Action VII

After Johan dispatched Unit One from the military barracks to pursue Princess Rosaria heading east, Yumi took position at a high vantage point, her eyes glued to the sniper telescope, monitoring every suspicious movement. The cold wind swept across the tower, but Yumi remained focused, her fingers steadily adjusting the weapon's focus. "The target is still far... but I'll keep watching," she murmured softly.

Meanwhile, Philip turned to face his mother once more. "Mother, you don't intend to plead for Rosaria's mercy, do you?" he asked, his eyes filled with doubt.

The Queen sighed, her smile thin but full of certainty. "Why would I? Knowing your nature, I'm sure you still have a heart for your sister. Her sins are not as great as mine. She can still be forgiven, can't she?" she said calmly, as if implying an unwavering confidence.
