunity to pass up. While the royals and their retainers were busy defending their precious castle, they could make off with a ton of loot, and if he was lucky maybe even come into conflict with either side and maybe pick up some new additions to his "collection." Yes, this was a dangerous, risky situation but that was what made it so much fun. "Quit your shaking ya babies! we're going to be rich after this score!" There was nothing that could've possibly made this any more enticing for him.

Rais and his men turned the next corner expecting to find their way into the castle, but instead of coming face to face with two girls one bleeding out, an older man, and a younger boy. The grin on his face threatened to tear it off. Gems, tapestry, silks, and gold was all nice and profitable but nothing was more profitable than royal hostages. "Hey there. How's are you folks?"
