Chapter 1: Proposal Of Marriage
The Kingdom of Zarek was on the brink of war if the proposal of marriage sent from the Kingdom of Marata was rejected. Everyone was anxious, while the princess being proposed to remained adamant in her desire.
Princess Orla looked up at the star-studded night sky. Then her gaze shifted to the letter he was about to tear. Black flames shot out of her hands, followed by her reddened eyeballs. No one knew that Princessorla had black flames. People born with black flames were believed to be incarnations of cursed witches.
But when she heard footsteps approaching, she immediately reverted to her usual mode.
"Princess, you can't keep dodging. The kingdom will go to war if you continue to be stubborn." The person who had just arrived was the royal advisor.
Princess Orla looked at the sky and was still not ready to answer. The royal advisor was very upset by Princess Orla's stubbornness.
"Princess Orla, you must marry Prince Asher. It is a royal decree and in the best interest of the kingdom." The royal advisor tried to persuade Princess Orla, who continued to refuse proposals from neighboring kingdoms.
"I stand by my decision! Prince Asher is not the mate I want. He already has the woman of his dreams. Everyone knows that. And I, Princess of the Kingdom of Zarek, don't want to be second!" Orla was unyielding in her decision.
"But have you no compassion for the people of this kingdom? If this proposal is rejected, the Kingdom of Zarek will be attacked by the Kingdom of Marata," the royal advisor told Princess Orla.
"Then we will have a battle! I am a princess and a warlord. And I am not afraid. The people will support me because they know why I rejected this proposal," Said Princess Orla sticks to her decision and prefers to fight. Rather than marry Prince Asher.
the royal advisor said in silence. He was at a loss. How to deal with the princess's stubbornness? Meanwhile, the king and queen were in exile for the time being.
Princess Orla secretly mounted her black horse. She rode into the middle of the forest, where she learned magic from her nanny, who was in exile at the time. It would be a long story about how her nanny ended up in exile. No one knew if Princess Orla still saw her nanny often.
"Hetu," shouted Princess Orla when she arrived at the old hut. Princess Orla immediately dismounted from her horse.
An old woman who walked with a limp approached Princess Orla. Her smile was as mysterious as the forest she lived in.
"My dear, you are here?" Hetu said as she reached out to take Princess Orla's hand.
Princess Orla just nodded with a still annoyed look on her face.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with your face?" asked Hetu as she led Princess Orla into her old hut.
Princess Orla took a deep breath.
"I was forced to marry a prince from the kingdom of Marata. But I didn't like him. The prince's name was Asher, and he already had a lover. So I don't want to be the second," Princess Orla said, sharing her worries.
Hetu laughed at Princess Orla's story.
"Have you ever met Prince Asher?" Hetu asked Princess Orla, who immediately shook her head.
"I have never met him. But I have seen his paintings. He is a handsome man, and dashing too. But I don't like him. Because he already has a girlfriend who he won't leave even if we get married. That's what he said in the letter he secretly sent me." Princess Orla explained to the old woman named Hetu.
"Why not try to accept your fate? The Kingdom of Marata is great. When the Marata Kingdom unites with the Zarek Kingdom, it will have unrivaled power. After that, all you have to do is make Prince Asher fall deeply in love with you and obey your orders. Then you will be the ruler of two kingdoms that will be remembered for all time." Hetu tried to influence the princess's mind.
But all decisions are yours. I only suggest, because ...." Hetu took Princess Orla's hand without finishing his sentence.
"Destiny will greet you," Hetu whispered so softly that Princess Orla could not hear.
Princess Orla was silent for a long time, not noticing the mysterious smile on Hetu's face.
Still undecided, Princess Orla finally decided to return to the kingdom immediately. She was sure that the royal advisor would be confused by her presence.
"Be careful on the road. Never stop your horse, no matter what happens, because I can't accompany you," Hetu ordered before Princess Orla left.
But while riding, Princess Orla felt something strange. It was as if she was spinning in the forest. In fact, Princess Orla had memorized the way out of the dark forest. But why, this time it felt different.
The more she spurred her horse on, the further she went into the forest. The forest was dark and gloomy.
Eventually, Princess Orla came to a very large tree, with tendrils dangling here and there, like hair.
Standing there was a beautiful woman, but with a very pale face. She smiled at Princess Orla. Out of curiosity, Princess Orla quickly dismounted from her horse, which was neighing restlessly. Princess Orla gently brushed her horse's coat, then stepped closer to the woman in front of her.
"The Princess of Darkness is born, the holder of the Black Flame who will lead the army of destruction," the beautiful figure said with a mysterious smile.
Suddenly. princess Orla felt that her body could not move. only her eyes could see what was happening. everything felt very fast because the woman in front of her, suddenly held her forehead and her head felt very painful. suddenly everything went dark.
"Princess... wake up, you've been asleep for ten days," came the voices that kept calling her name. Princess Orla opened her eyes. Worried faces looked at her.
Princess Orla touched her forehead with her hand. Nothing had changed, still the same as before.
