I entered the room to find Mayor Caelia standing at the head of the large table. The battle had gone in our favor, and casualties were surprisingly light. No one on our side had lost their life. It had been a tough fight, and our victory had come at a great price. Losing even a single life would have been a tragedy. But now, we had a chance to celebrate our triumph and prepare for the future. We had done our duty to the Kingdom and successfully fended off the enemy. Our sacrifice would not go to waste. I felt a surge of hope as I saw the expression of relief on the Mayor's face.
