I just went back to check comments on the book and I saw a lot of you guys pointing out that chapter Nine and Ten are exactly the same. I wouldn't have known if not for the comments (so comment more), so I'm sorry and I'm getting Webnovel to fix the issue.
Lucian's Pov
Ten dead. Ten trained warriors, gone.
I couldn't stop thinking about it. No matter how many reports I read, how many times I reviewed the logistics, their route, the names of those who fell… it still didn't sit right.
And Kael—Kael was the only one who came back.
That should have been a relief. At least they didn't all die. But It didn't sit right with me that he was the one to survive. Not a single trained defense survived? Not even someone wounded, crawling, gasping? Just Kael, breathing just enough to stay relevant.
It felt like blood covering a lie.
