"Concubine Isabella, I have news from the battlefield."
Orion appeared beside Isabella, who was busy with her work.
Isabella turned toward him and nodded.
"Go on."
"The forces led by Princess Elina, Princess Freya, and Young Lady Evalyn have successfully defeated the rebel forces, which were aided by tens of thousands of Valtanir troops. They are now on their way home. However…"
His words suddenly trailed off.
Isabella raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Just tell me everything. I won't get angry."
Orion's expression grew complicated. He took a deep breath before speaking.
"According to Cassiopeia, Draco has betrayed us. It turns out he was a spy for the Holy Empire of Valtanir and nearly turned the tide of battle. Fortunately, Cassiopeia acted quickly and killed him."
As he said the words killed him, his voice trembled slightly.
Draco had been his friend. They had been quite close.
