Chapter 3 - CHAPTER 2: THE WARS

Really Grandpa he is my an..anc..ancestor? Reyna asked

Yes, he is the beginning of our family tree. He was a great warrior. He fought in many wars claiming a lot of the southern territories as he fought in the front lines and that was just at the beginning. Those lands provided us the necessary space to help us expand our crops which helped with the food shortage that was happening during that time. But with all the good that he did he also did a lot of bad stuff to people. He was known as the cruel knight in the battlefields for a long time. Since he had joined the army at an early age he didn't know anything other how to wield a sword.

WARS

A couple of months after he toke over the throne he organized an ambush mainly directed towards the southern kingdom. It was known as the Kratis Empire known for the richest of lands as anything flourished there. He first scheduled an army of 300 with 50 healers to march down the valleys to the border to infiltrate it. Once he had heard word that they had succeed he personally made his way down to the border with his 5 loyal men and they lead the rest of the battle. When they reached the castle only the king with his 5 men entered the palace bringing everyone in it to their death. Leaving no child, woman, nor man alive. King Nolan soon ordered many of the Knights to cleanse the castle of the bodies by burning them to leave no trace of their existence. Once word spread to the people of the Kratis Kingdom they soon try to revolt against King Nolan and his men. They killed anyone who went against the Aleinva Kingdom and their leadership as they had not taken claim to the Kratis land and their people.

He soon did the same to the Arakar Empire and the Iphodian Dynasty. Eliminating all of his surrounding enemies. Making the Aleinva Kingdom 10 times bigger than how he received it. He also fought in many small battles to show dominance amongst the people. Leaving a long trail of blood amongst the land. Everyone knew who King Nolan was by that time which lead everyone to fear him as a new name was made for him and that was the devil in the battle field. He always won no matter what which made people think he truly was the devil almost immortal.

After four years of constant fighting he decided to return home to finally settle down since he would need a heir to the throne as well. He loyal men who he took advice from had convinced him into choosing princess Hera daughter of the pervious King, King Henry. She was a royal blood descendant which in a way made her a great candidate for the king.

Wait grandpa I thought Nolan had killed King Henry? asked Fort

Well yes in fact he did, but he kept the princess alive in a remote castle away from others since they were also victims to the cruel King Henry. As princess Hera was the youngest amongst the sister and the most beautiful out of her sisters he choose to make her his future wife. She had the most luscious brown hair with the most dazzling of blue eyes known in the kingdom they would almost trap you in a trance.

Wasn't she to little for King Nolan as she was the youngest sister asked Reyna.

Actually she was 18 years old during this time and King Nolan was 22 years old. They soon began on the plans for the upcoming wedding that would occur during the winter in celebration of the victories out in the battlefield, but mainly to bring a future heir to the kingdom.
