Days later…
[House of Monreal]
Marceline went straight to her territory once they concluded their endless meetings about the church. Unlike Draken and the rest, she wasn't as injured as they were. Besides, Atlas had attacked a portion of her territory—although no one had been hurt in that attack.
How?
Atlas's men had already infiltrated her territory before they launched the strike, forcing her people to evacuate the area. So when the missile dropped, not a single soul was harmed.
"What a scary thing," she chuckled as she read the reports in her home office, shaking her head. "If I picked a fight with him, I would've lost before I could even start."
That was her realization that day.
Atlas knew exactly how to attack her. He could send his men to infiltrate her territory and tear her down from the inside out. Yet no matter how she tried to challenge him, Atlas never truly took their rivalry to heart.
