ARAYAH’S POV.As the sun began to set, I found myself lost in the pages of a book, my mind wandering to the upcoming meeting with the council. I had always been nervous around them, and today was no different. But I knew that I had to be ready and well-prepared if I wanted to make a good impression.I jotted down a few notes in my journal, trying to organize my thoughts and prepare myself for any possible questions or scenarios that might arise during the meeting. The more I wrote, the more confident I began to feel, and soon enough, I was lost in my own world, scribbling away.When the clock struck four, I snapped out of my daze and began to prepare for the meeting. I took a quick bath, using my favorite lavender-scented soap and scrubbing my skin clean. I carefully chose a modest dress, one that I felt was appropriate for such an occasion, and combed my hair neatly.As I finished getting dressed, I could feel my heart racing with anticipation. I knew that this meeting could potentia

AMAREUX'S POV.I jolted awake to the sound of heavy knocking at my door. Rubbing my eyes to dispel the remnants of sleep, I pulled myself out of bed and quickly made my way to the door. Upon opening it, I saw my Beta, Aiden, standing before me, his face tense and serious."What's going on?" I asked, my voice still heavy with sleep."Prince, some rogues have been killed at the boundary. The generals needs your presence to discuss what will be done about them," Aiden replied, his voice low and urgent.I felt a surge of anxiety wash over me as I heard this news. The rogue attacks had been escalating lately, and now it seemed as though they had made a direct assault on the boundary. I quickly dressed, slipping on my boots and cloak, and followed Aiden to the council chambers.As we walked, my mind raced with thoughts of what might have happened. Had the rogues launched a coordinated attack? Were they growing more organized? I knew that I had to stay focused and clear-headed if I was going

As I sat on the patio, enjoying the sun and sipping on some lemonade, I heard a soft knock at the door. When I opened it, I found the Duchess standing there, smiling warmly at me."Good afternoon, Arayah," she greeted me."Good afternoon, Your Grace," I replied, bowing my head respectfully."I hope I'm not disturbing you," she said."No, not at all," I assured her."Good. I was hoping to have a chat with you and Meredith," she said, looking around."I'll go get her," I said, getting up from my seat.As I walked inside, I could hear the Duchess complimenting the decor of our little house. I smiled, knowing how much work we had put into it."Hey, Meredith," I said, walking into her room."Hey, what's up?" she asked, putting her book aside."The Duchess is here to see us," I said, with a grin.Meredith's face lit up. "Really? Let's go!"We both walked out to the patio, where the Duchess was waiting for us."Good afternoon, Your Grace," Meredith greeted her, with a curtsy."Good afternoon

ARAYAH'S POV.I woke up the next morning feeling anxious and restless. The events of the previous day kept replaying in my head and I knew I had to confront Meredith. I couldn't afford to let her report me to the Prince, I had to make her understand the gravity of the situation. So, I got up early and spent a considerable amount of time preparing myself for the confrontation. I dressed in my best attire, putting on a simple yet elegant white dress that accentuated my curves. I also took extra time with my makeup, trying to look as appealing as possible, hoping that it would work to my advantage.After I was done, I took a deep breath and made my way to Meredith's room. I hesitated for a moment before knocking softly, hoping she wouldn't be too angry with me. When she finally opened the door, she was speaking with someone, a young girl I had never seen before. I stepped inside, hoping to speak with Meredith, but she surprised me when she asked me to wait outside. I could hear their muf

As I sat in my office, I awaited the arrival of my commanders, each of whom brought with them a unique set of skills and expertise that would be essential to protecting our kingdom. The first to arrive was Commander Li, a tall and imposing figure with a sharp gaze and a no-nonsense attitude. He had fought in countless battles and had a reputation for being a fierce warrior on the battlefield.Next to enter was Commander Jarek, a man with a rugged exterior that belied his sharp intellect and cunning mind. He had a knack for strategy and was often the one responsible for developing the plans that we would use to outmaneuver our enemies.Lastly, Commander Reva entered the room, her lithe frame and piercing eyes marking her as a force to be reckoned with. She had a calm and collected demeanor, but beneath her calm exterior lay a fierce determination and an unyielding will.As they sat down in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. These were the people I had been waiting
