Chapter 244

This plan had been in motion long before my father’s death. David had been orchestrating this all along.

The fighting came to a sudden halt, an eerie stillness descending over the battlefield. Enemy warriors parted in disciplined lines, clearing a path. I knew what it meant-their leaders were approaching.

My body tensed, and I reached out with my magic, ensuring I was ready to act at a moment’s notice.

Despite the destruction, I took some solace in knowing we had evacuated most of Redcape’s civilians in time.

The casualties would’ve been far higher otherwise. Martha had been my driving force behind the evacuation. Ensuring her safety had motivated me to prioritize the lives of the innocent.
