Chương 113: Chapter 113: King

Marinah is working with Ruth, who’s making incredible progress. There hasn’t been a complaint about the child in weeks. She follows Marinah around like she’s her personal guard. The sword Marinah gave her always on her hip and her hand on the pommel daring anyone to threaten her instructor.

“King,” Beck calls. “We have urgent news from the northern outpost.”

Here we go. It’s been too quiet. “I’ll grab Marinah. Have the men join us in the conference room in five.” I don’t ask what the news is because it’s Marinah’s job. Beck should have gone to her first, but that’s something she needs to deal with. Eventually things will fall into place. When I took over after my uncle’s death, it was the same way. Shadow Warriors expect a leader and sometimes knocking heads is the best way to lead them.
