I hesitated, much like someone who hesitated. I have no idea why I didn't take the necessary steps to avoid chaos. I can't bear this child; I am a high-ranking general with responsibilities, and I shouldn't have been involved with his majesty in the first place. Why did I hesitate to end this pregnancy when I've never been one to hesitate or avoid doing what's necessary? I strolled down the corridor and halted in front of his majesty's courtroom. The king had summoned me for something crucial, but I didn't know how to face him, given the secret I'm hiding. Gathering my courage, I entered the courtroom and noticed Cedrick and a few other warlords present, leaving me curious about the occasion.
"I stand before you as summoned, your majesty," I replied with a respectful bow.
