Henry Palais
The news of the Dragon attack had finally been relayed to Henry Palais.
Arial had brought his army to the North, instilling fear and vowing to conquer all. His claws have reached farther than anyone had thought. And the rise of the Vermont could no longer be obstructed.
But that was not what preoccupied Henry at the moment.
Henry had received a letter from Arial himself asking for his cooperation to end the war in a swift manner by betraying Lord Alderam.
What should I do? Henry thought.
This was a dilemma.
If he betrayed Lord Alderam, he would be branded a turncoat, but if he resisted, he would surely be executed by the Dragon forces once they won the war.
There was no doubt in Henry's mind that the Dragon would win.
Even with the rumored help from Vern, Lord Alderam had no chance in stopping Arial's advance.
The young Vermont was committed to winning this war.
