The Princess and the Pauper

Cornelia was thrown with such force by Chester that Arabella fell to the ground once again. Guilt and worry flooded through Cornelia as she struggled to lift her aching body off her beloved Arabella, but her limbs refused to cooperate.

Bernard and Kenneth reached out to help her up. But there was no time to catch their breath; eight Chesters were already bearing down on them once more. Arabella pressed a button on her watch to alert Jack and the others, then quickly got up and fought against the eight Chesters.

Meanwhile, Stinger made a beeline for the altar, intent on finishing off Serena. But Serena was not alone; she was guarded by Tyrannosaurus and Nighthawk, who, despite Stinger's earlier battering from Jack, stood unwavering, like emotionless robots programmed to protect.

"My parents were killed by Erik, and who knows, maybe your families too. Are you really going to foolishly lay down your lives for her?" Stinger taunted them.

But his words fell on deaf ears as Nighthawk and Tyrannosaurus remained stoic, forming an impenetrable barrier around Serena. "She's definitely going down today, do you really want to go down with her?” Stinger shouted, but to no avail.

As he prepared to engage them, reinforcements led by Romeo and Jack burst through the doors. Serena's face twisted with rage, "Arabella, you dare bring backup."

She felt betrayed, her voice seething with anger, "Fine, if you all want to escort her to the grave, then you'll all meet your maker today!"

With that, Serena pressed a button on her remote, and the doors slammed shut. From all directions, more Chesters appeared, their numbers swelling to over twenty.

“Kill them." Serena commanded, and her army of Chesters advanced.

Romeo and Jack had brought along about a hundred men, drew their weapons and opened fire on the advancing Chesters, but these Chesters were not afraid of bullets, their bodies seemed as invulnerable as if made of iron and copper.

One after another, the bodyguards were lifted by the Chesters and thrown against pillars and windows. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty men lay defeated.

"Find a chance to get my family out of here first," Arabella instructed Jack, who was by her side. "Don't worry, boss, leave it to me!" Jack replied, attempting to kick a Chester only to be lifted and thrown aside himself.

Just as Arabella could react, four Chesters attacked her in unison. Romeo intercepted two for her, Arabella fended off another, and the last was blocked by the sudden appearance of Wolf.

"Help Jack get my family to safety," Arabella ordered upon seeing him.

"Understood." Wolf sprang into action, fending off Chesters threatening Kenneth, pushing them back.
