Priest Franz immediately breathed holy power into Killian's arm.
"Wow!"
As the deep gunshot wound healed in an instant, exclamations escaped the lips of those around him.
“Move your arms. How do you feel?”
Killian bent and straightened his arm as the priest had instructed.
“Yes, it’s okay.”
The power of the Holy Spirit is so enormous.
He feels a little sorry for treating him like a useless person until yesterday.
“It was you, my lord, who protected my wife and her men on our way here.”
“That said, I haven’t experienced any particularly dangerous situations.”
When the priest Franz spoke humbly, Cezanne immediately shook her head.
“Still, it would have been difficult to get here without the priest’s help.”
The Starr family also enthusiastically agreed and expressed their gratitude.
“That’s right. It was like watching a real magic trick, making people invisible.”
“And the best part was that you created a light in the dark underground sewer!”
Mayo and Ivan's words made Franz feel like he was a member of the amusement park staff for a moment, but Franz was also happy to hear that he had been helpful.
"Marquis."
Prince Kite, who had been looking around, cautiously called out to Killian.
“Let’s get inside quickly before the Emperor notices the situation.”
As Kite said, there was no time to relax here.
Killian looked at Emily with hesitant eyes, then politely asked Priest Franz.
“Please take good care of Emily while I visit the Rose Palace.”
He didn't want to leave Emily by his side in this dangerous palace.
But seeing the abilities of the priest Franz, he thought it would be safer to stay by his side, so he boldly gave up on the option of going with her.
“Yes, don’t worry.”
Reassured by the priest's confident answer, Killian hugged Emily tightly one last time.
“I’ll be back so quickly that you’ll wonder when I left.”
“Yes, you should go quickly.”
Seeing Killian's wounds made sending him off harder than before, but Emily knew well that throwing a tantrum would only weigh more heavily on his heart.
"Wow!"
As the deep gunshot wound healed in an instant, exclamations escaped the lips of those around him.
“Move your arms. How do you feel?”
Killian bent and straightened his arm as the priest had instructed.
“Yes, it’s okay.”
The power of the Holy Spirit is so enormous.

“Yes, you should go quickly.”
Seeing Killian's wounds made sending him off harder than before, but Emily knew well that throwing a tantrum would only weigh more heavily on his heart.
"Then."
Killian kissed Emily's forehead lightly and then turned away coldly.
As Killian left with the people, Emily and Franz exchanged silent glances.
“Shall we go in too?”
"Yes."
The power of the priest Franz and the magical power of Emily.
The two of them felt that it would be a shame to let their skills go to waste.

As Charles had warned, the interior of the Rose Palace was filled with armed knights.
“I was wondering where everyone went, but I guess they had a meeting here?”
Messina sneered and turned the joints of her neck and wrist.
“Yeah, it takes this many people to make the fight worthwhile.”
Knox also leisurely scanned the enemy lines and estimated the number of enemies.
The castle was a 'ㄷ' shaped structure with an entrance in the middle.
They don't know for sure, but there must have been knights scattered all over the right and left buildings.
Before entering the Rose Palace, it was decided that Killian and Prince Kite would take the right side, while Marquis Huppert and the Rezetta family would take the left side.
“They’re rebels. Attack!”
At the shout of the enemy leader, the knights rushed in shouting, "Whoaaa!"
As they dealt with the rushing knights, enemies continued to pour out from the buildings on both sides.
In this way, not only would one quickly lose stamina, but it would also be difficult to find the Emperor.
Killian took out another gun he had been carrying on his right side as a spare, held it in both hands, and fired magic bullets.
The enemies were unable to advance easily due to Killian's relentless barrage of magic bullets, and the Starr Family rushed through the passage created by the bullets and cut down the enemies.
It was amazing that he could fire magic bullets in rapid succession, but even the destructive power of the magic bullets fired by Killian was comparable to a single shot fired with concentration by a highly trained A-class knight.
“That’s a monster...”
Some knights were so terrified by the sight that they could not believe it was human, and they collapsed on the ground.
“Even so, isn’t it a bit strange to refer to someone as ‘that’?”
Knox said as he stabbed his sword into his enemy.
Behind them, Prince Kite and his troops opened the rooms one by one, providing covering fire, searching for any place where the royal family might be hiding.
“Killian! This way!”
At that moment, Messina's shout was heard from the building on the left.
“The Emperor is here!”
"Shit."
Killian muttered a curse under his breath.
Since there were still many enemies left, it was impossible to turn around and go to the building on the left.
“Boss, leave this to us and go quickly to the building on the left with Prince Kite.”
Kilian frowned at Giovanni's words.
“Do you think you can handle it on your own?”
"I have one grenade left. If all else fails, I'll use this one."
In a situation where every moment counts, there was no room for hesitation.
Killian immediately exchanged glances with Prince Kite.
Prince Kite nodded and gave orders to his knights.
