Shadow Knight :The Princess' Bodyguard
Decades ago, in the Gamel Empire, which comprised of five countries—Glycenia, inhabited by the elementals; Alatrin, home to the witches; Meridia, the domain of sirens; Elysia, where the shifters resided; and Lyra, predominantly inhabited by humans—peace and harmony prevailed as each nation went about their daily lives.
However, the stability of the empire came under threat when the King of Alatrin, consumed by a hunger for power, sought to expand his dominion. He set his sights on Glycenia, a country equal in strength to his own.
On the day of the King's wedding, The King of Alatrin launched a surprise attack on Glycenia, successfully conquering and subjugating it. Elysia suffered the same fate, their people reduced to slaves under the oppressive rule of the Alatrin kingdom.
Years passed, and the horrifying events became part of history, etching their scars into the collective memory of the oppressed nations.
The King of Glycenia, having married and fathered children, witnessed the suffering endured by his people under Alatrin's tyrannical reign. His firstborn son, the crown prince, grew to detest the way the Alatrin royal family treated their subjects. He despised the sight of his father being forced to bow before the King of Alatrin, a gesture meant to humiliate and assert dominance.
Driven by resentment and a desire for justice, the crown prince vowed to bring Alatrin to its knees. He vowed to destroy the royal family of the Alatrin palace, especially the Queen, and reduce them to the same state of slavery and subjugation they had inflicted on him and his people. His ultimate goal was to restore Glycenia to its former glory, as the Alatrins themselves would kneel before them.
However, his path would not be without obstacles. As he infiltrated the Alatrin palace, his sole aim was to eliminate the royal family, until an unexpected twist occurred—he found himself captivated by the princess.
She was the last child and youngest princess of The King of Alatria;the beloved child of the King's favorite wife. She had recently celebrated her royal initiation ball and was in search of an eligible knight to accompany her.
Initially irritated that fate had tied him to her, the crown prince soon discovered that the princess, far from being a frail and delicate figure, possessed a remarkable depth and strength of character.
As the tale unfolds, secrets will be unveiled, blood will be shed, love will blossom, and hatred will fester. The journey will be fraught with twists and turns, but only by persisting until the end will you be able to discover the ultimate resolution.
