Trappings Of The Warrior

Trapped by the Prince

Crown Prince Ian Stromridge has just returned from battle, hailed as a hero, greeted with people's adoration and blessings but he brings home a beautiful woman, though he's already married leaving everybody completed nonplussed. His wife, Princess Angelica Stromridge wed him for convenience before he left for war. Their marriage lacked affection and was rife with misunderstandings from the start. From name-calling to accidental letters leading to further misconception. During his absence, Angelica played the dutiful wife, sacrificing to maintain the household, being the lovely princess and wonderful daughter in law, only to face his return with another woman whom the entire kingdom agreed was more beautiful than she was! Will she divorce or fight for his love, a love that clearly never existed in the first place? Will she clear the misunderstandings and surmount the obstacles or will it be a post-marriage love story or an ex-wife tale full of regret? Excerpt |||| "My princess..." called a maid, knocking on the door her hand trembling. "Come in." replied Angelica as the door opened hearing footsteps approaching. "What are you doing here? I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

The Warrior's Odyssey

In 300 BCE, the serene village of Arcadia becomes a living nightmare when Persian invaders unleash their wrath, leaving nothing but ashes and heartbreak. Among the few survivors is Lisandra, a young girl with a fiery spirit, whose family is brutally torn from her. Hidden away by her mother in a desperate bid to save her, Lisandra is forced to witness unimaginable horrors that forever scar her soul. Alone and consumed by grief, she finds solace and love in her childhood friend, Athina, who also survives the massacre. Together, they struggle to heal while hiding in the wilderness. But Lyzendra's heart burns with an unquenchable thirst for revenge, even as Athina pleads with her to abandon the path of violence. Cutting her hair and binding her chest, Lyzendra assumes the guise of a man and journeys to Sparta to train as a warrior. There, she hones her skills, driven by a singular purpose: to destroy those who wronged her and to fight against tyranny. Her journey takes her beyond the boundaries of Greece as she learns the art of war from the fierce Scythians, the cunning Illyrians, and other legendary tribes. Yet, with each battle fought and each life taken, Lisandra finds herself slipping further from the person she once was. As she rises to prominence, Lisandra becomes both a beacon of hope and a shadow of terror. But at what cost does revenge come? Will her pursuit of justice bring closure, or will it consume her soul entirely? In a tale of resilience, love, and the destructive allure of vengeance, The Warrior's Odyssey explores the strength it takes to fight, the pain of loss, and the cost of hatred in a world torn apart by war.

KING OF THE WARRIORS

“Katakan padaku apa yang harus aku lakukan agar kau bersedia menjadi panglima perangku?” Raja Alventius memandang tajam pada sosok pria yang badannya tidak lebih tinggi darinya, namun lebih tegap dan berkharisma di antara jenderal-jenderal yang pernah ditemuinya. Pria itu, Rendevis Oldernys, hanya diam mematung. Ia tidak memberi jawaban apa pun. Ini adalah kesekian kalinya, dirinya kedatangan pembesar-pembesar kerajaan di wilayah utara. Kemampuannya yang tidak hanya dapat memahami bahasa manusia, tetapi juga hewan, tumbuhan dan alam ghaib, membuatnya menjadi rebutan kerajaan-kerajaan besar yang ingin menjadikan dirinya sebagai panglima perang mereka, untuk membantu mereka menjadi penguasa tunggal dunia. “Apa yang kau inginkan? Harta? Berapa banyak yang kau inginkan? Atau wanita? Aku akan memberikan gadis-gadis baru setiap harinya untuk memuaskan nafsumu. Atau kau ingin menjadi pemimpin para jenderal? Aku akan dengan mudah memberikannya padamu.” Bujuk rayu para pembesar itu terus saja dilontarkan agar pria gagah dan tampan itu bersedia bergabung bersama mereka. Lain hari, pemimpin dunia sihir datang bertamu dengan tujuan yang sama. Hingga mereka menawarkan ramuan keabadian kepada Rendevis. Namun, sikap pria itu tetap sama, tidak memberikan jawaban apa pun. Ia hanya diam mendengarkan layaknya seorang tabib yang mendengarkan keluh kesah pasiennya. “Apa yang harus kami lakukan agar kau bersedia bergabung dengan pasukan kami?” Raja Negeri Air tidak ketinggalan ikut membujuk Rendevis. “Tidak ada. Aku sama sekali tidak tertarik dengan semua tawaran kalian.” Jawaban singkat yang sama yang selalu diberikan setelah cukup lama dirinya menjadi pendengar setia pembesar-pembesar itu. “Silakan kalian pulang ke negeri kalian. Aku tidak akan ke luar dari tempat ini, kecuali keadaan yang sangat darurat terjadi di bumi ini.” Siapa sebenarnya Rendevis Oldernys? Keadaan darurat yang bagaimana yang dimaksud Rendevis? Siapa yang akan berhasil meminangnya menjadi panglima perang?
