Fred grew even more suspicious. What are they hiding? Still, he
couldn't baldly accuse them all of lying. They had been allies up to this
point. Besides, he couldn't exactly force them to reveal anything they
didn't want to. He was seriously outnumbered, and had to consider
protecting Exotica and Astra as well. Indeed, as a knight of the Great
Kingdom, his primary duty in this situation was to ensure the safety of his
liege's daughter. This took precedence even above killing the dragon. If
Minestus really were coming, as unlikely as Fred thought that was, he
should be getting the Princesses away.
Not without misgivings, he nodded his assent to their plan. He added "It would be foolish for the four to throw away their lives for the sake of three. Please be careful. Just delay, and follow behind as soon as you can." Astra wanted to stay and fight, but being unarmed, she conceded and reluctantly agreed as well. As the knight and the two princesses made their way down the corridor, Fred shared his suspicions with them, and his reasoning for his chosen course of action.
