The Princess And Her Warmonger

"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones. If you want to read the newer version, then go to the second volume] [This was originally made on scribblehub and, as such, will be updated there first] (The cover art is not mine) [Awkward moment when you went to update the cover and Webnovel can't support the file]

Legend: Kulin Tearacloth Army

Kulin Tearacloth Army/Black Army

When the Kingdom was involved in the Great Wars, there was one popular saying that many knew. "If your hear the chanting of monks on a battlefield, run. Those aren't your peaceful monks. Not anymore." This isn't just a warning about those monks, but of the army they are in as well.

The Kulin Tearacloth Army, or just the Tearacloth Army, is the Kingdom's most elite army. Lead by the Black Reaper, or Sharia The Warmonger, they aren't a small army of elites but a massive one. Trained by Sharia, this army can all be called warmongers, though only Sharia has the title. The army has a wide variety of soldiers from all over Nostalisk. When in battle, the monks of the army chants about their coming, and gives a warning to the enemy. The Tearacloth Army has only been beaten once, and that is when their leader, Sharia, was labeled as a traitor to the Kingdom. They weren't really beaten in a fight but more off surrendered and allowed themselves to be escorted to the back of the Kingdom, near the mountains that surround Nostalisk.

Unlike other armies, Officers and Captains have the same rank. What sets them apart is how they are used. Captains still lead the legion but the Officers give out the orders on the field, shifting soldiers over where they see fit and reporting back to the Captain or sometimes leading their own small force to take a certain point. The Captains still fight, they just focus more on the overall of their legion and, as such, have to stay back most of the time.

The Kulin Tearacloth Army actually has a General in their rank, that General being Cheng, a monk. Despite being an outsider, he is not only a great fighter but an outstanding strategist. The same rank as Cheng despite being a Commander is Typhlin. These two are considered the two in charge if Sharia isn't there and are one of the top candanits for a new Black Reaper.

The title, Black Reaper, is given to those who lead the Kulin Tearacloth Army. Despite only having one Black Reaper so far, which is Sharia, if Sharia were to ever fall, retire, lose a challenge, or give her position away, a new Black Reaper would replace her. Sharia herself was the one who invented this system.

The Kulin Tearacloth Army's second name, Black Army, is a title given to those who are feared by their own faction. While there have been other Black Armies in the past, the Tearacloth stands out because of how effective and feared they are.

The fall of the Kulin Tearacloth Army came after a devastating battle where they were almost wiped out. After they recovered, they slowly became more noticeably tired, less determined, and more cold. This was also the time when the monks changed their chanting. When the Kingdom won, the Tearacloth Army was rarely seen, even in the Alcomite War despite their leader fighting in it. Then, after Sharia's betrayal and the Tearacloth Army's defeat, they were never seen again. While they aren't disbanded or killed off and are just stationed in the back of the Kingdom, not many factions know that. So, to most factions, the Kulin Tearacloth Army disappeared with their leader, Sharia. Now, they are just a feared legend, which many hope will never return.
