#Chapter 403 - Delegation

Rafe sighs, frustrated and tired of waiting for his father to finish his sentence. “Or,” he says, continuing where his dad left off, “Ariel did some serious damage to their forces in that battle before they took her, and Atalaxia is forced to treat with our ambassadors because they’re no match for us in war. Or, they’re buying time to rally their forces again.” Dominic turns his head to look at his son with pride, pleased that Rafe put that all together. “Did Ariel really do that?” Mark asks, his eyes going wide. “Yes,” Ella murmurs, a bit of pride in her voice as she continues to pet Mark’s hair. “Big Sis destroyed their entire air force and damaged a large portion of their ground troops and supplies.” “It’s the reason why the physical battle has come to a grinding halt,” Dominic says. “Ariel is…incredibly powerful, especially with Jackson at her side. If they hadn’t managed to take her when they did, it’s likely that she would have ended the war that night. Which is…insane.”
