Then immediately a sound came out of the screen.

“His Highness Prince! Her Highness Princess!”

“Where are you all?”

They were really looking for us.

An earnest cry reached my ears vividly as if I was hearing it right in front of me.

“…… They’re looking for us, I think they killed all the assassins. Can we go out now?”

Cedric muttered blankly.

But Abish shook his head.

“But, just in case, you should check it out. always.”

That was correct.

Soon, the screen automatically changed, illuminating every corner of the kindergarten.

An empty space appeared and disappeared several times.

All we saw was nothing but assassins lying in one place, either knocked down or apprehended.

Abish has reduced the picture quality to protect our mental health.

So the details were not seen.

But I could see it vaguely.

Some of those who fell seemed to have died or lost their consciousness.

Those who were seated in captivity suffered injuries, but appeared to be in good shape.

The masks they were wearing were ripped off and scattered around.

‘The knights must have won!’

The screen turned a little sideways.

Then, there were knights standing by and guarding the assassins so that they would not run away.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

But I was happy for a while.

I saw someone in a knight’s uniform lying down, wounded.

‘Hey, that knight!’

Our eyes widened.

The fallen knight was none other than the knight commander who commanded the kindergarten guards.

Did he get hurt while fighting ahead of the other knights?

Unlike the usual blunt knights, he was someone who greeted us warmly, so seeing him hurt like that made the nape of my neck feel cold.

Fortunately, there were people who gave first aid by his side.

We stared at the screen for a moment and remained silent.

Abish coughed loudly a few times before turning the screen away.

What was reflected on the screen was the front view of the kindergarten door.

It was still raining.

I saw several royal carriages arriving.

As soon as they saw the carriage, Ninaina and Nicholas shouted at the same time.

“…… That carriage!”

“Mother, Father is here!”

It looked like it was a carriage of the emperor and empress. It was clear that they had come in a hurry after hearing the news.

Nearly 50 knights surrounded and escorted the Emperor and Empress from the carriage.

‘I think the assassin attack just happened, so they have no choice but to be more thorough.’

High-ranking wizards hired by the Imperial Palace were also standing there, guarding the spot.

Afterwards, the two had a conversation with the knight who reported the situation. Then their complexion turned pale.

It was understandable.

What shocking news that the young children have disappeared.

“… … I’m sorry. Your Majesty. His Highness Prince Nicholas, Her Highness Princess Ninaina. And the rest of the Ladies and Lords are all missing. A total of eight intruders, two of whom committed suicide, two killed and the rest captured.”

“…… !”

As soon as the knight finished speaking, the Emperor staggered as if he was about to collapse.

Fortunately, the Empress and the knights, who were standing next to him, supported him.

And we thought at the same time.

We have to leave now.

Abish also said, pushing our backs with a small body.

“Okay, I think you can go out now. Everyone seems to be concerned. Then I will get going…….”

Abish suddenly disappeared.

The last thing we saw on the screen just before it disappeared was a scene where an aide who had been in touch with someone through a magic communication device was delighted and conveyed the words to the Emperor.

“Come on, let’s go!”

We jumped up from our seats.

But contrary to the cry, I couldn’t run right away.

It was probably because I had been sitting on the cold stone floor and my body had stiffened.

Except for Cedric, who has been training his body regularly.

‘I have a cramp in my leg!’

I frowned.

As soon as I stood up, I felt a stabbing sensation in my leg muscles, as if electricity was passing through.

The other children had similar faces.

Cedric looked at us with a slightly pathetic expression.

An expression that seems to say, ‘No, how can your legs hurt just from sitting like this?. These weak bones.’

‘Are knights and ordinary people the same?’

I rubbed my legs, holding back the urge to protest.

The children around me also looked at me and massaged their legs with their small hands.

Then Cedric said.

“Everyone, get up and sit down five times. Then you will be fine.”

“…….”

We silently followed the order. Then it really got better.

“Come on, let’s go out now!”

We quickly gathered around and opened the door.

As soon as it opened, we were ready to run.

And as soon as we opened the door, we saw…….

“His Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Empress!”
