Evelyn start reading " The History Of Aristynne " Book again from the part she left of with very seriousness and kind of anticipation.
[ It is said that, in Aristynne there were no rules or law, murder and theft in broad daylight was a daily occurrence. Even illegal activities were done there. There was no peace. its ruler would make his children fight among themselves, the one who survived in the end would become the next ruler.
it is also said that the 12th ruler of Aristynne became its ruler after killing his 21 siblings, he killed them all very brutality and hung their heads at the entrance of Aristynne just to show off his power and strength. He was said to be the cruellest in history.
later, the law and rules were created and Aristynne became a place where only ability speaks no matter who you are. The knights were so cruel that they would kill people without batting an eye. They were even called " Monsters Of Aristynne ".
So, no one ever dared to think of invading it. It was very large and even was considered a magical kingdom because it had all kinds of people, species and even magical weapons.
It became even more well known for its academy, the "Aristynne Academy". It was famous for its high level of education. Anyone with talent was able to learn there regardless of their identity or status.
Therefore, many empires and kingdoms sent their people, princes, princesses to study (and another reason was to keep peace with Aristynne). It produces rare talents every year. Everyone graduates from there after 4 years of study.
Aristynne Academy's admission test is not too difficult but they conducts competitions every 6 months after admission. Some people are asked to drop out or kicked out if they cannot prove their talents or ability in those competition.
Aristynne's most famous place is The Alba Forest which was full of dangerous beasts. Many people enter it and find a beast for themselves, tame it and make it their familial which further increases their power. No one could go to its center because it was full of ferocious beasts.
The Aristynne Academy was also located there but where exactly it was, no one knew its exact location. Only those with permission could enter it.
But there was a time when Aristynne was not so powerful and dangerous. Alba Forest was so dangerous that it was forbidden to enter it. The Aristynne Academy was also not established then.
It was a small kingdom where killing was a small matter. The royal family followed a tradition that the last survivor of all heirs would become the new king, which was followed from generation to generation without any exceptions.
Although it was a small kingdom no one thought of attacking it without proper preparations because criminals were rampant everywhere and they did not fear death so they ignored it as an unimportant kingdom to prevent any kind of unnecessary damage to them for such a small kingdom.
The changing of Aristynne begins 200 years ago, When The 17th princess of Aristynne, Reinelle de Aristynne took over the throne after a bloody war with her 26 siblings at the mere age of 15.
It was said that the emperor had many concubines and they gave birth to 23 children for him. ( There was no limit to marriage in Aristynne, the king or queen could marry as many times as they wished and could have many wives or husbands.)
The queen gave birth to 4 children but the first child died at birth and Reinelle de Aristynne was the queen's second child. When she was 4, the queen died while giving birth to twins.
The king had a total of 27 children but in the end, only one survived and became the sole heir to the throne of Aristynne.
Reinelle de Aristynne, she mercilessly killed many of her siblings and many of them disappeared. Even her biological twin sibling completely disappeared. It is said that she also killed them to win the power struggle for the throne.
She changed the history of Aristynne by being the most cruel and heartless of all, she became the youngest ruler of Aristynne whose cruelty was known to all. She was even named, The Demon Ruler.
She was also called "The Devil", "The Cruel Slaughterer". But she was also the reason behind Aristynne's prosperity, the one who made Aristynne the way it is now, powerful and fear of all other kingdoms and empires.
She established The Aristynne Academy, allowed access to Alba Forest for training, built trade roads, built their own mage tower, built teleportation gates in many places for convenience, treated every citizens equally. The citizens gradually started respecting her instead of fear and obeying her orders, Laws and Regulations.
At first Aristynne's knights were brave but not very strong. She gives strict and cruel trainings to all knights. She sent them to guard the outskirts of the Alba Forest and immediately kill any beasts that came out of the Alba Forest to strengthen them.
She then tells the knights to form an attack and defense team and sends them further into the forest to kill any beasts nearby. She sent them every day to kill the beasts inside the forest.
The knights kept coming back gravely wounded yet she did not stop sending them to kill the beasts in the forest. Gradually, the number of beast that regularly come out of the forest decreases, and the surrounding village, towns and its people no longer had to live in fear of sudden beast attacks. The knights gradually grew stronger and stronger as they battled the beasts.
After some time, they became a formidable military force that could not be shaken by any means. She then placed a strong restriction barrier on the Alba forest that prevented beasts from getting out of the forest.
The knights realize that she purposely didn't set this up earlier so they could train themselves by killing beasts. Then they formed groups and started training in the forest on their own. Thus she created "The Monsters of Aristynne".
She allowed all people to enter the Alba forest for training. Which later gave rise to powerful wizards, summoners, spiritualists, swordmasters.
She made many strict laws which resulted in reduction of crime, murders and immoral activities.
She published notices everywhere about the laws and rules she had made and said a few words below it -
[[[ These are the laws and rules that every Aristynnes must know and abide by.
