It was difficult to discern whether the various strategies proposed by Veranika were her own ideas or belonged to Lady Strategy and her Katherine. After all, the Conqueror Army's think tank was far more formidable than the world imagined.
She knew, but that did not mean that the new Holy Warriors and Followers of Tempus knew. It was good to show them the war potential of the Conqueror Army, especially the Sword Master, who was a rising star among the Followers of Tempus and deserved special attention.
Feelings were always mutual. Tempus's evident favoritism and support for Lady Strategy naturally reciprocated her sincere feelings, and Katherine, as her first Chosen, was well aware of the lady's intentions.
