"Chase after them, they can't break through the isolation array so easy!".

The leading pirate saw two of the bodyguards flying in different directions, and random patterns and he ordered some of his subordinates to follow them.

"Where the hell do you think are you going".

"Humph, stay here for this senior!".

All the pirates were blocked by the bodyguards, so that they couldn't chase after their companions.

"Damn it, Mist Horrors get rid of these pests!", the leading pirate saw his subordinates being blocked and he tried to order the Mist Horrors to kill all the early-stage Mortal bodyguards.

"Your opponent is me you fucking monsters".

"Booom!".

A line of fire blocked the path in front of the Mist Horrors, and before the things could react, Spencer had hit them all with his spear sending them flying.

"Don't let them go after the others, I'll hold those things".

After giving one last order, Spencer flew away, not without sending a mana transmission right to the ears of his young miss.

'Princess, if the situation demands it, don't hesitate and use "that" … you can't die in this place no matter what'.

'Don't say that uncle, sister will come you just need to resist until then, then these pirates will pay for this'.

Spencer inwardly sighed at the positiveness of the princess, but didn't say anything else.

Inside of the barrier, the nobles all had dead serious expressions on their faces, the princess included.

"That bastard from the Blackfin family, if I make it out of this alive, I will skin him alive", Sergio Rizar, spat on the ground disgusted by the fact that they were betrayed by someone from the founding noble houses, the same that act as the pillars of the kingdom.

And on top of that, it was someone from the Blackfin family, the ones in charge of the prisons in all the kingdom.

"His majesty must get a word of this, if the young master of the Blackfin family is this much of a coward, then they aren't worthy of holding the seat of the Minister of Security", added Tyron Damar.

Aida looked at Mellie and then asked what was in her mind.

"Princess, pardon my rudeness, but as a royal per association you should have a lifesaving talisman, I know it because my mother in her youth happened to be in the caravan with her majesty the queen and she used it".

Mellie grabbed a pendant she had hanging on her neck and caressed it with her hands, before saying.

"I'm sorry I don't have that, according to the rules of the kingdom, besides the royal prince and princesses, I other words the direct descendants of the king, all the others can only have one lifesaving talisman at the time… and I can't use mine".

Aida and the other nobles looked at the troubled princess and they knew she must have a good reason to it, after all if she was able to use her lifesaving talisman all this situation wouldn't have even started from the very beginning.

"Not having a Half Stellar rank in the family is surely a pain in the ass", said Tyron, all the second-grade families had at most late peak stage Mortal experts guarding the fort.

Originally, besides the royals and the founding families, only the old noble faction had Half Stellar rank experts in their files, but that changed when the neo noble faction raised, tired of being treated like seconds, low ranked nobles and even commoners became battle maniacs putting their lives on the line until they either died or broke through.

The result was the formation of a faction strong enough to be on par with the old noble faction and the founding families, something unseen before, of course they legitimated themselves by joining the army and contributing to the kingdom, gaining merits until they got noble titles from the royal family.

The current king saw their potential and allowed them to grow, because they didn't pursue political power, they just wanted to be stronger… and of course rub their achievements on the faces of the old nobles.

The latter thought made everyone remember there was another party here, one that hasn't shown any worries nor said anything about it.

The princess turned to see Aisha and the Risha sisters, which were all calmly waiting besides the ice dome that contained Daimon.

"We need all the help possible; can you call the senior that is watching over you?", she asked with a slight tinge of urgency in her voice.

The Risha sisters stared at each other not sure about how to answer, the only one from their group that could face those things outside the barrier was that strange guy, Horals.

"The only one that has that authority is our companion, so you'll have to wait for him to come outside,", Aisha was in charge and unlike these sheltered nobles that were experiencing a life and death situation for the first time, she as a former Archmage knew that the best way to keep your head attached to your body in a crisis was to be calm.

The princess bit her lip thinking that they were just shrugging her petition because she is part of the old noble families, and on top of that she was being accompanied by the guy that betrayed them.

"Aghhh!", a sudden pained scream drew everyone's attention to outside of the dome.

They turned to see the current battle that has devastated the forest, although it hasn't been that long, and then they found the origin of the scream.

One of the two middle stage peak Mortal bodyguards who was holding the leading pirate, got hurt, and now they were being pushed back.