If you ask who are Aristynnes then know,
From the moment you step inside Aristynne's territory, you become a Aristynnes and must follow it's Law and Rules.
Every person in the Territory of Aristynne is an Aristynnes who cannot break its laws or rule.
This is for everyone, even if an emperor from another empire enters Aristynne's territory, he must also abide by its laws and rules.
This is itself a rule of Aristynne. So, don't try or even think of breaking it.
Written by The Queen of Aristynne,
Reinelle De Aristynne. ]]]
She also wrote some admonition about life at the request of the subjects which after her death, everyone made it into rules and followed---
[[ [ 1 - Don't judge anyone by Their appearance, Identity, Species, Origin or Age. judge them only by their Ability, Skills, Creativity, Talents and Knowledge. ]
[ 2 - No one shall bow to Appearance, Identity, Species, Origin or Age. If you need to bow then bow before Ability, Skills, Creativity, Talents and Knowledge.]
[ 3 - Always have your feet firmly planted on the ground and stay humble. Don't look down on others, no matter how less well- off they appear. Remember, the one you look down on today might be the person you have to look up to tomorrow. Such is life! ]
[ 4 - If you're born in a wealthy family, Then don't look down or disrespect the poor. Remember, The difference between rich and poor is that the poor do everything with their own hands and the rich hire hands to do things. ]
[ 5 - There is no noble or commoners, if there is anything that is - Life, Blood and Hearts. They also have the same Blood, Hearts and they also live like us. ]
[ 6 - You should not call anyone filthy, inferior or lowly, remember, even an emperor, who has an entire empire, has to beg a lowly physician for treatment.
Even an empress has to go to an inferior designer, just so that she can stand high in the social circle. Even a princess must come to a lowly teacher to learn further and greater knowledge.
So, before you call someone inferior or lowly and looks down on them think about the possibility of the day when you need to go to this person for help.
Remember, today's filth and low life can also become tomorrow's greatest savior. ]
[ 7 - Even if you are disgusted or irritated still hide that and only give a smile while helping some beggars or commoners when doing charity, out of pity or even for gaining reputation. Then see they'll even give their life for you when needed because for you it's only charity or even a easy path to rise your fame but for them it's something they think worthy of sacrificing their lives. ]
[ 8 - You should never learned to look down on the poor, the disabled, the disadvantaged and the elderly. You shouldn't judge people you don't know because you don't know their story, you don't know their sacrifices, you don't know their struggles, you know nothing. so, don't judge what you don't know. ]
[ P.S.– It's just some admonition i created at my free time. They're not like Laws that you absolutely need to follow. They are just some advice from me.] ]]
___________________
She was the cruellest and also the greatest queen of Aristynne. Her name is still known even after 200 years. Aristynne's people all respect her.
She strengthened Aristynne not only militarily, politically, but also economically.
Although other kingdoms feared Aristynne's rise but did not dare to attack it for two reasons - firstly, Aristynne's fearsome Monster knights and...
The second reason was The Queen, Reinelle de Aristynne, she was a Grandmage who ranked second in the Mage Tower, her magic power was so terrifyingly strong that it was comparable to The Mage Tower Master. Aristynne was flourishing in wealth and power under her rules.
But everything changed in Aristynne 185 years ago, when Aristynne's queen fell ill with an unknown disease. Some greedy people, kingdoms, empires started eyeing her death. It was known that she never married in her life, so there was no heir to the throne after her. Which makes others even more greedy.
After 1 month, Reinelle de Aristynne died. But strangely enough after her death, The key to sit on the throne The Ruler Seal ( which is necessary for sitting in the Throne Of Aristynne.) also disappeared.
Due to the disappearance of the ruler seal, no one could ascend the throne and Aristynne was left without a ruler. Other greedy empires began to prepare to attack Aristynne. Everyone in Aristynne became very worried.
They then found two ancient scrolls in the queen's room. Maybe, the queen already knew that something like this would happen after her death, so she left behind an ancient illusion and protective barrier scroll.
The professors and teachers of Aristynne Academy then sealed Aristynne with the help of the mages of the Mage Tower, causing Aristynne to disappear from sight. It was a very powerful ancient seal so, it could only be broken from its core but unfortunately no one knew where the core was.
Aristynne Academy was still open but not many could enter, only those who received an invitation from Aristynne Academy could enter and study there.
Aristynne is still sealed even a whole 184 years. It is said that only the owner of the Ruler Seal can break the seal placed on Aristynne.]
Evelyn closed the book and lets out a deep sigh. She stared intently at the book for some moment, an inexplicable feeling was working on her. She pulls herself together and gaves a wry smile,
Evelyn: Hah.. Just as I thought...
Evelyn put the book away and stretched out both her hands and massaged her neck. Her neck was kind of sore after reading a book for so long.
Evelyn: Ah.. I'm so tired of reading such a long book. I'm going to take a big nap.
Evelyn stand up from the couch, go towards the bed and jumped over in the bed. She closed her eyes and slowly fells into a deep sleep.
