Frosby

When the beautiful Queen of the Aritish Kingdom fell from grace, no one lend her a hand.

The whole Kingdom shunned her.
She was used and betrayed by her husband.
She was forced to watch the massacre of her whole family with her own eyes.
She was forced to commit suicide.

The moment she drank a cup of poisoned wine bestowed to her by the man she used to love with all her heart, she made a vow.

If she ever gets another chance, she will turn everything the other way round!

Maybe the heavens pitied her; she woke up to find out that she was given a second chance in life!

Now, she was determined to prevent the tragedy. Destroying all the people who wronged her in her past life became her only goal! To achieve that, she completely changed herself.

"You are just a withered flower now." These were the last words she heard from the man whom she devoted herself to, but...

She tried to make sure that she won't ever hear such a word again.

"I will never be a withered flower again. No... I won't even be called a 'flower' again. If people were to describe me, I will make sure that 'fire' is the word they choose. Like blazing fire, I will burn and cause harm to anyone who dared to come near."

She picked a sword instead of a mirror; an armor instead of beautiful clothes. In no time, she became the most famous and powerful General of the Aritish Kingdom!

She was known as a cruel and emotionless General until... a powerful yet mischievous Crown Prince entered her life.

He was never in her plan and it was why she called him the side-effect of her unexpected second chance!

Much to the frustration of she, who was coined as a bold and sharp-tongued General; she always found herself at her wits end whenever this 'sly' Crown Prince was concerned.....

Rise of The Withered Flower

For the next few minutes, all Crown Prince Owine did was watched as Lady Vanora prepared the medicine for him. He also listened to her talking.

"It had been years since my mother passed away and I wasn't sure of the procedure anymore. But I heard that there is a library here and I went there yesterday," Lady Vanora told him. "I rememorize everything; so, you don't have to be concerned, Your Highness. There will be no mistake."

Owine said nothing but the usually quiet Lady continued talking.

"Please tell me if the pain gets worse. I can also make a painkiller for you. We will have to be careful with the dosage but I think I will be able to manage that. I will also study more about that once I have time today."

Owine Varence quietly stood still but he never once turned away. Though his face was rather blank, he had many things crossing his mind.
