The war was there and Riders were about to move to the fortresses around the city of Mirador. I was expected to return to the capital in two days' time. I was expected to run back and hide at the last moment when my soldiers will be fighting for us. when Victor will be fighting instead of me.
I have no words when the three commanders put me in a situation where I had no right to evoke an objection. The king didn't want me to fight. My commanders didn't want me to fight. Victor didn't want me to fight. Altogether it made me feel so useless. It made me feel like I was not good enough. At last, they were all seeing me as a woman who won't be needed on the battlefield.
