THE_WORDSMITH

In this world, some say, the truth and the legends are the same. One such legend belonged to the protagonist, Valerian.

Valerian was an orphan, a boy blessed with a beautiful face, and everyone around him, could not help but want to play with him, till one day a prophet passing through their town pronounced him to be cursed. 

Since that day, the destiny of the boy seemed to have changed completely, he was shunned by everyone around him, and the gazes that were earlier filled with love and affection, now brimmed with disgust and hatred. 

The constant shunning and humiliation made the cheerful child grow up to be bitter and inexpectant. On his seventh birthday, things changed once again. 

This time, it was not the people around him who went through a change, but himself. As he grew up, Valerian became a legend in his own sense. 

The people sang of a boy, who could not speak, they shed tears for a boy, who could not grieve. He came from nowhere yet he was known everywhere. 

Would you like to know this legend? A story where a curse can become a blessing? A story of sacrifice, betrayal, determination, and secrets.

Valerian, The Legendary

It has been seven days since the whole debacle Ayat staged in the imperial court with her death. The people of the nation somehow found out about the news. The news was being discussed and the last words of the late princess were passed on to the masses in great detail. The people began to recall how ominous their emperor was.

However, another thing that the people found out was something even more shocking. The personage that looked like the only good soul in the royal family was treated so inferiorly. The people saw Morgana as an Angel, and the girl earned this image of hers, but when the people heard about this, they became even angrier.

Yet, Jamal had sent soldiers to suppress any spark that can set up his backyard to fire. The old man did not want this to happen. His ambition was too great and that made his heart wary of risks or variations in his plan. Even his own children were not allowed to present an opinion about his decisions. Let alone others.

Resolved.
