Chapter 49
The rest of the day was spent cleaning up. All the blood and bodies. Everything. Gwen was not really happy about having to do that, but it was necessary. She had tried to use it as an excuse, not to treat Ace, but it wasn’t like she wanted to.
After she helped Ace the best she could, she immediately left the room, looking for better things to do. The soldiers that weren’t being treated or resting, which accounted for most, were out cleaning. Gwen was not too tired, surprisingly, and so she was roped into the cleaning. But since she was not as strong as the other men, her job was cleaning up blood stains and severed limbs and things like that.
Gwen wondered where all the bodies would go but she didn’t ask any questions about that. The bodies of their comrades would be buried but the twice as many bodies of the Paria-Drae soldiers, well, Gwen could not really take a good enough guess.
It was estimated that two-thirds of P

When the group got to the river, it was surrounded by Paria-Drae soldiers. Gwen’s group had left in the evening and arrived at the river in the night. They moved as swiftly and as quietly as possible. The group had slowed a bit when they got to the destroyed part of the forest. Everything was blown to bits and what was left was just dirt and the occasional limb of a soldier.It was sad to see because Gwen really loved the forest. It was peaceful and beautiful. It really made Estril stand out from the other countries. And now, a big chunk of the forest was taken out. While setting up the explosives, the area around the river was obviously avoided. So if someone were to look from above, they would see just a random patch of green at the border of Estril, surrounded by desolate land.It was wide enough for the Estrillian soldiers and trees to hide behind. It would have been pretty weird if they were to try and sneak up on the enemy, but

It took longer than expected, but Gwen was able to get the guy down. It was a risky move to expose the fact that she was from Paria-Drae. If someone else had seen then it would have been a disaster. She would have had to go along with what they were doing and put the entire mission in jeopardy because of it. Gwen took the gun away from the man, just in case he decided to wake up and dragged him into a bush some ways behind them. When she looked up, Ace was already dealing with the person in front of him. He was taller than his target and so he simply choked them and dragged them back like how the others were doing. “What did you tell him?” Ace approached her. “What could you have said to him that made him not shoot you on the spot?” The more he talked to her the more upset she got. Gwen could not let her emotions get the best of her and so she just ignored him. If Gwen were to curse him out here then she was sure everyo

The voices around Gwen woke her up. Her head felt like it was full of cotton and her body felt like she was hit with a barrel. That definitely was not empty. Gwen remembered being shot and also being in a lot of pain. She leaned against a tree and then everything after that was just darkness. She must have lost consciousness due to the pain or blood loss. There were multiple people in the area but she didn’t know who they were and her brain could not put the words together properly enough for her to understand what they were saying. She would have called out, but the possibility of her being in the hands of the enemy was high. She was shot in enemy territory and was left alive by them, so they could have also captured her. Gwen wanted to open her eyes to see who was around her, but her eyes remained closed. Even willing them to open just a bit was a feat. And eventually, she lost consciousness again. The second time Gwe

Aside from the weird looks from everyone, and the fact that a war just ended. Everything was normal. And that meant that Gwen could go home. She had healed well over the couple of days that she was in the hospital room. She had realized that she was in the private room to more of the back of the front building. There were no other patients here and it had Gwen questioning why. It was not like her injury was that serious.There were people who lost limbs and yet she got an entire room for that. Gwen could not help but feel guilty. But no one said anything about it to her, she didn’t get any looks of disdain or have people question why so she guessed that it could have been a normal thing. But then again, where was this room when Ace, Mr. Top-priority, needed to be treated?Talking about Ace, she had not seen him since they were in the forest together. It was not like she wanted to and appreciated the time of peace she had. It was a bi

Once again, Gwen was sitting on the couch surrounded. They were not saying anything and were just eyeing her down. As if they would get their questions answered that way. Jonah has this scowl on his face and he studied her, she wished that she could tell what was going on in their minds but she was just lost. It reminded her of the situation back at the camp, everyone looked at her weirdly, kept their distance from her and she even spotted people whispering about her behind her back. They had not figured out that she was from Paria-Drae because there was no way that they could. And the General would not have kept his mouth shut about it and interrogated her until her head fell off. So what was it? There was one thing she was sure for certain, it had something to do with Ace. When she was out of her room one day she caught her name being thrown around in a group of people. Along with Ace’s name. She did not hear exactly what they were say

THIRD ARC Two months have passed since everything went down. When she got home, it took her about ten minutes to be able to open the door. She was incredibly nervous and had wondered what her parent’s reactions would be. It was hard to see their faces and how they morphed through different emotions when they saw her, but in the end, it was all good. Her mother was in shambles for hours and scolded Gwen to no end, but she assured her that everything with her was fine. They made a fuss over her injuries, but they didn’t hurt much and Gwen had to tell them that a few times before they calmed down. And then she had to tell them what happened, of course, she gave them the censored version and made everything lighter than it actually is. She also had to play down her pain, saying that she never felt anything because she was high on adrenaline the entire time. After that, her mother looked at her injuries. It was not the best

“This is a step forward in my plan. The Queen is obviously not going to Estril to make peace, we all know that. And I want to be there to help protect the royal family and to make sure that she does not get what she wants. If I were to get my personal feelings involved then it would ruin the entire thing.” Gwen said.Her mother shook her head. “I just have a bad feeling about this.”“Of course, you have a bad feeling about it, this is the Queen we’re talking about. She is definitely up to something and so that’s why I need to go. I’m just a lowly soldier to her, she won’t pay attention to me.”“Gwen.” her father stood up. “Being anywhere near her is not a good idea. She could see you and have suspicions.”“People look alike, it’s nothing strange. She will see me, and then move on. I’m going to Estril. I&rs

“What the hell is your problem?” Ace grabbed onto her arm.Gwen sighed and turned to face him calmly. “Why would I give you the time of day when you only want to say bad things to me. That’s not very good for my mental health, is it? Would you listen to someone who always insulted you?”“I’m just telling you what you need to hear. You got lucky with the war between us and Paria-Drae, but now this is an operation that could very well put our royalty in danger and I don’t think we need someone who is just going to drag the entire team down. Why did you even come back?” he gripped her arm tiger, his nails digging into her arm slightly.“Your precious General called me here, so of course, I came.”“And did you have to run away from home this time?” he leaned down in her face and Gwen had half the mind to spit on it.
