"Also that child was holding back," Gray blurted out and her words surprised King Girsal.
"Holding back?" King Girsal asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Definitely," Gray replied with a nonchalant shrug, twirling down the hall. "I'm pretty sure she's got more tricks up her sleeve."
"Oh, speaking of tricks," Gray turned to face King Girsal with a sly grin, "You mentioned a war in three weeks, right?"
"Yes, that's right, Apostle," King Girsal confirmed.
"Here's an idea," Gray suggested with a mischievous glint in her eye, "Let her go solo in the war. I mean, toss her in with not just regular folks, but High Humans, Chaos, and Holy Humans."
King Girsal was taken aback. "Apostle, that's outrageous!"
"Just hear me out," Gray said, undeterred. "If her life's on the line, you can always swoop in to save her. I bet you're interested and eager to see what she's truly made of, right? What better way to test her strength than a life-or-death situation?"
