(VERA’s POV)

I stood elegantly on the steps of the castle, casting out an observatory gaze over the sea of faces before me. They were my people, the people I had fought for, and they were cheering for me.

I felt a surge of pride and emotion as I looked out at them. I had never imagined that I would be hailed as a hero and a leader, but here I was. It all seemed like a deja vu as I had always envisaged moments like this since I was a little girl.

As I raised my hands to quiet the crowd, my eyes bored into a figure emerging foward. It was Marcus, one of the dogged rebel leaders who had helped me in my quest to defeat Sylvester, whom I knew I owed gratitude.

I never really got to speak to him all through our quest but I subconsciously observed the wit and undying determination he demonstrated throughout the emancipation and even at war.

I smiled, feeling a sense

The Tyguses had been using the land for farming, while the Lord Jakes had been using it for grazing their cattle, two simply paradoxically different purposes. As I listened to their arguments, and heard each person's point of view, I could sense the depth of their emotions. Both families had invested heavily in the land, and the thought of losing it was really unbearable.Lord Thomas Tygus, a tall, imposing figure with a strong jaw and piercing blue eyes, spoke first. "Your Majesty," he began, his voice deep and resonant. "We have been farming this land for generations. It is our livelihood, our heritage. We can not simply give it up. Letting go of this to the Jakes is like throwing away a treasure chest in the deep ocean"I nodded sympathetically, my eyes locked on his. "I understand your concerns, Lord Thomas," I said. "But Lord Jake also has a claim to the

Shall we send a team to investigate and deal with the situation?"I nodded, feeling a sense of concern and urgency. "Yes, please send a team immediately," I said. "We can't let these bandits disrupt our trade and commerce. And please, make sure that the team is well-equipped and prepared for any situation that may arise."Marcus nodded, and hurried off to assemble the team.
