As in the previous life, the barbarians crossed the river and tried to take Dansto.
In court, Prince Edward volunteered to go to war.
Lambert stepped forward to go with him. After all, he also had military power.
Then, in the eyes of others, he was on the side of Prince Edward.
But it also meant that he and Esther had taken a risk.
That day, I went back to visit my parents and ran into Gloria, who had also returned for some
reason.
Seeing me, she sneered, “I hear Lord Lowell is going to war, and you’re going with him? Are
you afraid he’ll fool around there? But Regina, the more you try to seize a man, the more you may
fail.”
I had no intention of arguing with her.
Because a few days ago, I had secretly shipped my money there.
With the help of Esther, I bought a batch of useful medicinal materials.
Gloria continued, “Regina, you’re so delicate, but the border is tough, with heavy wind and
snow. If your skin is worn out, I am afraid it will not be pleasing to men.”
I took a step closer to her, rolled up her sleeve off her guard, revealing a bruise inside, and
snorted, “Gloria, you’ve suffered so much and still worry about me?”
In an instant, Gloria’s face turned gloomy.
She hastily pulled down her sleeves and bit her lip. “I just fell.”
“Yeah, I wonder what kind of fall could leave so many bruises on your hands? Didn’t I give you
a salve before? Not enough?”
Gloria’s words choked.
Charles was a madman, with many ways to torture people.
Gloria was probably even more severely injured in parts of her body that couldn’t be seen.
How dare she taunt me? Charles would also go to war with Prince Edward. How could he not
take her along?
The border was cold and harsh, and with Charles‘ oppression, Gloria should worry about
herself.
I didn’t want to argue with her. I came here only to bid farewell to my parents, even though they had always favored Gloria more and the love they gave me was not even a fraction of what they gave her.
But I was still grateful for them giving me life.
From now on, the road ahead would be long and arduous, and we might never meet again. The war was urgent, and we almost prepared everything overnight before setting off.
On the day I went to war with Lambert, I saw Charles again.
Shockingly, Gloria didn’t come along.
Perhaps sensing my confusion, Charles leaned in close to my ear and sneered, his eyes aloof. “Sister, are you disappointed to see me alone?”

His hot breath stuck to the back of my neck, making me shiver.
I hated his touch, his breath, and his voice.

Seeing him reminded me of those days when I had no freedom and was imprisoned.
I curled my fingers inward and took a few steps away from him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I was about to get on the carriage, yet Charles grabbed my clothes.
I turned around, and he was standing in the wind, staring at me intently, his face cold, but I
could see the obsession in his eyes.
I showed indifference and pulled away, frowning. “Lord Perez, you’ve crossed the line.”
Then I turned and got on the carriage.
The journey was long and arduous. Even though we traveled all night, it still took more than twenty days to reach Yugen.
By then, the barbarians had occupied Dansto.
We camped outside Yugen. Along the way, Prince Edward, Lambert, and Charles were discussing strategies.
The barbarians grew up on the grasslands and were skilled in horse riding and archery, preferring guerrilla wars.
But our soldiers had to form square formations and couldn’t move as flexibly as the
barbarians.
The long–term guerrilla warfare had worn out the soldiers‘ patience, which was also the reason why Dansto fell.
This time, we came to fight them head–on, to confront the difficulties, disrupt their cavalry’s pace, and their tactics would be useless.
We just needed to be fast.
As far as I remembered, this battle lasted from spring to winter.
Although we knew their combat style, we still couldn’t stop the endless stream of their
soldiers.
It was a decisive move at the end of that winter that finally defeated them.
Moreover, even though we were here, it was hard to ensure that every step of history would
repeat exactly as it did in the previous life.
We were prepared for a tough struggle.
Along the way, seeing the refugees fleeing from Dansto, Esther, with the help of the lord of Yugen, used her medical skills to treat the refugees and provide them with food.
She was patient, not afraid of hardship or fatigue.
“As a doctor, treating and saving lives is my duty. How could I ever look down upon patients?”
D The sunlight shone on her face, making her radiant. Humans were complex creatures. In that manor, she fought against Gloria over a man, using
cruel means.

But here, she showed a kind heart as a doctor, not giving up on anyone.
I sighed, realizing this was human nature.
After months of hard work, I fell into a deep sleep.
In my dream, it seemed that a hand was wandering on my face, bringing a cool touch.
Hot breath lingered by my lips, making me uncomfortable.
I awoke to find someone by my bed in the moonlight.
It was Charles!
