Imperial Calendar, Year 899 Third Moon
A Coalition of 9 Nations and 4 Tribes under the lead of the Duchy of Canin and its greedy and ambitious Duke Esebus the Third invaded the Kingdom of Anckesh, without a formal declaration of war or word it took for the Coalition 2 Weeks to completely subdue the large yet completely unprepared Kingdom, bringing death and hell to everywhere they went and leaving the once prosperous land of Anckesh as a barren wasteland, divided by those who destroyed it
-------------------------
A Few days after the war Began, as troops of the Coalition have reached the capital of Anckesh, Zlugas, at the Royal Palace, looking outside the window from a magnificent and extravagant looking Room is a dark haired with red eyes Noble Looking Woman, while before her there's two more Person's, far younger than the Woman, they still bear the same characteristics of Dark hair and Red Eyes as her, looking like Nobles and talking among theirselfs, one female and the other male....
Female 2: You Idiot, our Teacher had clearly said infront of both of us that we only have one week until our...twice given chance to end the project ends!
Female 2: And yet, even with the another week...you still failed to do that easy thing
The younger looking woman, is talking to her brother with an angry yet somewhat proud and sarcastic voice of hers
Female 2: Like, it only took me ONE DAY to do this!
Male: Sister....
Just as the male kid is about to say something, he suddenly stops and instead says something else
Male: No...Miss Charlotte the Great Genius Wizard of Anckesh, I...the pathetic younger brother of yours...I'm deeply sorry for failing to...upkeep my promises....and...even through I'm no genius...I would like to-
The younger female kid, previously reprimanding her brother and now introduced as Charlotte stops her brother from talking
Charlotte: Blah Blah Blah, useless excuses
Her voice becomes more serious
Charlotte: You should seriously rethink your life choices Felix, father will not like it if you keep avoiding your studies
Charlotte: Even our sister over there will probably say something about you
Charlotte said that with a really quiet voice, whispering to her Brothers, Felix's ear
However that isn't enough, with the woman previously looking outside from the rooms window overhearing the conservation and turning behind
Felix and Charlotte: Ummm....Hello Sister Emilia!
Emilia: [with a curious voice] Charlotte, what were you saying there?
Charlotte: I was saying that you should tell our brother to go focus on his- our studies
Emilia: Well...even If I do say it, I don't really think he'll listen
Emilia: Also, I think he should focus on chasing dream instead
Charlotte gets taken back by this response, clearly not expecting it
Charlotte: What?! You traitor! You had clearly said that you would take my side on this issue before
Emilia: Oh...I did?...Well uh, haha I must've forgot!
While all that is happening between the two, Felix, clearly in deep thought decides to speak up
Felix: Ummm.....Its okay Sister...Fath- The King has already decided I should start focusing on my studies again
Felix's eyes start tearing up
Felix: You don't have to take my side on this matter as it would...not look good on the eyes of other people
While the three are talking, screams and cries are heard from the outside, with them ignoring the ruckus as some executions of war prisoners or criminals
Emilia: !- You don't have to say that....I will...Well, I'll talk to father about this issue and try to change his opinion
Emilia: It's not like...Well...he's only trying to do what he thinks is best for you
Emilia: Even through you may disagree with it
Felix: I...understand
Charlotte: Oh so dramatic!, I'm going to cry
She said sarcastically
Emilia: Charlotte, Please be serious
Charlotte: N o p e!
Emilia: .....
an awkward silence files the room
Charlotte: Well...guess we'll take my leave now, come on felix
Felix: I'm not...obliged to follow you
Charlotte: You will come eitherway
Charlotte approaches the door, with Felix just sitting there, next to Emilia
Meanwhile footsteps can be heard faintly from the outside, gradually becoming louder
And As Charlotte is about to open the door, without really knocking or a warning about entering, a person, dressed in knightly cloth with a bloody sword in hand enters
Charlotte: Ewww! Blood!
Charlotte jumps back instinctively, hiding behind felix
Emilia: Hm? Knight Alexander, Why have you entered into my room without knocking?
The knight, after catching a breath while clearing some blood off from his face with his arm becomes confused
Alexander: Uh....Your Princess....didn't you notice the...bloodshed going on outside?
Emilia: What Bloodshed?
The knight takes a deep breath
Alexander:....
Alexander: His Majesty the King has ordered the knights of the Sword to evacuate the First Princess, the Second Prince and the Third Princess from the Royal Palace
Alexander: The Armies of the Coalition has taken the city, with the Crown Prince rallying his army and preparing to make a last stand around the Church and the Royal Palace
Although initially first doubting his words, Emilia decides to look outside, seeing several dead bodies just down, and smoke coming from several houses in the city, Felix Meanwhile immediately trust's what the Knight says, with tears...Well...starting to fall from his face, however....someone else has a different opinion
Charlotte: And what Is you....uh...whatever your name was, only a 3rd level ranking member of the Knights Order doing there
Following the question, the other three turn to Charlotte, with an expression mixed of disdain and surprise, although Charlotte doenst seem to understand the situation, even slightly looking proud
Charlotte: What? I'm simply upholding the law here
Emilia: Sigh....please ignore my sister, she's a bit wrong in the head
Alexander: Oh...ummm...Sure...
And So, following this conservation between us three and the knight, we quickly, taking some things along the way proceeded to evacuate the Palace noticing the apparent battle ahead of us we went towards the Royal stables trying to get horses so we could escape quicker
However, to [not all of us] our apparent surprise, there was no horse on the stables, forcing us to walk on foot, where we then, according to Knight Alexander's Plan to the southern County of Ederus, where we would meet with Knights from the Church, and so we did
8 days later
Emilia: ...
Alexander: I believe....we're too late
And As we approached Ederus, we noticed that the city had already....been destroyed....its inhabitants heads being shown as an exhibition, impaled on the roadsides, the cities walls reduced to dust and rubles and the Cities Church, once the largest in Anckesh, surpassing the Church at Zlugas, completely burnt down and destroyed...And well, I guess Anckesh has fallen by that time? Alexander said that we should retreat to the Eastern Empire and try to seek help from the Emperor, but if Ederus has fallen the border cities should've aswell blocking the roads....and Charlotte along with felix didn't really like the idea of walking 3 entire countries, then more hundreds of kilometers to a place where we will probably lose more than gain....so instead we opted to escape southwards to the small Margravate of Azilia.....
