A new beginning

As the stars twinkled in the night sky, Brida and Princess Liba remained nestled in the tranquil courtyard of the palace, sharing their dreams and aspirations for the future. The warm breeze carried the distant sounds of merriment, the echo of laughter reminding them of the joy that had returned to the Batang Empire.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" Brida asked, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he recalled their initial encounter during a tense council meeting. "You stood up to the nobles who doubted our chances against Edimo. I had never seen such courage before."

Liba chuckled softly, her eyes dancing with memories. "And you were so determined to prove yourself, even in the face of overwhelming odds. I admired that about you."

Brida’s expression turned serious. "It was your bravery that inspired me to fight harder. It reminded me that we are all in this together – that our strength comes from unity."
