PoV: Urraca
The princess of Castro, commander of the crusade, appointed by the Pontifex himself, is in a foul mood as she discusses with the priests.
"Can you please stop with the excuses and the dodging and answer me properly?"
Despite the foul mood, she still keeps her composure. She is a princess, after all.
"But we are... We are saying all that we know about it."
"So you are useless, then. Is that what you mean?"
Without the blessing, if the enemy does another attack like the last one, it would bring chaos to the army. More than that, it could spell doom for the whole campaign.
She departed her country with the assurance of three advantages in this war.
First, the advantage of numbers. This is one of the biggest armies that the world has ever seen. Or at least in the recorded history that she was allowed to study.
