Hi Everyone,

  I just wanted to update you about the delay in releasing the new chapters of the story. Unfortunately, due to some personal issues, I’ve been unable to take some time off to continue with the updates. I appreciate your patience during this time, and I’m grateful to everyone who has continued to support the story thus far.

  There’s a lot I’ve been planning for the upcoming chapters – including the addition of a Nordic companion, a large-scale battle at the end of this volume, and of course, the marriage of Nathanos. For the next volume, I’m considering the title "All Roads Lead to Epicrotea," if you’ve been keeping up with the story, you can pretty much guess the developments in that volume.

  I’ve already planned everything up to Volume 3, and I’m particularly excited about where the story is headed. Regarding the last battle in Volume 1, I remember some readers asking about the scale, as they felt it was too small. I’ve been striving to keep it close to the Bannerlord game’s scale, where armies in the late game can reach around 3k, with typical sizes around 1k. To address this, I’m planning to include multiple armies with sizes up to 3k in special battles, while most general battles will remain around the 1k mark.

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  A huge thanks to CyberSorceress for the corrections and critiques you provided. I appreciate your input, though, to be honest, I’ve not had the time to go through everything yet. Rest assured, once I’m back on track, I will make sure to address those suggestions.

  I want to say thank you all for sticking with this story up until now. I’m committed to getting back to work on it. I have four chapters almost completed, and once I’m back home this weekend, I’ll release them after some proofreading.

  Apart from those four chapters, I plan to continue the writing process by mid-March.

  Thanks for your support.
