Chapter 136 Dous Rosalle Know Your Plan?

Georgia's POV Smoke settled in the ait, causing an eerie feeling to cross the land we had justbattled upon. Priest Cerina had agreed to offer help to the northern villages by fighting off therogues. However, that was only the very first step for the displaced people to re-build their homes.With the advancements our forces had made in the war, the rogue leader had no choice but tomove back and lie low.

But even with the pleasant progress we'd made, there was still so much to be done. “Georgia!” awarrior yelled, catching my attention and causing me to turn.

"Yes?" I asked with a smile, pleased that he was addressing me by my name, and not adding af*cking useless prefix of “miss” in front of it.

It took days for me to get it through to them. I wasn't the snooty lady they were expecting. I wantedto be seen as any other person in the army.

“I was sent to inform you that the council is meeting. With the battle done, they are looking to goover our next move.”

“That's wonderful,” I replied. We needed to meet and talk about what to do next. With the battlewon, things had to be determined regarding how we would move forward.

"Go see that the border on the eastern front of the village is secured. As for the rogues whosurrendered,” I sighed, thinking it over for a moment, “place them in a holding area until I talk toJace."

Jace and I had moved these forces across the land like an ongoing tidal wave of vengeance. Anyrogues who didn’t want to submit and fall under the northern rule were killed, and those whosubmitted were spared.

Growing closer to the main tent, I spotted Jace walking with another man. His tall burly figure stoodout against the crowd.

"Jace!" I called out.

He turned to me with a smile as he shook his head. “Hey, glad to see you could make the meeting.You'd skip and keep having fun out there,” he chuckled.

“I wish,” I grinned, “but I heard General Vandough and someone higher up are here.”

Falling in step with each other, we headed into the tent. The group of leaders were already there,waiting to hear what we were to do next. The man at the head of it all was General Lee Vandough.He was the right hand to the high priestess herself. He must have brought news from the highpriestess.

“Welcome, everyone!” he bellowed out in a hearty tone with a firm and serious look upon his face. “Iam glad that we were all able to make it through this battle in one piece. As much as I wish it wasover, we still have a long way to go.”

Murmured agreements filtered through the air at his statement. I listened to his words and was a bitconfused.

About two months ago, Blake and I were saved by the Winter Forest pack. Neither of us knew thatthere were people living in the far north. It was said that the climate there was not suitable forliving.

How I persuaded them to help the civilians in the Eastern Kingdom was a long story. Anyway, nowhere I was, with the leaders of the Winter Forest pack, finally chasing out the rogues that took somany innocent lives and destroyed so many homes.

The northern villages couldn't be more grateful for what we had done. However, I didn't quiteunderstand what he meant by a long way to go.”

in the course of the past couple of months, most of the villages were taken back from the rogues.Like the high priestess had told me, the Winter Forest Pack would want to remain unknown by most.My thoughts were interrupted by the general's question. “Does anyone have a status report? Helooked towards Jact and!

*The territory is ours, and the rogues who submitted will be taken back to the city for their hearing,’Jace announced.

Ouns, was I overly sensitive?

“That's wonderful. What about supplies? Georgia, how are the supply runs and the wounded?”snapped out of my own doubts and answered right away. “We are down about thirty percent onfood, and we've got enough for two more months until the next refill. However, our medicalsupplies are at a loss. We only have about fifteen percent of the original supplies remaining anddesperately need more.” My words caused shock to flow through the men as the general stared atme with a concerned expression.

“What about the wounded.. What is our count?” he asked softly.

“About one hundred and thirty, sir, but there are almost five hundred civilians who were injured. Wejust didn't get here in time before the rogues ran through them. There was a lot more damage donehere than there was at the last village.”

I couldn't stop thinking about the havoc that the rogues played on this particular village. It wasalmost as if they had been looking for something, but no matter how much I looked around to seewhat it was, I couldn't replace anything.

"We will need someone to go back and request some supply trucks from the high priest. Georgia,would you be the messenger for this task, and make sure we have the supplies back in four days?”he asked, as a smile crested my face.

"Of course, General. You know I am all about helping the cause.”

The general chuckled at my comment, nodding his head. “And take the captured rogues along withyou to the priest, Georgia.”

Curiosity filled me with concerns over the rogues that had been captured.

"General, are we planning to integrate the rogues within the troops or hold off?” I asked, curious towhat they had planned. We had discussed a lot over the weeks, but there was still a lot ofuncertainty.

"Yes. They will be integrated, but I want them thoroughly inspected before moving forward.”Nodding my head, I took in what he said. It only made sense to take precautions.

