Eadric's pov
I sat still like a statue as the ministers talked over one another.
This meeting was supposed to be important but they are arguing way too much to reason properly.
I sat at the head of the table, flanked by the two war ministers, each with their own agenda burning brightly in their eyes.
Minister Dario cleared his throat and fixed me with a piercing gaze. He was advocating for peace.
"Your Majesty, I implore you to consider the benefits of diplomacy in this matter. The Blood Mages, though volatile, can be reasoned with. If we extend an olive branch, we may avoid unnecessary bloodshed and forge a path to peace."
Opposite him, Minister Valeria scoffed.
"Peace with the Blood Mages? Madness!" he turned to me, "Your Majesty, we cannot afford to entertain such folly. These vile sorcerers have brought nothing but chaos and terror upon our lands. We must crush them before they unleash further devastation upon our people."
