A broken soul (2)

There are 4 continents in the whole world, Genomia, Kinayu, Andaren, and Potema, we are currently in the Genomia continent, and within it, we distinguish three kingdoms that we already know, Tirinia, Syronida, and Perenis, there are also kingdoms on the other continents that are recorded, but the exception to this is Ishstar, located on the continent of Kinayu.

Ishistar is a lost kingdom that gives the half-breeds a home and peace, it is on a completely different continent than the three kingdoms belong to, so it is very difficult to get to, there are a lot of requirements to pass to another continent, there are no such prerequisites for staying there, which the following must be met, you must be independent of the three kingdoms listed and you must be a Soul Holder, if none of these requirements are met, you will be among the fugitives who can be locked up or even killed in all kingdoms.

Lost kingdoms are those that are no longer recorded as major kingdoms today, so Ishistar is not the only such kingdom. There is a total of 4 continents, each of which has a lost kingdom, but Ishistar is a completely different one, peace has been here for more than 100 years, but for unknown reasons, all news about it has ceased to exist, only those who have lived long enough know about its existence...

This story takes place in the kingdom of Perenis, a long time ago there was a completely ordinary and ordinary king and wife, and everything went as usual, even the villagers did not complain about their economy, but this changed radically when the first child was born in the kingdom.

Maid: - You don't need much, just a little, I can already see her head.

After that, the queen exposed herself to an even greater strain, and then the newborn was born, who subsequently became known as Aika Lysander in the kingdom of Perenis...

She stares in wonder at the little life that the creature gave her, then her husband, the king of Perenis, Ameron Lysander, was called in.

Margaret: - She's still so fragile, looks.

The woman hands the baby to her husband.

The man just stares at his child, who starts to cry, but with a small gentle movement, he shakes the newborn.

Ameron: - You came into the world not long ago and you are already full of so much life.

With that, he hands the baby to the nobleman and goes out to the other nobles to tell them the great news.

He stands on the balcony of a huge castle and says the following in a strong, deep, but audible voice.

Ameron: - Perenis had it a first princess.

Pity and contempt showed faintly on the faces of the other nobles.

One of the nobles: - A girl?

The nobles whispered to each other, and then they thought that the king was playing a joke on them, he couldn't be so happy for a princess.

Another noble: - My king, a boy was born, right?

Ameron: - Count Inagra, why do you behave so disrespectfully in my castle? A girl was born, why would I joke about such a thing? You have a child yourself, but I respect you.

Inagra: - My child, a boy, not a girl, my king.

The king became visibly angry with the haughty count, then showed one of his hands to signal the guards.

Ameron: - Get this conceited, little-believing person out of my sight.

The count didn't like this, and then he said it.

Inagra: - King, I am officially inviting you to the kingdom, I don't think this would be the best solution.

Ameron: - Or do you want me to take your head? You just have to say it.

Involuntarily and in shame, the count is forced out of the castle, and then the king's piercing gaze sweeps the entire court, indicating that he will get the one whose tongue is quick to stick out in his presence.

Time passed, and little Aika was only growing up, she must have been about 7 years old when her mother looked at her sternly and hid a small surprise.

Margaret: - Come here Aika, I'll tell you something.

Then the child runs up to her, her heart just beating with happiness, it wasn't often like this that the mother surprises her daughter, but maybe behind the surprise, there is a small intention hidden, or maybe a completely different story will unfold.

Margaret: - You can wear the party dress we bought you tonight.

Hearing the sentence, Aika's pupils were getting wider and full of life, she just sparkled with joy.

Margaret: - Do I look so stupid or why are you still looking at me, girl? Hurry up.

With that, she carefully places her hand on Aika's waist, then pushes her a little, towards her room...

One of the nobles: - My king, isn't the king of Tirinia and his family coming today?

The noble spots Aika hurrying to her room, which she hid with a rather heavily disguised pitying grin.

Ameron: - They will today, and I expect you to speak respectfully about my daughter or act like Count Inagra.

Nobleman: - No other thought would cross my mind, Your Highness.

With that, we reached between the evening hours, and they are slowly arriving from Tirinia, but until then we witness a rather strange event.

Margaret: - Let me go.

Inagra: - I can't do that, I know about the relationship between you and the king of Tirinia, Naofuda Marinett.

The count pushes the queen's arm harder and harder.

