At the eastern border of the kingdom of Hal, although the night seemed quiet and peaceful on the surface, the air seemed to carry the ominous undercurrents that were slowly unfolding, stifling the hearts of those who were waiting…. It didn’t matter which side they stood, what was certain was that they were all destined to have a restless night.

  • Second chance at happiness   He will keep trouble at bay till they arrive although I cannot guarantee diplomacy…

    “Do you think this princess is foolish enough to walk into enemy camp without sufficient preparation?”Gu Hei lowered his head further but still raised his concern “Princess, I am only concerned about your safety.”“The envoys accompanying me under the banner of court officials are all generals…” Princess sighed helplessly as she started to explain; she could see genuine concern in the commander’s eyes.“Also, my protector will be with me, only 1 step away.” She smiled comfortingly before resuming her arrogant façade “But that is not all, our men have infiltrated into their palace and will be lying dormant, awaiting my commands…. Tell me, commander, with these preparations, am I able to put your concerns to rest?”“It was my fault; I misspoke.” Gu Hei quickly knelt on the ground as he lowered his head, sighing inwardly in relief. He wasn’t sure if the last sentence was to comfort himself or whether it was implying that he had no faith in their imperial family.“Sigh! I wasn’t blaming

  • Second chance at happiness   Defeat that comes from within stings the worst

    “Princess, are you sure we should halt for negotiation?” He raised his head, gathering courage as he spoke “We have the advantage of numbers while they are still caught unprepared and we have already worn them down. Even though we are up against the Zumerongs, Zeke said that they are only half of what they used to be and with the added support, their odds against us are at least 1:50 and I am confident that our men can take them down.”“Don’t count your laurels swatting flies.” Warrior princess laughed scornfully “They are not worth our efforts.”She stood up and walked towards the centre table and sat down as she gestured Gu Hei to take a seat. She poured herself tea and took a sip before chiding “Don’t grit your teeth. Not all battles need to be fought on horseback, nor do victories have to written with blood.”“Defeat that comes from within stings the worst….” Her lips curled up cruelly as she traced the rim of her cup “Why should we expend the blood and sweat of our men when we ca

  • Second chance at happiness   Trickery is their forte

    “Lord commander….” Kenward called out as he noted the pensive look on his otherwise carefree young lord; he had just entered the tent with Gabriel.“That call for retreat….” Humphrey voiced his concern without hesitation; these were his trusted men.“What about it?” Gabriel asked, his face twisted in confusion; there was nothing out of the ordinary about the bugle call, it was a norm for battles that raged for days, at least not in his books…“Don’t you think that the call came too early?” Humphrey hooked his right brow as he turned his gaze towards Kenward.“They were not at a disadvantage although they lost quite a few men while we were nearing exhaustion…” Humphrey continued noting Kenward’s gaze that reflected silent reflection. “There was a chance that they could have turned the tides if they held on a little longer…”“Um….” Kenward hummed in agreement “The young commander of the east kingdom is very ambitious and would never retreat when he could gamble with the odds in his favo

  • Second chance at happiness   Battle at the Eastern border of Hal

    This was probably the worst decision that Gu Hei could have made; his intention was to distract the Zumerong, but it left him vulnerable. Although the Zumerongs had withdrawn from active politics and even left the country, they had never slacked in their training, nor had they deteriorated in their skills. As always, they were in their best form.As the bloody battle progressed, Gu Hei’s original confidence had also begun to waiver. In the beginning, although he knew that Zumerong forces were formidable, he was confident winning the battle, he even smugly thought that he could carve a space for himself in history with his victory over the undefeated forces of the Zumerongs.His confidence was not without reason; in his mind, the Zumerongs who had been in exile, scattered without a master should have long foregone their former battle prowess and glory. However, reality struck him hard in the face; not only were they in their best form, even their strategy was flawless. It seemed like t

  • Second chance at happiness   The Lion has fallen, although the cubs have come out to play....

    The eagle’s cry had not only alerted Humphrey and his men but also Samuel as this was the secret signal that Humphrey had passed on to him when they met a few hours earlier. He quickly gathered both his and the normal soldiers stationed at the border to take their battle-ready positions.He positioned himself at the highest vantage point as he surveyed the situation outside; even under the cloak of darkness, he could see the cloud of trouble that was rolling towards them at an astonishing speed.He was about to give the order to his men to release a warning strike when Dexter, the man who was his next in command in Ivan’s absence hurried over and informed “Knight Commander, there is a wall of men positioned in front of the gate, forming a human wall ….” He scratched his head and mumbled “I am unable to decipher if they are friend or foe….”“I am not sure if they are defending us or awaiting their orders.” He continued to mumble.Samuel looked down and from his position he could see th

    At the eastern border of the kingdom of Hal, although the night seemed quiet and peaceful on the surface, the air seemed to carry the ominous undercurrents that were slowly unfolding, stifling the hearts of those who were waiting…. It didn’t matter which side they stood, what was certain was that they were all destined to have a restless night.In one of the tents that seemed inconspicuous from the outside but luxurious inside, showing the identity of the owner, a man dressed in black robe knelt before a man who was dressed in a luxurious robe, portraying his identity as a wealthy merchant from the east. However, if one looked closely, it was not hard to see the armour beneath.“Commander, there are a lot more travellers tonight.”“So?”“If the signal were to ignite tonight and we were to take action, there would be many casualties.”“That is on them…. What’s it got to do with us?” Commander, Gu Hei shrugged feigning indifference.“But they are merchants…. commoners from other countri
