Chapter 41: Turning the Tide
Andrew and Lily's counterattack caught Lord Rodale's forces off guard. Their swords sliced through the rebels, reclaiming lost ground.
Venus, Lord Rodale's daughter, clashed with Lily, their blades locked in a fierce duel.
"You'll never win," Venus spat.
Lily's eyes blazed. "For my family, I'll fight to the end."
Just as Venus gained the upper hand, Kaida and Aiden, hidden nearby, witnessed their mother's struggle.
The siblings sprang into action. Aiden distracted Venus, while Kaida helped Lily regain her footing.
Together, the family fought as one, their bond unbreakable.
Andrew, sensing victory within reach, rallied his troops. The tide of the battle began to shift.
Lord Rodale, enraged by his daughter's defeat, charged toward Andrew.
But Queen Helena intervened, her own sword drawn. "You will not harm my son."
The queen's bravery inspired her soldiers, who redoubled their efforts.
Lord Rodale's rebels began to falter, their leader's fury turning to desperation.
As the dust settled, Andrew stood victorious, Lord Rodale at his mercy.
"What will you do with me?" Lord Rodale sneered.
Andrew's gaze met Lily's, his heart filled with a sense of justice.
"That's for the queen to decide."
The fate of Lord Rodale, and the kingdom's future, hung in the balance.
