"Any soldier of mine that dares to maltreat any woman like this two morons, will face a fate similar to theirs." The two soldiers were screaming in pain while their hands were still held tight against the table. "I want each and every one of you to take turns in beaten them up." She left with that but stopped after a few steps "It's either you or them, you either beat or be beaten" with that been said, the soldiers didn't hesitate to beat up the two rascals. Lina went back to where the princess was and saw her still cry which annoyed her to no end. "You're so weak, you can't even defend yourself from two common soldiers." She said annoyed. "That's enough Lina! she's still shocked. I swear to God I'll kill those two bastards" he said with anger in his eyes. Lina rolled her eyes at him and said to her soldiers "Take the princess to my room I need to talk to the captain alone." The soldiers did as they were asked and gave the siblings privacy. "You shame me brother, what sort of spell did she place on you?" she asked feeling confused. "Are you even still my soldier? Because no soldier of mine will behave like you are behaving right now!!" Anger evident in her eyes as she spoke to her brother. "Do you want to bring shame to us, to our army, to England or to the Queen? You of all people should know how hard I've worked to get here now and I am not about to lose the respect and name I have made for myself, I refuse to lose it all because of you!" she said pointing at him. "You may not care about me or our family name, but I do, I care about our Parents reputation in the society." she stopped taking a deep breath. "Like I told you before, I will not hesitate to behead you if you're going to be the downfall of this army." and with that she left the prison. Charles stood there and starred at his sister's retreating figure. When Lina entered her tent, the princess was still sobbing at the far end of the tent. "I am not my brother, do not expect me to pamper you, you're old enough to defend yourself with or without your powers but you let those fools maltreat you. Pathetic." She said, but there was no reply from the princess, then she strolled to her tea table to fetch herself some tea. From the corner of her eyes she saw that the princess was still shaking and sighed, "Have some tea it will help you calm down." she said walking to the princess with a cup of tea in her hand. The princess collected the tea with trembling hands, starring at the tea and then the General suspiciously. "Be rest assured, if I wanted you dead, I would not need a poison for that." "And you should get some sleep, who knows it might be your last." she said nonchalantly with a shrug before going to her bed to have a much needed sleep. The day of the Battle. Lina got up early from bed, feeling a little nervous. "Get it together Lina! This is not your first war, it's just another war" she whispered to herself before getting out of bed to get dressed. Lina put on her amour and tied her hair in a low bun. She turned to look at the Princess who was still fast asleep, she turned to the door and left her tent. She saw brother as soon as she got out of the tent. She snorted and walked pass him not even acknowledging his presence. "Forgive me for how I behaved last night." he said still following right behind her, she just continued walking without sparing him a glance or even responding. "I would never sabotage our army or ruin the name you have made for yourself." He took a deep breath. "I look up to you Lina, you are my elder sister I know you've been through a lot to get to where you are now, and I know you are still working hard to maintain that name. I'm really sorry if I made you doubt my loyalty for you, please forgive this foolish brother of yours." he said with a broken voice and glassy eyes. Lina stopped and turned around, before pulling her brother into a tight hug. "Glad you came back to your senses, and don't make me regret forgiving you." She told him before patting on his back. "Welcome back soldier, we have a war to win." and she left to coordinate her army and go over their war strategy. After they went over their strategy, the all matched to the battlefield.
