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

After a few quiet minutes, Crown Prince Owine finished eating and rose to leave with his right-hand man who quietly sat beside him throughout the feast. "I enjoy the feast, Earl Asral," he said to the Earl who approached him. "I will see you around and... I will also send a gift for your daughter. I feel bad for coming empty-handed." His gaze was briefly on Lady Katrina as he talked but the latter was more than quick to look down so that she could avoid his gaze.

"Your presence is already the biggest gift, Your Highness. We won't ask for more," Earl Asral promptly responded as he respectfully bowed his head.

"Still... it would be thoughtless of me and it's not like I get to attend this kind of feast often," Owine simply argued before saying, "I will be leaving then. It's late and I bet your family would also need a good rest after such a grand feast." His lips curved into a smile that was hard to interpret as he added, "Especially your wife and your daughter."
