Fhfhfhf hazing the most terrifying knight! This should be interesting....
Also tbh I'm here for the romance, there's no 'action' tags on this series. Covering the battle would have been like 5 updates, and our main character isn't part of the fighting forces right now. The point of the investigation was to show the main character earning her position through hard work again, and building up the sense of the kings trust in her paying off.
The battle is only 'the most important part' if you assume that the war is the plot of this story. But like. The romance is the plot of this story, and we already know the King doesn't even realize his own feelings until the war is over; which is when I imagine their actual *romance* will properly kick off.
So, really, this whole war sequence is mostly starting the slow burn.
I understand being frustrated if you expected a different story (IE an Action War Story), but. *gestures* I wouldn't be surprised if we do see some battle scenes later, like once the main character is at a point where she'd be at the Kings side.
