272 A Man Covered in Blood (1/2)

The message from the Emergency Contact Token was also too loud; Yale and Revgen thought that they needed to order to those in charge of creating these tokens to fix them a bit.

”A man covered in blood has appeared at the gates of our Imperial Palace asking to meet Princess Nurvey. He seems too suspicious, but we didn't dare to chase him out without the orders of the Princess. Right now, he is still in the door begging to meet Princess Nurvey.”

Usually, anyone who dared to act like that would be expelled, but since that man covered in blood had mentioned Nurvey, they didn't dare to be negligent. If that man didn't have any relationship with Nurvey, the guards would punish him, but if that man was an acquaintance of Princess Nurvey and they blocked his path letting him die from his injuries, their fates would be surely worse than the man who was begging to meet Nurvey.

”Who?”

Nurvey couldn't reply to those guards with the Emergency Contact Token, and she didn't plan to contact them either; that question didn't expect any reply.

In a situation like that, she needed to see the man personally to ensure that was someone she knew. After all, even if she asked the guards for a description, the description might be imprecise, or the man could be under disguise and fool the guards.

”I need to go.”

Nurvey bowed towards her grandfather and then to Yale and Ange. Then, she walked towards the door.

”Wait. If this is some kind of trap, you may die. Let me go with you. You know about my power, it will be impossible for anyone to kill you under my supervision.”

Nurvey nodded to Yale's words because she still remembered how Yale saved all the group back then in the special realm.

Revgen also agreed to Yale's suggestion because he didn't want to expose himself to the outside world until a critical moment. Moreover, he had full trust in Yale, so since Yale had offered himself to protect Nurvey, Revgen didn't have any doubt his words.

”I can control the formation, come here, I need direct contact to teleport you with me towards the door.”

Yale had the same authority as Revgen in the Imperial Palace, so he could use the formations freely to teleport to any place without problems. However, he didn't want to bet to teleport someone who wasn't in direct contact with him for fear of some problem happening in the teleportation to the other party.

Nurvey neared Yale, and the later held her hand before manipulating the teleportation to disappear from Nurvey's room and appear in the gates of the Imperial Palace.

After appearing there, Yale let go Nurvey's hand. In fact, both only held their hands for a few seconds, and Nurvey didn't even have time to react to Yale's actions.

The guards were surprised by the sudden apparition of Yale and Nurvey. They almost wielded their weapons towards them, but after seeing Nurvey, they stopped before pointing their weapons towards her.

Pointing a weapon towards Nurvey was seeking death even if it was unintentional.

However, although Nurvey had a certain degree of authority regarding the formations in the Imperial Palace, she didn't have enough for teleporting using the formations, that was a function that only Revgen could use or at least that was the common knowledge because Yale also could use it due to his previous life's identity.

Thus, no one expected that Nurvey would appear so quickly after they had sent that message to her.

”Who is he?”

One of the guards asked that to Nurvey, but he wasn't speaking about the man covered in blood outside the gates, but about Yale who appeared together with her.

”He is someone respected by my grandfather and me, disrespect him and would be the same that disrespecting us.”

Nurvey didn't want to speak about Yale's true identity after she had learned it, but she couldn't let those guards disrespect him by not saying anything.
