Her Majestic Battle Cry 1196



The screams from the hall grew louder and more frantic. As she sprinted toward the noise, Claire shouted, “Don’t run around–find somewhere to hide!”

Inside the hall, both Catherine and Harriet were visibly shaken, frantically shielding the students behind them..

Rosalind and Athena gripped sticks in their hands, desperately striking at the men who had charged in, trying to keep them away from the young women.

However, Rosalind was no match for their strength. As she saw one man move toward Cassidy, who screamed in terror, she swung her stick with all her might. But the blow didn’t knock him down. Instead, he grinned and lunged toward her

By the time Claire arrived, Rosalind was already in the man’s arms, who was leaning in to kiss her. Rosalind struggled violently, pushing against him with all her strength, but she was no match for him. She scratched at his face, trying to stop him from kissing her.

Seeing this, Claire’s temper flared. She seized the man by the back of his coat and threw him hard to the ground. With a swift kick to his stomach, he writhed in pain, rolling around on the

floor.

Claire snatched Athena’s stick from her and began to swing it wildly. The men scattered, cowering and clutching their heads in an attempt to protect themselves.

The man who had dared to assault Rosalind was knocked to the ground, the stick landing across his legs with a sickening crack, followed by a sharp, painful scream.

At that very moment, the carriages of the students‘ families began to arrive. When the onlookers saw the chaos, their faces went pale.

“What’s happened? What’s going on here?” someone cried. “How did these men get in?”

The shout caused a rush of people to crowd into the hall, only to be met with the sight of a man lying on the floor, while the students stood frozen in fear.

When the students saw their parents, they rushed toward them in a panic, sobbing.

“Dad! Mom! It’s awful! They broke in and grabbed Ms. Young!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Rosalind. She’was pale, her hair disheveled, and her hairpins askew. Despite Athena’s efforts to hold her steady, Rosalind’s entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

Catherine, seasoned and quick–witted, understood the gravity of the situation. She knew that if word of this event spread, Rosalind’s reputation would be irreparably damaged. Worse still, the entire school would be ruined.

Stepping forward, she said, “Thanks to Ms. Claire’s quick action, no one was harmed. Ms. Young was holding a stick to protect the students…”

But her voice lacked conviction. One by one, the young women rushed to their parents, eager to recount what they had witnessed. noveldrama

None of the young women had ever encountered such a scene before. They were terrified, speaking in frantic tones, making the situation seem far more severe than it had been. Some claimed they had nearly been grabbed by the intruders. Others said their sleeves had been tugged. A few said they owed their safety to Rosalind, whose swift intervention had kept the attackers from reaching them.

Catherine and Harriet tried to explain the events, but their words fell on deaf ears. The parents, incensed, pressed forward, demanding answers.

Why had the gate been left open? How had the intruders gotten inside?

The angered crowd forced the teachers to step back.

“Everyone, please, calm down!” came the voice of Zoey, who had just arrived.

Disregarding any formalities, she rushed into the hall and shouted, “This was clearly a targeted attack on the school! They’ve apprehended one of the men, and he will be taken to the authorities for investigation. Thankfully, no harm was done to the students–only a fright. No young lady was, assaulted. I ask you all not to spread rumors that might harm the young ladies‘ reputations.”

Zoey was the Earl of Silverstone’s wife, and her words silenced many of the voices in the room. However, whispers still rippled through the servants and onlookers.

Claire grabbed the man by the collar and hoisted him to his feet. Without a moment’s hesitation, she slapped him twice across the face.

“Who sent you?” she demanded fiercely.

The man’s eyes were bloodshot. Instead of retreating, he seemed unfazed by the blows and his broken feet. His hands reached toward Claire’s face, a vile grin on his lips as he muttered, Pretty girl, let me hold you for a moment,”

Fury surged through Claire’s chest. She punched him hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He bent over, clutching his belly, but his lewd expression remained.

This spectacle only served to further enrage the parents.

“This is outrageous! How dare he?” Winifred shouted angrily, clutching her daughter Cassidy to her chest. The young woman was visibly shaken, trembling in her mom’s arms.

“He looks drugged! Just look at his eyes–they’re completely unnatural! After all that, he still dares to behave like this!” Winifred continued, her voice rising.

“How could such a scoundrel have made it inside? Is no one guarding this school? This matter cannot be swept under the rug. We demand answers. This incident cannot be ignored. We must have an explanation!”
