The thought of war had been troubling Henry for days.
After he parted ways with Alix and Maximus, there was no other word about war and he felt he couldn't relax until someone gave him further details.
For Henry's entire life, he had only heard stories about war due to territorial disputes between countries or to conquer an existing kingdom and take their riches. A war against monsters sounded like something out of a fairytale.
As far as he had known before, monsters were no more aware than animals. For them to be organized enough to start a war shattered Henry's understanding of the world around him. It made him wonder further if peasants were told that monsters were close to animals so they could live outside of the walls without as much fear as those who knew better.
