Watching over You
Prologue
"Heika..."
A man stood on the seashore, gazing at the sparkling star in the sky above. His soul longed for the only woman he served in this world, his one and only Queen. The darkness surrounding him, coupled with the brisk wind intensified his loneliness even more. How long had it been since he travelled across the globe, just to reach out to the heart of his Queen?
His Queen had truly been a dedicated ruler of the nation. She had sacrificed much of her own freedom and desires. She loved the country just like how a mother would exchange everything for the safety and happiness of her child. It was so cruel when fate decided to play around with her life, as if ignoring whatever she had done to improve the country.
Few years after she ascended to the throne, the nation was endangered with numerous crises. The land had become infertile, clean water was no longer abundant, and the most important aspect of a country, the people, had started to lost their hope for survival. The moment the people gave in to despair, things would surely go downhill thereafter. However, the Queen was not of a weak spirit. She did not even think of giving up on reviving her nation.
The Queen along with a handful of brave soldiers began their search for what could grant life to their nation. They explored every single inch of land and sailed across the vast sea, just to find the one thing that would save the country. Even so, their courage did not stop fate from putting them through more and more ordeal.
At a point in time, they were attacked by merciless bandits. Another time, they were chased away by people who feared that they would wreak havoc. Soon their number was reduced into a group of less than ten soldiers as the rest of the people were killed while protecting the Queen. Those soldiers died in honour, but there was no one to weep for them or to pay respect for all their contributions.
Finally, during an attack where nobody was expected to survive, save for the Queen and her aide, the man was separated from the Queen. He had miraculously survived despite his grave injuries. Nevertheless, staying alive was no different from death for him because he could no longer see his Queen until this day. He continued his fruitless search, only to be consumed even more with grief. It was hard for him to appreciate his life when the meaning in it was lost.
Suddenly, there was a flicker of a brighter star in his view. Was it finally his opportunity to get a step closer to his wish?
"This is the chance. I swear I will definitely get back to your side, Milady."
