After listening to Lyra's impassioned speech, Marcus still had his doubts.
He wondered if the rebels had any chance at all.
Even if they had a few powerful fighters on their side, at the end of the day the kingdom proper would still be far superior in both quality and quantity.
'I cannot let her continue on a suicide mission.' Marcus thought seeing no good end for Lyra if she stayed with the rebel army.
"Lyra, I understand where you are coming from, but I think you should reconsider. Fighting against an entire kingdom is not going to end well. I do not want you to die again, so come with me and I can set you up in the Kingdom of Borealia. There you can try and find another way to fight against Tralenstein." Marcus said wanting to get Lyra away and make sure she survived.
However, for the first time since the two of them had met again, Lyra became angry and practically started yelling at Marcus.
