699 Gift Baskets to Thusia

(Several hours later)

Victoria, Edith, and Lailah were taking a stroll outside the castle. The thusians erupted a large field filled with dummies, archery targets, and small arenas to hone their skills. They were greeted by the soldiers with a respectful bow. Lailah couldn't care less about the war preparation. All she wanted was to keep Edith safe until Ghost and the Thusians settled their debts. In case she had met Ghost, she wanted to ask for an antidote for Edith.

"Your royal highness," a thusian soldier called out for Victoria. They turned around.

"What is it?" asked Victoria. 

"We have received several crates addressed for you and his majesty," 

Victoria creased her brows. Neither she nor her father had ordered anything. 

"Does it say where they came from?"

Victoria noticed the soldier's face turning grim.

"They are from Suven, Zulon, and Northguard,"  said the soldier.
