I think it was also not just her, because remember her country's soldiers where still fighting even after her death.
Yeah, I don't think she was pushing it. I think Khalid just knows that they're gonna lose anyway, so he sped up the process lol
But since the war ended the day she was killed, we can safely say she was the one leading the retaliation. By her orders the soldiers were fighting, the foot soldiers have no say, they have to listen to their commanders no matter what. Her knight friends on the other hand are obviously loyal to her and their country, I would believe they are almost more upset about her dying than their surrender. I reckon they’re trying to avenge her more than anything.
And this woman was hella patriotic, it wouldn’t surprise me if she was more focused on victory than anything else. Which isn’t necessarily a good thing.
Obviously this is just a story, but given the information we have on the war and how humans might react to things like this realistically , I would speculate this much. Rather I’m more surprised that Khalid wasn’t killed by the other king. You can’t trust anyone who killed their friend, so why give them a whole ass title? It’s not like they owed him.
What if he was a spy and killed her because that was his job?
Not according to that flashback. If he were a spy he would have been welcomed back as a hero, not begrudgingly rewarded.
Yeah, same thoughts about that. Especially after the ml's monologue too.
Dang but I kind of get it. If your commander will never surrender a losing battle, and it will mean losing many more lives, then sacrificing one life to save the many might not be wrong.
We don’t know enough about the war yet, it sounds to me like her country was putting up a valiant effort but she was the one pushing it.
This Khalid was probably just psycho enough to take the brunt of being the traitor and kill his best friend.
I’m not saying I like him, but the situation is believable.
Lowkey the fiance is growing on me. I also like the FL, her character is way more believable than the other story that was like this. She’s not OP immediately by a fluke, she’s got proper trauma, she’s still kind of a badass, and she’s able to assess herself.
So far I’m really enjoying this.
