Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Time to Begin

a/n: Sorry. The Chapter is fixed now.

Work has also piled up for her so she needs to finish them before the attack starts.

Arabella worked tirelessly until midnight and finished all the work she needed to for the week so she could focus on the war with Crux.

Her assistants also worked faster than usual knowing that if they do not, they will get piled up with work to do once the war begins.

Time and days quickly passed and the time to rescue the imprisoned Prudencians hidden in Crux finally came.

"The nobles are planning to indeed make the Prudencians join the war dressed as Crux soldiers. They are planning to move them out tomorrow so let’s get all of them now," Alwin informed her of what his comrades who spied in Crux reported.

"Then let’s proceed as soon as possible," Arabella rose from her seat.

There were already magicians on each of the locations in the map Princess Seraphina had given them. They are all ready to move once the order is given.

"Yes. It will be tonight," Alwin agreed.

"I will inform my maid and assistants then," Arabella said and Alwin nodded.

He left for a bit to speak with Raymond who was also in the same building.

Arabella got out of her inner office and clapped her hands twice to get her assistants attention.

They all looked up and stopped working.

"Everyone, stop working. Retire to your rooms now and sleep. We will be working tonight. The Prudencians will be sent to the Magic Tower by tonight," Arabella said and the expression on their faces changed.

"Already?!"

[I thought we would have a week or at least a few weeks to wait.]

[Would His Eminence teleport them all here from this distance?

Her assistants were shocked it happened so soon.

Arabella smiled, "Don’t worry about the details. Let’s just do our part. For now, we have to rest since we might work all night until morning the next day. Make sure to eat so you have strength to work."

"Yes, Your Majesty," her assistants bowed and said their goodbyes.

Arabella said the same with her maids and retired to her room as well. She asked Alwin for a sleeping potion to make her sleep and told him to wake her up if her maids do not since he would not be sleeping anyway.

Thanks to Alwin’s potion, she fell asleep in an instant.

"Your Majesty, wake up... It’s time to wake up... Hey, wake up!"

"Who is it?!" Arabella was startled awake and immediately sat up.

She realized it was Alwin whom she had asked to wake her up.

"Finally awake?" he said with an amused smirk.

Arabella figured he must be laughing at her for oversleeping at such a critical time.

It was because of his potions effectiveness though. She ignored his taunt and simply asked, "What time is it?"

"It’s dinnertime. You should get changed and eat. Your maids must have overslept as well since none came to wake you up. I just rang their bell so they must be here soon," Alwin informed.

"I see. Thank you," Arabella was glad he also thought of waking her maids.

"I’ll be going now then. It would be a bad misunderstanding if they see me here," Alwin said and teleported before she could reply.

A few seconds later, someone knocked on her door.

"Your Majesty?"

It was her maids.

They helped her bathe and get dressed before she had her meal.

After dinner, she waited for her assistants at her office.

As usual, they arrived earlier than the agreed time.

"Did all of you eat?" Arabella inquired.

"Yes, Your Majesty," they replied in unison.

All of them ate at the same time in the dining room assigned for them.

"That’s good then. Are you ready?" Arabella eyed each and everyone of them.

They all gulped nervously and glanced at each other before they replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Alright. Let’s head to the Magic Tower," Arabella led the way and they followed behind her.

Once they were at the Magic Tower, Alwin teleported them to the room where the Prudencians would be fed.

It was a wide room with tables and chairs spread out. At the front part was the space for the food and dining materials.

There were already knights in the room and they all fixed their posture when they saw Arabella was the one who arrived and greeted her at the same time.

Raymond and his assistants were also there already with Ferdinand’s assistants. They immediately turned in her direction and greeted as well.

[There are so many people. Does this mean all of us will be helping here?]

[Even His Excellency would be serving food here?]

Arabella’s assistants were surprised.

When they recognized the ones they had seen in Ferdinand’s and Raymond’s office, they were relieved to see that other assistants would be there with them.

"Your Majesty, I’ll be watching over in the room before this. Please maintain a safe distance just in case they planted a spy among the ones brought here," Raymond.

"I will, thank you for the reminder," Arabella nodded.

Raymond would be watching over the fourth step so he would be in the room next to this.

"Odette, go with His Excellency," Arabella said as Raymond said his goodbyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty. And thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. This is possible all thanks to you," Odette bowed deeply.

"I am just doing my duty," Arabella smiled warmly.

"Thank you very much to everyone who’s here to help as well. I, my siblings, and all of Prudencia are ever grateful," Odette said and bowed to everyone in the room.

"It’s our pleasure. We are also just doing our duty," the knights smiled at her and replied politely. They already recognize her since she had been helping around since last time so they knew she was a princess of Prudencia.

Odette left with Raymond so Arabella then turned to her assistants.

"The knights here have experienced serving the food to the Prudencians last time. Copy their example. You are all bright and determined so I’m sure you’ll do well," Arabella encouraged.
