Ok this is my own story set in the Suikoden World. I know there is not much suikoden in the first chapter but there will be more later on.
P.S
This is my first fanfic
***
The halls of the Imperial Palace were bathed in natural light through the brass framed windows of the Great Corridor. Each side was decorated with renaissance paintings, statues and the Royal Guards standing in their clean white suits decorated with flamboyant ranks and sashes. However, even when the world is this still, a storm still rages in my mind as the memories from the north seem to be unforgettable. Each victory seemed to be a loss, not because of death but because of the lack of results. Regardless of our numerous victories and their loss of numbers those barbarians continue to charge with all their might.
The storm was brought to a halt with the opening of the two-story doors that concealed the King and his council. As I approached the man sitting with a look of either benevolence or boredom at the throne, the crowd stopped, the chatter came to a halt, the laughter ended.
"Colonel Raphael of the Imperial Dragoons, the King celebrates your victorious return from the Northern Expedition against the barbarians, for your glorious efforts you are awarded the Royal Cross."
After that I bowed and showed my gratitude and then the long walk back resumed.

"My friend you seemed troubled", the young sovereign said with a grin. In his hand he spun a glass of red Kanakan wine that is radiated by the blue moon.
"My liege what point is there to attack lands that are of no interest" said the troubled colonel.
"Raphael, there is no need for such formalities when it is just between us after all we grew up together did we not?"
True, we did spent time together as we trained fencing, riding and rifling under the same master. Our empire located in the middle of the Western Continent had always been a militaristic nation. After all after centuries of barbarian raids and invasions, who would not keep a strong army with a strong sovereign?
"Yes Adar, there is no need; however I am uncomfortable with drinking wine with the same men who ordered me to march my men into the lands of demons on horseback".
For a second I swore he seemed to be offended but all that came out was laughter and a reminder of the importance of maintaining domestic security and imperial authority over the different duchies and dukedoms that formed our empire.
"Anyway how is Anna, last I saw her she seems to be irritated with you Adar".
"She is fine; she's just a bit frustrated over the arranged marriage"
"So who is the lucky prince this time, or rather quite unlucky in this case".
We talked until the hour stroke midnight. It was indeed good to catch up with old friends after being away for so long. After that we retired to our own places and as I leave the palace I feel that my troubles are coming to an end and that I am finally home.
