RENASIA

1013 AF LIGHTMONTH

DAY 56

The Mountain Tribe had started to attack Renasia once again, raiding the borders for supplies like they always do when winter is coming.

Or sometimes they just do it because it is fun and they could kidnap he sun kissed girls of Renasia and take them as their wives or boy slave.

The King's Army had been sent to keep them at bay, and Princess Rhysa was tugging at the Commander's sleeve as they prepared to leave.

"Pedro, why can't I go? I'm sick of being side-lined, I want to fight too!"

"You're too young," Pedro said, swatting at her hand.

"I am fifteen of age. Ten and five. People younger than me are allowed to enter battle," she insisted.

Pedro sighed as he shakes his head in exasperation.

"Okay," he said. "Do you want to know the real reason? You are the only heir to the throne. If you fell in battle, who would succeed you?"

"I'll just have to make sure I don't fall then," said Rhysa, sticking out her tongue.contemporary romance

Pedro rolled his eyes.

He almost regretted teaching her to fight.

Her bravery knew no bounds, and her talent with a sword was undeniable, but she didn't realize how valuable she was to the Kingdom.

This young girl has grown to be quite audacious and brave. Of all the people that he has trained there is never one so bold or more talented.

The Princess is proficient in the use of swords, blades and bow. But her most familiar weapon is her spear.

White Tiger Spear belonging to her grandmother Rhaessa is claimed by her the moment she learned how to use the spear.

With her favored spear in her hands, no one dared defy her.

Her White Tiger Spear was so named because the king before her, King Jahera, fought the Arati Tribe, one of the influential tribe among the mountain men at the time.

Their chief called Chief Adrok rode a white tiger into battle, clawing its way through the troops during one of their incursion.

Many Renasian died terrible deaths, drowning in their own blood, and King Jahera could take it no longer.

King Jahera is known as both strong and proficient in the use of spear, gallop in horseback with full speed and with his strength threw his spear far, but even though his pose look domineering and powerful, no one thought that it will reach Adrok but King Jahera proved everyone wrong.

Galloping on horseback, he threw his spear so far that it not only pierced Adrok's heart, but penetrated the snowy fur of the white tiger.

The chief and the tiger died instantly, held together in a war pose by the spear.

The battle stops right there and the Mountain Tribe retreat back to their mountains and hill.

When it is the time of reign for Rhaessa who is known to have weak and frail countenance, the spear was kept in one of her treasure rooms.

The spear was wrapped in cloth and kept safe in the palace's treasure room, until Rhysa uncovered it and claimed it as her own.

None of the nobles tell her off because she reminded them of the old monarch of Renasia royalty, brave and charismatic.

She was a queen, and Pedro would make sure she had the chance to rule. She would not die in a battle as insignificant as the one they were heading to.

"My decision is final Princess. Let the army handle this. They have been fighting the Mountain Tribe for a long time"

"I am the sovereign of this nation!" Rhysa said, pouting.

"Not yet, Princess," chuckled Pedro, ruffling her hair affectionately. "Not yet."

Rhysa gave up and left, sulking.

She was still too young, thought Pedro, too bold, too reckless. She needed to learn patience, to be as wise as her ancestors.

She has to learn patience. She has to be as manipulative as Rhaessa, as strong as Jahera, as wise as Rhaella and as cunning as Duvan.

One day, Pedro was sure, she would be the greatest ruler Renasia had ever seen.
