Prince Ragel-Lilith's evil uncle
King Qiza- Emperor of Daxtros/ princess Nevix's father

"We the officials would request her majesty the empress to rethink the ceremony to establish his highness Crown Prince Alexander as the new monarch. We officials believe that Prince Baez has shown much valor by stepping into the battlefield and should be given a thought about the position."Marquis Harin and Duke Blux were the old trusted aides of the deceased Emperor Heun thus when they said such words to Empress Feyore it was clear- 'instead of Prince Alexander who was older make your younger son Prince Baez the King.'

In all these years, Emperor Heun had heavily relied on these two men, after Duke Selic, and along with the passage of time the men had proved their loyalty and devotion to the regime thus when the Duke Blux who had expressed his desire to now retire to the Northwestern mountains as a monk since he failed to protect the emperor, said as such Empress Feyore felt astonishment surging through her veins.

In addition Marquis Harin's sister was the secondary imperial consort in Emperor Heun's harem yet instead of expressing his desire infront of Feyore to give his sister enough compensation of wealth and glory to live well, this man said that he will take his sister away from the imperial palace and as compensation asked to rethink about promoting Prince Baez as the emperor.

Death of Emperor Heun- the poison was prepared by Baez

Going to the current battle to show his valor infront of the commoners- Baez was impatient, shouldn't he wait for General Azarios to arrive?

Men from the imperial court, those trusted aides retiring with such haste.....and then requesting such things from her, the empress.

Did Prince Baez wished to rebel?

Empress Feyore who had a surge of headache waved her fingers and dismissed the officials, even when being an empress, Feyore had an easy life. Emperor Heun favored none and even had allowed the unwilling women to leave when they desired.

There were no children of other concubines thus there was no battle for the throne, but now her own two sons- the blooded brothers were standing against each other. If that continued-NO! It absolutely could not happen.

If there was a battle for the throne she would lose all the power she cultivated throughout her life and even Alexander would be at a disadvantage since the only one who supported him- Duke Bezus had now rebelled.

She need to accumulate support for her eldest son and compensate her youngest son...and the only option was to get support from outside since all the men from the court seemed to be manipulated by Baez.

A marriage alliance with a princess of another nation, the one proposed by Daxtros's Emperor Qiza all those years ago to bring peace.

but then what about her daughter? The daughter who must marry that monster prince Ragel for princess Semeara to marry Alexander....

What about Princess Quare?

"My precious child, you must forgive this mother, mother is only taking care of our lineage."

___________________________________________________________________________________

Houses burned and imperial army perished on the battlefield, Prince Baez who was leading the men did not had an exceptional talent thus his army men were equally underconfident and had lost their hopes. While the men hungry for power were fighting for their obsession to suppress the rebellion, General Azarios along with Azaron army secured the houses of the commoners and returned to the battlefield that was the imperial capital rejuvenating the dead wishes of victory.

God of War

Hero of the nation

Men from both sides were dying yet when the beast of Ambrose appeared, the war was in stalemate as people stopped for a moment watching the magnificent horse that was terrifying yet exquisite in appearance march straight with the two swords beside its body, both in the hands of the man that were died vermilion with think warm blood.

"Those who shall drop their weapons infront of his highness Second Prince, Baez will be forgiven! We shall not bring harm to the ones realizing their mistakes! You will be exiled yet given an opportunity to live." Commander Seros spoke in such a manner that made people stop and pay utmost heed to. General Azarios was quiet in all of that, without speaking a single syllable the man appeared to be indifferent and frost cold to the sufferings and plight that was seen.

Prince Baez with blood pouring down his head, felt so much hatred for his blooded brother Alexander as right at this moment, when he was almost dead, there was still no appearance of General Bezus, the least his brother could do was to search for that traitor and crush him under his feet.

But where was General Bezus? and if that was not enough, this man who dared to even go against the heavens gave out an order to forgive the men fighting against him arbitrarily.

General Azarios looked at Prince Baez and smiled, yet when that expression fell into the eyes of others, it looked bone-chilling thus making their resolve to fight to waver.

"His highness, Second prince seems to be unaware of the fact that the soldiers fighting against his highness's army do not belong to General Bezus....they were trained to be Crown Prince Alexander's men initially and were a part of imperial army before Crown Prince Alexander gave them to General Bezus to train. The men you are killing were misguided by him then.

Now since Emperor Heun no longer constraints them, General Bezus used them to confuse you so that he can collect his forces and flee till then....your highness, you have sacrificed half of the imperial army today."
