The heat from the branding iron hit my face, yet inside, I felt freezing cold.
All the doubts. Laila’s cold eyes. Silas’s heavy words. They all came together in that one bloody confession from her mouth.
She only wiped out three towns.
And she regretted not killing more.
The hot branding iron in my hand started to shake.
The firelight reflected in her crazy, hateful eyes, and that slave mark seemed to come alive on her twisted face, mocking me.
“And the prisoners of war? Did you cut off their penis? Torture them like animals?”
“More than that.” Maris snapped, her eyes burning. “I had them slice his face with a dull blade. I made him kneel and drink urine. I stuffed rotten guts down his throat. I used every method to force him to tell me who he was! I only regret not tearing him into pieces myself!”
My whole body went cold, like my blood had stopped flowing. “That’s why Silas agreed to a peace treaty so quickly. He gave up a border they’d been fighting over for decades just to get
him back.”
I wasn’t an idiot. I finally figured out who that prisoner was!
Who else could make a Solantian Marshal give up everything like that, except their crown prince?
No wonder.
No wonder they fought so fiercely at Vagen.
No wonder Silas’s eyes held not just hatred, but pain so deep it had no bottom.
Something this huge… A border that had been fought over for years, and she “solved” it like this.

And back then, I didn’t suspect a thing. I even celebrated her victory.
I stared at Maris like she was a stranger.

This face used to be radiant and full of life. There had been a fire in her eyes that capturedi my heart.
She once said she wanted to protect peace for the Moon Goddess. She wanted pups to rum across grasslands without war. She wanted to end the bloodshed at the borders. I still remember she stood under the moonlight, her back as straight as a spear. She sounded so sincere that I believe it without doubt.
But now, her face was just a mask of twisted hate and that mocking slave brand.
So. I dumped Laila for … this.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
I laughed until tears poured out and my shoulders shook.
“Maris. in was you. You’re the reason Laila’s whole family died.