"Old Ricardo…", the guy from the Venerel family, Fernando, saw his bodyguard parrying one of the attacks of the pirate to save the other and he clenched his fists while swearing to take down the guy who sold them.

Aisha walked towards one of the walls of the barrier and touched it, her hand easily bypassed as its purpose wasn't to trap those inside, but keep those outside from entering, meaning that since those Arch ranks left the protection, they had no other choice but to fight for their lives.

"If you want to help, then come here", Aisha called all the nobles to approach them, before she nodded at Liliana.

With a wave of her hand Lilia created a cube of ice covering them, which didn't escape from the eyes of the pirates.

"Look, those are the nobles you are risking your lives for, they are cowering in fear just after seeing a bit of blood kekeke".

The leading pirate didn't miss the chance to mock the bodyguards.

'Humph coward fish bastards, I wonder what those two guy's faces would be once they reach the end of the forest just to find the little surprise, I left for them', he thought.

Inside of the ice cube the nobles listened to the pirates mocking them and they weren't happy about it.

"Miss, why did you do that, those bastards are lowering the morale of our side, as we speak".

Aisha raised an eyebrow, maybe because this is a kingdom but she noticed the nobles here are not fond to the rules of the world, for example she could tell they were really surprised when that Blackfin guy sold them to save his own skin.

"The only way to help them is to take those pirates by surprise, in a high ranked battle a distraction of a fraction of a second can mean a death or victory".

"So shut up and gather as much mana as you can for your better spell, we will only have one shot, and we'll use it against their leader, earth element users make him lose his balance, then everyone else attack his knees and lower back, understood?", Aisha's voice was indisputable.

The nobles were dumbfounded, Aisha went from having a calm and gentle aura, to a warlike aura similar to those who had fought thousands of battles.

'I guess it's to be expected from one of those battle maniacs", they all thought.

Still, they followed Aisha's orders and gathered their mana, even the princess did it, revealing that she was actually a Lord ranked mage.

While Aisha, Leslie and Yvonne also prepared one of their stronger spells, Liliana just kept injecting mana in the cube, to mask the sudden surge of mana inside of it.

Aisha looked at a specific direction and waited for the perfect moment.

"Now!", with Aisha's order, Liliana dispelled the ice cube and then all the nobles used their respective spells.

The first one to attack was actually the princess, swung her finger in the air a couple of times as if she was an orchestra director, as her fingers moved, she drew some notes on the air, before she played them,

"Restriction Waltz~", Mellie's voice might be soft, but the leading pirate suddenly repelled the two bodyguards he was fighting with and covered his eyes, but then before he could react a barrage of many different spells hit him.

"Landslide".

"Rock Barrage".

"Quicksand".

"Water Jet".

"Kelp Spike".

"Dark Bolt".

"Icicle".

"Fire Spear".

"Thunder Arrow!".

"You fucking pests… aghh damn it!", the leading pirate was taken by surprise, he stopped covering his ears and paid the price as his vision blurred, due to the high-pitched sound that was assaulting his eardrums.

Then his feet lost their support and he slipped, and a ton of different attacks hit his knees and lower back, but the one that actually hurt him was a white line of light that hit him right in his spine, his clothes blocked most of the attack and yet he felt that a patch of his skin was burning.

The bodyguards saw the opportunity and jumped into the action, they both aimed at the chest of the leading pirate, but the latter managed to move to dodge, but he was a second too late.

"Aghhh!", a loud scream once again echoed through the battlefield, but this time the ones that turned to look for the origin of it were the pirates, because they recognized the voice.

"Boss!", the pirates saw that their boss got his right arm cut off by his opponents and they retreated back to block them.

The leading pirate's eyes were bloodshot, he saw his severed arm laying on the ground near the barrier but as he was about to grab it, it was sent flying by a line of white light, landing far from them in the forest, probably burnt due to the explosion.

The pirate saw the origin of that last attack, it came from the fingers of a tall silver haired girl in her early twenties inside the barrier.

"YOU!", the pirate felt a blood vessel popping on his neck, growing an arm is way harder than reconnecting one, judging by the explosion although his arm should still be in one piece, since it was attacked with a strong lightning spell, chances are, the nerves are fried now, rendering it useless.

Aisha snorted.

'Serves you right, setting your eyes in my friends and wife candidates of my darling humph'.
