Chapter 313: Ch 313: Prepare for War - Part 2
As Kyle finished checking the last of the maps laid out on his desk, he felt the faintest shift in the air—a presence slipping into his office like a whisper.
He didn’t look up. Instead, he continued moving pieces across the map, his fingers brushing over miniature models of camps and supply lines.
The soundless step approached him from behind, soft, deliberate.
When the figure was close enough, Kyle struck.
In a blink, he turned and caught the approaching person by the wrist, twisted their arm, and swept their legs, pinning them to the floor in a single, fluid motion.
His eyes scanned the figure quickly—and then widened slightly in recognition.
"...Silvy?"
The silver-haired elf girl, now pinned under him, gave him a sheepish, almost pained wave.
"Hi, Kyle. Nice to see you too."
He blinked again before sighing and letting go of her wrist. Silvy sat up, rubbing her arm, and muttered.
"Still sharp as ever."
