Irene escaped Agnes who was forced to attend to other duties considering the sudden rush of injured knights.
After the girl convinced the teenager that she would be alright on her own, she took advantage of having no one beside her and sprinted towards the upper levels of the Duke's Tower where her father was taken to a guest room in the Duke's Wing. He was given a comfortable room considering his value to the knighthood.
Considering the amount of people that were having to try and work on him to get him stable, it was no wonder he needed such a large room. The situation was far more severe than when Irene was injured last year despite how unusual her injury was. She hadn't bled the way she saw that her father was, nor did it require multiple mages.
It seemed it was finally time to learn what it was like when hell on earth settled over the knighthood—the true reason for her parents' hesitance in her pursuing this life in the first place. Monsters were called that for a reason.
