ALORA EMBRY

"You need to control your anger, Alora." I didn't answer my brother and I hear him sigh. He followed me outside and was ready to lecture me like Damien. "Alora." There was a warning in his voice and I look at him.

"What?" and since the war and he owe me one, I have now the guts to turn my back on my brother. Brother Kaden whom I was scared of since I was a kid.

"You didn't hear what I said?" I sighed and slightly bow my head.

"I hear it, I just can't take their attitude that is why I almost kill them."

"Another excuse, don't do that again."

"I will try." He glare at me and I nodded. "I will not do that again, promise!"

"Come with me." I follow my brother and ride on a horse. I take a look at the Army of Wren and sighed.

"Where did they get that large army?"

"We are thinking that they asked for help?"

"Or clones, so we will get overwhelmed by their number." I was surprised when Leo suddenly appeared behind us, I didn't hear him coming.

"Can't we ask for another backup? there are still numerous knights at the capital."

"They were protecting the palace." I rolled my eyes; the Imperial family was useless. They were huge baggage that we needed to bring, they only want their own safety.

"I know what you were thinking. They were holding us back, right? Well, we can't do anything about that. There is a possibility that they attack the palace using their mage."

"Our family was there... our Professor Lydia and Professor Erika the heads of the Department of Magic."

"They will feel secure when they were fully surrounded."

"I get it now."

"We need to come up with a plan on how to uncover the truth about those knights. I was betting that they were just clones."

"Clones or not they can still harm us. What if they were being controlled by that mage?"

"So, you don't have any plans since I arrived?"

"We already did plan but there is a missing piece."

"Lord Leo was right, if our meeting was not interrupted then we will discuss the plan that we brainstorm." I look at these two serious men in front of me.

They were working together, eh?

"Plan another meeting and let me hear that, I would also like to add something."

"Yes, that would be great. For now, let's watch their movements."

The enemies of us are just standing there and we do not notice anything, when it was about lunch we go back to base and eat. I saw the tent was already fixed and they were being silent today. We continue to monitor them for days and we received a letter that the port was finally free.

The knights that were appointed in the port came to the borders after a week. And they were complete.

"It was nice to see you again, My Lady."

"It was also a pleasure My Lord, I was glad that they already stopped attacking the port."

"Worry not, if they happen to attack again we will be immediately summoned there." I nod and also greet Matteo and Damien.

"My Lady."

"Sup."

"It was also nice to see you again, My Lords."
