Chapter 61

War is always ruthless. Shred with blood, boundless death, and an endless cry of agony. A never-ending pain with overflowing tears and thousands of life sacrifices.

I have told myself many times that I was born a warrior princess. Gazelians are born fighters; we never hold back for what we believe in, and we'll fight for it no matter what happens. But I never wanted war, I never wanted a blood bath, and I never wanted death.

I have faced various kinds of war many times during my time on this earth, but never once did I think that the opportunity would come that I myself would ignite another global war.

I could hear the endless firing of cannons, the noise of arrows flying from different directions, the violent footsteps of horses, and the striking of so many weapons against each other.

I'm losing too much blood, and my body is slowly getting weaker. Despite my weakness, I could feel the arms of the second prince of Deltora as he kept calling my name.
