556 Trying Again (1/2)

After the Time Leap, Yale teleported directly to outside the only city of Yale's Kingdom.

Since he had already been there before, it wasn't difficult at all.

The city was already covered by a barrier, so it was impossible to teleport to the inside directly.

Yale bypassed the army surrounding the city without being noticed and managed to get inside.

The plan was to rescue Wyba and flee from there before the bomb arrived.

There wasn't enough time on his first try, but thanks to being able to teleport there, he won enough time to complete that mission.

He rushed his way until he reached the doors of the palace.

There were two guards protecting the doors despite being night, which seemed quite normal for the royal palace.

”Stop, who are you?”

One of the two guards spoke after seeing Yale, but she shut up immediately because she recognized the person in front of her.

After all, there wasn't a person in that country who didn't know who that person was despite having never met him personally before.

”Your Majesty. Sorry for being rude with my previous words.”

It didn't matter if Yale was only the king because Wyba decided it, no one in that country opposed to it, so they really treated Yale as their king.

”I have important things to speak with Wyba.”

Yale only said that while entering the palace, but just after that, a bell started to ring, which woke up the whole city before an announcement was made.

”Our king returned! Everyone, get up and come to pay your respects!”

The other guard, who recognized Yale on the first second, sent a message to the one in charge of announcements to make that everyone learned about it.

”Those fools! I came here stealthy, and then they announced it so loudly. There is no way the army hasn't noticed that something happened.”

Yale didn't expect that his plan would be trashed by such a stupid announcement. He felt that there was no need to wake up everyone just because he appeared, it would have been alright to wait until the morning when he would already be far.

A normal country wouldn't have made such a ruckus in the midst of the night just because the king returned, but that country had never seen their king before, so he was practically a living legend.

Yale ran until he found Wyba's room. Wyba had already woken up due to the announcement, but before she could speak, Yale did it.

”This city is under attack. We need to flee quickly.”

Just as Yale guessed the army outside started their attack on the moment, they heard the bells. The cries of despair of the beast girls were starting to sound around the city.

”We need to save the citizens.”

In front of a simple attack, Wyba didn't want to abandon the others. In the previous time, she saw the bomb, so she knew that the situation wasn't just a simple attack, but she didn't know there.

”It is because your citizens made that bell ring that they are attacking us now! They were going to do it at sunrise, which would have been enough for me to save more people, but they trashed my plan.”

Yale only cared about Wyba, so if he could easily save the others he would, but if he couldn't, he had enough saving Wyba.

Wyba was left without words when she understood that it happened because she ordered that the announcement was made when her big brother returned.

”I ordered that...”

Yale didn't care about explanations. It didn't matter whose fault was, but they needed to flee quickly.

”Princess, we are being attacked! Oh... King, you are here too. We need to prepare our defenses!”

Clair irrupted in the room to notify the situation outside, but there wasn't anything that Yale didn't know.

Yale waved his hand, making that Wyba and Clair entered into his Storage Space.

Although Clair was just a random person for Yale, he saw her sacrificing her life for Tofesh previously, so since she was present in the room, he decided to also save her.

Yale started to run from the palace to the border of the city. Once he left the area covered by the barrier, he would teleport to another place, and everything would be fine.