“You will remain here and assist the Starr family under Giovanni’s command.”
"All right!"
After entering the Rose Palace, the soldiers' morale was sky-high as they were defeating enemies without difficulty.
Leaving Giovanni in charge of the troops, Killian and Prince Kite immediately ran to the building on the left.
As they passed through the central entrance and turned to the left, they saw the soldiers of the Rezetta family and the Marquis of Huppert dealing with the exhausted soldiers rushing in.
“You came quickly.”
The Marquis Huppert breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he saw the two.
“Where is the Emperor?”
Messina answered Killian's question on his behalf.
"It's inside the banquet hall. Our Rezetta family will block the entrance, so you and the Marquis must hurry inside."
The banquet hall where the Emperor was was quite close to the main entrance and was a desolate place with no place to hide.
Killian and Kite entered, wondering why the royal family was here.
“We finally meet like this.”
Unlike the fierce battle outside, the Emperor sat on the yellow stone inside the hall, leisurely looking down at Killian and Kite.
Lucius, sitting next to him, also had an air of confidence.
Among them, only the Empress sat with an anxious expression.
“Marquis Huppert. You've always been a nuisance, and I wish I'd gotten rid of you long ago.”
The Emperor showed his displeasure towards the Marquis Huppert, who had entered behind the two with his troops.
"That's ridiculous. How could you possibly destroy me with your own power?"
The Emperor's face crumpled even more at the Marquis of Huppert's polite response.
“By the way, I see why you chose this place.”
The banquet hall had a higher ceiling than other venues, so swinging a longsword was no problem. They must have felt that using magic bullets alone would be limiting.
It seemed like a reasonable guess, as right below the yellow stone, the 1st Knights were ready to attack with their swords drawn.
“Do you think you can commit treason and get away with it?”
But even so, with Duke Sadie now gone, the tide was tilted in Killian's favor.
Even though he could not have been unaware of this, the Emperor's momentum did not waver, as if he had some corner of him that believed in it.
Prince Kite looked slightly disgusted as he looked at the dignified Emperor.
“It would be best for you to surrender quickly.”
Lucius interrupted, cursing at him.
“Kite, how dare you join hands with that kid and do something like this?”
Lucius felt as if his head was going to explode with rage at the union of two people he considered the unluckiest in the world.
“Lucius, I am always grateful to you.”
Kite sneered at him, one corner of his mouth raised.
“If you had been a little more personable and capable, I would have felt uncomfortable.”
“Shut up, you little shit.”
Unable to hide his excitement at the sound that scratched his pride, Lucius immediately stood up and aimed his gun.
Although hs never trained properly due to laziness, he does have royal blood in him, so he had a chance to try it out from time to time, so shooting magic bullets was no problem.
Bang!
The magic bullet was fired in an instant with a loud noise.
But Kite couldn't have missed Lucius's clumsy attack.
Rather, he was watching Lucius, who had been acting up for a while, and watching how he would react.
But, looking at Lucius' poor gun skills, it was hard to believe why he chose that weapon, as it 'shoots magic bullets'.
When he shot, his breathing was messed up, his balance was off, and his speed was too slow.
'Well, I guess it would have been the same even if he had used a different weapon.'
Kite looked at Lucius with a pitiful look.
“Are you done playing, Lucius?”
Killian rotated the cylinder with an indifferent expression and inserted a new magic bullet.
He didn't even give Lucius a chance to react; he aimed the gun at him and pulled the trigger.
“...What the heck is this?”
But Killian's magic bullet failed to hit Lucius.
Prince Kite, who was looking at Killian, also had an expression of disbelief.
Only smoke came out of the muzzle, and the magic bullet fell to the ground without being properly fired.
“Hahaha! You idiot. Do you really think I would let you in here without any countermeasures?”
The emperor continued speaking, holding his stomach with a face as if he could die from laughter.
"I just activated the magic control device. No one inside this building can use magic."
This would also be disadvantageous to the Starr Family and the Rezetta Family, who were fighting the enemy outside.
Killian, who was initially flustered, quickly sorted out the situation in his head and soon returned to his original expression.
“Do you think you can subdue us with a sword?”
The Emperor gritted his teeth as he looked at Killian, who still had an arrogant look in his eyes.
“Really? Then go ahead and give it a try.”
The 1st Knights Division, having heard the Emperor's order, began its attack.
Normally, a knightly order was made up of about 150 people, but in the case of the 1st Knightly Order, there were only 80 people, and instead, each person had the strength of about 5 people.
If they use this calculation method, even if the Marquis of Huppert had his army, he would never be able to defeat the 1st Knights.
'Father Franz! Everyone was here!'
'Madame Starr! Please come with me. Don't leave me.'
'Oh, I'm sorry.'
If there was one thing the Emperor overlooked here, it was that even though magic power no longer worked in the Rose Palace, holy power still worked.
