King Visek looked at the direction his new queen was pointing at and replied with a stern expression "That is princess Marwa, a traitor who tried to overthrow our kingdom and bring chaos to our nation". Queen Idar's expression changed to shock and disbelief. She couldn't imagine marrying a man who would allow such cruelty to happen to his own family member. King Visek noticed her change of expression and tried to calm her down "My dear, I assure you that justice has been served. She betrayed us and we cannot let her get away with it." But the queen was not easily convinced. She had heard stories of the Sibir nation's ruthless ways and she couldn't believe that she was now a part of it. Meanwhile, princess IRIS and princess IRIANA, who were the daughters of queen Manari, Marwa's sister, were growing up under the care of general Archifad. He had raised them like his own daughters and taught them how to be strong and independent. They were always curious about their mother, whom they had never met. But they were told that she was a brave queen who had stood up against the Zyon dogs, the enemies of the Sibir nation. One day, when the princesses were out exploring the palace, they stumbled upon a secret room. In it, they found a woman lying on a bed, her leg bandaged and her face full of sorrow. The princesses recognized her as their mother and ran towards her. Queen Manari was overjoyed to see her daughters and hugged them tightly. As the girls filled her in on everything that had happened, Queen Manari knew that she had to find a way to take back her kingdom from the hands of the Zyon dogs. She couldn't let her daughters grow up in a nation ruled by such cruelty. With the help of general Archifad, Queen Manari started to make plans to overthrow Minister Bogyan and his people, who brought her kingdom Sibir to an end. She knew that it would not be easy, but she was determined to do whatever it takes to bring justice to her people and avenge her husband's death. On the day of the wedding coronation, the palace was filled with guests from different nations, including the powerful Visborg. The next morning in Khotan kingdom, an envoy was received from a nation called Visborg(Visborg was a nation where the wife of king Visek , queen Idar hailed from, that help Khotan in supplies of gold, fur, skin, and iron. Visborg was a nation known for using Lions as part of their weapon to wars). When the people of Khotan gathered in the palace to receive their visitors, king Visek asked the visitors, "What brought you to Khotan?". They all replied, "King Islak of Visborg sent some gifts to his daughter Idar, congratulating her on her new home". The whole Khotan applauded the visitors on their good gestures. Then they presented the gifts to her majesty, queen Idar, and she received them. They gifted her gold, furs, skin, robes, silk and ewe skin. Then she said to her huaband, "My king, these great people of Visborg cannot go an emptyhanded, i need to deliver also a gift to my father for his good gestures over us". Then the king asked her, "What is it that you want my queen, ask of anything, and it shall be given to you". Then she pointed at princess Marwa, she said, "I only want her". The king was shock and angry, for he did not know what to say. King Visek said to her, " Princess Marwa is my prisoner and i will decided what to do with her, so tell what else do you want?". Queen Idar said to him, "I only want Marwa, and do you have some affections for her?". The whole palace was put into confusion King Visek became angry, he remained silenced for a moment. Then he said to her majesty Idar, "You can have her". King Visek was very angry, because he knew he will never gonna see princess Marwa again. He needed to play along, so as his feelings for princess Marwa. So he ordered his guards to released princess Marwa from gallow. They arranged for her trip to Visborg, changed her dress and gave her some royal robe, for she is a princess. Then the people set for trip back to Visborg with their gift to their king. When minister Bogyan of ANNAZYDS heard that princess Marwa had been taken away to Visborg, he became furious with king Visek. He then planned to attack the Visborg for taking the princess of ANNAZYDS. Although, Bogyan already planned to use princess Marwa as an exchange for more reinceforcements and arms from a nation called ASIKOD., in order to stop general Archifad. So he arrange the armies of ANNAZYDS to invade into the palace of Visborg to bring back the princess. He(Bogyan) gave the soldiers instruction on what to do, and they left. Visborg was one of the strongest nation after ANNAZYDS, as the former was known for Lion hunters, they use Lion to fight most of their wars. So this time, it might be difficult for ANNAZYDS to win this war. Because of the absence of king Karam intelligence, and his daughters tactical knowledge. The soldiers of ANNAZYDS passed through Sibir, mongolia, Khotan, Sigoks, and aome part of the old Mokites. When the men of general Archifad who went to spy on their enemies saw the armies passing, they said to themselves, "Is it not the army of ANNAZYDS?, Where are they heading to?". Then they ran to report to their general. When they got to their camp, they were panting.. he asked them, "Where are you coming from?". Then they replied him, saying "My lord we saw the army of ANNAZYDS heading to the south, for we do not know their destination". Archifad became more angry. When queen Manari heard it, she became afraid. She feared she might not see her sister again. Archifad summoned his guards in order to execute his plan to rescue princess Marwa. He asked one the spy, "How many are the armies of ANNAZYDS?". The guard answered, "My lord