Chapter 82 The Secret Weapon

• I had always known that the royal court held secrets. They kept their dark corners well-hidden, under layers of lies and manipulation, but none of that mattered now. We were no longer playing by their rules. The more I dug into the depths of the kingdom, the more I learned—about the court’s twisted games, their manipulation of power, and the weapons they had carefully tucked away for a day like today.
• It was Blue who first mentioned the weapon. He had always been my steady anchor, the one who seemed to find answers when everything else seemed clouded.
• “There’s something I’ve heard whispers of,” he said one night as we sat in my tent after another long day of war preparations. The air outside was cold, and the fire inside flickered, casting shadows across the room. “Something they’re hiding in the royal vault. A weapon. A real one. Powerful enough to kill a Red Lycan.”
