COMPLETED. "This is my land- my country!" Lheane's voice rang out, fierce and unyielding, cutting through the heavy air like a blade drawn in defiance. "And I will do anything to defend it!" Her chest rose and fell with each breath, fire burning behind her eyes as she stood her ground-unshaken, unbowed, even as the weight of the Queen's presence pressed down on her like an unseen force. For a moment, silence stretched between them. Then- A soft, almost amused sound escaped from the Queen's lips. "Defend?" she echoed, her voice smooth, regal... laced with quiet mockery. She took a step forward. Slow. Deliberate. Dangerous. "How?" the Queen continued, her lips curving into a faint, cruel smile. "You cannot even defend yourself." Her words struck deeper than any blade. Each syllable carried a quiet certainty, an unshakable belief that Lheane was already defeated, already beneath her. And yet- She did not move. Did not look away. Because even as doubt threatened to creep in... even as fear coiled tightly in her chest- She refused to break.
