It was quite surprising. Aiden didn't expect Helen to come straight to him. Helen stepped closer, her face right in front of Aiden's. That didn't make Aurora happy.
The white-haired girl looked aggressive. She moved quickly to stand in front of Aiden, brandishing her sword, which was charged with powerful magical energy.
Seeing the young lady of the Reinhard family being threatened by a stranger, the guards at the gate and the horse-drawn carriage escort appeared to be on alert. They raised their shields and thrust their iron spears forward.
Everyone was on high alert! The life of Young Lady Helen was far more valuable than the lives of ordinary guards like them. Aiden was certainly aware of their change in attitude.
He gently patted Aurora on the shoulder to try to calm her down. Slowly, Aurora began to dispel the magical energy from her sword, then sheathed it again.
"Phew," Helen sighed in relief, her life had been saved.