The general cleared his throat and announced, “Now, there is something I want to share with therest of you who didn’t know.”

His statement drew everyone's attention. I looked around the room curiously at the others. Most ofthem seemed to be more than happy about what he is going to say. I was one of the few thathadn't gotten the news.

“For those of you who don't know, our princess has returned!” he rejoiced.

“Princess?” I asked in confusion.

Lee looked at me and nodded with a smile. “Yes, our princess and your friend!”

My eyes were widened. That sounded almost too good to be true!

I rushed over to him and grabbed his arm. “Rosalie? She's alive? And she's here?!”

He gave me a confirmation nod with a smile. “She's with the high priestess.”

No wonder he had specifically asked me to go for the supply run because he knew Rosalie wasthere.

te Roshe Know your fan?

I was over the moon, and I couldn't wait to run back and see her. I lelt my eyes were warm withtearg. I had so many questions to ask her. How did she escape, where did she go, what exactlyhappened...

She had made # back to her people! After all this time, she was able to replace her way back to her ownhome. Happiness Nowed through me when I thought of her. And was the baby also around? Mylittle nephew or niece.! just couldnt help but smile ear to ear.

Unter chaos was the only way to describe the scene before me. Their voices talked over one anotheras they spoke about how Rosale coming home would save them all.

Rosalie had become a beacon of hope amongst her people

The hollars of happiness and excitement flowed from the other wolves in the tent, but there were afew people who were skeptical. “Are you sure, general? We haven't been able to replace her for somany years!”

"Yes, I can testify it's her,” a elderly woman's voice rang out, causing everyone to turn to her. Hergraying hair and warm smile took me by surprise.

"Wise woman Seraphine! You're back!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, if you still have any doubts, I'm sure Seraphine would be more than happyto answer them,” the general replied with a smile as he gestured to the woman.

“Thank you, Lee. It's been a while.” Seraphine gave him a small hug as if greeting an old friend.“What's she like?” someone asked from the back, piquing everyone's attention. Their murmursbrought a lot of attention to the situation.

“I know so many of you are interested in knowing what our princess is like, and I want to assure youthat she is everything we could have hoped for. She is kind, caring, and compassionate. She has allthe qualities of the old queens and so much more.”

“Will she change the outcome of the war? What are her plans?” one man called out.

"Will she ride the war front and kill these rogues with us?” another yelled.

"Yes, she will do all of those things and so much more,” Seraphine added with a smile, nodding andspeaking with multiple people on the war efforts and rebuilding the kingdom.

The crowd awed over the details, smiles lighting their faces at hearing about how wonderful Rosaliewas. It had been so long since I had seen her, and I contemplated what she was like now after allthis time.

It was amazing to see the hope she brought.

"Yes, our queen will save us!”

“Her blood will heal the wounded and strengthen our army!”

I frowned. What did they mean? Blood? However, this wasn't the right time and place to figure thatout.

"With our queen now back with her people, we will need to seek her council to progress furthertowards the border,” a dark-haired man stated with a smirk, causing a commotion of agreement tofollow.

“There is still a lot to figure out, but I am more than confident our queen will lead us to victory.”"Our queen has returned to her people, and with her leadership we will be able to forge an empirethat cannot be taken down. Her leadership will help to bring back the old nation and rightful rulersof the east!”

“Wait... what?” I mumbled.

Forge an empire? Bring back the old nation? What were they talking about?

The girl I had once known was gentle and kind. She would never seek out war and hurt innocentlives for no reason!

“Quick question,” I said over the crowded conversation. “Does Rosalie know your plan?

Seraphine’s eyes turned to me. “What do you mean?”

All eyes were on me. I could have been wrong, but the Rosalie I knew was not one that wouldintentionally raise a

What's more, regardless of what she would like to do, I just didnt like that they seemed to bemaking decisions for her.

Does Rosalie know you plan to make her your queen and have her fight in a war?” I repeated,

The one thing I did know for sure, though, was that Rosalie had grown tired of being told what todo, and she surely wouldn't like being lied to. That was why she ran away from my brother. Mywords seemed to hold some weight, and everyone in the room quieted down, including thegeneral.

Seraphine lifted her chin, and her eyes stared into mine. “Why wouldn't she? She is the rightful rulerand wouldn't leave her people unattended.”

I raised my brows. Rosalie was my friend, and I would hate to see her forced into doing somethingshe didn’t want to again. However, I also knew that if she chose to, she could be an amazing leader.I just wanted to make sure she was the one who made the decision, not others.

A smile escaped my lips as I stared back at Seraphine. “If you truly treat her as your queen, shouldn'tyou run these plans by Rosalie before you start assuming what she is going to do?”
