38 Chapter 38-Woodland Castle Battle

Lady Kristy stared out over the slaughter and for the initial moment in her life, after her father King Anjo's animosity towards her and her brother Andrie, she felt the loss of human life. She simply desired to help the Mark that kept her still, silent and sane. She saw war before, and she knew the death of many, but this was beyond the measure of war, beyond destruction, scorn, and waste. It was a bloodbath, a message, and an unmistakable declaration of war. Less than a month before, she sent someone to warn the nearby village to move. She advises them to prepare to evacuate their homes. She tried to make them understand that the village and the castle were too sprawling and too open to be defensible. Not only that, but she was even allowed to accept those who would come to security. None listened, and they would not believe her.
