Raja and the Golden Tiger: Part 1

Second story this week. This is an old character I brought back to life, I hope you love her just as I loved writing about her and her adventures

Raja was the princess of Corvana and the heir to the throne. But Raja was an adventurer, she loved to explore everything around her and she even found lost treasures that her people thought to be destroyed in the war of Niyx.

Today, Raja was on her way to tell her parents that she was going on another adventure, she had come across a book that told of a golden tiger that could bring prosperity to the person the tiger deemed worthy.

As Raja was walking down the hall, she was stopped by Lucas, Lucas was her best friend and the person she had a crush on, "You're going on another adventure?" Lucas said,
snapping Raja out of her thoughts, "Yeah, I found a book about the golden tiger," she said trying to hide the fact that she was blushing, "The golden tiger? Are you sure that's safe?" The look in his eyes said that he was scared, "You do know that if you're not worthy, the tiger will kill you," Raja was stunned by what Lucas said.

She place her hand on his cheek, "You know me, they don't call me the badass princess for nothing," Lucas chuckled, "I'm the only one who calls you that."

"I know you do," and with that, Raja made her way to the throne room.

The King and Queen were in the middle of trying to sign a peace treaty with the kingdom of Kidono and so far it was not going well, the King of Kidono was refusing to sign the treaty unless he could marry Raja.

"What should we do?" The King said, "We both know that Raja is in love with Lucas," the Queen let out a sigh, "I don't know, my love. We don't have enough soldiers to fight and I'm not giving our daughter to that pig."

"What?!" The King and Queen turned to see Raja, "Raja how long-," the Queen got cut off, " Long enough to know that the King of Kidono won't sign the peace treaty unless he marries me," Raja said on the verge of tears.

"We won't let him take you," the King said embracing his daughter, "now, why are you here?" Raja took a second to wipe her tears, then looked at her parents, " I came to tell you I'm going to look for the golden tiger."
