In a realm fractured into sixteen kingdoms, Princess Rama finds herself thrust into a realm of dark enchantment and extraordinary abilities following the tragic demise of her parents. As she grapples with the weight of her impending throne, Rama embarks on an unexpected path of self discovery, seeking guidance from the bow and arrow. Intriguingly, Rama's uncle employs a mysterious and captivating instructor named Ivana, who harbors a secret lineage of ancient witches. Gifted with potent powers, Ivana becomes more than a mentor to Rama; their connection deepens into a profound and forbidden love that resonates with the intensity of a thousand stars. Yet, their enchanting union remains concealed, concealed from prying eyes and treacherous forces eager to exploit their vulnerability. Within the realm of the sixteen kingdoms, supernatural forces awaken, as whispers of witches' covens and extraordinary abilities echo throughout the land. Each kingdom possesses its own mystical prowess, be it controlling the elements, communing with nature, or delving into forbidden realms of sorcery. As Rama and Ivana navigate the labyrinthine politics of their world, their love becomes a beacon of light in the face of encroaching darkness. Their powers entwine, blending Rama's newfound archery skills with Ivana's spellbinding abilities, forming an alliance that challenges the very fabric of the kingdoms. Yet, danger lurks around every corner, for malevolent forces conspire to dismantle Rama's claim to the throne and crush their love beneath the weight of betrayal. With each passing day, their powers grow, as does the peril that surrounds them. They must learn to harness their abilities and trust in the strength of their bond, as they face off against witches with twisted ambitions, power hungry monarchs, and the looming threat of an ancient prophecy that threatens to unleash chaos upon their realm. In a mesmerizing tale that weaves love, loyalty, and sorcery into a tapestry of suspense and redemption, Rama and Ivana defy the odds. Together, they must unravel the secrets of their shared destiny, delving into forgotten realms and risking everything to protect their kingdom from descending into darkness. Prepare to be entranced by an epic saga of forbidden love, arcane powers, and insidious betrayals—a journey that will ignite your imagination and leave you breathless until the final incantation. For in the world of the sixteen kingdoms, where witches roam and supernatural powers awaken, Rama and Ivana's love will be tested, their abilities pushed to their limits, and the fate of their entire realm will hinge on their willingness to embrace the extraordinary.

Chapter 1Responsibility

The old people will say, being a child and growing up into adulthood is also part of the process.

Never will I thought that, becoming an adult after so many years of being a child and having so many freedoms will actually end after loosing both parents.

yes! l lost both parents at the age of fifteen when it was time for me to start having my classes of becoming the next ruler after my parents pass away.

Life became difficult though I had so many privilege of being a princess but that wasn't enough.

I felt my whole life has crashed ever since my parents passed away. My uncle who was around at the time my parents passed away took care of me and made sure I never lacked anything....

To be the next ruler of Zelad was not easy because I had so many obstacles and so many enemies who wanted me dead so that they could have their way to palace and capture everything in it.

"your highness" a voice suddenly woke me up from my thoughts. "your uncle wish to have a word with you" I didn't want to get up from my bed but hearing my uncle wished to see me got me standing on my feet.

I walk past the maid without raising an eyebrow to look at her and head towards the garden I mostly spend my time at.

"Rama" my uncle said as soon as he saw me approaching him... "uncle" I quickly hug him as soon as I got to him. it being days now I felt warm in his embrace but that days felt like ages.

"I'm sorry... I didn't keep to the promise" he said breaking the hug. "it okay uncle. I'm not bothered".

I realized my uncle was contemplating on something and that increased my curiousness. He haven't mention anything to me concerning the meeting he had with the other state and seeing him in that position is getting me worried...

"Rama.... I don't know how you will take this but you should know anyways. the meeting went well as we planned but" he stopped talking and took a careful look at me before finishing his statement.... "they don't wish to finalize on the deal"

"And what was the reason" I asked without waiting for him to explain everything to me because I was getting impatient. "All they said was, you can't rule over them your highness"

I don't know how and when I lost it. the word I can't rule over them hurt me to the core. Though I know the reason behind that statement is because I'm a girl and to be a ruler , I have to posses enough qualities including me being a boy.

