Chapter 107 Drave

• "I want one group at the castle’s flank. Another at the back gate. I know there are soldiers stationed here and here," I inform, pointing to the castle map spread before us. The glowing markings highlight every critical point of the perimeter. The war room is bathed in a cold light, cut by the greenish glow of monitors showing live drone footage of the capital. "We’ll drop the bombs here and neutralize this section. Any questions?"
• The soldiers stand in formation before me, impeccably uniformed and armed. Each of them radiates determination, their gazes hard and unwavering. The sound of boots clicking against the floor silences the faint murmur of voices, and the quiet that follows confirms their full attention on the plan.
• "No, Majesty!" they reply in unison, their voices firm and echoing through the room. A surge of pride courses through me, warm and powerful. They’re ready to give their all, to fight for me, for what we believe in, down to their last breath.
