WANESSA'S POINT OF VIEW:

The negotiation room was tense, the air thick with the weight of decisions that would determine Eldemere's future. King Roderic, princess Elira, and prince Eldric were still sceptical, their eyes analyzing every word that left my mouth, but I couldn't let their doubts falter me. This was the most important moment of my life, and I had to make them see the truth in what we were building.

"We understand the risks involved." I said, standing a little straighter, my voice firm but filled with conviction. "But the future of Eldemere and all our kingdoms depends on our cooperation. We cannot afford to let petty doubts destroy the alliances that could save us from what's coming. You'll see, we're ready."

There was a tense silence. I could feel every pair of eyes on me, waiting for me to trip up, to make the wrong move.

Finally, King Roderic spoke, his gravelly voice echoing in the room.
