ENG 1

"Long live a nation will prosperity. Abundant wealth in it, they will never feel inadequate. Except for one thing, lack of satisfaction."

AD 651

Already famous for hundreds of years, the Leonword Country is so beautiful with a stretch of meadow overgrown with flowers that bloom in the prosperous village there. Nothing, it is also not seen that people complain about their work even though it is only being a laborer or taking care of the house. It was as if he had understood the course of destiny and the high morale of work.

The inhabitants of Leonword---or all of its bloodlines, have one unique trait; blue eyes mixed with ash that melted into one eye. Beauty is created, as God blesses the land for upholding virtue and also hard work in expanding its territory.

Almost the entire mainland of Asia and Europe was conquered since the country and kingdom was held by King Sweeriet to King Guanvario who was famous for his success in increasing royal income through suppliers of rice, tea, and also the best silk that could only be obtained by his territory.

"In order to increase income again, the tax levied on the people is increased by three percent, King."

Guan nodded happily. He was sure that he would be able to bring the whole world to its knees under his great power. As a gift to Prime Minister Ji, he gave two dairy cows that produced the highest quality milk in the kingdom.

"I am happy if my kingdom is getting bigger, bigger than the others," said King Guan with a distinctive laugh filling the royal hall in front of the palace officials.

"Maharaja Guan, our territory already controls eighty percent of Europe and Asia. There are some areas that are still under American control and are in the danger zone," another adviser joined in giving information from each after the power struggle war. "There are still small territories that haven't joined our great empire yet."

"Which area?" King Guan asked.

Lio's advisor opened the book list and read it, "Frackna Kingdom, Shiewook Kingdom, Bomanoi Kingdom, and Symkyze Kingdom and some of their surrounding areas. Three of the four kingdoms accepted the offer of merger with conditions, but only the Shiewook Kingdom refused to merge because they felt they could become a kingdom. independent."

King Guan's hand hit the rim of his throne quite hard. He seemed angry to hear that any Kingdom other than the American-controlled territory refused to join his kingdom. Are they looking for trouble or are they feeling great that they don't want to join the great and prosperous empire in mainland Europe and Asia like this Leonword Kingdom?

Palace officials were horrified to see the look on their king's face was so creepy. Anger that is difficult to suppress and appease for a long time.

In the midst of the silence of the hall, the door of the hall was opened and a young prince walked closer to the king who was also his father. He bowed respectfully and greeted the respected figure with great respect.

"Greetings, Your Majesty King Guan, I am Prince Axeryeo, your son asked for a small wish which only you can grant," said Prince Axeryeo.

"Request? Say, I will grant the wish of the son and heir of this kingdom," replied King Guan allowed.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a country that produces rare medicinal herbs where there is also the Night Crystal Lotus Flower which is very rare in the world. Shiewook Kingdom, I heard that is the place. Your Majesty, if you please I ask to buy or ask for it. to the Shiewook Kingdom all the rare plants there and plant them in the palace gardens. I want to do maintenance and research with them. I also heard that some magic plants can heal severe wounds in a short time. "

Prince Axeryeo was so calm and ambitious in asking for his little request. Night Crystal Lotus Flower, people say that the flower is very beautiful and produces five crystals of different colors which can be very expensive.

Hearing his son's small request made King Guan appear thoughtful. Shiewook country, for some reason listening to rare plants described by Prince Axeryeo made him even more ambitious to conquer the small kingdom so that he could enter his large territory.

"Lio, rephrase the merger offer letter to the Shiewook Kingdom immediately. I want all of mainland Asia and Europe to be under the control of the Leonword Kingdom," the great king's decree was calmer than before. "My son, I will grant your request soon. Wait a little while longer."

"Very well, Your Majesty."

The big meeting was over, King Guan stood up from his throne and left the royal hall still in a bad mood. Prince Axeryeo was a little confused by his father's attitude which is a little nasty.

For this reason, he approached Advisor Lio who knew everything during the meeting. "What happened?" he asked right in front of the man.

"The Prince's father is angry because there is a kingdom that refuses the offer of merging with our kingdom. That area is the Shiewook Kingdom, where the Prince asks for all the rare plants. It seems, if the kingdom still refuses, then war is inevitable," said Advisor Lio, ducking and still trembling with the aura of King Guan.

Prince Axeryeo nodded in understanding, he also explained something. "Even though there is a war, the small kingdom is not easy to defeat. They have magicians stored in the palace tower. Only the four main wizards can be seen," said the young prince making Counselor Lio frown, confused.

"Is the Prince sure?" A gaze wanting to confirm, Advisor Lio noted down the basic point earlier. "Then, how to defeat them in battle? It is impossible for an enemy to have no weaknesses. They are neither Great Gods nor angels."

"True, but I don't know what their weakness is yet. It's been said that their strength is one of the prime crystals, which are always carried during battles."

"The main crystal?" Advisor Li was confused.

"I'll let you know again. I have to finish my task and practice swordsmanship," said Prince Axeryeo then left the hall and left some confusion to Counselor Lio.

After the death of the prince, one by one the people went and returned to where they worked. Remaining Advisor Lio in the hall with several other books and notes that he always carried around, whether in the kingdom or in his house. Working as an advisor has become an important responsibility for him.

Lio Amorz, he was just a poet who always conveyed the message of goodness and truth in each of his verses. Fascinated by it, King Guan appointed him a counselor after the old adviser died of illness.

Even 10 years he has been an advisor, only in the last three years since conquering a large kingdom from the next continent has made Lio understand that King Guan has turned into a greedy and arrogant human. Likewise with the people of Leonword, the rich nobles would sell quality goods at exorbitant prices and brag about them to the nobles on American soil.

