章節 305: Reignite the Broken Heart

I sank down onto the soft grass beneath the tree's shade, my back resting against the rough bark. A gentle breeze stirred the leaves overhead, the rustling of which was the only sound besides the distant murmur of my army. I shut my eyes and let out a deep breath, my mind momentarily calm.

A shadow fell over me, and I opened my eyes to see one of my intelligence variants standing there, awaiting my orders. "Water and food for my horse, and something for me as well," I said, gesturing towards my tired mount. "It's been a long ride." The intelligence variant nodded and hurried off, disappearing into the throng of soldiers and mounts.

But she was gone now, and I missed her more than ever. Lunch had always been a time for us to reconnect and share our thoughts, and her absence left me feeling lonely.
