Chapter 101: Aftermath of victory

With Lydia's fortress in ruins and her power shattered, Lady Elara and I emerged from the depths of darkness into the light of a new dawn. The air was crisp with the promise of a fresh beginning, and as we stood amidst the wreckage, a sense of peace washed over us like a cleansing tide.

But even in the aftermath of victory, there was much to be done. The realm had been scarred by Lydia's tyranny, and it would take time and effort to heal the wounds that she had inflicted upon it.

Together, Lady Elara and I set to work, rallying the people and rebuilding what had been lost. It was a daunting task, but with our newfound unity and determination, we faced it head-on, our resolve unshakeable in the face of adversity.

Days turned into weeks as we toiled tirelessly, laying the foundations for a brighter future. With each passing day, the realm began to flourish once more, its spirit renewed by the promise of hope and possibility.
