Lysandra said we need to get ready to defend ourselves now. She was already getting out a piece of paper and a pen to draw up a plan for the walls. I will tell the guards to make the gates stronger and put up blocks on the roads that lead here and we will put archers on the walls she said.
No let me go out and meet them Elara said, putting her hand on the handle of her sword. Five hundred is not many. I can get through their line before they even see the walls of the estate.
You are not going to do that Lysandra said. That would be crazy for you.
I work for the Sovereign Elara said in a voice. If he tells me to hold back an army by myself I will fill the fields with their blood.
Wait Zen said, putting down his toast. Why are they even attacking us?
Both women looked at him.
What do you mean My Lord Lysandra asked.
