Novel & Cerita Silent War Kingdom

There's something fragile about how quiet the room is. My phone rings. Timothy. I watch the name blink on the screen, and my fingers tap the green button before I can stop myself. His voice comes through the speaker, too high and yet so soft, “I miss you alrea—” I press the red button so fast, my fingers trembling. My father coughs, a sharp sound that makes my blood run cold.

Mara glowed and ripped the view away. “What was that?” Jonas replied deadly. ‘Forget’. Silence. “Not memory.” His voice trembled. “The opposite.” The boy closed his eyes. “We called it silence.” The name seemed to darken the air itself. The city besieged. Lyra whispered: “Don’t speak his name.”

Warriors, elders, nobles—everyone stood frozen, as if the slightest movement might break whatever invisible force had just taken hold of the room. Then— Silas moved. Fast. His hand closed around my arm, unyielding, pulling me slightly behind him. The motion was sharp, instinctive, territorial—like he was shielding something valuable.

She held my hand, urging His Majesty to bring my marriage forward because she feared I would regret this. His Majesty looked pleased, too. He and my husband-to-be, Gideon Swain, were blood brothers.

If anything happens to you—”“And if anything happens to you, this kingdom falls,” he shot back.His voice wasn’t angry. Just real. True.He wasn’t wrong.But I didn’t intend to sit back and let others bleed for me, either.“I go too,” Sora said. “I know the tunnels best. My father used them during the rogue wars.”Hale grunted. “Then I’m your hammer.
