Duke Halden puffed up, trying to recover the old bravado. “So what? The Empire may be distracted, but we are Lone Star! Aeternum is nothing compared to our might. We only need rally more banners, conscript more men—”

“More men?” General Marrec’s voice cracked with disbelief. “I watched our knights crumble under storms of fire. I saw our vanguard pinned like cattle in a slaughterhouse. Ten more regiments would only mean ten more mass graves. If we march more men into that cursed ravine, we are not reinforcing them—we are feeding them to wolves!”

The chamber erupted in shouts. Nobles jeered at the general, accusing him of cowardice. Others whispered anxiously, their faith shaken. The king sat silent on his throne, face red with fury, but eyes betraying something else.

Fear.

That night, when the nobles had dispersed and the hall lay empty, King Veyran remained alone, staring at the lion carved into his throne.

For the first time, the thought gnawed at him: What if I was wrong?

    For a moment, silence. Then Alessia herself spoke from the corner of the room, voice cool and composed.“He is correct.” Her crimson eyes glinted in the candlelight. “My soldiers fight in shadow, and they do not question it. They do not need to. When the time comes, the world will know who broke Lone Star.”Bina exhaled slowly, then gave a short, reluctant nod.By evening, the message was ready. Broadcast from the Cabinet Hall to every street and household in Aeternum, the news anchor stood tall, delivering the polished report:“Today, Aeternum forces at the Wasteland border engaged and repelled an enemy probing force from the Kingdom of Lone Star. The conflict, while limited in scope, ended in Aeternum’s favor. Our soldiers remain steadfast, our borders secure, and our resolve unbroken. President Mies has assured the people this conflict shall end with Aeternum’s victory, but until then, he calls for vigilance, unity, and patience.”The nation erupted in cheers nonetheless. Taverns r

    We can’t move. We can’t see. The smoke burns my eyes, my ears are ringing, and the ground shakes every few seconds.They’re everywhere. You hear gunfire, and then one of ours just… drops. No warning. No duel. No glory.I see a shadow moving through the haze—tall, pale eyes like cold fire—and then pain blooms in my chest. The world goes black before I can even swing my sword.By the third hour, the Vanguard no longer existed as a fighting unit. Clusters of survivors tried to surrender, but in the chaos, few could make themselves heard over the gunfire.Bina’s voice came over the comms: “Collapse the perimeter. I want the entire ravine under our boots in fifteen minutes.”Aeternum’s troops obeyed like a single organism. The flanks folded inward, cutting down anyone who resisted. Alessia’s division formed the inner ring, securing prisoners and ensuring none escaped.When the shooting stopped, the snow was a churned mess of crimson slush and shattered armor. Aeternum medics moved among th

    “North cleared up to grid C-7,” Bina reported.“West secured,” Alessia replied. “Suggest tightening the noose by forty meters. They’re running out of space to breathe.”“Do it. The longer they’re compressed, the faster they’ll break.”By the fourth hour, the ravine floor was a killing ground. Lone Star’s soldiers had no clear firing lines, no resupply, and no rest. Every movement brought fire from one direction or another. The snow had turned pink in places, the air thick with cordite and fear.Yet Bina didn’t order the final assault. Not yet. This was a slow suffocation, a demonstration. A message to every rival nation watching: Aeternum could take an entire army and crush it at leisure.Alessia’s division continued their night raids, appearing and vanishing without pattern. Bina’s main force rotated fresh units to the front every hour, never letting the pressure slip.By dawn, the Lone Star Vanguard was reduced to a shivering, sleepless mass—still alive, but no longer truly fighting

    Snow began to fall in thin, slanting lines. It dusted the helmets of the Eternal Night Division as they shifted positions again.A Lone Star captain screamed orders from somewhere below. He never finished. A single, clean shot punched through his throat, and he dropped without ceremony. The shouting in his company broke into incoherent yells.“Keep them pressed, but don’t break the line,” Alessia’s voice carried over the squad comms. “Remember—they cannot move forward or back. The moment they do, they die.”In the distance, faint but growing, came the low rumble of engines. It wasn’t thunder.From the lead troop carrier, Grand General Bina watched the black scar of the ravine grow in the moonlight. Her voice was calm, but her eyes blazed.“All units, final checks. When the green comes, we drop in waves. Secure the north rim first. Alessia has the south locked.”Her adjutant’s grin was wolfish. “They won’t even know where to shoot.”“That’s the idea.”The Lone Star soldiers were still

    “I mean to remove the wolf’s shield before it remembers we exist,” I replied.I let them digest it for a moment before I leaned forward, both hands flat on the table. “Understand this—debate is welcome in this room, but once I have spoken, it ends here. I am President of Aeternum, and the sole ruler of this nation. My decree is law, and my law is final.”Oliver’s jaw tightened, but he nodded. Andrea’s smirk deepened just slightly. Alessia’s bow was low and deliberate.“This,” I said, sweeping my hand over the map, “is not ambition for its own sake. It is the betterment of Aeternum. Every move, every order, every drop of blood spilled—ours and theirs—is to secure the future we have built. And when this war ends, Lone Star will be part of that future, whether its people like it or not.”No one spoke after that. They didn’t need to. The chain of intent was set, and it began—and would end—with me.The night over the ravine was a jagged thing—cut by shadows, stitched with the pale glow of
