"My lady," greeted Rotrick as I landed in the camp with the group of people. "How are things?" I asked as I walked into the camp with him.
I had come from another long peace meeting. We have stopped fighting and are now negotiating, which is another battle. More exhausting than the actual battle.
"Good; nothing happened. Even if it had, we would have dealt with it," he replied, his voice confident.
I would have been confident as well, if not for the remainder that is in my room. "Remain alert," I cautioned. Though I doubt he or any other person in my army could do anything if that man acts.
I pushed those thoughts and looked at my men. There is a large army, which was fighting day and night until a few days ago, when I stopped the war.
I had no desire to do that. I am confident that I could have won it, but things changed, and they had changed so suddenly that they left me with no choice.
My men, I could see, looked relieved. Many don't want to fight anymore.
