Author's POV
The sound of horses galloping across the valley echoed through the atmosphere, puffs of dust rising into the air. On top of the horse was Philip himself, the reins in his hands as he kicked the horse to move faster. Right now, he was trying to get away from the castle because of the war that had suddenly erupted.
Everything happened so suddenly, and now he had lost his wife and only son. It was so devastating that he had never felt so helpless in a very long time.
He harbored a deep resentment toward the Golden Island Kingdom, but there was nothing he could do. Right now, the most important thing was escaping the kingdom while there was still time.
The seven kingdoms were already at war, and the rate of deaths in several places was skyrocketing. Now that the war had reached Sol Kingdom, there was nothing he could do apart from escaping. He felt that soldiers from the Golden Island Kingdom would eventually come for him.
