Chapter Title: Stands UnshakenVivian's POVThe scent of wine and victory hung thick in the air of Nelson's lavish estate. I leaned back in my chair, swirling the red beverage in my glass as I watched Nelson across the room. He stood at the tall windows, looking out over the city like a king surveying his kingdom.A slow smile crept onto my lips. "You look like a man who's already won."Nelson half-turned, his dark eyes gleaming with victory. "That's because I have."I let out a low laugh, raising my glass. "Then I suppose this calls for a celebration."He walked over to the bar and poured himself a drink. "Simeon and Lily think they're ready. They think they've planned enough to take us down." He took a drink, his expression unreadable. "But no matter what they do, no matter how clever they think they're being…" He turned fully to face me, a sneer on his lips. "They will always fail."I slowly released a sip of my wine, savoring the taste of victory before I set my glass back down on

The dark lighting created long shadows across his sharp face, and he seemed even more intense than usual. His jawline was clenched, eyes brooding in consideration.I knew what he was considering.The fight was imminent. The battle that would determine everything.Nelson and Vivian had believed they already won. They believed that no matter what we were going to do, we would not be able to depose them. But they were wrong.I sat forward, elbows on knees. "We can't afford to make errors, Simeon," I said, speaking firmly. "They're waiting for us to fail. They think we're weak."Simeon smiled brusquely, though there was no humor in his face. "Let them think so." He breathed deeply, raking back his black hair. "They have no conception of what's to come."His confidence made my skin crawl. I had seen Simeon fight. I had seen his strength, his power, his lethal precision.

Chapter Seventy Two: The Day of WarLily's POVThe sun had barely risen, but the air was heavy with tension. Today was the day. The day everything changed. The day we lost or won everything.I went to the window, watching as the first glimpse of dawn spread out across the sky, painting the horizon with hues of orange and red. It was practically poetic, like the world itself was setting the stage for the impending battle.Behind me, I heard the sound of footsteps echoing through the room. I did not need to turn to recognize that it was Simeon. His presence was one that I had grown accustomed to sensing without sound or vision—it was in the way the air shifted when he was near, the way my heart reacted to him even in the midst of the chaos that surrounded us."We're ready," he said, his voice even but determined.I turned to face him. He was a king heading into battle. His black suit was immaculately tailored, his broad shoulders squared, his piercing eyes icy and focused. But I could s

Chapter Seventy Three: BattleLily's POVThe moment had finally come.The battlefield stretched out before us, electric and waiting. Our soldiers waited behind us, attired and ready, faces set in determination. Nelson and Vivian's army opposite us waited mirror-like to ours. No words were needed. We all understood what lay in store.The wind was thick with the odor of metal and distant smoke of the explosions that already preceded the war. My hold on the handle of my sword tightened, and to my flank, Simeon did likewise.And in an instant, the silence was shattered.There was a crack of gunfire, and then the thunderous thunder of men charging at one another. The ground trembled beneath our feet as the two clashed, the clash of metal upon metal ringing in the air.I sidestepped as a sword came towards me. My attacker—a large man with a scarred face—wickedly smiled as he swung his sword once more, but I was faster. I dodged under the blow and ran my knife along the top of his thigh. He

Chapter Four: Battle - 2Lily's POVWe clashed again, blow for blow. Each punch we landed was driven by fury, pain, and the festering desire to end this war. Nelson raged like a beast—savage, unforgiving, relentless. But I was not weak. I was not the fragile girl he thought I was.I avoided his blow and bashed my elbow into his ribs. He groaned with pain, but before I could strike again, he struck back, kicking me hard in the stomach. I stumbled back, gasping for air. The coppery taste of blood was in my mouth, but I wiped my lips and again struck at him.Nelson was fast, but I was faster. I turned about at the last second, dodging his sword, and slashed my dagger across his thigh. He roared in pain, falling to one knee, but he still didn't go down."You're wearing thin, Lily," he snarled, gasping for air."Good," I growled. "Then I must be doing something right."I didn't have time to play around. I charged at her, determined to put this one to rest, but before I could strike, someth

Chapter Title: Escaping The FlamesSimeon's POVThe battlefield was a mess of blood, sweat, and broken weapons. The fight had gone on for too long, and both armies were exhausted. I could sense the burn in my muscles, the ache in my bones, but I wouldn't let up. I couldn't let up.Lily was beside me, gasping for breath. Her clothes were torn, her face smeared with dust and blood. She'd pushed herself hard, beyond her limits. I was proud of her, but I could also see that she was on the verge of collapse.Nelson and Vivian were a couple of feet away, gasping. Their wounds were deep, and they were exhausted from their bodies. They did not appear to be able to continue fighting anymore. Nelson staggered slightly, placing one hand on the side of his body where his shirt was smeared with blood. Vivian grasped her shoulder, her white face.Something strange then happened, though.Nelson glanced over at Vivian, and by not saying a word, she nodded. It was a small one, nearly undetectable. I a

My head throbbed, and even breathing took effort.I attempted to talk, to tell Simeon not to leave me alone, but the words refused to leave my mouth. My throat was dry, my body depleted.Simeon sat beside me, his brow furrowed in concern. "Lily, hear me. We cannot stay here forever. Our men would have come by now, but they have not. Something is wrong."I blinked, my eyes straining to remain open. I wanted to signal my assent, but I couldn't.He pushed a hand through his messy hair and let out a sigh. "I need to go find someone—someone who can talk to our people. If I can get them to send a message, they'll fetch us."I gritted my teeth, suppressing the pain. My body screamed in protest, but I could move my head a little. I did not want him to leave.Simeon noticed my reaction and smiled weakly, strained.

The war had made its scars, and the ground stank with blood and smoke. But now there was silence.I walked slowly, my boots thudding into the ground, my body aching from wounds I had given. My side ached from where I had been struck previously, but I pushed it away. My thoughts were on the woman in front of me.Lily.She was lying still on the ground, her body lifeless, her breathing so faint it was barely noticeable. Her sharp and fierce eyes, which had been bright and blazing, were half-open, unfocused and dull. Her lips were slightly parted, but she didn't utter a word. She was too weak to even raise her head.A smile played on my lips as I folded my arms across my chest."So this is the great Lily?" I thought, my tone dripping with sarcasm. "The woman who promised she would never fall?"She didn't fl
