"Life in magic realm is always based on risks and not all story begin from very beginning the story of Eldoria empire begin from here and falls here"

In the majestic palace of the Eldoria Empire.ministers and advisors gathered in the council chamber, their faces filled with worry. tension roses as they discussed the impending threat. Zarath, the emperor's cousin, who had raised an army and was marching toward the capital.

Kyrian, the emperor, stood at the head of the table, his mind racing with strategies and plans. The council members debated fiercely, their voices overlapping of concern and fear.

General Cassius suggested, "We should also consider deploying our elite units to key strategic points. A preemptive strike might disrupt Zarath's plans and let remember our enemies won't attack us on what we are good at, he'll attack us from where are aware."

Kyrian nodded thoughtfully. "Agreed, but we must also ensure the safety of our people. Evacuation plans for the nearby villages should be put in place."

Minister Elara, the head of intelligence, leaned forward. "Your Majesty, we have received reports that Zarath has been using dark magic to bolster his army... and this celestial realm not just ordinary empire...dark magic are forbidden"

the room is silent for a while then he continues "Our soldiers may face more than just steel and arrows."

Kyrian's eyes hardened. "We have faced dark magic before. We will counter it with our own strength and resolve. Our people have always been resilient."

"Indeed," Alaric added, "our cultivation techniques and magical defenses have been our strongest assets. We must focus our efforts on fortifying those."

Kyrian closed his eyes for a moment, gathering his Qi through a quick meditation. He felt the energy flow through his body, renewing his strength and focus.

Suddenly, the large doors to the chamber swung open, and Empress Talia entered, her face pale with worry. The room fell silent as she approached Kyrian.

"My love, is there no way to avoid this war? Zarath is relentless," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I know but you need to trust me, all this will be end soon, the realm will have it glory and zarath will fall his feet, our people will fear not to live, cultivates and do what they like most" kyrian says with assuring smile, she nods and smiles back.

Kyrian took her hand, his expression softening. "I promise you, Talia, I will protect our child, our nation, and you. Zarath will not prevail. Trust in me."

General Cassius cleared his throat. "Your Majesty, we should also prepare for the possibility of a siege. Stockpiling supplies and fortifying the inner walls is crucial."

Kyrian nodded. "Begin preparations immediately. Every moment counts."

As he spoke, a soldier burst into the room, panting and wide-eyed. "Your Majesty, Zarath's forces are on the move. They are close to the outer defenses."

Before Kyrian could respond, the soldier suddenly drew his sword with his whole Qi and lunged at Talia. The room erupted into chaos as Kyrian's guards moved to intercept, but it was too late. The blade struck Talia, and she fell to the ground, blood spreading across her dress.

Kyrian cried out in horror, rushing to her side. "Talia! No!"

"I am coming for you, after you and everything you have even cost me thousand of year" the solider said and the guards subdued the soldier, who seemed to come to his senses, looking around in confusion. "What have I done?" he whispered, tears streaming down his face. "Zarath's words... they controlled me..."

Kyrian held Talia in his arms, her breathing shallow. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with pain and love. "Kyrian... our child..."

"Stay with me, Talia. Please, stay with me...don't talk let that you can still heal you have the ability to...call all the celestial healers" Kyrian pleaded, his voice breaking.

Talia reached up, touching his face. "Promise me... you'll protect our child... and our people..."

"I promise," Kyrian choked out, tears streaming down his face. Talia's hand fell limp, and her eyes closed for the last time.
