Margaret watched everything silently from above.
The battlefield was chaos. And yet her attention was not on the monsters. Rather, it was on the soldiers, and on who they listened to.
Who they trusted. Who they looked toward for orders. And it was not her.
Her eyes darkened slightly. Then footsteps approached from behind her.
Margaret turned calmly as two restrained figures were dragged onto the tower platform.
Enzo's face immediately hardened the moment he saw the battlefield below. Stefan looked even worse. His eyes were fixed on the monsters attacking the barricade while fury burned across his exhausted face.
"Why are we here?" Enzo asked coldly.
Margaret smiled faintly. "To watch."
Stefan stepped forward instinctively, but the soldiers immediately grabbed him harder.
"Let me go," he snapped. "You restrained me and stopped me from going back to Tina, you are evil ."
"Yes I know," Margaret replied casually. "Sacrifices are needed after all."
