A Guard was knocked off his horse.
The Guards turned around on their horses.
Nemesio grabbed Alessandria and rode to the Guards.
The Guards must have seen Nemesio’s armour and decided not to shoot.
The Queen kept riding towards the bridge.
When she was within shouting distance, Alessandria screamed: “Stop the carriage! There’s a bomb,”
Immediately, all the Guards whipped out their small horns and gave them a long deep blow.
A deafening howl echoed around the land.
Alessandria’s eyes lit up as the carriage stopped ten metres from the stone bridge.
She jumped off the horse and ran to the carriage.
Opening it, she found it empty. Her heart sank and a wave of confusion washed over her.
A horse slowly walked over to her. Looking up, Alessandria saw a woman in the thick white armour plating of a Guard.
“Looking for me?” the Queen said as she stepped off the horse.
“You always were clever,”
“Not clever enough this time. A bomb still would have killed me,”
“Agreed but...”
An explosion drowned out Alessandria’s words.
Immense chunks of flaming stone rained down upon them.
Horses screamed as they were smashed to pieces.
The Guards shrieked as they were burnt alive.
Alessandria jumped on the Queen.
Another bomb.
The Carriage exploded.
A veil of smoke filled Alessandria’s vision.
She moved away clearing it.
More guards screamed as their throats were split.
Five black cloaked men advanced from the river.
The air stunk of gunpowder and burnt flesh.
More Guards were slaughtered in seconds.
Alessandria stood in front of the Queen as three men stood there.
