"I never thought that if the person I thought of as my father stabbed me in the back, this country would never forget the most humiliating incident in history!" —The great king, Bilhelm.
"Huh! even the mightiest bee will always be loyal to its queen! what you did has destroyed everything that the predecessors had built!" – Queen, Erciliana.
"What did you two say? I don't understand at all. This kingdom is only for the strong, so my path is right!" – Edard, Uncle King.

Introductory Chapter.
Betrayal!
A country in all its beauty is experiencing a great shock today. The great king Bilhelm was betrayed by his uncle. Edard who wants to overthrow him from the royal throne
Battles broke out everywhere causing such great chaos to occur throughout the battle.
"So over the years you've been gathering troops to overthrow me?" said King Bilhelm who was already starting to get cornered.
"I admit that I have to thank you, nephew! thanks to the royal heirloom potion, I was able to create 3 commanders who could match the 3 rulers of Sequa!" replied Edard, the uncle who betrayed the great King Sequa.
.
Sequa is a wonderland of diversity and beauty. ruled by the great King of the human family, this country has continued to grow in peace and harmony for centuries.
There are 3 great rulers who are directly under the great king. They were king Faruz, king Haamos, and king Shaka.
King Faruq is a mighty lion who rules over the entire land of Sequa! Its existence will make predatory animals think a thousand times if they want to prey on other animals.
King Haamos is the wise Eagle who rules the entire firmament! with his wisdom, the animals that live on the islands of the sky can live more peacefully and peacefully. These sky islands can only be inhabited by animals that can fly because the island is not integrated with the mainland. They float!
And last but not least is the intelligent dragon, King Shaka! the entire waters were his territory, so anyone who broke the rules there would face him head-on!
These three are the strongest beings in Sequa who have pledged obedience and loyalty to the great king. They are the 3 great pillars that solidify the government in Sequa.
Since these three were the strongest beings in Sequa, no one could defeat them except the great king with the sword of Sequa's power and the one who drank the royal heirloom potion.
However, the last method was never known by the entire population of Sequa except for the royal family, and the 3 ruling kings. This potion is strictly confidential and is kept in the most secret place in the palace under strict security!
Whoever drank the royal heirloom potions would gain strength comparable to that of a ruling king or even stronger. And it just so happened that there were only 3 bottles left of the potion.
It was the potion that Edard stole to give to his 3 trusted confidants so that they could overcome the three ruling kings when they started a rebellion in the kingdom.
"Greed has eaten away your conscience as a human, Edard! You asked them to drink the heirloom potion, but did you also tell them the side effects?" with his lips already dripping with dry blood, king Bilhelm was still trying to stay upright.
"For the sake of a revolution, there must be sacrifices!" Edard arrogantly replied, who cares about conscience?
It was true that there would be side effects for anyone who drank the heirloom potion. They will turn into animals and will not be able to return to being human.
Of course, that was a very high price for such great power!
"You even sacrificed those who were loyal to you? Then what do you expect if you ascend the throne?" asked king Bilhelm.
A king must have a chivalrous spirit and be firm but behind it all there is still a big heart that controls that chivalrous spirit and assertiveness, and now Edard no longer has it all even just a little.
Then what is he looking for on the royal throne?
"I've been waiting for years to be able to ascend the throne after seeing my brother sitting on the throne but because of your birth all my dreams failed!" Edard snorted roughly.
The Queen watched the conversation from afar, a conversation that had started with a fierce battle.
The queen was in a weak condition now that her pregnancy was almost ripe, it would be very dangerous if she approached her husband who was fighting with Edard.
Boom!
An explosion suddenly sounded in the direction of the sea!
"Shh! Looks like the battle has started in the sea of Shaka!" Edard narrowed his eyes while looking at the source of the explosion, he was sure that it u comes from his commander-in-chief's battle with king Shaka at sea.
"You!" king Bilhelm groaned in annoyance, then he raised his sword once more. He must fight until the last drop of blood or the magical land in Sequa will be destroyed along with his civilization.
"You haven't given up yet?" Edard pulled the corners of his lips before swinging the sword forward to serve king Bilhelm in battle.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The queen witnessed the fierce battle between the two men who had very great swordsmanship. Under normal circumstances, her husband should be able to win in a few moves.
But unfortunately, the king was unwell! therefore, even if he fought with Sequa's powerful sword, it was still difficult for him to surpass Edard.
Along with the battle between the king with his uncle, some explosions answered each other in three different places and it made the atmosphere even tenser.
The sky began to darken indicating something bad was about to happen.
Therefore the queen decided to approach the king to help him. If they could defeat Edard now, all this mess could easily be taken care of.
With limping legs and difficulty walking because of her pregnancy, she kept trying to stay strong. His stomach throbbed and sweat was non-stop trickling down his temples but that didn't stop his determination to thwart Edard's ill will either.
The position is quite far from the fight so it will take some time to get there. But just as she had walked a few steps, something so fast suddenly hit her husband that he bounced and landed on the rock wall with cracks behind him.
The queen's body stiffened seeing it made her tears immediately drip and mix with sweat.
But the king showed no pain at all even though his temples, nose, and mouth were covered in fresh blood.
He gave a small glance at his wife who was far away and gave him a signal to leave this place.
