A battle is over, but the war against Tyrion continues; however, those Naga who follow Mira and Lucien, as well as the Mermaids who just fought, are very optimistic about the future.
But soldiers just follow orders and trust their leaders because it's up to them to realize the bright future that the people want. And it's precisely what Lucien, Nea, and Mira are doing right now.
"What are we going to do next?" Mira asks, looking at Lucien and Nea.
"We must travel quickly to the capital and defend our position there until Tyrion appears." Ramla can't help but speak; she clearly doesn't think that decision is up to her, but as the Mermaid army's most important general, she wants to make clear the best course of action from the military point of view.
