Chapter 335 - 334. Shifting Tides (2)
Two days after Roger had given me the task of locating Alys, he sent another message, this time requesting that I escort her somewhere safe—somewhere no one would ever find her.
It was almost too easy. I simply informed him that she had been taken to Mordino, a place where she would be well cared for, far from prying eyes. Roger didn’t ask for proof, didn’t question my words. He trusted me enough to accept my statement without hesitation.
After that, I found myself waiting. The immediate tasks had been handled, leaving only the war looming before me. The tides were shifting, the pieces moving as they should. I already knew the end result; it was merely a matter of time before everything fell into place.
Eric and Rune had been pushing forward relentlessly, carving their names into history with every battle they fought. And Davian... Davian had become something else entirely. His name was now carried on the wind, spoken in awe and fear alike. "The Beast of the Battlefield"—that was what they called him.
I wasn’t surprised. This was exactly as I had expected. Given enough time, he would carve his own path to power, his own legend. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess would undoubtedly be proud of their son, watching as he rose through the ranks with unshakable momentum.
Eric and Rune were no less remarkable.
Eric, once known as the Shadow Prince—a title given to him in the days when he stood alone, shrouded in uncertainty—had now claimed a new name. The Prince of Flames. A fitting title, given how he had ignited the battlefield with his sheer will and skill.
My brother, Rune, carried his own weight with effortless grace. They called him The Prince of Frost—a reflection of his icy precision and unshakable composure.
The people adored them, eager to see these two princes rise above expectations, proving themselves not just as warriors, but as symbols of strength and resilience.
I couldn’t say it out loud, but deep down, I was proud of them.
At this moment, however, I had more pressing matters to attend to.
