King Brisbois (a)

King Brisbois was a cold middle-aged man who had never laughed nor smiled. It could be noted that this middle-aged man was always calculative in his ways and he had never lost in any battle that he took part in because he was meticulous in every step that he took, he was never agitated or lost his calm even when his lovely wife was killed because he knew being agitated might bring about making bad decisions that would make him to regret in the future.

Under the veil of king Brisbois' coldness, there was a story to tell because when Brisbois was born, he was not a cold boy, he was simply always happy and naive but something that happened to his parents in the distant past was the thing that opened Brisbois' eyes at how the world was ruthless and that was why Brisbois allowed himself to be the villain, he couldn't trust anyone and any malicious intention that he would notice in his reign would be dealt with with no time even if it was just some baseless rumours.

Anyway, with the need to protect himself, Brisbois had managed to build a successful base for himself, he had a strong army under him and it was heard from some sources that it was in the kingdom of Magyo where the ballista was invented but there hadn't been any reasonable evidence of the said claim as the Northerners also claim that they were the once who invented the ballista.

Brisbois had never liked to indulge in worldly pleasures even if he had many wives and concubines but instead, he indulged in meaningful activities like training his body each and every day while thinking of how he would make the kingdom of Magyo a better place not for other people but for himself and that was the reason why Magyo was prosperous because there was an assured security for the people, supportive government, unlimited resources that were exploited maximumly and a stable government led by a no nonsense man.

Compared to Brisbois, Virtya seemed like a naive kid who was just seeing the world for the first time because Virtya didn't took everything that he did seriously because he was always sceptical. Virtya was simply being driven by his unwavering conviction that kept him moving forward towards this an unknown path but he kept succeeding even though there was an unbreakable opposition from the people that he ruled over.

Virtya was always smiling like a fool but behind this smile, we could see that he was always analizing to seek the best path that suited him the most. Even if he always acted recklessly and bizarre, it was because he was pushed towards the corner which would make him to go back to the drawing board and seek another route that would help him to solve his problems.

With the help of his friends like Alexandre, Virtya had managed to secure a successful path for himself and established a firm ground that would help him to deliver. Virtya had plans even if his plans keep changing because what he was taking part in was something new and never seen before thus, the stumbling blocks would always be there to make it look like he wouldn't make it but soon, Virtya found his way through because he was obstinate, his heart couldn't accept failure but only success.

Through his hardwork, Virtya had managed to restore order to the kingdom of Azuhai because there was food and enough of it because of his absurd methods of farming, even if not all the farmers in Azuhai accepted this new way, the few that went through with it received a never seen before surplus and thus, each one of them could afford a smile and say that it was Virtya who did it, and this brought down the hate between the royalty and the people.

However unlike Brisbois who had a perfect body which was built because of his incessant training, Virtya was emaciated because of the pressure from his people not to mention that when he thought about his modern past life on Earth, he couldn't sleep, he simply wanted to seek out ways to bring about technological advancement to this world so that he could rest, but at this time, he would never rest even if he lost too much of his weight, he would still strive on until he succeeded in his goals.
