This is the story of Lara, a young woman from modern times, raised with one purpose: to exact revenge on the family of the general who destroyed her own.

But fate had other plans. On her way to carry out her mission of vengeance, a twist in the plan led to disaster. Lara was struck by a military truck escorting the very general she intended to assassinate.

When she awoke, she found herself in an entirely different world—one where her identity and purpose were starkly different from the life she had known and how she had been molded to be.

Abducted by human traffickers, she outsmarted them and escaped. Then, she encountered a mysterious martial arts master whose ancient skills far surpassed her own. For two years, she trained with him in the remote mountains. 

One fateful day, while staying deep in the jungle of Mount Ourea, Lara stumbled upon the Prince of Northem, disguised as an ordinary commander. He was gravely injured while pursuing a notorious group of bandits. Lara saved him and found herself entangled in the war that raged for two years.

Lara, disguised as a soldier, volunteered to deliver a very important message to the generals of the Northem army, embroiled in a fierce battle against the bandits, the rebels, and soldiers of Estalis in the Alta-Sierra mountain range.

Amid the chaos, Lara was swept onto the battlefield.

During the battle, fate played another cruel hand. Lara came face to face with General Odin and his sons—only to discover that General Odin was the spitting image of the general she had been trained to assassinate. Could the man from her world be a descendant of this brave general?

Torn between her mission and her newfound reality, Lara faced an impossible question: How could she kill her biological father?

Her internal conflict deepened when she uncovered an elaborate plot to frame General Odin and his sons as traitors. The true culprits? His subordinates and trusted allies.

In an ironic twist of fate, Lara found herself becoming the 'protector' of the family that, in modern times, she was supposed to ruin.

After the war, Lara returned as a hero, ready to reveal her identity to General Odin, but she learned of another betrayal. Her cousin, Mira—the orchestrator of her abduction—had taken over her identity. Mira lived in her home under the guise of comforting Lara's grief-stricken mother because of the death of her only daughter. Not only that, she also did a lot of scheming and eventually claimed Lara's betrothal to Prince Alaric.

With her identity stolen and her mission turned upside down, Lara faced a new challenge: reclaiming her life and honor and protecting her new family.

Return of the General's Daughter

The banquet soon ended beneath the flickering glow of chandeliers and the fading echoes of laughter. Goblets had long been emptied, the scent of roasted meats and spiced wine still lingering like a ghost in the air.

Prince Reuben, flushed and unsteady from countless toasts raised in his honor, was gently ushered away by attendants, his laughter slurring into incoherent murmurs as he vanished down the corridor toward his chambers.

In the grand hall, Queen Helga stood with practiced grace, bidding farewell to Freya and her kin. Her voice was warm, her gestures regal, until a palace maid approached, head bowed low, and whispered something urgently into her ear.

A shadow passed over Helga's face—a crack in the face of calmness. Her smile faltered for the briefest moment before she smoothed it back into place with the elegance of someone who had mastered the art of appearances. She waved gracefully at the departing guests, her demeanor as radiant as ever.
