Chapter 624: Saving Her King (III)

[Third Person].

Dennis inhaled again. "He doesn’t."

Which meant that the Vampires had found a way to mask themselves.

Meredith turned sharply to the border commander and assembled guards. "You saw what just happened."

Some faces were pale, while the rest were angry.

"The vampires are already among us," she continued. "But if we abandon these borders in panic and begin to fish them out, we hand them another opening."

The commander swallowed. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"You continue guarding the Wall. Double vigilance. Watch each other. Trust no unfamiliar scent."

She then turned to the royal warriors who had accompanied her from the palace. "You will sweep internally. Fish them out quietly and execute immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Before another word could be spoken, a green blur descended from the sky. Meredith extended her arm instinctively, and Xamira, chirping sharply—urgent, frantic.

As Meredith listened, her face changed. The air around her seemed to grow colder. At the same time, Valmora surged violently.

"Our mate is in danger."

Dennis stepped closer. "What is it?"

Meredith’s voice came out low and controlled. "Groups of vampires are moving toward the palace."

Dennis’s eyes widened. "Draven."

The bird lifted back into the air, circling above them.

Meredith’s eyes turned misty as she realized something that she never considered. She clenches her fist.

"Their target was the palace all along," she said.

Dennis’s breathing grew ragged. "We don’t know how many are inside. And Draven already sent all the palace warriors out. He is in danger."

"And if they seize the palace," Meredith finished, "Stormveil falls." Her chest tightened violently. None of them had expected the situation to turn out this way.

She had left him because she thought the danger was here.

’Grandmother’s prophecy is unfolding, despite my efforts to stop it,’ Meredith pondered to herself as her heart fluttered wildly in her chest. Her beloved mate was in danger.

The next moment, she turned sharply to the border commander and every warrior present.

"Stormveil is in greater danger than we realized," she declared. "The vampires are strategic. They aim for the palace. If they capture it, they control the kingdom."

An uproar began, but she silenced them with one raised hand. Then, her voice cut through the air like steel.

"Great Warriors of Stormveil... receive your Queen’s command!"

Instantly, every warrior, including Dennis, dropped to one knee, and the sound of armour hitting earth echoed.

"You will protect Stormveil with your lives. Guard these borders. No enemy enters. No enemy escapes."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" their voices thundered.

Then, Meredith’s gaze fell on Dennis. "Alpha Dennis, you will remain at this border and secure it for your King."

His jaw tightened, but he bowed. "I receive the command."

Next, she turned to the royal warriors who had come with her. "You ride with me. We return to secure Stormveil’s heart."

They bowed deeply.

Finally, Meredith let her eyes sweep over the kneeling warriors. Her voice deepened with authority.

"Do you, Great Warriors of Stormveil, yield your lives this day to protect your King and your people?"

The response shook the air. "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then louder—
