Every step he took, she mirrored his action, as they let the silence be the one doing all the talking. Once they were far enough, he looked around the area, making sure no one was listening. They were standing on top of the tower, looking out onto VulcanFire. While Starfania watched from behind, staring out into the horizon as well. As he stared out into the horizon as he said in a much softer tone, " One day, all of this will be yours. "
The weight of his world left Starfania momentarily speechless. She always knew that she would become queen. However, she didn't think that he would mention it already and because of their fight; she thought Cesar would find a new heir. Despite her disbelief, he comforted her with a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
It still didn't ease her mind. The weight of immense power and responsibility felt like a heavy cloak draped over her shoulders, and she struggled to breathe beneath its burden. Every time she thought about the title that was being discussed, she found herself questioning whether she truly possessed the qualities necessary to fulfill such a role. Deep down, she wrestled with the notion of being the perfect candidate. Was she strong enough to make the tough decisions? Did she have the wisdom and resilience to inspire confidence in those around her? Fear lurked in the corners of her thoughts, feeding on her insecurities. Alongside it, doubt twisted and turned like a stormy ocean, making it hard for her to find solid ground. The weight of expectations loomed large, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she might disappoint those who believed in her. Could she really be the one they looked up to? The thought sent shivers down her spine. She imagined all the eyes focused on her, waiting for answers, for guidance—and for someone who could lead with strength and clarity. Yet, all she felt was a deep uncertainty, leaving her to wonder if someone else might be better suited for the task.
She knew the only reason she was given this title was because of her little brother's disappearance. You know how it was that the first-born son was the one destined to become heir to the throne. Although she dreamed of a future where she could make her own choices and she was well loved and respected by the people she cared about. He mentioned the vital roles of leaders- how their decisions shape nations and lives. As he also emphasized the significance of battle strategy, stressing that if you don't have a plan. You already failed the mission before you even started it.
" A well-crafted strategy allows you to anticipate your enemy's movements, " he said, his tone steady and measured. In certain situations you need to keep an open-mind and be ready to adapt to evolving situations.
