Prologue
It's been ten years now that the war began. It was a ferocious war between Zaphias Empire and Danghrest Kingdom: many casualties, more and more damages, and in each country, people were starving.
The king of Danghrest tried his best by helping his people and by trying to stop this war, but the emperor seemed to not want it. It was like the man wanted the full destruction of the kingdom, and it was probably the case. It was a pity, the king thought and, looking at his children and his wife, he couldn't help but feel sad.
His eleven years old son, the elder, was playing with his sister's hair, while the younger was holding his mother's hand. The king would have smiled by seeing this picture if the war wasn't in his mind. But it was and he wondered if, one day, it would stop.
And then, his prayers were heard. One day, after twenty years of war, the Empire soldiers left the battlefield without saying of word, as it was totally normal. Some days later, the king received a letter from the Empire, announcing the Emperor's death.
Since this day, the Empire and the Kingdom tried to repair all the damages caused by the war, and made treaties. But the Council of the Empire suddenly decided that treaties weren't enough and asked for the two countries to be tied by blood. Thus, they wished to arrange a wedding between the former emperor's niece and the king's elder son.
And it was the beginning of a new peace in the world.
