"Congratulations my little Xue, you managed to have the name of major in your first battle, you are halfway to reaching our prince"
"You know I don't like him making fun of my captain like that"
Xue spoke "But it is true you are a prince and you are from the army, so you are one of Huo's soldiers so you are hers, her prince" a giggle came out of her.
Feng Ke approached "Little one, congratulations"
After the last battle she became friends with Feng Ke and they had even started to get along "thank you"
But happiness in the midst of war never lasts long enough to fully celebrate.
The following week there was another attack, and as time went on the attacks became more bloodthirsty and unpredictable.
The enemy army troops seemed desperate to win the Zhou territories.
After each battle there were many wounded and dead who were piled up on a mountain that grew every week.
The war was never expected to be as violent as it turned out, it was expected to achieve peace in a few months but it was something completely fanciful and ambitious.
What happened was really tragic, the food shortages were increasing, and not only that, the internal conflicts between the families with the most power and those that had been destroyed and some even sold their daughters to brothels or vendors of slaves to be able to have a little money.
The situation was getting out of the hands of the emperor and he sought advice from his second son, he unexpectedly offered to make a marriage to declare peace.
"How can you sacrifice yourself to have the peace of the country, my son, what will happen if one day you fall in love with a young woman, she will not be the first wife and not only that if you give her a better treatment than your main wife, only heaven knows that she could pass"
"Father, our people are dying of hunger, my brother is on the front lines of the war and not only him but several soldiers who hope to bring peace, and the other soldiers who have been giving their lives for almost four years now"
"My son, that is no reason to sacrifice yourself, but if it is your decision, no one will contradict it"
A letter from the emperor was sent to the state enterprise that was invading Zhou.
