EPILOGUE 1

Alora didn't finish the celebration and immediately head back to their manor to get her things. After she bid farewell to her family, she traveled to Wren using a carriage together with Arlene for half a month. As they arrived at the Kingdom of Wren, she was welcomed by the ladies there and the appointed Woman that will help her assist all of them.

"I greet and welcome Commander Alora. I am Julia and will assist you through your stay at your palace."

"Did you already gather all the ladies and children at the ballroom?"

"Yes, Commander."

"Good, I want to go into my room first and then I will face them."

"Gladly Commander, please follow me."

The Palace was now well decorated because the Emperor ordered them to make preparations, they throw the unnecessary things and put in new things. When Alora got into her room, she surveyed it and nod at the appearance of it, when Julia saw that she softly sigh because of relief and leave them for a minute. As she change her dress Alora ordered Arlene to arrange her things while the ladies and children that were gathered at the ballroom were scared to face Alora.

They have been like that since Julia announce to them that there will be a new owner of the palace and they will be under her and the moment Alora face them they sighed in relief. They've seen that face before and they were thinking of her as one of their saviors.

"We greet the Commander."

Everyone bowed their heads to Alora as soon as she enter the ballroom.

There is still a faint feeling of getting scared of her because they don't completely know her plus her emotionless face gives them a hint that she was a strict person. They gulped hard and wanted to run away.

"First there is nothing to be scared of, even though your kingdom was lost only the male knights that were captured are the ones that were sent to Levan to be slaves. They will pay for the sin of waging war on us..."

Everyone listened carefully to her and they nod at the end.

"Amusing, I bet that the knights that we killed and the ones that captured alive will become slaves are your family, your brother, father, your uncle perhaps, husband or your sons. But to see that there is no emotion at all in your face, why is that?"

"Commander."

A lady suddenly opened her mouth and speak Alora look at her and survey her.

"Continue..."

"Thank you! You are right Commander they are our family. But since they abused us, not giving us the right to speak for ourselves. Sell us to someone, use force on us... we loathed them. Their sins will not be paid off by their deaths, actually, they don't deserve to die they deserve to be tortured. We just wanted to be safe far from them..."

She clenched her fists and sighed. There is no room for sympathy because they only want their safety. Just thinking of those men makes them clench their teeth and when they closed their eyes it gives them nightmares.

"And what is your name?"

"Lune, Commander."

"Lune, everyone in here you've already stripped off from your titles and will be all commoners. Your house and wealth were now at our Emperor did you already know that?"

"Yes, Commander."

"Are you all still grateful? Are you all not holding a grudge against us, you were robbed. I want to hear your opinions."
