"Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st

Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for

My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to

A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

"Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou

The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g

The evening before our departure, I was preparing in my room. The baggage had been pre-checked and consisted of small souvenirs.Kevin bought a little duplex flat there with a view of the Great River when you opened the window.I don't like living in a big house. He joked that I didn't live a rich life since I married into a privileged family and didn't know how to enjoy it.I told him to enjoy himself and that he didn't have to pry into my small quilt if he didn't want to.He bullied me, yanked me up, and threw me on the bed, stating that the kitten was becoming bad.I purposefully tugged his shirt with my toes. "Would you like to give it a shot?""I have sharp teeth but my body is soft..."His gaze was fierce, and it lingered a few times on my waist, telling me to behave appropriately.Why should I be proper if the night would be long?"Sir..." I squatted and walked over to him, nibbling his chin and holding to his neck. " You're not capable? Are you sterile?""Sir" was fantastic.I

I was anticipating him to pounce on me... and praying he would.I knew deep down how much I craved his touch, but I was reluctant to show it for fear of upsetting him.But he responded calmly. "Because you will feel uneasy. And it's not good for your health," he held me desperately."I would like to break you, but I'm not ready. Good things are most beautiful when they're broken."I didn't exactly understand what he said. I'm too tired.But that's fine. I didn't hear it, so I'm going to interpret it as "I love you."…Summer has come and gone. A few droplets of rain fell and then the air became suddenly frigid.Adam's exhibition took place at the beginning of November. Before leaving, Kevin gave me a pair of knitted gloves to wear. When I put on my clothes, I noticed that the brooch was a pair and that his tie and my bow tie were the same colour."I'm powerless to stop myself. My little rose is too charming," He remarked as he kissed the back of my ear. "There will be a lot of young,

I was still surprised by Adam's feelings for Nora, so I didn't hesitate to tell Kevin about it before heading to bed."I don't think it's unexpected," he said as he encircled me from behind to blow dry my hair."Why?""What happened isn't uncommon since fate is irrational."He talked as if he hadn't said anything. "At first glance, Nora appears to be difficult to pursue." I raised my head and rubbed his face with my half-wet hair."You're also difficult to catch." Kevin bowed his head and kissed my brow. "It's also hard to raise.""At one point, something always goes wrong, as if somebody is worried I'll be too healthy." I exhaled a sigh.Kevin sighed as well, helpless. "At my age, I watch you in anxiousness every day, and if I continue to do so, either good or bad things will startle me sooner or later."I was filled with remorse. "You can't hold it against me...""I don't blame you." He put me into the quilt after blow-drying my hair. "I'm sorry, I discovered myself a little teenage

Kevin did not respond right away. After a while, he looked down at me and said, "It wasn't that I don't want to, it is indeed that I am frightened.""I am worried you will realize that he actually loves you and is willing to abandon his old personality in order to become a better individual for you."His hand caressed my cheeks."I said I wouldn't let you go again, and I won't give you freedom again, but if..."He didn't seem to be able to speak further, so I completed the remainder of the lines for him in my head.—If you really want to start over with him, I'll allow you."Liar." I took his hand with my uninjured hand, grasped his hand fiercely, and nipped it hard."Saying this after saying you will love me forever and never leave me again. Liar."Kevin was unexpectedly bitten. He didn't say anything, but his countenance was clearly perplexed.After biting, I started to regret it again. I appeared to have used too much force. My teeth left such a significant mark.Will he mistake me

"There is one thing I didn't mention to you. In truth, your cooking isn't particularly appetizing."Alvin suddenly shifted the subject, even laughing.But I have always let you cook since I prefer looking at your scuffed hands."I understand Kevin isn't like me. He would love and care for you, whilst I am a jackass who only wants to watch you weep.""You made the correct decision by leaving me."I had no idea why he would be telling me this."I'm well aware that my cooking isn't particularly tasty. I'm always disappointed when you eat so little every time."Now that I was talking about the past, it felt like a dream."I've tried countless times, but I just can't seem to get it right. I'm using the same ingredients and processes, but I just can't get it to taste well."After talking, he stated, "Leave it... when you like someone, you can't wait to show him the entire universe. It's because I didn't quite understand it earlier and felt you didn't really love me enough.""It's amusing t

He asked if I was alright and that the stairs had been blown up and the only route was now lost, which I vaguely remembered hearing from my hazy consciousness.As the fire became hotter and the smoke thicker, Alvin claimed he sought a helicopter, but the structure was too small and tight for it to land."First, wait by the window." He gave instructions.As a result of the fire, roof tiles fell from time to time. Kevin's arms protected me. They both moved slowly since they needed to avoid falling rubble on their heads and keep a close eye out for unforeseen fires.When the hollow shaft collapsed to the floor, I instinctively reached out to shield Kevin.A single stroke should be enough for the scorching metal to scorch the skin of my palm into a blackened pulp, and the agony caused me to sob.It hurts ten times as much as a cigarette burn...Kevin and Alvin both exclaimed, "Jill!" at the same time. I'd never heard them yell at me with such intensity.I tried to act normal, but all I co
