The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 298 Art of Shrinking Bones

Isolde finally understood.

The mention of the nation and the world must refer to the Battle of Blackmere.

Finished

In the Battle of Blackmere, the Eryndral Empire suffered a crushing defeat, losing nearly 100,000 soldiers.

The Eryndral Empire was forced to negotiate peace, ceding ten states to the Thalvinar.

This battle was led by William. He had become arrogant and ambitious, gradually ignoring her advice. By the time of the Battle of Blackmere, he was so confident of victory that he didn’t take her along. Besides, she was pregnant at the time and unfit for battle.

That battle ended in a devastating defeat, casting a dark shadow over the land.

After the army returned to Argentum, the King didn’t imprison anyone. Instead, he ordered an investigation into the reasons for the defeat, which eventually led to her being accused of treason.

But that was five years later. Would she even live to see that day?

Queen Mother could tell that Isolde understood. She said, “You and Oliver need to achieve great deeds. Do you understand?”

Isolde nodded. “Understood!”

She and Oliver needed to accomplish great things, to earn everyone’s trust, so that five years later, they could lead the army.

“You are destined for great things. So, the trivial matters of the inner chambers shouldn’t hold you back. You can be decisive in your actions. I will support you, but your actions must be clean. Don’t give anyone a reason to criticize you. I can protect you, but any blemish on your reputation will be a stumbling block for a general. Even the smallest flaw, if exploited by someone with ill intentions, can be blown out of proportion and become a major obstacle.”

Isolde felt a surge of passion and determination. “I… understand!”

Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction but remained stern. “Keep these words to yourself. Don’t breathe a word of this to the King. Last time, when you requested to go to Zloimond, your words were inappropriate, and the King became suspicious. I trust the King, but there are some things he shouldn’t know. It could affect his judgment and his ability to implement national policies.”

“I know!” Isolde said.
