Book 10: Chapter 25
Ling Yue said to pretend it never happened, so I guess I’ll pretend it never happened, then.
I had to admit, that punk Philes was somewhat useful. A bouquet of flowers really did cheer up Ling Yue. She cheerfully placed it into a flower vase and looked at the flower petals with joy. She finally returned to living in my tent after fighting with me for a few days. I was relieved, because I wasn’t willing to be distracted with looking after her when we need to march.
“Your Majesty, this is the Galadriel’s reply.”
‘That’s an express delivery for you.’
I received a reply by the second day. I opened the letter and could virtually smell the smell of metal being cut. I guessed Lorana wrote me a reply.
‘Ah, this reply is as simple as I thought it’d be.’
She probably grabbed a pen nearby, and wrote a few letters without even using a new sheet of paper. She just flipped the letter I wrote over and wrote in large letters: “Soon.”
Yes, just one word.
I placed the letter down, hopelessly and looked at Philes, who was awaiting my order. I cleared my throat then gave my command, “Make the preparations; tell everyone that we will prepare to attack the North in three days. We must gain control of an area in the shortest time possible, and set up a small camp to stop the enemy’s charge!”
