Fear and Strength

Eva opened her eyes when the sun rose and put her hand on her chest

. She felt upset, fear, anxiety, all the negative feelings formed inside her at that moment

- What's going on with me, this is a bad omen.

Eva got out of bed and walked towards the door of her room and hurried out of the room, asking everyone who was in the palace.

-It's dawn, where is Max, he told me he would come today at this hour.

Everyone in the palace was working hard at that hour,

even the guards , and the

soldiers were preparing for war.

Eva went out into the palace garden to find the soldiers standing around the palace

. She lifted her dress and walked down the steps quietly

. Those tense atmosphere, anxious faces, sweat dripping from their foreheads, trembling hands, this was the first time Eva had seen her soldiers like this.

This gave her anxiety and fear of losing the war

, and in the meantime, she screamed in a voice to tell them, "Listen." I just made it sound throughout the palace.

Everyone in the palace was looking on from everywhere.

Eva stood in the middle of the garden where the soldiers, guards, servants, and all the workers had begun to gather around her.

- I see that you are all afraid

- you trained and prepared, and you are still afraid.

- This kingdom... who will protect it? I'm alone?

All the parties, smiles, faces, big and small, weddings, and even funerals we attended together.

Everything would disappear if we were to be possessed by fear.

She stepped forward and turned and then said in a loud voice

- Emperor Julian Reese Julis, that demon, he's only human, we can make him bow before our kingdom.

- He's flesh and blood, like you, like me, like anyone standing here

- What's scaring you with? What did the rumors circulate about him?

Is he a puck with long nails?

One of the soldiers came forward anxiously and spoke hesitantly

- Your Highness, it is said that he is more than two meters in height in addition to the hugeness of his body, and his eyes...

- It is said that his eyes are red and even the whites of his eyes are black.

- He's not human...

- He once faced fifty soldiers alone and he didn't even get a single scratch.

- His body is as solid as that of a Deinosuchus..

- He keeps crocodiles and leopards of all kinds in addition to that!!

How can a man like this be of the human race?

That soldier, who separated the ranks of the soldiers and struck terror in their hearts, retreated.

Eva stopped talking and felt her feet start to tremble, but she couldn't show that fear in her heart

- I'm the one who's going to kill him!

And then I'm the one who will let you know that he's human like us.

I'm sick of this ridiculous story.

Julian threw the book he was holding in one hand on the floor and

leaned his head back while resting his back on the sofa in his office.

His black hair was turned back and his red eyes were stagnant and cold

- I want to go, I can't wait.

- Can Miroslav really do it?

No, no, I'm just thinking a lot.

He got up from the sofa and came out of his office barefoot as he used to, and put on his shoulders that cloak that showed his high chest full of old scars that broke through the muscles of his stomach.

- I want to do something nice today while I wait for the news to arrive.

Julian was smiling at everyone who passed them in the palace so much that he pulled one of the maids and danced with her in a hallway for a few seconds

and let her fall to the floor with a red face and teary eyes

.

- Your Majesty...

- You're so lucky.

- Cheh, what a beautiful coincidence, for the first time I saw the emperor so pleased.

Another maid came out from behind them, her eyes shining with hearts, and her eyes did not leave the Emperor's back

- I wish I was in his harem~

Emperor Julian ~ Everything about him is great!!

Princess Eva returned to her room, walking in the hallway, and those delicate features were sullen

.

Eva fell to the ground with shocked eyes, placing both hands on her understanding

"How can this be true, it cannot… No, it is not true, these are just rumors spread by the Empire to strike fear into everyone's hearts!"

"Yeah, yes, these are just rumors, otherwise it would be impossible for it to be true."

Her eyes shed tears due to the intensity of the horror that flowed into her body

. She got up from the floor and headed towards the water cup that her maid had placed on the table in her room

. She tried to calm herself, but she dropped the cup when she wanted to drink the water.

She leaned back and sat on the edge of the bed and pushed herself back, looking up and closing her eyes, feeling a sword pierce her heart and red eyes emerging from the darkness.

I got up quickly and screamed loudly, only to find out later that it wasn't real.

The guard tried to open the door after they knocked on it, but she refused to open it for anyone

- it's okay, I'm fine, nothing happened.

Until ten in the morning Eva refused to eat anything, her stomach was not accepting the food, and when she forced herself to eat it she threw all the food in the bathroom out of everyone's view

I looked before her into the void and blinked slowly

- today my head will be taken...

Meanwhile, she heard voices from outside her room, so she ran to the door and opened it, and one of the guards nearly bumped into her.

I apologize, Your Highness, but we have an emergency situation. We have detected an army movement on the southern side, where the guards are usually less.

- We are waiting for your orders.

Call me the army chief, quickly!

Eva remained in her room waiting for the arrival of the army commander, but when she opened the door after he knocked on her, she was shocked by the news of the escape of the army commander himself,

but who blocked this time is a man who has always admired her, with red hair and calm features.

- Angulies?!

- Madam, I will lead the army and counter the attack, but you can follow us later with another army.

I think I can count on you, thank you very much, Angelis.

She put her hand on his shoulder but he felt great as if she was hugging him. With this, he restrained himself and did what he told her

while Eva was getting ready to put on her own clothes and her princess armor,

her usual dress open at the thighs and the armor represented by a corset around her waist and chest , and

iron shoes that covered half her leg until her knees.

As for her hair, she lifted it completely and let it fall into a ponytail.

While Angelis was fighting in the battlefield that intensified between him and Miroslav's army, which grabbed the spotlight and sent fear and terror among the ranks of the Eva army.

Miroslav, with her long ax slashing all who crossed her horse

, got off the horse already and dyed her clothes red with the blood of Mirjana's soldiers.

During her fight with the soldiers, she came from behind to kill Angulies, who was involved in one of the people who hindered his movement

, but in the meantime she saw a long spear confront her strike that the men could not resist.

I was pushed back, shocked for a moment, then smiled -I ca

n't believe it, you're the princess then, no one told me you know how to play with dangerous weapons.

Eva quietly placed the blade winding spear behind her back

- she expected the emperor to come himself, but he didn't seem to want to die at my hands.

Who dies at your hand? His Majesty Emperor Julian, is he dying at the hands of a woman like you?

- Oh shit.

If I were you, I wouldn't even utter these words.

- But let's see what you have after I get rid of that man

. Eva came forward and stood before Angulies

- Fight those of your level.

Woman to woman, and let's see if I can kill the emperor.