there are about 1500 men going to visborg". Another one said "According to my source, Visborg fight with the aid of Lions, so how will ANNAZYDS triumph over them?" General Archifad said to them, "We need to find move with the soldiers of ANNAZYDS, disguise as them, so we can get to Visborg to rescue princess Marwa. Then they came up with a plan on invading the camp of the soldiers of ANNAZYDS. General Archifad selected some guards to go with him, while leaving few to guard queen Manari with her children. They departed to rescue the princess. When they got to the camp of ANNAZYDS' soldiers at dark, they knocked down few soldiers quietly and took their armour dress in order to look like the soldiers of ANNAZYDS. The next morning, the camp commander of ANNAZYDS' soldiers awokr everyone from their sleep in order to continue their journey to Visborg. He saw few of his men knocked down unconciously. He told his other men to check if they are still breathing, and they did. "Master, they are still breathing, but they remained unconcious said one of the guard". The camp commanded became furious, he said to himself, "Who must have done this?". Then the camp commanded eveyone to gather for deployment, in order to search for the culprit. Archifad and his men was afraid, for they fear they may be expose by the camp commander. When they all gathered, the camp commander search everyone with respect to their badge to know their true identity. When he got to where Archifad was standing, he looked at Archifad and said to him, "Your face look familiar". Archifad remained silent. The camp commanded proceeded in removing his helmet, a noise from the other side of the camp was heard. He moved away to check what was the issue. "Lions! Lions!! Lions!!!, said one the watchmen of the camp. The Visborg army gave them a surprise attack. Immediately Archifad and his men took the horses and escape with few soldiers of ANNAZYDS.The Lions ate up few of the ANNAZYDS soldiers, while few fought and escape to Visborg. As general Archifad and his approaches the gate of Visborg, he stopped by in order to revealed his face to the soldiers who escaped from the Lions. When they saw his face, they payed their respect to him. One of them said, "General, we thought we will never going to see again". Another one said, "Master forgive us for not saving you all these while". Then Archifad responded to them, "You did nothing wrong, i cannot forgive myself for not guaranting your safety, i am so sorry i failed you". He added, "This time i want to make it up". They said to him, "How will you do that?", especially now that power are in the hand of minister Bogyan and his majesty in prison". He said to them, "It is time we come together as one body to fight off every enemies of king Karam and ANNAZYDS, we start by rescuing princess Marwa". Then they soldiers all chanted, "LONG LIVE KARAM, LONG LIVE KARAM, LONG LIVE ANNAZYDS, LONG LIVE ANNAZYDS. It became a war of general Archifad against Visborg in the rescue of princess Marwa. Getting to the gate wall of Visborg, they released their Lions from the northend and Lions from the southends to vade off the ANNAZYDS soldiers. A lion flee from its stance to where Archifad was standing to bite him, Archifad used his shield to break the head of the lion. Meanwhile princess Marwa was still in the cage they used in transporting her to Visborg. Beside her was a Lion preventing her escape. When she(Marwa) saw the general, she shouted, "General!". Then Archifad heard her voice and located her. The Visborgers was still sending in more Lions to vade off the soldiers of ANNZYDS. General Archifad asked one of the soldiers who had with him the smoke bomb used against the Mokites. He said to Archifad, "My lord i only have few of them left. Then Archifad took it from him and shot one of the eyes of the lion guarding the cage of princess Marwa. He took another one and shot the rope tied round the hands of princess . The rope got loose and princess Marwa broke the cage and escaped. She joined the other soldiers of ANNAZYDS, to fight off the Lions. They fought off and defeated the lions. When the Visborgers saw that their lion had been knocked down, they sent in their soldiers to go after the army of ANNAZYDS. Princess Marwa, general Archifad and the remaining surviving soldiers of ANNAZYDS, escaped from the hands of the enemies. When they saw that the enemies lost them, princess Marwa ran to meet general Archifad, thanking and praising him for coming to rescue her. "Thank you general, i owe you this one, said princess Marwa. "It is nothing, i have to do what was meant to be done my princess, said general Archifad. Princess Marwa then asked the general about her sister. He said, "Your sister the queen was shot on her left side leg, but she is fine now"."I can't forgive myself for allowing sister's husband to lose his life and his kingdom, it is very unacceptable" said princess Marwa. She asked further, "What about my mother?". General Archifad replied to her, "Your mother was placed under a house arrest by minister Bogyan and your nephew Chyzon". "Her majesty has not been feeling good, as the condition of her health is now unpredictable". Immediately, tears came down from Marwa's eyes. She said to Archifad, "I am so so weak, i cannot even save my family from the Zyon dogs". General Archifad said to her, "My princess, there was nothing you could have done"."That bastard minister Bogyan and his people had already conspired against his majesty, to cause his downfall". "But i promise you, i will do everything in my power to give you the head of Bogyan". "Thank you general, said princess Marwa. Princess Marwa said to Archifad, "Take me to my sister", and they left.
