Chapter 86:
As Sarah, Jelo, and the Three Kings journeyed further into the beleaguered territories, their alliance had begun to send waves of optimism across the realm. The tighter they wound their bonds of unity, the louder the echo of their message in the hearts of the oppressed.
The next frontier in their path was one marked by despair and hardship. The Three Kings had often avoided confronting the bleak reality of these regions. However, Sarah, filled with empathy and a steadfast resolve, was determined to lighten the burden of the suffering populace.
