<<<<<<<< 3rd Person's POV>>>>>>>>
In the royal palace of the Alp khanate, people are scared and praying to God was their last hope. Monstrous sounds can be heard everywhere. From the window, King Tughril Khan is looking at the capital of the Alp Khanate, Nishapur. It was in a horrible state. As far as his eyes go, it's only fire and fire. It's like a sea of fire. People's screams can be heard from his palace. Seeing that stat, he can easily guess that his end is near.
"My lord, you should leave too. It's too dangerous to remain in this palace." A loyal servant advised him to leave the palace.
"What about Arslan, Nadha and the Queen?" the King asked the Servant about the Queen and their children.
"They are on their way to the Queen's homeland. Don't worry my lord, they will be able to get to their destination without any problems. " The servant reassured him.
"That's good. What about the crown prince and others?" the King asked about his other children.
"They have escaped already. That's why I am saying that you should escape too." The servant told him to escape.
"Nope. I am a Khan. A Khan will never flee from his battlefield. If a Khan does, he has to die bravely. Remember, a Khan is not allowed to get scared." Tughril said bravely.
"But my lord...." the servant was about to say something.
"Bring my sword to me. I will fight against my enemies till my last breath." Tughril ordered.
"Yes, my lord," saying that the servant left the room.
Tughril sighed and left the room. He started going toward the audience room. While walking, he met the prime minister.
"My lord, why are you still here? You should escape right now. The situation is not good." The Prime Minister told him to escape.
"I know that too. What's the situation?" Tughril ordered.
" The enemy has already broken though the front gate. Seems like they have already broken through the other gates too. I don't know we will be able to counter them any way now. Our loss is absolute," the Prime Minister replied sadly.
"What about our soldiers and nobles?" Tughril asked.
"Three commanders died. One fled from the battlefield and the last one betrayed us. The general is barely controlling the situation. Some nobles fled and others betrayed us. I think they have a big role in our loss today." Prime Minister reported.
"Those bastards. I knew they would do that. I didn't trust them from the beginning. I have to listen to their nonsense just because you requested," Tughril growled. He became red with anger.
"My lord, your sword." the servant returned with a sword.
It is a national treasure. It is a grade 8 sword. It is said that the founding Khan of the Alp Khanate used this sword.
Khan only used this sword in their Coronation ceremony. But this time Tughril had to use this sword. Their kingdom's very existence is in danger. Their loss is inevitable.
"My lord, now that you have a sword with you, just leave the palace. If you live, you will be able to revive our kingdom," the Prime Minister said.
"Haha, you think I will escape from my battlefield? This kingdom is my life. I am the Khan of this khanate. If this khanate fell into the hands of these evils, then there would be no reason for me to live. I have to protect this Khanate even if it takes my life. Besides, I am sure that even if I lose my life today, my children will definitely revive this kingdom." Tughril bravely said.
"Then I will fight together with you, my lord. If you die today, then I will be with you," saying that Prime Minister pulled out his sword.
"Haha, That's like my friend." Tughril laughed.
A soldier came towards them running.
"What happened?" Tughril asked the soldier.
"My lord, General died. The enemy entered the audience room. Please escape." the soldier timidly said.
"I see. He was really an honest person. It's really bad that a brave man like him died. But he died like a brave. I really admire his death. That's an honorable death." Tughril sighed.
"My lord, what should we do?" the prime minister timidly asked.
"We will go to the audience room. That will be the place of our last battle," Tughril bravely said.
He looked at the soldier and said,
"You should escape. This kingdom had already fallen into their hands. If you want to live, then just escape."
"Yes, my lord. I am a weak young soldier today. But one day, I will definitely liberate this kingdom from their hands." the young soldier saluted him and left the place.
Both of them went toward the audience hall. On the way, they met some enemy soldiers too. But they killed them. Tughril has awakened martial type attributes. So, he was very powerful from the beginning. Well, a Khan has to be an expert at fighting. So, there is no doubt that Toughril is one of the most powerful people in this kingdom.
They entered the audience hall. There were many enemy soldiers. A white-bearded old man was sitting on the throne. He is really white. He was wearing a beautiful white dress too.
"Welcome, my friend. I was waiting for you." The white-bearded man happily said.
"I was thinking why is a white pig sitting on my throne? But it was you, Emperor of Rovan," Tughril mocked.