"but..... that shouldn't be a problem your majesty. there are other states we can have the deal with and I promise to make things right this time" uncle zeke said when he realized I was lost it thoughts....

"I know you can handle things uncle.... but I don't have enough time on my side" I told him and he understood what I meant. without me not sitting on the throne, my people won't pay attention to every rule I make and talkless of it, they won't accept me as their next ruler.

I left uncle Zeke and went back to my chambers and asked to be left alone. I needed time for myself and I need to sort things out the earlier the better. I started spacing up in my room thinking of what to do.

I wished my parents were here with me to make things right. I thought uncle could handle things but I started loosing faith in him not because I didn't trust him but everything is not going according to planned.s

....

" princess Rama, your food have being served" my personal maid informed me after running into me on her way to my chambers. "okay" I said and followed her to the dinning table.

uncle Zeke soon joined me after having a stroll with his men. he didn't want to interrupt my quiet time so he just sat down and made himself comfortable and started eating.

I had no appetite to eat that evening so I excused myself and went out to the garden. while I was lost in thoughts, something got my attention and I quickly left the garden to check what it was.

"your majesty, it not safe to leave the palace as at this time" a guard block my way preventing me from going out of the palace. "this damn rules!" I gritted my teeth.

"stop this nonsense. are you preventing me from going whenever I want to go?" I asked getting angry.

"I'm not your majesty. I'm just doing my duty. please understand" he said bowing to me. I had no choice than to go back to the palace since I wasn't going to be allowed to leave the palace alone.

Rama walk back to the palace and stormed inside her uncle's chamber without knocking. she knows she can go anywhere she wants and nobody can stop her.

Her uncle saw the look on her face and wondered what got her in that mood. he just hope it nothing concerning the deal he couldn't work on.

"who got you in this mood your majesty" he asked removing his sword ready to feast on whoever it was.... "I was denied of leaving the palace" she said.

Her uncle blinked his eyes after hearing what Rama said. he calmed his nerves and place the sword back at it position before answering her. "ohh that..." he just whispered.

"yes that" she repeated putting her hands on her waist. "it because of your protection that why you are not allowed to leave the palace alone". Rama didn't want to curtailed in the palace forever. she wants to go out and have some quiet time with herself but looking at how everywhere is guarded, she doesn't stand a chance to leave.

"And why is such rules made?" she asked again knowing the answer already but she ask again.

Her uncle creased his brows not knowing what answer he should give to her "just because of everyone's safety especially you" he finally said.

"Is it because I'm a girl so you treating me like an egg?" Rama didn't know why she felt that way after asking that. she felt miserable because she couldn't do anything on her own ever since she was a child till now that she's turning into an adult.

"I'm sorry your majesty but that not it. if anything happens to you, the throne and kingdom will be in trouble and I can't let that happen so please understand" She hates it when they keep reminding her all of those stuffs.

"excuse me" Rama said turning. she didn't want to argue anymore with her uncle so it better she left his chambers and went back to hers. "Yha!" she called out to her personal maid who rush to her service. she didn't want to get into trouble because of the princess....

"At your service your majesty it" "Get me a glass of wine" She said and dismissed her out of her chamber. Yha came back after a short period with the glass of wine and left it on the table close to Rama's bed.

"Is there anything else you want me to do?" she asked with her head lowered on the ground. "leave... when I need you I will call you". she left quickly without raising her head.

No one dares to look at the princess at her face because you will find yourself facing her wrath. Rama dislike it when people look at her at the face apart from her uncle so she made a rule for it.

whoever refused to obey the rule finds herself or himself to be blame.

Rama took the glass of wine and stood beside her window and saw the birds playing in the trees. she felt a bit relieved the moment she saw the birds playing around. She ended up smiling for the first and that amazed her. "So birds could make me smile after a long period huh" she whispered to herself and kept watching the birds play.
