A week had passed since Soumya arrived in Hawk Kingdom. Shivansh had already left for Blackthrone, and the earlier plan regarding Jade Empire had been delayed. Because of this, Devansh decided to handle the situation himself and sent Shivansh away sooner than expected.

In Hawk Kingdom, the morning was quiet and cold. Soumya slowly woke up, still feeling sleepy. "Good morning," she mumbled to herself as she sat up on the bed. She gently rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. This room was once her safe place, but now it felt completely different. It no longer gave her comfort.
