<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, let''s go." Keith put up the peace sign; it was now time to go. But as they were about to,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey! Why are you guys-" Hearing some creaking sound, a guard came to check on it. He was surprised to see the three students out of their cells! But that was thest thing he saw. Keith dashed up to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Without a secondter,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay, he''s out cold." Keith let go of the guard, and the man dropped to the ground.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." So casual.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We need to take out the other one," Keith smiled, "Melor, carry him."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay," Melor didn''t dare question Keith, not after how he knocked the guy out.
<span style="font-weight:400">The group quickly headed back to the lobby. And the other guard didn''t seem to notice them. He was focused on his newspapers. Nothing needed to be said about what happened next.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do we just leave them there?" Jack questioned. With two unconscious people, if someone walked in, it would be trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I got this. Melor put the guy in the chair," Keith smirked as he got to work.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This looks perfect," Keith stared at his masterpiece.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The others really had nothing toment on. That was because it looked immacte. One guard was sleeping on the job while the other was reading a newspaper.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay, we can leave now." No one would know what had urred.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re way too good at this," Licht muttered. The way Keith made an easy escape was just too natural. It was like he did this a thousand times!
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know. Now let''s leave." Like that, they walked out of the solitary confinement ward without any trouble. Once they got some distance,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good, we can be casual now."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, I wanted to apolog-" Licht was going to say something. However,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Your brother is trash. There''s no need to apologize for anything."
<span style="font-weight:400">Licht''s eyes widened, "You knew?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alfia was the one who told me it was him." Keith shrugged his shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Licht sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, where is Alfia?" That was something Keith was a little confused about. He knew Iston did something. Yet, he hoped what he was thinking hadn''t urred.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alfia and Faelyn are fine. They are being held in their rooms."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, thank god." Keith sighed in relief, "Dodged a bullet right there. I thought she was having one of her fits."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you act more serious?" Gabriel grabbed his head. Joking in this kind of situation was not the way to go.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith waved his hand, "But it would be annoying to talk in a tense atmosphere. However, I really thought Iston was going to end her." With how Iston acted when they fought, he thought he might have actually done that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s no-" Gabriel paused as he turned to Licht, "He wouldn''t, right?" He didn''t know much about Iston.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Iston is ruthless and backhanded. However, he wouldn''t dare harm Alfia. If word got out, he would be put on the chopping block." His route to the throne would be over if he did.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank goodness," Keith sighed in relief, "Also, why are you here?" He never did get the reason from Licht. Was it only to apologize?
<span style="font-weight:400">Licht sighed deeply before asking, "I want you to stop Iston."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Beside Keith, the rest were baffled by his words.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But aren''t the two of you brothers?" Jack questioned. Last time he checked, they were siblings.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We are siblings. However, that doesn''t mean I agree with Iston''s methods. His ideologies and methods are too dangerous."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then why didn''t you stop him." Melor frowned. Since they were close, he should have an inkling of that crazy guy''s ideas.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because I don''t have enough power," A weak smile appeared on Licht''s face. This was something he knew. Born from a lower bloodline, Iston had all the power over him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s why I need your help. Please save Alfia!" Licht was about to get on his knees. However, Keith grabbed his shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You don''t need to beg. I was going to do something about it in the beginning." Keithmented.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s why I got myself sent into solitary confinement."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?!" Licht and the others were surprised when they heard that. You sent yourself there on purpose?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"What? You think I punched those elves for no reason?" Keith raised one of his brows.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s with the silence?!" A sigh came out as Keith held his forehead, "I knew Iston was targeting me. I needed to do this."
<span style="font-weight:400">"?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, I''m going to be storming an ind. You guys in?" Keith grinned. This was not the first time he had done this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You always do the craziest things," "Let''s do this!" Gabriel and Jack were in.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We have to do this!" Arlo was the third.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want to join in as well!" Melor added. Since Keith would do something this big, why couldn''t he join in on this fun?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, the more, the merrier!" Keithughed. He wasn''t going to say no to the extra help.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, I will need your help getting on the ind, Licht." Keith turned to Licht.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m assuming you can invite people in and out of your ind, right?" Keith had that power with his ind. He did that with Carolyn and Alfia.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, gonna need your help with that. Last time I charged in, I got an earful from Grandpa Cadmus." Just talking about it was enough to make Keith rub his ears.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re lucky you only got an earful," Gabriel sighed. He was there when Cadmus chewed him out. It was not a pretty sight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But Keith, are you sure you can handle all those elves?" Licht questioned. Before, around 80% of the elves supported Iston''s craziness. But the defeat of Alfia cemented it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, don''t worry. We can handle it." Keith turned to the others, "Gabriel, Jack, Arlo. Load up!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" "But with what?" Jack retorted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"With this!" Keith summoned out some weapons from his storage belt!
<span style="font-weight:400">"You had all of this on you?!" "Yeah."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Stop acting so casual!" Jack wanted to karate chop his head! This man was breaking the tension with how carefree he was!
<span style="font-weight:400">"They never thought to take away the belt. Tsk. Tsk." Keith shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay! We got weapons! Now let''s go!" Keith pumped his fist in the air.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Why does it feel like we''re going on a field trip? There was something wrong with this atmosphere.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Licht, lead us to the ind."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Understood." Keith smiled as he followed the elf. When they entered the ind,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Woah! This ce is tightly guarded." Keith and the others quickly hid behind some trees. What they saw were a bunch of guards around the gates.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Completely different from Todd''s ind." That ind had no ounce of protection.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Licht, you enter first." Keith smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood. I wish you guys the best of luck." Keith had given him his job, and he would aplish it. Once he left,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do we do now?" Jack questioned. With those students monitoring outside, how were they going to get in?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Before that, what is the n?" They were going to raid this ind. But how were they going to do that?
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Everyone turned to Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you guys looking at me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Are you seriously asking that question?" You''re the only person crazy enough to charge into one by yourself!
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Fine. Fair point." Keith sighed, "I will give you guys your orders."
