Bab 480: Normal People

Scarlet's body was placed on a large table. Her eyes, already dull, were half-open. Without her armor, she appeared much younger than her age.

Outside, the army camp was in chaos. Her death was a devastating blow to the Shansa army. Every soldier now must fight for their own future. Some insisted on avenging, while others believed they should retreat to preserve the army's strength. The argument lasted all night long yet no agreement was reached.

Prince Jerrick was in a very difficult situation. The soldiers may be arguing, but they all had allies. Prince Jerrick was the only one who was truly alone. He sat in the corner of a tent, saying nothing. He knew that Scarlet had died because she left to save him.

After Scarlet's death, he became the de facto leader of the army, but he could not go visit her. Last night, Manstuly tried to see Scarlet's body but was attacked by Scarlet's mysterious guards. Now, no one was allowed near her body.
