Prelude 2
Hearing her friend's question, Elen sighed as she closed her eyes for a moment. She then said. "Well, previously, we were expecting a big battle to occur any moment now since the enemy side was taking losses greater than ours."
"However, in the last few days, the enemy side's actions have suddenly decreased in intensity, almost as if they were retreating..."
"Impossible! The Allens would never act in such a way without the war being lost." Elena said promptly.
"Hmm, I think so too... That's why it's so strange. Maybe they took one step backward to take two steps forward."
"But regardless of what the Allen family allies are planning, our side is ready to fight at any time!"
"So, don't worry about that at the moment. Just continue leading your life and business in the Neel family as you had been doing these weeks since your return from the Black Plain."
