"I want you to fortify the walls and put the entire County on lockdown. No one comes in or out of the territory. Guards and Knights must be stationed at all corners of the land and be prepared for anything that might happen."
"Yes, Madam Kirlia!" A knight bowed and relayed her orders to the other guards and knights.
Kirlia walked with pride, confidence, and power as she went back to her home. Ever since getting the news that her husband had been accused of deserting the kingdom's army, she went into overdrive, contacting close friends, gathering intelligence, and fortifying their land.
She knew that her husband, who is a General, would never abandon his post. Not only would his pride not allow that, but his honor and views of the world wouldn't either. He had come from a long line of Knights, while she herself came from a long line of mages.
