WHY IS THERE A WOMAN... FLUSHED CHEEKS FROM THE WARM BATH WET HAIR ...I-IN THE COMMANDER'S QUARTERS?! MR. GEN? YOU KNOW WHO I AM? HUH? AREN'T YOU...? IT'S BEEN A WHILE. DO YOU REMEMBER ME? OF COURSE I DO! YOU WERE AT THE MILITARY ACADEMY! YOU NAME WAS... UH... ARSHNO! IT'S ARSHNO, RIGHT? WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE? CLOSE ENOUGH, I GUESS. I JUST HAD SOME BUSINESS TO TEND TO... THE COMMANDER SHOULD BE BACK SOON. I SEE. THEN I'LL WAIT UNTIL HE RETURNS. THE COMMANDER'S BEEN ON HIS OWN THE PAST FEW DAYS. IS SOMETHING THE MATTER? THE FULL MOON WAS JUST THE OTHER DAY. THREE DAYS BEFORE AND AFTER THAT, I CAN'T REALLY WORK. OH, RIGHT. WHAT'S IN THAT POUCH? THERE'S A STRANGE SMELL COMING FROM IT. THIS? IT'S NOTHING, REALLY. OH, THOSE ARE SOME PRETTY STONES. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'VE GOT SOME GOLD FLECKS IN THEM. YOU COULD FETCH A DECENT PRICE IF YOU SOLD THEM. !! THAT'S IT! THAT'S WHAT I WAS SMELLING! IT'S A REALLY UNIQUE SCENT. WHAT IS IT? I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A DRAGON'S TAILBONE OR SOMETHING. DRAGON TAILBONE! I'VE NEVER EATEN DRAGON BONE BEFORE! I HEARD BONES ARE A DELICACY AMONG LYCANS... I BOUGHT IT FROM A CON ARTIST. THERE'S NO WAY IT'S REAL. THE MARKET IS FULL OF FAKE-- THIS IS RATHER... ...FUN. SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING. DINNER WILL BE READY SHORTL-- OH, YOU'RE BACK. YES, BUT... GWEETINGS, COMMANDUH! (GREETINGS, COMMANDER!) WAS THROWING IT A BIT MUCH? I DIDN'T THINK HE'D-ACTUALLY GO AFTER IT. DID YOU COME FOR MY APPROVAL? YESH, SUH! (YES, SIR!) YOU'RE STILL RECOVERING, SO RETURN TO YOUR QUARTERS AND REST. I'LL HAVE WHIS SEND THE DOCUMENTS. YESH, SUH! OH, ABOUT THOSE STONES YOU HAVE... GIVE THEM TO THE COMMANDER IF YOU DON'T NEED THEM. HUH? YOU'LL GET TO SEE SOMETHING INTERESTING IF YOU GIVE THEM TO HIM. CONSIDER IT REPAYMENT FOR THE BONE. PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES FOR MY AIDE'S RUDENESS, YOUR MAJESTY. THE FULL MOON JUST PASSED, SO HE'S NOT FULLY HIMSELF YET. NO, IF ANYONE WAS RUDE, IT WAS ME. REFLECTING ON HER ACTIONS BY THE WAY, PLEASE DON'T CALL ME "YOUR MAJESTY" WHEN IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US. THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT YET. I CAN'T COMMIT SUCH AN ACT OF INSUBORDINATION. PLEASE WITHDRAW YOUR REQUEST. ACROSS MY THREE LIVES, I'D WORN MANY LABELS, FROM CONCUBINE'S DAUGHTER TO PRINCESS, AND EVEN... IMPERIAL CROWN PRINCESS. BUT THEY WEREN'T ALL POSITIVE... I WAS ALSO CALLED TRAITOR, THROWN INTO PRISON, AND EXECUTED AS A CONDEMNED CRIMINAL. THROUGH ALL THAT, I LEARNED THAT RANK, CLASS, AND STATUS MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. IF ONLY IN MY OWN MIND, I WANT TO BE FREE OF THOSE CHAINS. I WAS PRETTY OBNOXIOUS BACK IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, WASN'T I? BE HONEST WITH ME. YOU WERE RATHER... DIRECT. I PLAN TO KEEP BEHAVING THAT WAY FOR STRATEGIC REASONS, BUT IT'S EXHAUSTING. SO, AT LEAST IN PRIVATE, I WANT THINGS TO BE EASY AND COMFORTABLE. BUT YOUR MAJESTY-- I WANT THINGS TO BE EASY. AND COMFORTABLE. WE'LL REVISIT THIS LATER. LET'S GO EAT FIRST. WHEN WILL THE PALACE LOCKDOWN BE LIFTED? NOT UNTIL THAT ILLNESS IS FULLY ERADICATED. I'M AFRAID YOU'LL HAVE TO STAY AT CENTRAL COMMAND FOR THE TIME BEING. YOU'RE THE ONE BEING INCONVENIENCED, COMMANDER. YOUR QUARTERS WERE TAKEN, AFTER ALL. DUKE KIEL IS A PROUD MAN. I WORRY ABOUT THE REPERCUSSIONS OF PROVOKING HIM. AFTER TEARING DOWN THAT TOWERING PRIDE OF HIS, WORKING WITH HIM IS PROBABLY OFF THE TABLE. THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF EMPTY SEATS AT TOMORROW'S MEETING. YOUR MAJESTY-- I ASKED YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT. AS YOU KNOW, HE'S A SEASONED VETERAN AND A SKILLED POLITICIAN. HE WON'T BE EASY TO DEAL WITH. I KNOW. IF HE WITHDRAWS, THERE'LL BE NO ONE TO UNITE THE DIVIDED NOBLES. EXACTLY. COMMANDER. IF IT COMES TO FIGHTING DUKE KIEL'S KNIGHTS, WOULD WE LOSE? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. I WILL WIN WITHOUT FAIL. THAT'S ALL I NEED TO HEAR. WE'LL THINK ABOUT THE REST AFTER TOMORROW'S MEETING. FOR NOW, LET'S EAT! YES, MY APOLOGIES. HAHA. WHAT'S FOR DINNER? Episode 8 PRINCESS ARSINOE HAS ARRIVED. IT SEEMS DUKE KIEL HAS CHOSEN NOT TO RECOGNIZE ME AS QUEEN. THOSE WHO LEFT WILL BE DEEMED TRAITORS AND PUNISHED ACCORDINGLY. THOSE WHO REMAIN, HOWEVER, SHALL BE REGARDED AS LOYAL SUBJECTS AND REWARDED AS SUCH. BEFORE WE MOVE ON, THERE'S SOMETHING I WISH TO ASK. I KNOW WHAT IT IS. I PREPARED GIFTS IN ADVANCE. THERE'S ONE FOR EACH OF YOU. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Dawn of Vengeance #8](/series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6/chapter-8-au5t46) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
