The meeting room was modest but functional. A wooden table, scarred with years of use, dominated the space. Around it sat Li An, her sharp, intelligent eyes scanning the faces of Captain Wei and Ling Xiowan, a scholar who had helped the residents in the village with their education.

Li An straightened her posture, her refined demeanor hinting at her imperial roots. Though clad in simple garments befitting her role as a leader of this fledgling village, she exuded a commanding presence.
