Chapter 15 - : 15 : Ivy Nightshade!
The murmur of the goblin civilians filled the air as they gathered, their eyes flickering with uncertainty and hope. Whispers spread like wildfire through the crowd.
"Is that the human we saw yesterday?"
"And the beast kin girl... she was disguised?!"
Luna and Aiden exchanged glances, realizing their magical camouflage had worn off without them noticing.
"If they’re this strong... then..."
"Could we finally be free from those wretched hobgoblins?"
Before the uncertainty could spread further, Lysandra stepped forward. The princess’s crimson eyes burned with determination as she clenched her fists.
"People of Grimclaw Kingdom!" she called out, her voice ringing with authority.
A hush fell over the crowd. Even Aiden, Luna, and Ivy turned to her, captivated.
Lysandra gestured toward Aiden, her expression proud. "This young man has saved us. His name is Aiden Nightshade. He made a promise—to defeat the hobgoblins and protect us!"
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
