[3RD PERSON POV]
In a majestic, western style castle, was a man walking around. He wore a blue long coat with gray bounds, that reached his feet, and a jetblack leather armour that covered his hands, arms, chest, and his waist. He carried a katana in a azure blue sheath. His black, long hair fluttured with the wind and his eyes were Azure.
As he reached the balcony, servents saw him and welcomed him with sweet talks but he could also hear them calling him a monster when he was walking to balcony.
"Welcome, 'AZURE BLADE GUARDIAN' , I am 'THORN ROSE' from the subsidiary kingdom 'RONATIN' " Heard Yami as a girl in black dress welcomed him.
Yami was here as diplomat from his kingdom to negotiate trading terms with the kingdom of Ronatin. He came bearing goal that to convince them for joing their faction in the future war.
"Princess, I am surprised to see you here. Didnt think we would meet so soon." said Yami with a smile.
The girl opposite to him was the princess Safina Ronatin, 7th in line of succession of the royal throne of Ronatin. She was wearing black dress that reached the floor but 2 maid were carrying it. She had black hair with purple shade, and her eyes were dark purple. She was definately cute instead of beautiful as her hight was short, she didnt even reach Yami's shoulder.
"Leave us" said the princess to the servents.
Just as they left Safina jumped at Yami and started asking questions upon questions.
"How come you are here?? Why is HEATHLAND so desprately gathering trade agreements?? What the heck is going on with the unrest in the empire??."
Yami took a minute to think after he told Safina to calm down as they sat on the table.
After a minute Yami spoke "I am officially here for trade agreement but actually what i want to ask the kingdom of Ronatin is to support our faction in the upcoming war."
"My kingdom is not gathering trade agreements but allies for the war and the unrest is due to, empire of WILLSKOG attacking our parental empire of NEFARIS".
"But the problem is not that simple, our empire is going to sell all eastern sub kingdoms to BABYLONIA for protection".
"So who will we be fighting against, BABYLONIA, WILLSKOG, or NEFARIS." asked the princess in worry.
"Well will be up against Nefaris while Willskog will help our independance faction."
"But arent they the original enemy?!" curious Safina asked.
"No, according to our intel they are actually doing this to get their artifact back which was stolen by Nefaris during expedition of frost valley, three years ago" told Yami.
"Yami, if this unrest does not stop we wont be able to marry each other!"
"Safina, be patient we can just win the war because the odds are in our favour. I will even get this chance to prove my worth to your father and we can marry after the battle as heroes." Replied Yami with a sweet voice.

At this moment on the other side of the empire was a castle being burned as arrows pierced the flesh of people inside. Soldiers were dying by every minute as some people were rushing out from different passages.

[SUB KINGDOM HEATHLAND]
A man rushed in a great hall which was supported by large piller on both side, red carpet in the middle which laid from the throne till the huge doors. The artistic design covered the whole hall. Chairs were sat up on both sides of the carpet with a distance of metre between.
Scout: "My lord, the armies of Babylonia have already passed through seven kingdoms, they are only two months away from our location. According to reports their attack was sudden and from seven of them five had promised us support. They have sent all that was left of their kindoms to our side."
Minister: "My king we should start the coup before its too late and Babylonia will not attack us as they wouldnt have interest in destroyed lands."
Noble 1: "My lord, I believe we can still talk with the empires, war wouldnt help either of parties".
Noble 2: " Are you scared of war lord Raiser?. Did this scoundrels scare you?." " My Lord, war is the only choice, King Gilgamesh is known to be a collector we can destroy the empire so they wouldnt be interested in waste land. Willskog can be satisfied by returning their artifact after we capture the Capitol."
Lord Raiser: " Lord Magille, dont forget my family has supported our country in wars when yours was hiding!!!. I do not have any issue with war itself but the enemy. We cannot win this, we do not have advantage in anything!!. We are not even sure if Babylonia will retract its forces or not!".
After a small debate between nobles and ministers, the king spoke.
Heathland the 7th: "We will go to war, we will take our chances, the book cannot be abandoned in the hands of Nefaris."
The king then combed his beared as he thought "Great grand elder Yami, it all relies on you".

"So its starting... then let the game/betrayel/show/war/slaughter begin" said several people in different places, miles far away from each other but they had the same glint of viciousness in their eyes.
