Harlan, I mused, was indeed a man of rare kindness.
A deep sigh escaped me.
âNo wonder Iâm drawn to him.
Harlan is truly an exceptional person, a pillar of reliability.
â
The subordinate couldnât help but display a sense of pride, patting his chest as he said, âAbsolutely.
He was our leader, after all!â
Harlan overheard our conversation, his discomfort evident through an awkward cough.
IT couldnât help but chuckle.
It was amusing to see him in this light.
But before our exchange could continue, Danielle interjected.
Clinging to Harlan, she spoke in a voice laden with dependence.
âHarlan, Iâm so weary now.
Could you carry me for a bit?â
Harlan appeared caught off guard by her unexpected request.
He turned to me with an apologetic expression.
âZoe, Iâm truly sorry, but I must attend to Danielle.
I wonât be able to stay with you right now.
Perhaps you can spend some time with my friends; Iâll be back shortly.
â
I waved it off with a placid demeanor.
âNo worries, go ahead.
â
Beneath my composed exterior, there lingered a trace of disappointment.
Consideration of Danielleâs tragic past convinced me that I ought not to harbor resentment.
But as Harlan and Danielle left, the latter, cradled in her brotherâs arms, cast me a triumphant look over his shoulder.
Her eyes betrayed a subtle challenge.
I couldnât help but frown.
I had a strange feeling that I couldnât quite put my finger on.
Danielle attempted to bring me into the womenâs battlefield, treating me as though I were an imagined foe.
She considered Harlan to be a precious resource and was determined to keep him.

Soon, the news of Zoe and Harlanâs victory came, and the news that Luis had taken people to attack Roz Town quickly spread throughout the entire Thorn Edge Pack.
âHow could this be?â
Everyone felt it was inconceivable and was confused.
âThe Barton family is so rich, and they are also the upper class in the Thorn Edge Pack.
How could Luis do such a bad thing?â
Yet, the real truth remained hidden from the prying eyes of the pack.
Amid mounting and irrefutable evidence, Caleb methodically conducted an exhaustive audit of the Barton familyâs deeds.
The Barton-backing elders were left dumbstruck, with nothing to say; the proceedings unfolded seamlessly.
