A new prince

After the m******e of elven civilians that occurred in the city of Trendafila, the central command gave the order that all the generals of the front armies had to wait after destroying the city walls.
This with the intention that in case the defenders were killed by the attack, the civilians could be saved.
Although it was a fairly simple measure and it should not affect the advance of the army at all, it caused some discomfort to the generals as this would delay their offensives for at least a few days because even if they had eliminated the defenders of the city.
Nothing guarantees that civilians will surrender without fighting because somehow they had a biased perception of human beings where they were the good guys and the human beings were the bad guys.
Unfortunately, it was an ancient ideology that was impossible to eliminate in each of the elves in just a few days.
However, despite that, the armies continued their advance on the front line, especially those located in the Black Forest Kingdom.
Because the city of Trendafila had been taken, the armies could reach more safely towards the central part of the kingdom where they could go anywhere they wanted to end the war there.
The only drawback was that, unlike the kingdom of the moon, they hadn’t a captured prince working to create an independent state with human rules.
Of the Black Forest Kingdom, they do not know had any member of the royal family, so there was no way to create a kingdom.
It’s for that the human beings asked their allies the half-elves, for help in order to find descendants of the royal family of the kingdom of the black forest among their citizens.
The search was carried out during a few days in which thousands of half-elves asked in entire towns about the genealogical tree that he had.
The task was quite complicated because half-elf had to be asked by half-elf until one found one who had a kinship line with the royal family of the Black Forest Kingdom.
Fortunately, after a few days, they still found the perfect prospect to be placed as the new king.
It was about a young half-elf who was the illegitimate son of the first prince of the Black Forest Kingdom. His mother had been a human woman who was repeatedly r***d by the first prince.
Eventually she became pregnant and was exiled from the Black Forest Kingdom due to it being a real problem for the succession of the kingdom.
This mainly because at that time the half-elves could still be considered as legitimate descendants to take the kingdom.
The young man was called Flamur. He was only 17 years old and although his mother had died; he had a birthmark on his left hand, which was a small mole in the shape of a tree.
That birthmark was a sign that he belonged to the royal family of the Black Forest, so he was quickly taken by the half-elves to the capital with the intention that he received education on how to rule a kingdom.
But not only did that happen but also the headquarters of the human liberation army brought hundreds of noble women from the human continent.
So that perhaps hopefully the half-elf prince could find his love among the human nobles.
This was a strategy with which it was intended to begin a gesture of goodwill that would show to the elves that humans could live together with them harmoniously.
When Flamur arrived in the capital, he was quite surprised at the change he had received, as it differed completely from how he had thought about it.
To begin with, there were huge lamps that produced electric light. The most important streets had a kind of new vehicles which did not use horses to move.
Not only that, but he could also see a metal machine moving through what appeared to be a path made of two pieces of metal.
Although perhaps what surprised me the most was seeing many people with clothes completely different from what he could remember because they all wore strange brown-black suits.
While the women used long dresses while carrying with them small umbrellas which protected them from the sunlight.
“You like what you’re seeing boy, I have to say that in these months the capital has changed a lot because since the human beings arrived, things have improved a lot.
I wish you could see the construction of the train that is being done because it will unify the entire empire with railways.
But for the moment you will have to accompany me because I am going to take you to your new place of study, a recently created institute where you can spend time with other nobles.
It is a place where you will learn everything you need to know about human culture and elven culture, but not only that, but you will also understand how you should govern your people because it is quite a complicated job.
Although you will not be a king with absolute power, you will continue to have power and will be a fundamental piece in the development and recovery of the kingdom of the Black Forest.
I am sure that you will achieve to be a great king and you should not feel less because you have lived a life as a farmer just for some human princes or Kings to know.
They lived a very sad life before becoming the heirs of their country. Perhaps they, unlike you, did not receive the necessary education, however they learned through trial and error.
But you should not worry about that because they are things that little by little you will be able to understand once you manage to study everything about how to govern. “
Flamur looked at the human soldier who was speaking to him. “I think you have experience in ruling.”
The soldier laughed. “My father was an earl from one of the many territories of the colonies, so I could see how he ruled his lands.
Unfortunately, because of the goddess, our fiefdom was lost, but the empire of Diustic gave us a fiefdom for us in compensation.
It may be smaller and not as powerful but at least things are quieter.
But where are my princely manners? I am Karl Von Banfield. I will be your guard during your stay at the school and if you will allow me perhaps of you how majesty. “
