[Outside Estel's castle]

[Shortly before the silver barrier disappear]

[Ex- Adventure Guild Master, Ram point of view]

A fallen noble like me, becoming the adventure guild master after getting my status forcibly removed by my family, just because I was deeply in love with my current wife, Gizzere.

She is after all 15 years older than I am, and a commoner, something which will surely cause a stir in my family, and indeed it happen, but nonetheless, I knew it all along, as my romance was just an excuse, an excuse to kick me out from this status of mine

King Estel, a splendid king, however, it pains for me to say it, he tend to act a little bit too late most of the time. Of course, carefully analyzing each and every opinions is a good thing for any leader, in fact, I'll say it is one of the prerequisite to be throne as a king, but there are times when a swift action is indeed needed, which is why, as soon to be head of the family, I'll always support him when those occasions presented as a dilemma to his highness

With each successful intervention (that could spell disaster for Estel should prompt action was not taken from my side), King Estel grew to trust me more and more each coming that, but the same couldn't be said for his three wives, which ended up scheming behind our back, and before you know it

"She is strong..." [Ray]

"Indeed" [Kadeus]

Mahsuri, easily break the silver barrier that prevents us all from entering. Even the fake doppelganger that was created the moment she touched the barrier easily get destroy by her almighty power. 

"I wonder... If she just act from the beginning itself, thing wouldn't escalate to this scale" [Swordman adventure]

That might be the case, but I disagree. This is, likr what the old elven hero said, a trial for us, a demo to say when the day of the fallen god awakening greet us all

"But because of that, we get to see the leadership of a good noble like guild master himself!" [Hunter adventure]

"Ex-noble" [Ram]

"With this, we can finally rush inside the castle and save them all!" [Spearman adventure]

"The rude captain, as Ash rightly call, is useless after all" [Axeman adventure]

Even though it pain me to say it, that little brother of mine really is useless... Since there was no one else that can successfully fulfill my role after my status was removed, he was forced to fill in the spot, and things, as expected, ended up going downhill for him from there on. 

The head captain of the knight of Estel, basically the highest command for the military of Estel, even overriding the Minister of Defense should situation demand it, I can see why they let him, an incompetent person for the very important post. They just wanted the total control of the military, especially the first prince. 

(The court magician is a bit different...) [Ram]

But at the end of the day, they also fail not to let the first prince from ruining their organisation. 

As hopeful as I am to the current situation... I can tell, King Estel will most likely be...

"Is there something wrong, Guild Master?" [Syah]

"You are concentrating like there is no tomorrow" [Borg]

"That might be the case... No... Whatever happen, we need to rebuild this country as soon as this crisis is solve!" [Ram]

"That is a bit... But I agree" [Lin]

"We can't just leave everything to Princess Diana! We as her proudful companion should also do something!" [Mimi]

"Calling Princess Diana your companion is a bit..." [Lily]

"True... But I get this feeling she will be more that happy to hear us saying that" [Female elf adventure]

Looks like my wife and I will have our shoulder of responsibility lightened with them on our side. I'm sure whether King Estel survive or not, he would have some sort of plan left behind, at least, his daughter Princess Diana is currently alive. That's a good news

(No! Stop thinking negatively! Whatever happen, I hope for the best...) [Ram]

Just why am I thinking about his death... Could it really be....

"The barrier!" [Bladel]

From my phone, The Captain of Valkyrie shouted loudly. Indeed. The silver barrier that surrounds the castle started to disappear. As it started to disappear from the very top, the pegasi which carries the Valkyrie, spare no time to enter the castle. Seeing as how one by one, their number dwindle as they make their way into the castle, all of us let out a fierceful shout, that encourages each other. 

Soon

"THIS IS OUR CHANCE! ALL OF YOU! CHARGE!" [Ram]

"RIGHT!!!" 

"FOLLOW THE GUILD MASTER!"

"For the sake of Estel!"

"We will save his highness King Estel!"

"Don't forget about the other as well!" [Ram]

"OF COURSE!" 

(I just hope they are safe... King Estel. Fourth Prince Zaidi...) [Ray]

As we enter the castle, countless dead bodies of the fake doppelgangers greet us all. A horrible side, enough to deter some of us from moving forward. Indeed. A horrible sight, worth mentioning twice. The stench, the sight of countless look alike bodies, which further dampening the spirit

(Even him huh... Guess I still feel some connection for my little brother... but...) "What are you standing there for! MOVE! Start searching for any survivor! Even one survivor will surely be good enough!" [Ram]

"R... RIGHT!" 

"Follow the plan! Start splitting up!" [Syah]

"Those that will go underground, follow my lead!" [Dward adventure]

"The Valkyrie there! Keep watching from above and notify us should anything happen!" [Ram]

"I will, believe in me Guild Master Ram!" [Valkyrie C]

As we started to move according to plan, our number started to thin out. The kitchen, the maid and butler's quarters. The training ground. The library, even the royal bedroom, we spare no place unturned, until

"That is!" [Ray]

"The first prince... Is he..." [Ram]

"Indeed. We are no longer control by him" [Unknown male]

"You guys!" [Samurai Jacks]

"Does that mean!" [Vampire guard A]

One of the vampire guard of Princess Diana, along with few Valkyries arrive at the scene

"Indeed. It is all over, dear citizen of Estel" [Unknown lady]

"Right..." [Ram]

Who are those two... No... More importantly

"Then start maximizing our effort to search for any survivor! Look for King Estel! We need each and every ounce of energy needed to rebuild Estel!" [Ram]

P/s sorry for not updating much. Covid situation in my country getting out of hand, making my shift at hospital go haywire
