Chapter 21

• Forest's pov
• "Well, Forest, it's the category you chose yourself. If you are afraid it will be too difficult, speak up. I will explain the situation and retract my command," the King urged.
• His words might have sounded innocent to the uninformed, but I knew better. He was calling me a coward. He knew what the war had done to me—the trauma, the way I lost control when I fought. Yet, he chose to push me into this situation in front of all these people.
