The Royal Guards had to retreat for the first time, but once they did, they couldn't stop. Princess Rupert gritted her teeth and pressed on, but it was to no avail. Very soon, there were several cuts in places not covered by her armor, blood gushing out, staining her garments and armor red. At that moment, an arrow flew by, striking the Grand Princess in the chest.
She grunted, leaning back. Not far away, Tianlan was so frightened that she let out an 'ah', picked up her Magic Guided Piano, and struck a note with force.
The bouncing note fell among the Sand Thieves, exploding into a violent sound wave. The Sand Thieves, who were charging forward to capture the Princess, immediately staggered under the impact.
