Whether to invade the Feis Kingdom had become the focal point of contention between the two sides, drawing the attention of many within the Dillon Kingdom.
However, from Lis's observations, it was undoubtedly King Lukar who had the upper hand, as many pre-war preparations had already formally commenced. Duke Ward, on the other hand, was powerless to stop any of it due to his loss of control over key positions within the Kingdom.
Overall, everything was progressing as Lukar had anticipated.
As this imbalance in power began, more and more neutrals also chose to join the side favoring the invasion of the Feis Kingdom, intensifying the conflict between the two sides.
At that time, Duke Ward was attacked!
It happened while Duke Ward was traveling to the Royal Palace by carriage, assassins ambushed from the shadows on both sides of the road and attacked his carriage.
