"Trfotrvy!"
Another blue figure stepped into the room, his hand outstretched.
The beam redirected, barely missing the Clubian Ace, who let out a sharp shriek.
"Arthur!" Matthew yelled to the Queen, who was still in fair shape.
Natalya was subdued by another familiar royal, the Jack, Yao. Yao held a wok from the kitchen, almost instantly knocking the Clubian's head military out.
Instantly, Matthew threw a pocket dagger at the King, missing, but for the mask of intimidation.
"I think this calls for a duel, between Queens." Arthur snickered, moving his body elegantly to dodge the opposing Queen's magic, yet attacking on his own.
The King was furious, glaring at the Spadian Ace.
Ivan drew his sword, charging at Matthew.
The Ace, skilled in fighting, topped with the Jack, made it fair game. Matthew weaved around the King, knocking an elbow beneath his arm, knocking into a pressure point, temporarily disabling an arm.
The Clubian King turned to his Queen, who was in obvious distress, "Run! I'll take Natalya-"
Yao shoved the Clubian King back, away from the King, who dropped his sword, and took the unconscious Ace and ran out of the throne room.
Matthew turned to his brother, Arthur already tending to him, "Is he alright?"
Matthew and Yao were out of breath, while Arthur barely shed a sweat during the fight.
"Yes, he'll be fine. Though, when me and Yao left to find you, we abandoned the guards because we couldn't see the Ace. They might still be in trouble." Arthur said, propping the King up while tending to him.
"I'll go check up on them." The Jack said, hurrying off with his wok.
"I'll go make sure the King is really running," The Ace said, turning to leave, but stopped behind Yao.
"No need, they're gone." A member of the royal family, with his clothes rather messy, Leon, appeared.
"Aiyaa, look at you!" The Jack started brushing down Leon's clothes and hair, which left a face on Leon between annoyance and his regular, emotionless one.
