Bringing The Emperor To The Palace (Chapter 346)

Andre suddenly snapped his head this way and shouted.

“Oscar! Take His Majesty and return to the Imperial Palace at once!”

“Right now?”

“If His Majesty remains here, our top priority will inevitably become his protection. In that case, the burden on the White Tower Master—who must face the Yellow Tower Master alone—will only increase.”

It wasn’t wrong.

If Andre and Sasha joined forces, then no matter that it was the Yellow Tower Master, they could contend with him.

But if Andre withdrew from the front line and focused solely on protecting the Emperor, the outcome could not be guaranteed.

‘The one concern is that I’d be leaving the battlefield….’

Oscar bit down on his lip.

The lesson he had learned in his previous life was that no matter how capable an individual might be, one cannot do everything alone.

At times, it is just as important to trust allies and companions, and to entrust them with burdens.

Having reached that conclusion, Oscar immediately placed his hand on the Emperor’s abdomen and spoke.

“I will return as soon as I confirm that His Majesty has received proper treatment.”

“I’ll be counting on you.”

Behind Andre’s faint smile—

At the same moment he saw the enraged sky scattering thick bolts of lightning—

The figures of Oscar and Ludwig vanished from the battlefield.

Fwoooosh!

The corridor of the Imperial Palace they arrived at by leaping through space was filled only with silence.

The sounds of thunder and magical explosions that had filled the battlefield moments ago still rang in their ears.

Dropping to one knee and holding Ludwig in his arms, Oscar shouted,

“Is anyone here?!”

With that single shout, the palace’s stillness shattered in an instant.