"Haha, what is that dead person saying? I feel like something like meow meow," the Emperor of Rovan replied.
The Great Rovan Empire is one of the most power kingdom in this world. It is situated in the west while Moonland kingdom is situated in the east. The Great Rovan Empire used to be powerful from the beginning. But after the current emperor took the throne, it became far more powerful day by day. It's said that they rival the most powerful empire in human history, the Holy Amaterasu Empire, in terms of power.
"Tughril, I really admire you. I see you as a close friend. That's why I am giving you a last chance. Bow to me. I will definitely give you the place you deserve. You will definitely become my most trusted retainer. I am just telling you to accept me as your king. I will make sure that you will be a part of humanity's new most powerful kingdom," the Emperor of Rovan offered.
"Vincente, a Khan must never bow to others. A Khan will only bow to God. I am a Khan and I have a duty to fight till my last breath." Tughril rejected.
"I see. It's that pride again. Well, that's what makes you my worthy rival and the man I recognize. If there is a life after death, I would like to become your true friend in that life." Vincente, the emperor of rovan, said with a sad smile on his face.
"I would like to be your friend too. It's just fate makes us on the wrong side. Now let's finish this chit-cha... Gyaaa.... " Before he could finish, a sword pierced him from behind.
Blood was coming out of his body. He split some blood from his mouth too.
"I am sorry, my lord. I have to betray you. I know that you are ready to die. But I don't want to die here. I said I would be with you on your final time and I am with you in your final time. But it's not a place for me to die." the prime minister said with a devilish smile.
"I see. As expected, you were already a traitor. I thought you would change your decision at the final moment," saying that Tughril used his sword toward the prime minister. He(p) tried to judge but it cut his hand.
"Gyaaa... You monster. How dare you cut my hand. It hurt like hell. You monster." the prime minister angrily said while hiding behind a rovan soldier.
"Okay, try to kill me if you can. You guys are the most powerful soldiers of the Rovan empire, right? Then fight like a true soldier. Not a coward." Tughril mocked them.
"Let's kill him everyone. We will get rewarded. "( a Rovan soldier)
"Haaa." Every Rovan soldier growled.
After that, Tughril alone fought against the entire army. He killed many soldiers even though he was badly wounded. But the Rovan General cut his throat at the final moment. But before he was about to die, he threw his sword toward the Rovan Emperor. The emperor tried to judge it but it left a scratch on his shoulder.
"Save a bottle of beer for me in next life, my friend. I will definitely drink a cup of beer with you while talking about my life here in this world." Vincente muttered.
In the year of 2022, Alp Khanate lost its last king, Tughril Khan.

After Tughril died, The whole audience hall was silent for a moment. Emperor Vincente first broke the silence.
" We have successfully conquered the Alp Khanate. From today onward, this place belongs to us, The Great Rovan Empire."
"Wooooo, Long live Your majesty. Long live The Great Rovan Empire." Every soldier cheered.
Before leaving the room, Vincente look toward the general, pointed his finger toward the prime minister and ordered,
"General, take that traitor and execute him."
Everyone was surprised to hear the Emperor's order. The prime minister was most surprised.
"Wh-what are you talking about your Majesty?" the Prime Minister timidly asked.
"I don't have a place for traitors in my empire," Vincente said, and left the audience room.
"Please have mercy, your Majesty. Your Majesty." The prime minister's voice could be heard through the whole audience room.
After that, the prime minister was publically executed and with this event, Alp Khanate was officially annexed by The Great Rovan Empire.

AN: Ahem, this is the official end of the first volume. Thank you for reading up until now. I will start updating the second volume soon.
The first volume was focused on Seiren getting the system and knowing his true identity. The second volume will be more focused on the Academy. A lot of new characters will be introduced in the upcoming volume. It will contain some of the aftermath of the Alp Khanate. As you guys know, I am a lazy person. I am not trying to brag about it, but I truly am. So, I don't know if I will be able to finish it as I planned. I was thinking about finishing the volume a bit later. But I find it's the right time to finish this volume.
Well, lastly, thank you for your support. It really helps me a lot. I am not really good at writing but I was really able to do it because of you guys' support. I will try to start the new volume within 2-3 days(I am not sure yet).
Also, feel free to comment about something you like or don't like about this story. I really like to read others' reactions.
Thank you very much...
