Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince

After establishing his throne and strength for a month, the other able-bodied men gave up challenging him and so he lead them to fight the for kingdom surrounding Taiwana. This kingdom was four in total and over the years they have been fighting to suppress Taiwana from different angles. Talking over the Taiwana lands and kidnapping their women and children.

Vanish lead his people to war and establish the empire of Taiwana in the entire North areal. This war took years to win. Emperor Vainsh then picks one chief from each of those kingdoms to form his Royal council. Since the five kingdoms were now united peach reined in the Empire. But of course, as it is the customs of the Taiwana people, they continue to train. 

After a year of peace, emperor Vainsh announced his intention to make Taiwana more powerful. He said that it was time to overthrow the people across the sea. The people were surprised by their Emperor's decision. They were kingdoms south and wast to them that they could fight against. Why take the battle to cross the sea.

"I have crossed the sea, and the land flourishes with milk and horny. Gold and silver, every precious stone you can think of. I only care about what will give out empire more wealth and the kingdom across the sea has that. I have been there. So I ask you men of Taiwana, who wants to cross the sea with me and bring victory and wealth to the Taiwana? " Emperor Vainsh asked.

Men are naturally greedy. The quest for power and riches could easily blind anyone. So hearing the Emperor's words, the men had raised their sword in support. 

None of the people could have suspected that the Emperor was doing this for his selfish reasons. When he was a young lad, he had followed his mother to the farm when they were attacked by their neighbors. 

Vanish had run for his life, that he jumped into the water. He would have drowned but luckily he was saved by a group of fishermen. The storm had thrust him to the other side of the water and he was saved. Fortunately for him, they spoke the same language. The fisherman brought him home and took care of him.

When he got better he went out to fish with them. He pretended not to remember where he came from because he knew there will be no one waiting there for him. Later he joined the other young boys of the kingdom to become a soldier. He trained diligently and his skills improved over the years. 

He never forgot his root but he was the least bothered to return. After all his new home was a lot safer than where he came from. 

One day, as a young boy he had met the princess of this kingdom and fell in love with her but the sad reality was that he could never be with her. 

The princess had spoken to him nicely with a beautiful smile. Night after night he dreamt of that smile. According to the costume of this kingdom, when the princess comes of age all the outstanding men would be given a chance to fight for her hand in marriage. 

Vainsh was confident of winning this fight but he did not have the status to join the fight. So for the first time, Vainsh considered returning to his kingdom to get this status. 

This was how he had arrived back at Taiwana on the day Dango was supposed to seat on the throne and defeated him. He then ensures to establish a strong empire. So he decided to take the war to that kingdom where the princess lived. Unfortunately, he was too late as the princess was already married to another. 

This did not make him give up hope. No, he did not care if she was married to another. He would kill that man and take her with him. 

She is the reason he returned to Taiwana in the first place. He had fought and won wars for her. How could he be willing to let her go after all he had done.

So that morning he sat on the iron throne, his four chiefs with him. They were waiting for the message bird to deliver the news. Vainsh had decided to defeat the twelve kingdoms across the sea for the sake of his love but one man stood in his way. 

The Crown prince of Avalo. This prince was said to have never lost a battle before, even while he still stayed in that kingdom, he already heard a few rumors about the prince. So he must kill him and get him out of his way to get the love of his life and of course, make her the Empress of the twelve kingdoms and beyond the sea. 

The four chiefs looked at the young man on the iron throne and wondered what kind of woman this man would like. They have all sent their daughters to him, but the emperor had remained indifferent. This made them question his sexual preference. A few bold ones sent their handsome sons but only the corps of these sons returned. 

So, in the end, they all gave up, non of these men were aware of his love for a certain princess across their sea. The hall was quiet as no one dare to annoy the young Emperor. 

Finally, a blackbird flies into the place and strength into the throne room. The Emperor stretch his hand and the bird landed on it.  The bird obeyed.

Emperor Vainsh gently remove the paper that was attached to its wings. The men seated with the Emperor looked at him with anticipation. They were just as eager as the Emperor to find out what the message said. 

A few weeks ago the emperor had pretended to have sold several men to three kingdoms across the sea. The foolish kings did not know that they were been used as puppets by Emperor Vainsh. He was using them as the link to defect Avalo then the other kingdoms. 

A grain played on the lips of the emperor after reading the message. "prepare the men, anyone willing to follow me across the sea. We would leave in two months," Emperor Vanish coldly instructed.

The chief immediately got up on their feet and bowed to him, before hurrying out to do as they were told. They all knew the Emperor hated been questioned, so even if they were curious about the message, they did not dare ask. 

Although Emperor Vainsh felt like riding toward the sea already but he knew the importance of planning and preparation. After being given the instruction, Emperor Vanish stood up from his iron throne and walked towards his chamber. When he got inside he pulled open the curtains. There the painting of a young lady smiling was hung on the wall.

"soon my love soon," he said to the painting before kissing it.
