"I'm so happy you're okay." Taehyung holds me close.

"But Chinua.." I shake my head. "She's gone."

"What do you mean?" Taehyung asks.

"She's... dead."

"Really?" Taehyung raises his brow. "Are you sure about that?"

"What? Why are you looking at me like that-"

He grabs my arm and leads me to a crowd of people who are surrounding someone.

Chinua is laying on a bed, and Erhi is holding her hand.

Taehyung explains. "She was stabbed brutally but it wasn't fatal. She may be unconscious for awhile but it's likely she will make it."

"Who saved her?"

Taehyung grins. "Erhi, of course."

Erhi's grip on Chinua's hand tightens. "I saw her fall on the building after she gave her amazing speech... Why does Chinua have to be so brave yet so stupid?"

Jimin looks at me. "I guess it runs in the family."

"If Chinua is okay... I can continue. I will fight for us all." Tears of joy fall down my cheeks.

"Princess Chinua's sacrifice was noble. She brought so many people to change sides. Heck, she even convinced me to fight."

I whip my head around to the familiar voice. "Master Haden?"

Master Haden bows towards me.

"I am so sorry for deceiving you, Master-"

"I don't care that you're a woman. Ever since you stepped into my classroom, I knew you had the spirit of a warrior. And that's all that matters."

Jin corrects him. "Not just a warrior. The Warrior."

Taehyung smiles at me. "The Courageous Warrior."

Suga wraps his arm around my shoulder. "Amira, I knew you'd start the revolution."

"But how am I going to continue this?"

"You're not alone here!" Suga assures me. "You have your friends to help you."

Jimin nods. "And we have a plan."

We all surround a table, with Sungo, Jimin's father, at the front.

"I have been waiting for this day all my life. It is all thanks to Amira we've arrived here." Sungo looks at me.

I nod.

"Infiltrating into the palace will be impossible, but we don't need to. We have our secret passageways and information on them they aren't aware we have."

"What do you mean?" I question.

"We have an Erden's spy amongst your father's soldiers. According to him, they should be right here." Sungo points to the map.

"Right by the lake," I recognize.

"So you've been there?" Jimin asks.

"Yeah. It's where me, Jin and Suga used to walk." When my life used to be so easier...

"We may be not strong in numbers but we can be smart." Jin says.

Sungo agrees. "We'll handle all of your Kingdom's soldiers. Amira, you need to kill your father. The war will be over and the kingdom will transfer to you."

I purse my lips. "Why do we have to kill him? Why do more people have to die?"

Sungo rolls his eyes. "Do you have any other suggestions?"
