Peter gave a thought to it before answering her precisely. To be honest, he didn't really think about this matter till now, as he decided to take care of other important matters in hand at the moment. He need to conceal the truth and still need to filter the whole city, in case any shadow lurking behind to attack them again. He didn't want to take any chances again, minding protecting Aeinshia is his current mission to accomplish now.

" Usually pests like those should be killed, but seeing that they are still useful to us, I guess we can spare them by cutting their arms and legs for now, " He replied back. He didn't mention they could be left at mercy, the people who tried to harm a Royal, instead told a time being remedy and indirectly advised, they could deal with them later after getting every knowledge from their end.

Aeinshia smirked, " That's an easy punishment. We need to cut the root cause, and end it. Turn them into Eunuchs for now and report me later, " She said calmly as if it's nothing.

"Noted, " Peter replied curtly.

To castrate someone is a big punishment compared to giving them death, however, he know, they deserve a punishment as such for trying to molest Aeinshia and he isn't against any punishments she wants them to undergo.

As if she thought something else, " Do you think their eyes are useful? " She asked him, indirectly Hinton him something.

Of course, he isn't a fool to not understand the meaning behind those words of Aeinshia, they were still alive because they are useful, however, they could eliminate few parts to torture them to let them spill out the truth.

However, Peter didn't fully agreed with Aeinshia's opinion, " I think we can gouge out eyes of few, and inflict fear in others to know everything, but I say, it is for best if we let their leader intact for a while atleast, " He spoke, fully knowing that Nathan must be the one who knows much and a reliable source of information to trust.

Based on what Aeinshia spoke before, it is understood that someone is behind Nathan, guided him all the way here, however what they didn't expect was a failure, notice a defeat even after all the efforts to put in.

By using this opportunity, they could eliminate few people who are baring a grudge against Rutz house once and for all.

Aeinshia knew he must have thought about everything before he replied and it's not hard to understand what he meant. So she simply nodded her head in an acknowledgment for his words.

" If everything's ok, then I guess you could rest for a while here. Meanwhile, I will go and check security at the cherry blossom palace, " He send, and waited for her commands.

"Ok, " She replied curtly and yawned lightly. That's when she understood she is still feeling sleepy and should take another nap.

Peter bowed and finally took his leave from Aeinshia, going out, he called few guards and assigned them around the room, in which Aeinshia is currently resting and ordered few others to safe guard the whole place, while he made sure to assign few guards at certain position.

Taking few guards along with him, he went to complete his part of duty.

Without any delay, Peter rushed towards the cherry blossom palace. It's not that far from the medics place. Utmost, it took only 45 mins for them with their high speed pace and he made sure, that everything is alright inside the palace.

Of course, there might be moles inside as per his knowledge, since they got the gal to attack a princess, it is only understandable if their are spies everywhere around the city, but they would never dare to do any harm to the princess inside the cherry blossom palace. After all, it's a tightly secured place and there are many unknown tunnels digged inside the palace for escape routes, just in case, even if there were any ambushes happened there.

...

Guards standing outside the welcoming door of the Palace looked straight ahead. They could here horse callops from afar. Word has already spread that, the princess, Aeinshia Rutz, has arrived the city already, just as per her regular every year visit. So they assumed it must be them, who came to rest inside.

The guard who is standing right next to door spoke, " Eugene, don't you think the princess took lots of time to travel from the temple to the palace? " He asked, still wasn't aware about the incident took place at the temple and the ambush happened inside the temple.

" Keep your voices low if you still wish to live few more years, " Another guard sneered at his peer, knowing, it is for best of anyone if they didn't get involved in the business of a imperial family member and stay away from getting to know about them more.

The guard, who asked earlier, landed his glare on the person who spoke just now.

" It's not like I asked you in the first place? What? Do you want to start a fight with me here? " He spoke in reply, as he showed his fist, inviting for a fight.

Not minding his peers goodness, the guard reacted wildly.

" I see, people really don't know what's good for them. So childish, " The previous guard commented back.

The other guard was about to retaliate when their captain shouted from behind, " Everyone, stay attentive. "

As per his orders, none of them dared to speak any extra words.

The horses and people who board them came to sight.

Peter and his men stood in front of the gates, halting their actions, Peter moved his eyes to the guards who were stand guarding the entrance of the cherry blossom palace.

" Identity please, " A guard spoke, to confirm the identity of the person.

Peter's gaze shifted to a person near to him. The guard immediately understood what he meant, unmounting the horse, he went near the guard and showed the Royal seal, which showed they are from capital.

Confirming their identity, the guard shouted, " Sir Peter, along with his men came. Open the gates, " He ordered the guards on other side of the entrance.

The captian who is responsible for training gaurds here in cherry blossom palace immediately rushed to greet Peter and guide him around the palace.

Only after having a whole strict stroll around the whole chery blossom palace , he believed that this place is safe for Aeinshia to stay over night and depart tomorrow early morning.

Without having any delayed plans and closing all pleasantries, he rushed back to the medics place, to make sure to check upon Aeinshia and the other people.

Aeinshia was still asleep when Peter barged into the room in a rush. He never knew when this sense of worrying for Aeinshia came into his mind, but his instinct told that Aeinshia needed a trust worthy person beside her. He don't know whether it was him or not, but he truly want to help her as much as he could. Even the slightest is better than nothing.

Closing the door with a light creek, he dispatched all others guards who were guarding here before and took in to his duty.

In no less than 30 minutes, Aeinshia came up, still appearing weak and restless.

" I guess we can go now, " Aeinshia commented, seeing the sky, if any later, they will surely find it difficult to even travel back to cherry blossom palace.

Peter slightly smiled back and replied her, " Everything is set here. Waiting for your orders your Highness, " Saying that he led her the way towards the horses.

Reaching the area, Aeinshia felt a little guilty. Maximum, all the soldiers already arrived to depart and were waiting for her. They worked hard for her, yet she made them even more tired because of her. 

Cussing herself a little, she smiled at them and mounted her browny.

" I am coming, wait a minute, " A man shouted from behind.

Everyone turned to see the owner of this shout.
