The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 46: Rahania Empire: The hidden history of Rahania

The Royal Family of Rahania Kingdom is a powerful military family serving their countrymen. With their fascinating culture and skills, they almost surpass the skills Olympia Empire has in Ancient Times. Because of power ranking, Rahania and Olympia were equally powerful to each other. Duchess Vierra who is close to the Emperor of Olympia, and also the Royal Adviser told the emperor to go to war. The purpose is to claim the everlasting power of Olympia. Because of this, The Feud started between the powerful countries.

Under the advisory of Duchess Vierra, she attacked many innocent people in Rahania that which made The King of Rahania himself got alerted at the death rate of his people. The King of Rahania, who was at that time King Amir — Aniya's biological father continuously blamed Duchess Vierra. But Vierra claims to be a victim of his accusations from him, telling people that she's just working for the sake of her country and that she never wanted the war. King Amir obviously knows that it is a lie, but many people believed her because she was a woman. Because of that The King himself went into countless wars fighting Olympia, in the end, Rahania was countlessly defeated.

Duchess Vierra who lacks manpower, uses her intelligence to devise an attack plan for the Rahania in every war. In each war, Duchess Vierra always won battles. Behind the dirty and loud battleground, Duchess Vierra who stays in her camp would always uses her 'eye' to see the war happening right before her eyes. When there's a time, she felt her plan is not working, she'll devise another plan and make everyone a chess piece by sacrificing their life.

The death of Olympian knights thousands, hundreds were injured and mostly low mages survived, while the powerful mages died and are injured. In the end, The Olympia Empire won through all the sacrifices. Whilst The Rahania Kingdom is always defeated.

King Amir never would have expected this to happen. Although the previous Kings already predicted this might happen because of the power ranking between countries — King Amir had little hope to be on good terms with Olympia Empire. But because of Duchess Vierra's brainwashing ability, she uses it to The Emperor of Olympia and the other family members to go into war and put every innocent people in danger.

But I guess other people were right when they say The King of Rahania is way too soft-hearted and not strong enough to rule. Tired of the endless defeat, he finally devised a perfect plan that ended in defeat not to Rahania — but to Olympia itself.

It was the first time that Duchess Vierra tasted defeat in war. Her pride got hurt and thousands with hundreds of Olympian Knights and mages died. The Rahania mercilessly killed all The Olympian Knights. Because of that, Duchess Vierra didn't stop and the Feud continued. While the war continues to happen, the tables are now turned.

The Rahania Kingdom is winning, and The Olympia Empire is now tasting its own medicine of defeat.

Duchess Vierra who felt pissed at this embarrassing mistake trained the Young Aniya to the fullest.

"You must be perfect!" She shouted at the young Aniya while she tightly grabbed her arms. The young Aniya couldn't do anything but control her tears.

But Vierra, who can read anything pointed her fingers at Aniya, glared at her, and said, "Don't you dare cry in front of me. Never, ever show emotions, Aniya!" She scowled while Aniya slowly nods her head for an answer.

"Yes, Mother." She whispered, almost with a cracking voice. Because of the rough education, Vierra gave to her illegitimate daughter, Aniya became a person, someone, she doesn't wish for. Her step-brothers often bully her even when they're adults, while the eldest one would always stay in the corner, watching how Aniya is getting bullied by her two step-brothers.

On the outside, The Family of Duchess Vierra looks beautiful and amazing. To have three handsome sons not only handsome but also smart, with Aniya who's the youngest also smart and beautiful like her mother — everyone praised them. Because of the praises, her mother became anxious. She thought that if they saw the real scenes behind the curtains she covers — everyone will leave her. And so, she made her children be more perfect.
