Bitter Sweet Memories

Thirteen years back ...

It was Princess Amina's first time leaving her home and her Kingdom to go study abroad. She had just turned fifteen years of age and was eager to explore the world outside her heavily guarded empire.

Being King Hassan's first child, the heir to his throne and the apple of his eyes, she was well grounded in leadership skills, politics, fighting skills and general aptitude. She was a born leader and was as ruthless as her father.

Having gained all the knowledge within, her appetite for more, prompted her to seek knowledge outside her kingdom.

At first King Hassan bluntly refused to let her go. He had a lot of enemies and he feared for her safety. However, after several days of persuasion and hunger strikes, he was forced to grant her wish to study abroad, with strict conditions.
