fun lil tidbit factoid that has no bearing on the story at all but is only a lil background detail; that vixen on kitchen duty Pharan mentions is Erin, Aryn's mom/Nass' aunt. She wasn't able to get any screen time during these previous chapters, but i still wanted her to play a role in the story nonetheless dammit
Only a miracle can fight back and save the kingdom! We need GUTS! Save the princess! Join the resistance! Start the revolution for the next chapter! And make Sho-moron's army pay for what they have done!

Another what if scenario pic would be interesting from what I've posted a few comments down...Shomari standing trial on war crime charges in the ancient Rome like Kingdom of Taruki that took him down, along with defeating his army, thus liberating the Fennics. Three lions keeping Shomari under control with steel chain tethers during his trial. I can imagine the Kingdom of Taruki distributing posters offering, "Reward, Dead or alive, 500 gold aurei, for the capture of Shomari the Conqueror", before they finally got him. 500 aurei back then being like $5,000,000 in today's economy.

I had thought of a scenario with an interesting twist of fate;
It is a known fact that soon after a nation or kingdom had fought a war, their military is not as strong until they had time to recuperate and build their forces back up from their losses during battles. Entering the twist of fate...Suppose there was a 3rd kingdom, Kingdom of Taruki, that had always dreamed of ambitions of conquering Shomari's kingdom long before Shomari's forces ever invaded the Kingdom of the Fennics. The only reason the Taruki Kingdom never carried out those ambitions was because Shomari's kingdom had always been too militarily powerful for them to try it.
However, from observations gathered by spies and recon agents, the Kingdom of Taruki, now knows Shomari's military forces are in that vulnerable weakened state still recuperating from their last war, thus rendering the Kingdom of Taruki's military being now more powerful than Shomari's military. King Cheetah and his military leaders (consting of genets, a lion, a leopard, hyenas and mongooses) of the Taruki Kingdom decide now is the opertunity to make that move on Shomari's kingdom before they have a chance to build back their military power to what it was before the war. King Cheetah's victory in that scenario would place Shomari's subjects along with the Fennics under their rule, thus starting the rise of The Taruki Empire.

A thought occurred to me about that scenario I came up with: In this scenario theory, after the fall of Shomari's kingdom, King Cheetah of the Taruki Kingdom would grant the Fennecs their liberation and the return of their sovereignty to them. Also they would take Shomari and his commanders to the Taruki Kingdom to stand trial in behalf of Shajarat for the war crimes Shomari and his forces committed against the Fennics of Shajarat. I pictured them being tried by a panel of six judges...Three judges being high ranking Taruki military officers...The other three judges being Fennec high ranking military officers who are invited to travel to the Taruki Kingdom to serve on the bench along side the Taruki judges.
King Cheetah and his government officials were not really interested in subjugating the Fennics of Shajarat. Their main goal was to take Shomari down and annex the lands of his kingdom because of Shomari being a thorn in the side to the region with his track record of launching unprovoked attacks of conquest and brutality against peaceful kingdoms. The inhabitants of the Kingdom of Taruki are very empathetic about injustices committed against the innocent.
By the way...I imagine the Taruki Kingdom as being very advanced and highly developed with well established infrastructure systems, houses and buildings constructed to high standards of workmanship, the invention of concrete, paved highways, major stone arch bridges, and a culture of knowledge and enlightenment, all of which rivals that of ancient Rome. Their military weapons and equipment are the most advanced and fearful for that day and time. Even though a king and queen are the heads of state, the Taruki Kingdom operates like a republic with a parliament and senate consisting of publicly elected officials. In the scenario mentioned here, it is this kind of kingdom that set out coming after Shomari and his henchbeasts.
