With a heavy heart, he pondered the futility of his actions, a sense of frustration gnawing at his core.
'What purpose do my efforts serve?' he mused silently, leaning back against the plushness of his pillow as he grappled with the weight of his emotions.His jaw clenched and his frustration gave way to a resigned acceptance of his reality.
'In return, what would I get? Perhaps nothing more than a simple "thank you" and the semblance of friendship.'
A sense of desolation washed over him, the realization sinking in that his efforts may yield little in the way of tangible reward.
Yet, despite the looming uncertainty, he knew that the die had been cast, and the imminent arrival of dawn heralded the onset of war.
"All the knights have been meticulously informed on the formations and are diligently preparing, Your Majesty," Felix stated with unwavering resolve, his gaze unwavering as he relayed their readiness. "We've ensured that our most skilled warriors are strategically conecealed in the east."
Claude nodded thoughtfully, taking a sip of his tea as Felix provided further details on their war preparations. Setting down his cup with a deliberate motion, he addressed Felix again.
"Ensure that every detail is attended to before the appointed hour arrives."
Observing the emperor's composed demeanor, Felix couldn't help but feel a twinge of bewilderment.
