At this moment, a soldier reported: "Great Master, Her Majesty has arrived!"
"Let her in!" the Great Master waved her hand and said.
"Yes!" The soldier immediately nodded, then turned and left. Shortly after, the Queen, dressed in a black robe and accompanied by several guards, hurriedly entered. Worry was etched on her face. Upon seeing the Great Master, she immediately asked, "Yanzi, in the recent battle, did we lose over ten thousand lives?"
"Indeed!" Yanzi nodded.
"So many died?" Her Majesty exclaimed and then said, "Why did this happen?"
"How can there be no deaths in war?" The Great Master suddenly stood up with a swish and said, "Casualties are inevitable, especially now when our troops' morale is declining. It's normal for such things to occur!"