Margaret: - I don't know what you're talking about, but if you don't let go of my arm, I'll behead you.

He lets go of the queen's arm, and with a look of disdain, leaving behind a small message, he was forced to leave the castle, also because of his situation.

Inagra: - Don't feel sorry for yourself, but rather for your child...

Looking with angry eyes at the arrogant count, whom she would most like to kill right now.

Margaret: - What do you know?

Royal announcer: - King Tirinia and his family have arrived.

A large horse-drawn carriage stops at the door of the courtyard, and after getting out, after taking a few steps, down the huge stairs, they had to walk through a long red carpet to the castle.

The king of Perenis was already waiting for them.

Ameron: - Welcome, my old friend.

After greeting each other, everyone took their place and sat down at the royal table, on which the various dishes were lined up in a beautiful row. There is nothing more relaxing than having dinner together in a calm environment, especially if it is accompanied by a pleasant playing of the piano and violin.

A pleasant hour, perhaps, but it should be more like an hour and a half, as long as this calm conversation and carefree environment lasted, as if it were only the smallest challenge that I accidentally fall asleep in the middle of my carefree life and miss the day that has happened countless times, which is the same every single day we live.

Naofuda: - Then I would get to the point of why we came here in the first place.

Ameron was a little surprised by what he heard, but he was almost expecting it, he knew immediately what he wanted to ask of him.

Ameron: - Let me talk about this somewhere else, let's do it.

He then points to a reception hall and 2 chairs in the corner. They both sit down, facing each other and as if they had swallowed a stake, they could hardly start the conversation, they were waiting for each other, who will speak first, a bit unpleasant, but effective.

Naofuda: - I'd like you to hire an executive team to take down Deneria.

The king of Perenis was so surprised by this that he could hardly say anything, he swallowed hard and then asked.

Ameron: - For what reason?

The king of Tirinia explained that he wants to wipe Deneria off the face of the earth because they are currently in an economic crisis against Syronida, who are planning to attack Tirinia as soon as they have mapped their supplies and assessed Tirinia's economic condition.

If the king of Syronida decided to attack them today, they would somehow be able to survive, but in the future, Deneria and its inhabitants will consume too many supplies that one kingdom can no longer hold, that it will hold up almost two 2 kingdoms.

Ameron: - I understand, that would be bad, even for us, especially since more than half of our trade is connected with Tirinia.

After much deliberation, the king of Perenis decides to attack Deneria.

Ameron: - But until then, we'll enjoy the evening, go and drink some good wine.

Naofuda: - I will take you at your word.

The conversation ended with that, and Naofuda leaves the conversation, but Ameron is still sitting there silently, thinking about what will happen next.

The two Tirinia children are running around the table, even though their father has already returned, they just continued, real naughty kids.

One of the children looks at Aika as she sits there silently watching the extraordinarily beautiful playing of the notes produced by the piano.

Hizaki: - Come play with us.

He takes the tiny hand of the little princess, and now the three of them are running, but now towards the courtyard.

Margaret: - You too, Aika!?

Her mother wanted to pull her back, but she could finally see her daughter playing with other children and her sweet, beautiful smile, which she could never forget even if she wanted to.

Naofuda: - No matter how much I raise them, they will never change, I'm sorry.

Look at Margaret, the king, and after a moment of looking at each other, the two go to another talk bar...

A little time passed, but a larger and larger crowd gathered outside, Ameron noticed this, so he went out of the royal court to see what was going on.

A lot of piercing-eyed nobles start staring at the princess.

Hizaki: - What's wrong with you? Scum.

Arata: - Leave it Hizaki, let's go back.

Hizaki: - I won't let you, what's wrong with Aika?

The king rushes in front of them and then calls the counts to account for this behavior.

Ameron: - Go back to the castle, you and Aika don't come out again until your mother and I say so, don't let it happen again.

Hizaki: - This is not fair, why is it a problem if she is outside? You are an evil person.

With that, the three children enter the castle, and then in the presence of the king, the mood calms down.

Ameron: - Get out of my way, if you have a comment, make it under the guillotine if you continue this.

As the king enters, he sees the Naofuda coming out of one of the rooms wearing only a shirt, then with a sarcastic look he continues into the room where they are staying.

Naofuda: - Good night, my dear friend.

Ameron just stood incomprehensibly, but he was too tired to deduce anything else, so he left it for tomorrow.

Ameron: - You too.
