Lance is preparing the things needed for the grand ceremony for his wedding. Suddenly, a knock was heard, reluctantly, Lance opened the door.
"Father, what?" King Conrad barged in. He sat down feeling all the butterflies in his stomach. Lance studied his father's face.
"Father?" King Conrad met his son's gaze as he swallow a big lump in his throat.
"Something is going on with the Alzian's Kingdom. They are under attack! Right now!" King Conrad said in gritted teeth. Lance took a while to digest everything his father said before running outside his room and went to the discussion hall.
"Call the Generals! This is a state of emergency!" He yelled. After a while, all of the Generals have gathered the discussion hall.
"We should set up a plan. Alzian's under attack. We need to back them up!" King Conrad said.
"Your Grace, do we have a clue who is behind this sudden attack?" Asked Leon, Alzian's strongest General. Their Frontline.
"No, not a chance, but we will eventually know. We will use this opportunity to investigate about them." Lance took a deep sigh. He look down at the map set on the wooden table. He marked 'x' all the places where they should set their troupes. The formations have been set and everything is ready for war.

Ariya launched herself towards the swordsman of Alzian--General Dracul, one of the 7 great generals. Her hair in high braid, her sword on her hands ready to receive Dracul's forcible attacks. She swung her sword towards the general's chest but was countered by it. Dracul rolled back and flew towards Ariya. However, the Queen is capable of blocking all the attacks and was able to slashed the general's chest. She was very graceful in handling her sword and quick attacks.
"You..." Before the General could finish, Ariya summoned a beast. Bigger the the actual wolf, it is four times the size of a normal person and could actually grow more by drinking human blood. As she summoned the beast, the hungry eyes of the wolf fell upon the blood pouring out the general. And so, his vision went blank.
"Clementus! Gather them to me. I will end them all!" Her icy glare and murderous aura is no joke.
"Right away Your Highness!" Clementus knelt down then proceeded with the order right away. The Laylan Army gathered all the enemy's troops as ordered. Right then the summoned beast stomped all of them. The blood filled the air, it was nauseating but to Ariya, it is the smell of victory of her revenge she longed for.
"Your Highness! What about the royal family?" Raymond inquired.
"Just let them be for now." Ariya calmly said as she struck her sword to one of the Alzian Generals as if it's nothing.
"Let them muddle to the mud. Let them taste the bitterness of falling to the depths of hell." Ariya icily smiled. Her smile is alluring, yet dangerous as well. Ariya's right index finger raised and blood started to ooze out the body of the Alzian Army. The people who witnessed this scene was stunned. The army of the royal family broke out cold sweat. They offended the devil herself! What she let them witness is carnage!
Ariya laughed lightly and a cold glimmer was seen in her eyes. It was never doubt, beauty. But a beauty to be wary of!
The next thing they knew, there are piles of corpses and the blood smeared through the land.
"Whoever tramples the name of me, my Kingdom and my people will receive death, as punishment!" She planted a flag with a symbol of raven and fled.
Meanwhile, Conrad's frantic face sent worry to Lance. He tried to appease his father and told him everything will be fine, however it didn't convince his father.
"Who would dare! If not for that witch...she should be dead." His father shivered in anger and in fear.
Their enemy is truly despicable! It did not only hide her identity but were able to trample not only the Alzian Generals but also their army!
"Leave it to me father. I will fix this one. We will..." before they could continue, a palace guard barged in and knelt down before them.
"Your Highnesses! The whole Kingdom of Alzian has been wiped out!" The room's atmosphere became heavy. Conrad's knees almost buckle but rearranged himself. Lance on the other hand, looked murderous for a moment and calmed himself. But his calmness has a glint of coldness.
"Gather all the troops, we will let them pay for what they did!" Lance ordered.
