Arifa hesitated, weighing the risks. Zaraw's words dripped with venom, but the promise of power was tantalizing.

"What do you propose?" Arifa asked, his voice cautious.

" Werza Kingdom will declare war on Eliana's Realm," Zaraw outlined. "Meanwhile, I'll manipulate key officials, sowing discord from within."

Arifa's eyes narrowed. "And what's your gain in this?"

Zaraw's smile glinted in the moonlight. "I'll be the puppet master, controlling the strings. You'll be the public face, the conqueror."

The alliance was forged, bound by ambition and deceit.

In Eliana's Realm, whispers spread of Werza's military buildup. Eliana's advisors urged her to act, but she sought proof.

A young spy, Lyra, volunteered to infiltrate Werza Kingdom. Eliana agreed, knowing the risks.

Lyra navigated Werza's castle, avoiding guards and gathering intel. She overheard Arifa's generals discussing the impending war.

But Lyra wasn't the only spy. Zaraw's agents lurked, watching her every move.
