The merriment was echoed in the imperial camp, where the soldiers had been permitted a little drink. Friends and comrades grinned over cups of liquor. Spirits were high for troops so deep into a grueling campaign, and the fear of death seemed far from anyone’s mind. Perhaps it was the empire’s string of victories that was fueling their confidence, or perhaps it was their faith in their commanders. Both likely had a part to play in keeping their hearts firm and their unease at bay.

Give or take a handful of rowdy beastfolk filtering in from the Crow Legion camp, the mood was generally carefree. Their commanders, however, had no time to rest. There were officers to brief and consult with, stockpiles to check, supplies to procure, and letters to the capital to be written. All of that would then be compiled into reports by aides and sent to the chief strategist, who would give the sixth princess final say on any decisions.

The command tent was full of aides dashing to and fro as they attended to various matters. At the head of the table sat Aura with a stack of reports before her. She and Liz were reviewing the day’s batch.

“Hey.” Aura’s brow furrowed. Liz had drifted off again mid-conversation. “Are you listening?”

Liz had been acting oddly all day. Her mood seemed to change at the drop of a hat, from a cheerful grin to a pensive frown, or from a creased brow to a compassionate smile. Presently, she was sighing sorrowfully.

Aura leaned closer, peering into her eyes. “Are you feeling all right?”

Liz recoiled exaggeratedly. Her surprise was obvious, but she tried to play it off with a laugh, making a show of rubbing her eyelid. “It’s nothing. I had something in my eye, that’s all.”

Aura could tell she was being lied to. Under normal circumstances, she would have shown tact and let it go, but she was feeling less patient today.

“You’re annoyed, aren’t you?” she asked with a hint of mirth.

Liz’s eyes widened momentarily in surprise, but she soon forced a smile and brushed her hair back behind her ear. “Whatever do you mean?”

“You seem very—”

“Whatever do you mean?”

Aura glanced at Liz. There was a radiant smile on her lips, but it very definitely did not reach her eyes. A chill ran down her spine. “Nothing.”

In a sense, it was an impressive expression. Still, it left Aura no less clueless as to what had earned Liz’s annoyance.

The surrounding aides had been watching in silence, and more than a few sighed to see Liz smile so brilliantly. Aura, however, had seen the expression from close enough range to sense the murderous intent in its depths. Provoking her further would be unwise. With a polite cough, she returned to work, picking up a report from the stack.

“Esel is warning us to leave their lands,” she said, scanning it.

“Of course,” Liz said. “But we don’t have to listen.”

Aura nodded in agreement, privately breathing a sigh of relief. Her change of subject had succeeded.
