�All of the keys are here!�
�There is a key in the driver�s seat!�

The keys seemed to have been placed in easy-to-spot locations on purpose.
They couldn�t understand the enemies� intentions, but the knights grabbed the keys and unlocked the cages.

Click! Click!

The cages holding the residents from the Stan territory and the nearby area were unlocked.
The citizens cautiously exited the cages under the knights� guide.
They seemed relieved and happy once again after stepping on the ground.

Screeeech-

They heard the castle gate opening at that moment.

Everybody looked toward the open castle gate.

Taylor was in the front with administrators, healers, and priests quickly following behind him.
Taylor gave orders to the people behind him.

�Quickly put the injured on the stretchers!�

The people behind him efficiently headed toward the citizens. Taylor checked on them before moving toward Alberu.

�Your highness, please head inside first. I will take care of things here.�

Cale looked at Taylor�s face and then flinched.
Taylor did not look good. It was clearly visible that this battle had been emotionally draining.
Taylor had to stop himself from frowning as he looked at Alberu.

��His highness looks like a mess.�

Alberu looked even worse up close.
But Taylor felt that the crown prince�s appearance right now looked much more like a king than the cool appearances he gave off at the palace.

Taylor and Alberu made eye contact at that moment.

�You seem like someone who really knows what he needs to do.�

Taylor was suddenly at a loss for words.
He used the short moment he left the castle walls to gather the healers and the territory�s administrators to take care of the aftermath.
He calmed himself before starting to speak.

��Thank you very much. Your highness.�

He then peeked behind him.
There were healers coming with a stretcher. JrNovels.com
