"still researching about ishmelga?"

"Yes father"

"That dream of yours and the fact that next year is year 1300, i really hope this is all just one big speculation, eventhough i pray nothing will happen, it is just a wishful thinking, so i hope this research will bear some fruit, so Alfin, do your best"

"Of course father, its for the people plus i have some clever assistant to help me"

"You are overestimating me princess Alfin"

"No she was'nt, Azumi, my current situation as the king refrain me from saying this as it will interfere with the succession process but i sincerely have high hope for both of you"

""We won't let you down""

Deep down, king Edward is lamenting, out of the 4 wive from the 4 prestigious noble family, 2 of them have a children that can inherit the throne 2 years from now when they are 21

The 1st prince, kniaz, born from the 1st queen, by tradition, he will be the one rightful heir to the throne and most noble agree to it.

But looking at kniaz unresponsible behaviour, king Edward refuse to give the throne to him, not only that bad rumours are constantly lingering around him, from gambling to rape. He also doesn't have any achievements to back him up, thinking that the throne will be given to him

Kniaz and Azumi also have a bad relationship, as Alfin is favour by her father, Kniaz always find an opportunity to hurt Alfin so that she will give up. This has happen ever since both of them are little kid

Once Alfin meet Azumi 5 years ago, Kniaz belittle both of them and try to hurt Alfin by smashing her head with a metal cup

Of course, Azumi protect Alfin, and not only that, he actually retaliate by kicking kniaz right into his stomach, causing kniaz to be fuel with wrath

This accident cause a massive uproar and became a news internationally, as the hero of dark magical swordsman being a commoner kick a royal on his 1st day job

All the noble are furious, they forgot about his deed or more accurately they doesnt even acknowledge his achievements, saying that Azumi should be grateful to breath the same air as the royalty and not to get cocky because of one "simple" achievement

Naturally, all the noble and Kniaz's mother try to sentence Azumi to dead, but some noble, Alfin and the king himself reject the idea

The king instantly resolve the issue by forcing Kniaz to apologize infront of other, but the word sorry was only by mouth, deep down to this day, Kniaz is still unable to forgot the humiliation he got that day

Alfin on the other hand, is a beautiful lady born from last queen, she is the exact opposite of Kniaz, and she have her achievements to support her

She is well receive by the people of Raflesia and receive the nickname white angle, and as Alfin and Azumi are commonly seen together, this duo is referred as angle and demon, as Alfin is a good royal and anyone that tries to harm her in any way possible will have to face her hero bodyguard, Azumi, and most people describe their "encounter" with him as meeting the demon itself

Alfin is popular among the knight and commoner, as she prioritize them over noble, when she make a school for commoner and lower knight to enroll, it was first not well receive both by her subject and noble, the commoner refuse to let their child receive education as it will only interfere with their daily work while noble refuse to let commoner study as it is their privilege and they refuse to let such people to stand on equal ground

Of course, Alfin have predicted this situation, so she and her fellow supporter really work hard for this, she and Azumi even go as far as using their own pocket money at first to fill the belly of commoner who enroll their children to school, and to keep on sustaining the school, Alfin and Azumi build a dungeon and use the tax from dungeon to sustain the school. The dungeon core was made out of the magical core of the undead lion lich, a mutated undead chimera that become the "raja" for year 1294, the very same monster that Azumi slain to get the title hero.

This is one of Alfin most amazing achievement, as not only she make a school for commoner and knight, but she also become the 1st person to actually create a dungeon, surely all those year of her research pay off and her popularity skyrocket because of this and most royalty from other country have already have their eye on her

Thinking back, all of this started when she meet her bodyguard 5 years ago, during those great tragedy and eventhough the year 1294 saw one of the most powerful "raja" to be born, it also saw the birth of the splendid princess and also the birth of the hero, Azumi of the dark magical swordsman

This achievements alone made it worth for king Edward to pass the throne to Princess Alfin but sadly most noble disagree for the reason none other than Alfin is a "girl", but what make king Edward worry even more is some supporter of Alfin only support her so that they can marry their son to him and became a royal, but nonetheless Alfin know how to handle it and if they try anything funny, they will meet the warth of Azumi, and king Edward will back them up if things go south

"Azumi, i once again will have to thank you for the subjugation of last year "raja", surely you act fast"

"I am not worthy of such praise, and you should thank Alfin as she is the one that found out about the raja goblin, plus raja goblin is an easy opponent, as compare to that raja undead chimera"

King Edward smile, he know both Alfin and Azumi really work hard to achieve their goal, Alfin goal might be unrealistic, to end all sort of oppression but as a father and as a king, he will support them

"Haha, you guys, keep up the good work"

"Yes father"

"As you wish, your majesty"
