the light of empire

"I wonder my destiny directed by someone or I simply believe this path myself, everything might have changed if I hadn't wanted something, if I had limited myself to staying in silence, maybe everyone ..."

The desperate cry of the people was heard while the whole place was on fire, that figure remained conscious even when her body was completely wounded, she felt the looks of hatred from those people who looked at her under her feet

- I… did all this….

Said an agonizing voice with tears in her eyes, the blows to her body continued from those who looked at her with contempt while cursing her and wishing her death more than anything in this world, a slight smile formed on the face of that woman who was injured, the villagers looked at her with surprise, her body was completely destroyed how that woman could smile even so, the woman still kept her smile while her body collapsed

- Want to see you….

She-she she said in her whisper as she looked at the sky and extended her hand to him exclaimed

- I want to be with…

That sentence could not be finished, the body of that woman had given her last breath, the villagers when they saw that she had died raised their voices in a shout of victory as if that death were a blessing, they all suddenly fell silent when they saw the silhouette of a young man approaching that body and taking it in his arms, the citizens recoiled a bit when they saw the image of the young man who was silently clinging to that corpse, desperately trying to wake him up, seeing that there was no response from whoever his conscience called got lost in that pain -

Time is valuable so it must be appreciated, what you want you must do after all nothing is eternal, when you think it is time it may be too late ...

20 years ago

Lavitia a continent that was very prosperous, which divided into four kingdoms, one of these four kingdoms is the Western Nakahud kingdom, this kingdom was one of the largest on the continent, but not the most prosperous of the four, since it part The kingdom was surrounded by swamps and demons, King Romanious in his reign is loved by all his people, thanks to this the kingdom had prospered, in the middle of the year, the news of an heir full of hope to the entire kingdom, in Nakahud the birth rate was very low due to the evil energy that was presented by the origin of those lands, for decades even for the kings who were the protectors of the earth it was difficult to have an heir, after the birth of the heir to the kingdom of Nakahud the entire kingdom was celebrating while both kings presented their heir, the people were hopeful in the one who would be their next monarch, the surprise of the citizens was to learn that the heir was a girl, although e silence occurred for a moment among those present shortly after the shouts of joy were heard towards the new princess of the kingdom, decades had passed since a princess was born in that kingdom, both kings raised their firstborn with fervor

- Just like the stars in the sky ... I hope that you, my little Stella, shine for eternity

Those present acclaimed the name of their princess while the celebration for the birth of the princess began, both kings were happy with their little girl, while those present gave their gifts one by one for the newborn one of the magicians of the church had appeared At the banquet, giving a greeting to both kings, he placed his gaze on the much acclaimed new heiress, when he saw her he let out a light laugh while looking at the kings

- Your majesties of her ... I wish you my congratulations on the princess and I must say that the princess is very unique ...

The king frowned at that unpleasant comment from the magician, those present began to murmur among themselves trying to understand what the magician was referring to, doubts had been sown, one after another they asked the magician to whom he was referring, this way through the room while stroking his beard

- It's strange ... the princess has a unique hair color the first-born of the crown have had the golden color that predominates as a symbol of our pact with the first magician ... but the young princess has the dark as night ...

The queen, upon hearing the words of the magician, squeezed her hands annoyed while she took her little girl in her arms, those present began to agree with the magician, because both kings had amber hair, then because the princess had different hair , the atmosphere had changed from one moment to another due to a few simple words from that magician, between murmurs it was heard how some people assured that it was a bad omen, the queen looked at the king with concern, the cry of the newborn caught the attention of everyone present, calming the atmosphere of that room

- Her majesty of her ...

Her voice was trembling towards who was her husband, clearly the queen was afraid that the words of the magician would cast doubt on her fidelity to her life partner, her majesty approached her queen and gave her a warm smile while placing her hand on her shoulder, that fear that invaded for a few moments the kingdom disappeared, just as the little girl had stopped crying while looking at both parents, those small eyes both stared at their parents who gave her a small smile, and then turned their gaze to those present

- Sir Lion, is he implying that the queen committed adultery? If so, I hope that she can take responsibility for her words, because if the opposite is proven, she will face the consequences ...

Hearing those cold words from his majesty, the wizards felt fear but the eldest of them slightly snapped his teeth, his words had not made his majesty doubt, he had to be careful, the words said by his majesty were a warning not only towards them, rather for the entire court of magicians, a little annoyed he approached the kings and bowed his head

- I ask your majesty to forgive my lack of courtesy towards the queen and princess, but you must understand that as a magician, just like your majesty I see for the future of the kingdom, for decades there has never been an exception until now, so please your majesty let the princess undergo an evaluation ...

When the queen heard those words, she flatly refused while holding her firstborn in her arms, she knew that if the evaluation did not turn out well, the magicians would take the princess, in the kingdom of Nakahud the powers were hereditary, both the king and the queen They had them and used them to protect the kingdom, as Stella grew that would be her duty, but as a mother the queen felt a certain fear towards the magicians and their words

- Is she still a baby... can't you leave her alone ?! She just came into the world today!! What kind of mother would she be when marking her destiny now !!

His tone was serious towards those present, he stared at his majesty who shook his head slightly, the queen frowned when she saw that his majesty would not say anything, determinedly step aside from the magicians without letting them approach her. daughter, the silhouette of the queen was the last thing that was observed while the doors of the hall were closed, everyone was silent after seeing the action of the queen, while a sigh drew the attention of all present to her majesty who was stood up

- Apparently ... they annoyed the queen ... I hope the magicians take responsibility ... for it ... guards !! The doors of the castle are closed !!! The celebration is over ...

The palace guards upon hearing the words of his majesty, began to remove all the guests, while the king looked with annoyance at the magicians who had remained in the hall, the guards tried to remove the magicians but they refused

- Her majesty of her ... you know that my words ... are true ... not to take action ...

The king's gaze turned annoyed towards the magician who did not lower their gaze

- Since when the magicians can deny orders to royalty, I have to see when the evaluation will be carried out on my daughter, until then the magicians must wait for my call

Without more to say he left the room annoyed, while the magicians stayed in the room holding the words of the king, his majesty after leaving the banquet hall went to the room of his wife who was rocking the crib of his little daughter while he watched her sleep , the queen was a bit surprised to feel the warm embrace of his majesty towards her

- Her majesty of her ...

The named nodded as he looked at little Stella who was sleeping peacefully, he observed how the queen's gaze was filled with sadness as she saw her daughter, The king understood the fear of his beloved towards what would happen in the future, Stella had just been born and the wizards had sneakily attacked his heir,

- My dear daughter ... I am sorry to give you such a cruel fate, but I must tell you that I will protect you ...

Her majesty caressed the little girl's cheek while she said those words determined, the Queen only smiled after hearing her husband's words

- I will close ... the castle ... that way Stella will grow up without worries ... I will not let the magicians approach her until she reaches the age of majority

The queen took her majesty's hand and lightly squeezed

- The magicians will not remain calm ... during all that time his majesty ... I'm sure they will insist on an answer ...

Both kings were worried about knowing what time they had left to spend with their daughter, they both looked at each other for a few moments and frowned slightly when they knew what would be the minimum time they would have with their daughter, both in unison said

- Five years…

With sadness they looked at their little girl, who innocently smiled without knowing what her parents were saying, both parents took her in their arms while hugging her carefully as their greatest treasure, after this the doors of the castle were closed, the king and queen limited the accesses to the servitude of the castles to certain places, cared for like a relic that is how Princess Stella grew up, her destiny, her future would be decided in five years, living peacefully that would be her parents' gift to her first-born
