Leon didn't tell anyone where he was going. He left a short letter for his mother—nothing dramatic, just a blunt "I'm leaving. I have to handle some things myself." And then he rode off, alone, on horseback with no guards or real plan. He just knew one thing—he needed to see Riven.
By the time he reached the border town, the sun was high in the sky, and the place didn't look anything like it used to. It was supposed to be neutral territory, a buffer between the Wolf Clan, the Lion Kingdom, and the Snow Leopard Clan. But now it was his territory. He claimed it because of his ego back then... Now, he was not so sure about keeping it.
As a king, to avoid the conflict he started, it would be best to withdraw his troops... Right?
Except he noticed one big change.
Snow Leopard soldiers were everywhere. They had occupied a few buildings and made it their base. They were ready in case things escalated.
Leon's expression darkened.
Soren's people had moved in.
