As Alaric continued to rise through the ranks, the empire faced a new threat: a coalition of rebellious lords seeking to overthrow the throne. Elesis was tasked with leading a campaign to quash the rebellion, and Alaric was assigned to her personal unit.
The battles were fierce, and the losses heavy. Alaric witnessed the horrors of war firsthand, but through it all, Elesis remained steadfast, a beacon of hope and strength for her soldiers.
During one pivotal battle, Elesis was injured while defending Alaric from an ambush. Despite her wound, she fought fiercely, driving the enemy back. After the battle, Alaric stayed by her side as the healers tended to her.
"You shouldn't have risked yourself for me," he said, his voice thick with emotion.
Elesis met his gaze, her crimson eyes burning with intensity. "A commander's duty is to protect her soldiers, no matter the cost."
"But what about you? Who protects you?" Alaric asked, his voice trembling.
Elesis didn't answer, but the silence spoke volumes. At that moment, Alaric made a silent vow: he would become strong enough to protect her, just as she had protected him.
