Hendrick was relieved that his father won. He didn't doubt his father's strength since he had always been reliable and victorious. But he knew that his father had probably been overworking himself again lately due to the war.
The Valyenor army cheered in glee. With Duke Henry's victory, the war would be ending. They could finally go home to their families. Their three-month-long defense of Eleftheria and Zachary would finally end.

Hendrick was silently celebrating his father's victory when the magic attack came. It was directed to King Emerson.
But with the scope of the magic beam, Duke Henry who was nearby could have been harmed as well.
Thanks to the Grand Magus' preparedness, Duke Henry and King Emerson were unharmed. But they have been alerted and were instantly wary of each other.
