-Your majesty?  - The tall dark haired man approached Maron's Queen, Zahla. 

- Have you made any progress?  

-Yes, Your Majesty, we could remove the first protective seal. 

-Oh...- Zahla smirked with joy...-Good job...

Gazol' royal palace was full of the guests but the mood was dark.  Princess Zia was looking exceptionally upset. Ilula's army was approaching their boarder but her brother, current king of Gazol, Uzaz decided to throw a party to celebrate birthday of his favorite mistress. 

- We are going to lose, uncle..-  Princess Zia nervously turned to tall handsome man who was standing next to her. The man wore the general armor, he had long dark hair and brown eyes.

- Probably...- Masari decided not to continue his sentence. He saw Sar'gen during the negotiation. The most feared man alive was almost 2 meters tall, with a strong build and bright blue eyes. These powerful eyes that looked at you with unwavering determination were unforgettable. At the same time, Sar'gen moved without sound almost stealthy, he was like the winter tiger that he was named after, and everyone in his presence felt like prey... Masari had mixed feelings after that meeting, he was fascinated by Sar'gen and still vividly remembers all the details from it.

- All Ilula's warriors were almost a head taller than anyone in Gazol 's army, - added Zia, - What chances do we have against these people?

Zia was smart and wise, she would be a good ruler but unfortunately, her brother become the king. He was a stupid person that Masari hated. Masari adored his niece, who was the only daughter of his oldest sister. Previous King and his sister loved each other and had a very happy marriage unfortunately his sister died when Zia was just a small child. Masari decided to protect his little niece at all costs.

The king Uzaz, was from the first marriage of the old king. The current king's mother was from the neighborhood kingdom and she hated everything about Gazol including her husband and son. The crown prince  ended up growing up as a spoiled person who did not care about his people or kingdom engaging in a lavish lifestyle while his people starved and suffered. However, he thought about himself highly and degraded Ilula's kingdom as barbaric. He sent his royal army to invade Ilula and teach them a lesson. Ilula in retaliation destroyed this army and decided to invade  Gazol.

-Princess please go rest... - Masari looked warmly at Zia

- Uncle, what we could do? Do we have any options? - Zia pleaded with Masari.

Masari sighed regretfully as he looked at his niece. Inside his heart, he knew that Sar'gen and his army were fighting for a good reason. They wanted to stop endless wars and save people from this miserable fate. He wanted to support him but as any general, he pleaded to protect his kingdom and the king.

Suddenly the extremely beautiful woman approached them.  The queen of Maron, who was famous not only because she was very powerful political figure but also of her beauty. She was called the most beautiful woman of the continent. None could resist to fall for her, man, woman, married, single, old or young, all dropped to their knees by queen Zahla mesmerizing beauty. Zahla was a slim looking woman with platinum blond hair and light clear-as-sky eyes. She was described by many as angel or fairy. Artists from every kingdom dedicated to her songs, artworks and dreamt of painting her. Rumors said that Maron become the richest kingdom because suitors from all around the continent sent gifts to her on daily basis.

-Your Majesty, - Masari bowed politely.

-Oh apologies Princess Zia, General Masari. Hope I am not interrupting...- Her voice was very melodical.
