Chapter 743
Michael’s expression changed when he heard this, and he ordered, “Open the gate and let Evander and his wife into the manor p>
The guards opened the gate, and Evander and Natasha rushed into the Xander Manor. The moment Natasha saw Athena, tears streamed down her face. “Athena, something happened in the palace p>
Upon learning that her father had been bloodied in the palace by Fermin, Natasha almost fainted.
The two managed to escape the palace and deliver the message under the protection of their confidants.
“Fermin has already taken control of the Imperial City,” Evander said with difficulty. “All the palace gates have been sealed off, and the Minister’s manor and Perkins Manor have been ransacked, because they are traitors p>
He swallowed and glanced at Alexandra in the hall, lowering his voice even further, “Only the helmets of the Aegis Guards were found under Stormrend Cliff, along with this p>
Evander held a bloodstained gold belt in his hand.
It was the one that Xander always wore around his waist.
Alexandra stared at the piece of gold belt and suddenly let out a shrill cry, her body slumped backward.
The maids hurried to support her. “Alexandra p>
Athena slowly reached out to catch the gold belt. As she thought of Xander’s expression when he left, her eyes suddenly turned red, but she forced the tears back.
She clenched the gold belt in her palm, holding it tightly. “The Royal Guards are probably on their way p>
With Xander gone, Fermin had nothing to fear.
Naturally, he would not let the people of the Xander Manor go.
Evander was stunned. He didn’t expect her to be so calm at the moment. “We have at most half an hour left. He sent three thousand Royal Guards to search the city. All the residences related to Prince Xander p>
“Prepare ink and paper, ” Athena interrupted him and turned to the desk.
She picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, her voice steady. “You two immediately go to Bladehaven Hall in the west of the city through the secret passage. The shopkeeper there is an informant planted by Xander.
“Let him send a message to the remaining Aegis Guards in Athkar, saying that there has been a change in Pidence City, and act according to the third plan p>
Natasha was still sobbing. “But what about you? The Royal Guards will not let you go when they come p>
Natasha grabbed Athena’s hand and persuaded her. “Athena, let’s go together p>

“If I go with you, you won’t be able to escape. What’s more, Ray’s people are watching outside. I’m afraid I will fall into his hands as soon as I leave the city.” Athena’s calm voice gradually calmed Natasha and Evander down.
Seeing Athena calm and composed, seemingly with a plan, the two asked, “Athena, do you have a plan p>
Athena nodded slightly, “Xander left me a team when he left, but Pidence City is controlled by Fermin’s men. I need to send the information from the city out p>
She looked at Natasha and Evander and said, “The task of delivering the message can only be entrusted to you
Two.
“I need you to work with me from the inside out, open the city gates and let the Aegis Guards into the city, and directly attack the Imperial City to rescue the King p>
Evander gasped, seemingly frightened by Athena’s courage. “How many Aegis Guards soldiers are outside the city p>
Athena slowly curved her lips. “Eight hundred p>
“What?” Natasha couldn’t help but exclaim, “But there are five thousand Royal Guards in the city. We are no match for them at all p>
Eight hundred against five thousand, there was no chance of winning.
Defeat was only a matter of time.
Athena smiled very firmly, “Even if we can’t hold it, we must defend it. I believe Xander will come back. He never breaks his promises to me p>
