Rena sat next to Marie quietly waiting for the signal they agreed upon with the advance team. The assault team was a little further away, waiting for the mages to do their job.
Rena was slightly distracted with thoughts of Lucius fighting out in the woods without her there to fight with him. Ever since they were children they have never been separated. She was very worried that he might go a step too far and face off against someone stronger than him. Losing him would devastate her, so much so that she would probably just give up on the battle for the spot as heir. It just was not worth it if he wasn't around…
She quietly shook her head to dispel those negative thoughts and feelings. Rena was aware that the timid woman, Marie, was watching her the entire time. Honestly, she probably looked very weird just sitting there and shaking her head back and forth for no reason.
"You aren't like most nobles." Marie whispered.
