Chapter 107: The Winds of Change
The battle for the capital is brutal, and both sides suffer heavy losses. But Lin Yuer's forces are well-organized, and the people of the capital, inspired by her leadership, fight with determination. The battle rages for days, but in the end, Lady Hua's rebellion is quelled. Her forces, fractured and demoralized, are forced to surrender.
Lady Hua herself is captured and brought before Lin Yuer. The once-powerful matriarch is now a prisoner, her dreams of restoring the old order dashed. Lin Yuer, standing tall, addresses her directly.
"You sought to destroy what we've built," Lin Yuer says coldly. "But you underestimated the strength of the people. You will face justice for your crimes, and your rebellion will be forgotten."
Lady Hua is taken away, her future uncertain, but Lin Yuer's rule is secure—for now.
