Aha, so Liena and Ernst seemed to have been working together and have the same ideals, but just so happen to find themselves on opposite sides for the moment. Sam really outdid himself with the whole ruse, he's endangering his and his family's lives due to that lie.
I'm glad he got interested in magic since that scene must've traumatized anyone and he had the chance to at least try to save Lady Liena. As the title of your novel says, this is indeed a battlefield of swords and flowers, since flowers need to bloom even in the most arduous environment, just like Liena.
This battle of ideals pretty much shows the state of the world and the ideologies of the characters, which was great as well.
Keep it up!
