THE PALACE HAS BEEN AMBUSHED .
felix's words knocked the wind out of her lungs . and the silence that followed due to fear was broken by claude , as he strode across the room to search for a weapon .
" how many men ? " he asked , breaking the shock induced trance penelope was in . felix replied without missing a beat .
" we don't know yet ― but there are a lot of them . they are all masked and wearing armour with no sigil , hence unidentified . they're currently headed towards the western wing . "
" isn't that the pathway to the crystal palace ? " penelope asked , panicked . claude turned to look at her , his face hardened .
" get out of here as soon as possible and hide in the emerald palace . I'll send felix and a unit of royal guards there , create a protection barrier around the entrance , take the warlock's help if you must . " he ordered , stepping close to touch her cheek , jeweled eyes tender in contrast to his voice .
" take care of athanasia . "
penelope didn't needed to be told twice . she clapped her hands to call for emily who looked terrified ― but was prepared for the situation , having brought penelope's crossbow with her .
" be safe , your highness . " she said to claude , who simply nodded before disappearing off to the entrance of the inner palace .
felix bowed to the empress ― wordlessly commanding him to keep the emperor safe ― before following claude in tow .
penelope sighed to herself , repressing the fear that was starting to bubble up her chest to swiftly load her crossbow .
she took the crown off her head and placed it on the table before striding out of her chambers .
" ask all the servants to leave the crystal palace as soon as possible and head towards the eastern wing , keep in mind , no one should be left here . " pace quickening , penelope headed towards the second exit behind the crystal palace .
" but your highness what about you ?! I can't leave you on your own ? " emily shrieked , following penelope regardless of the order .
