Note: I had problems with my electricity and was only able to prepare a single 1,500-word chapter today, instead of two 1,000-word chapters.
I'm very sorry about that, everything will be back to normal tomorrow.
"My queen..."
A noble and powerful voice echoed through the darkened throne room.
Seated beside the king's throne, a woman with dark skin and beautiful green eyes stared at the knight in black armor kneeling before her.
"What do you have to report?" she asked, her index finger tapping anxiously against the stone armrest.
"Count Nirm's forces have breached the northern walls; ten thousand men are marching toward the castle.
We have confirmed thirty thousand men marching to our aid, but it will take them at least two days to arrive."
Upon hearing those words, the queen bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly trembling.
Things were not going well...
'At least my dear Isabel is safe...' She repeated to herself, standing up.
