Confessions of A Swordsman

In the icy cavern that held Diana captive, Arthur waited alone, the echoes of the earlier conflict with the assassins from the Berilo Kingdom lingering in the cold air. As he watched the minutes tick by, the reality of the security breach weighed on him; the ease with which his foes had entered Runera troubled him deeply, hinting at vulnerabilities he hadn't anticipated.

The frost-laden walls of the cavern seemed to amplify the silence, a stark contrast to the chaos that had erupted earlier. Arthur's mind replayed the skirmish, his strategic defenses unraveling with each memory. He knew that Runera's security protocols needed a severe overhaul—how could his enemies infiltrate so deep without prior detection? This lapse pointed to either a betrayal within or a serious underestimation of his adversaries' capabilities.
