Chapter 136: Freedom

Several moments had passed since the alliance between Princess Rosaria and Viscount Valerian was formed. The troops began consolidating at three critical points in the northern region—Fort Tragon, Damaris Forest, and Ironclad Port. These locations were carefully chosen to ensure that any attacks from Althuria could be intercepted before reaching the rebellion's center of power. Rosaria and Valerian worked tirelessly, organizing tactics and logistics to maintain their momentum.

However, even though the rebellion had yet to be officially declared, rumors were unavoidable. Gradually, loyalists to the Althurian kingdom began to realize what was coming. This was largely thanks to the intelligence network of Prince Philip, who had a web of spies and informants spread throughout the kingdom. The forces behind the young prince, especially the hero Johan, were the greatest threat that Viscount Valerian had never anticipated.