Admired as the perfect country to live in and find identity, no doubt if the seeds of arrogance in this country also come with time. Including their king. Since becoming a large empire and seems to be respected by almost the whole world, ambition after ambition has continued to grow and become the seed of pride that will one day destroy the nation.

"I will prepare a letter for the royal incorporation offer once again, make sure the letter is read by His Majesty Sian of the Shiewook Kingdom," Counselor Lio ordered their royal mail delivery courier.

"Very well, Counselor Lio. Immediately, I will inform King Sian regarding this," bowing, the royal courier nodded in understanding and waited for Counselor Lio to write the offer letter once again.

It didn't take long for Counselor Lio to write it down neatly, plus his royal lion stamp which was stamped right on the paper. The paper is neatly folded, put in an envelope with a formal decoration. After that, the unlucky royal courier delivered the letter.

Advisor Lio's hopes were not that great, but he could only ask Dewa so that King Guan's anger would not get bigger.

Bad hunch.

⚔⚔⚔

Axeryeo is in his private room --- it's behind the bookshelf in the room. No one was allowed in there not even the Father. Because he knew, at this time King Guan could still contain his anger when he knew that the crown prince was more fond of researching rare plants than fighting on the battlefield or just fighting swords.

Since childhood, Axeryeo's body was indeed weak. His hands were not even able to lift a small sword, then how could he practice fighting then?

Indeed he became the only heir to this kingdom after the Empress---his biological mother---had passed away since Axeryeo was 5 years old. The king's concubines didn't have any children, so Axer was considered special to the king.

Unfortunately, there was only one small issue that was being hotly discussed before his appointment as crown prince at that time. According to the news, Axeryeo was cursed because of his mother's carelessness. The curse reads, 'If the child in the womb is male, then he will not even be 17 years old', and Axeryeo is already 16 years and 7 months old.

It is said that the late queen had killed a child from among the temple, where the child would become a high official in the temple there. Because at first he didn't know if the child was allergic to peach, the queen actually asked the child to drink it until it was finished and eventually died and was cursed by the priest.

The curse was not believed by King Guan because according to him it was just a rumor, not from what he had heard directly.

Axeryeo's ledger opened, reading the first sentence that served as a warning to him. "Etz Kosh Vandre," means when translated into the native language of the Leonword, it means death like licked saliva.

"Huh, five more months..." Axeryeo mumbled closing the ledger and placing it where he originally took it. "I don't know if the curse the priest gave me will come true. So, before that happens, maybe I can do what you've always wanted to see as my role as the crown prince and prince of this kingdom."

Near the crimson curtain, Axeryeo stood and looked down when there was a small mirror lying on the floor. Previously, he was sure that if the mirror was on his desk, then why was it there now?

"Mirror with blurred vision."

He checked the reflected object again carefully, making sure that it might have accidentally fallen there and he forgot. However, he still felt strange because the distance from the table to where the mirror had fallen was quite far.

"Oh, damn it! I should practice swordsmanship first instead of checking my work here. My body is getting stronger, and I'm sure that by the time I die no one will hurt me while I'm learning the sword." Axeryeo walked towards his room, leaving the hidden room to prepare to practice swordsmanship with a skilled royal trainer.

⚔⚔⚔

"I refuse to merge my empire with the Leonword Kingdom. Please tell your king, even though my territory is narrow it doesn't mean that everything looks weak."

King Sian's statement as well as his answer turned out to be an absolute, making the letter deliverer have to swallow his saliva which was so hard it got into his throat. What if King Guan finds out? Not only his anger could kill him, but destroy the kingdom. With this one thing is certain; there will be a big war between Leonword and Shiewook.

The royal mage came with his golden flying broomstick, then bowed his head to the king as his broomstick stopped halfway through the king and smiled faintly. Not a grandfather or an old grandmother who became a magician, but a beautiful woman with the grace and charm of a royal princess.

"You called me, Your Majesty?"

The mage named Mellwies, was known as one of the strongest mages in the Shiewook Kingdom, the guardian of the royal heart. Five crystals as well as earth energy elements, that is the power of his kingdom.

"Mies, escort our guest to the royal gate," King Sian ordered. "I want him to be able to return to his home kingdom immediately and deliver my answer. Also tell him that I am not afraid if he threatens to attack the kingdom," he added before the Leonword courier was brought out by Mellwies.

After Mellwies escorted the royal guest to the gate, Princess Ryusin appeared in the hall. Like every other resident of the palace, if the person in front of him was acting as a king, he would bow down respectfully. "Greetings, my majesty. I have come to make a request to you."

"Please, tell me."

"I want to visit the grave of Her Majesty the Queen, where only me and a few guards go there. Soon Wednez Day, the day when anyone can give gifts to their loved ones."

Princess Ryusin paused, from behind her dress, she took out the thing that was prepared last night. A blue sky crystal fragment from the core and heart of the kingdom was turned into a necklace.

"It's very beautiful," said King Sian.

Princess Ryusin blushed at the necklace she made so pretty. "Thank you. Is it permissible for me to bring a small crystal fragment to be embedded in the tomb of the late queen?" asked Princess Ryusin again, he did not want to be wrong in asking or saying even once.

"Put it in a place where no one else can steal it. It is the powerhouse of our kingdom and our magicians. So, make sure there is no one else around you besides my trusted royal guard," King Sian replied, firmly but not so tightly.

After getting permission, Princess Ryusin left and prepared to head to the royal cemetery which was far from the kingdom. Travel by horse carriage to get there faster.

Apparently, there was someone who had followed Princess Ryusin to the funeral. The Leonword royal spy who had left with the courier earlier was still staying and hiding among the guards. Because in fact he was assigned to find out the weakness of the enemy.

"Glory belongs only to the Leonword Kingdom."
