[KAWAI]
King Zaffuto knew he had to be the leader who had not been seen for a while. He had to decide the fate of everyone, and he couldn't let the past repeat itself. That was too high a price to pay for the present.
Maybe he was overthinking it all, or maybe he was trying to make peace with something that shouldn't have been happening again, but then there was no time for skewed chances, and time was also running out.
The king knew it so well.
He had expected it for months and years.
He was aware that there was only so much he could do to buy time back then, and frankly, regrets were not part of it all, which was why he was not surprised at the invasion, but he had not wanted it to happen when his son was here.
That, too, was something that Zaffuto hated to the core.
But he would fix it.
Gods, he would make it all right.
He would make sure Kawai was the home his son thrived in, not fought endless battles in.
