"I can't believe they did this. How dare they? Was their intention to kill her?!" I hear Father complain, and my eyes shut tighter.
"This is an invitation to war, Father. They've asked for war. I will prepare our army for battle when we get back. They must pay!" I hear Veylira's unmistakable voice, and my eyes fly open.
"Seraphina will support us, too. Through our union with the Sun kingdom, we would have a strong enough army to wipe out Blood Crescent. Plus, the favours we can milk from a few of the other kingdoms." She continues, and my heart skips a beat.
I just woke up, and the first thing I'm hearing is Veylira's plans for war. She's talking so gingerily about it, I know she's not bluffing. She's actively making plans, I know she intends to execute.
"We will lay waste to Blood Crescent!" She adds, and I try to move, but pain snarls at me so loudly, I find myself pressed back against the bed. Unable to move even an inch.
