Chapter 16 Crown Of Redemption

• Seraphina's POV
• "The southern forces have surrendered," a messenger reported as he entered the main hall. "Victory is ours thanks to the strategies we followed."
• I sat at the long table with my wound still bandaged and listened to the reports. The war had ended in our favor. Relief washed over me but it came mixed with heavy thoughts about what came next. Lucian stood at the head of the table giving orders to secure the borders and tend to the wounded. His eyes kept returning to me throughout the meeting.
