'Did I hear it wrong? I think I heard something like 'battlefield' and 'war'?'
Every person in the hall was either murmuring or complaining whereas Lucien was progressing her mind. She laughs at herself for hearing the wrong words but it wasn't so.
Efthalia who had been quiet soon spoke. The pressure he gave with his word even made her think twice or thrice like why would he even do that. 'The last trail never had to do with the battlefield, right?' She tried to think if she had messed up her mind with another story she had read before. But she doesn't remember any story where the ML would send the FL to the battlefield to battle for life and death.
'He wouldn't be that stupid to send her.' However, she was wrong again.
"Why not?" Came the question from Efthalia.
"But why a battlefield?" One man responded in a question. He was brave enough to raise his head. No one could ask the reason why would the emperor think it was right for the last trial.
