Chapter 40: Traitor's Reckoning
The traitor's betrayal sent shockwaves through the royal army. Andrew's eyes narrowed, his mind racing to identify the turncoat.
Lily, her heart still reeling from Lord Thomas's fall, stood firm beside him. Together, they rallied their forces, refusing to yield.
The traitor, revealed as Lord Ravenswood, sneered at Andrew. "You're a weak king, unfit to rule."
Andrew's sword flashed in the sunlight, his strike swift and deadly. Lord Ravenswood fell, his treachery punished.
But the damage was done. Rebel forces surged forward, exploiting the momentary chaos.
Queen Helena, determined to protect her grandchildren, dispatched a secret guard to escort Kaida and Aiden to safety.
As the battle raged on, Andrew and Lily found themselves surrounded. Lord Rodale's triumphant cry echoed across the battlefield.
But Andrew refused to yield. With Lily by his side, he launched a final, desperate counterattack.
Their love and loyalty would decide the kingdom's fate. Would they prevail, or would Lord Rodale's ambition destroy everything they held dear?
