Tom and Aria were completely awake as they rushed out of their rooms.
The two of them met up in the living room.
"Tom, you're awake?" Aria was surprised to see Tom coming from his room with his weapon in hand.
Tom replied, "It sounds like something's happening behind the house. I was just about to go and check."
"It might be assassins coming after Lord Caspian."
Tom nodded and replied, "I think so as well. We should go and see what's happening."
He also thought that it was probably assassins coming after Caspian.
Aria and Tom ran toward the back of the house without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, behind the house, Caspian held tightly onto Willow's hand as he faced off against the assassins.
He continued to wave the weapon in his hand.
The assassins coming after him were shredded as if they were made out of paper.
Caspian continued to kill his pursuers with his trusty Diatanium dagger.
Right when the couple was about to escape, Willow suddenly tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
She then shouted, "Just go, Caspian! Forget about me!"
Willow knew she was only dragging him down as Caspian had to keep her safe.
Any longer, and both of them might be in danger.
"Willow, I would never abandon you," Caspian explained as he picked her up.
The Raging Blade men began to encircle the couple once more.
Flashes of cold steel rushed toward the couple.
The situation had turned dire for Caspian and Willow.
Caspian could have easily taken out all of these assassins if he were alone. But having to protect Willow at the same time made it much more difficult.
Willow was so frightened that all she could do was hug Caspian tightly with her arms. The hug was the only thing left that made her feel safe.
Caspian continued to wield his weapon and fight off the assassins.
The men's weapons were reduced to mere toys when they clashed with the Diatanium dagger.
Caspian managed to escape from the encirclement with Willow in tow.
The men were surprised.
They never expected Caspian to have such a powerful weapon.
Caspian made a big swinging motion with the Diatanium dagger and sent out an arc-shaped shockwave.
The men were all knocked away.
They began to wail in agony, and some of them even had their arms cut off from the shockwave.
Caspian landed on the ground with Willow in his arms and hit the ground running.
But holding Willow in his arms had slowed his movements.
The assassins launched another strike as they intended to kill the couple right then and there.
Willow was so frightened that she closed her eyes.
Suddenly, sounds of metal clashing could be heard nearby.
Following suit were miserable screams.
The men who were trying to attack Caspian were shot and fell to the ground.
The other assassins were startled and took a step back.
Aria shouted, "Lord Caspian, I'm here to help!"
Both Caspian and Willow turned to face the direction of the voice.
They saw that Aria and Tom were running over to them with a gun and a machete in hand.
