The women were released from hiding to get back to their rooms, the servant girls and any common girls that could help recruited for the large area that the wounded were being brought to one by one.
"You lost His Majesty?" General Weller asked Philip incredulously. He knew that likely, the Prince wouldn't punish him at all, but it was still very frustrating. For all the men he had protecting him it hadn't been enough. Conrad should have stayed at his side as well.
"Nevermind that," Roxas told Philip quickly. "Start searching NOW." He was a little panicked. Roxas had been looking forward to seeing his cousin. Not looking forward to telling his Mother and Kairi that the Prince was no longer with them.
The Princess arrived at the Prince's room with her Aunt and knocked. Sora must be inside, right? Barty was standing outside, and informed her that as far as he knew, only Riku had come back.
The Prince suddenly breathed deeply now that the weight and pressure was relieved. He coughed a few times, eyelids trembling but failing to open. A muffled voice was talking to him but he just had no idea what was going on. He groaned at the overwhelming pain.
Roxas came rushing over when he heard his name being called. He swore under his breath at the sight of his cousin. "Sora? Sora, can you hear me?" He looked alive, but he needed attention right away. "Help me get his armor off, Hayner." It was going to be too heavy to carry otherwise.
