A Hard Decision

The Empress removed the bloodstains on her face and body and entered her daughter's room.

The little princess was practicing hard. All news about this war was from her. Every word that went to her was verified. Yet, she seemed to judge the situation from the atmosphere of the city.

And she was trying her best in practice, perhaps hoping to help soon.

"Rest early."

"Just one more hour, mom."

"…Fine."

The Empress left the room with a sad face. She wanted her daughter to be independent and strong. But not like this.

The Empress walked through the empty corridors of the once lively palace with a solemn gaze.

All the maids and guards except for the princess protectors were sent to the frontlines.

'This place was lively just two months ago…' The Empress reached her husband's study room in a daze.

And she heard him hold a talk with the abyssals in the solar system.
