POV ALAGLOSA
I sat pensively in front of the fireplace, staring at how the embers burned the wood in the fireplace. Outside there is a snowstorm that has been going on since last night. Even during the day like this, it still has not stopped because this is the valley of witches. Although it is said to be a valley, in fact this place is at the top of a mountain that continues to winter. There is no snowless day to this place, yet that is what keeps this place untouched by magic in any form and untraceable out there.
These two years I have been able to live in peace, security and prosperity in this place. Even though I've always been friends with the flu, but I always thought it was the price I had to pay to stay here. If asked how I knew about this place, then it was all because of my mother, the queen of the former elves.
I remember when I was about seven or eight. My mother brought me here, to visit one of her friends. Friends who used to fight with him during the War. And that's what made my mom and her friend good friends. Even when I was born, my mother's friend was visiting to see me.
It is from this visit that I wednesday that this place is not well tracked by magic and whatever it is because this region is where all magic comes from. A sacred place where magic power was first discovered or rather created. Therefore there will be no force that can enter here. Makes me feel safe for the two years I've lived here.
Dalroy had gone down to the mountain to deliver the medicine ordered by the village head at the foot of this mountain. From the village chief, Dalroy gets information about the war to III in the already broken Anchoral Land. He told me about the war, but there was one thing that confused me. This war should be two years away. I remember very well when I was newly appointed as the Crown Princess. But Amanecer Kingdom is at a crisis point.
At that time with all my strength, and also my intelligence, I made policies that benefited the people of Amanecer. Because of the policy that I made, the impact of the two-year war did not affect the economy in the capital. My memory falls to the day that my name is embraced in front of all the people.
Flashbacks
" Life crown princess... The crown prince... Live Amanecer..." every road leading to the palace was filled with many people who lived in Amanecer to welcome me and my husband who had just returned from the war zone to see how severe the condition of the people there was.
" You hear that? You have brought the fragrant name of our family for all your deeds that have made us all free from the effects of hunger and war.. You are truly beyond the crown princess." My husband praised me after a long time we were married. My heart really is this very because my existence is not in vain at last.
" This is also thanks to your noble.. Also the great general Draken who led the war so that the war did not last long." said me at that time humbled myself.
" You're right... My cousin is crazy to be on the battlefield.. Rumors about him being the descendant of the dragon seem to be true." he said. From both eyes I could see her discomfort when talking about the man she called a cousin.
" You are no less great than him, your majesty.. Every human being born in this world has weaknesses and advantages.. If great generals have advantages in the world of war, then you have advantages in government,.. Isn't that fair." I said trying to raise his spirits.
Our horse-drawn carriage continued to advance until it reached the front of Amanecer royal castle. I saw a King and a cousin of the royal family from the south welcoming me and my husband. The man was there too, a man who once said he loved me wholeheartedly, but I rejected him harshly. Now he has become my sister-in-law for marrying the daughter, the crown prince's sister.
I could never look him in the eyes for long. Not that I was afraid, but I did not have the heart to look into those eyes that were always filled with sadness.I feel like I really have made him the most annoying person in this world for rejecting his love first.
My daydreams were broken when my hands were held by my husband. He led me into the castle hall which was already filled with many people. My family from the Forbidden Forest also came. I jumped in my arms and hugged my father, before my husband whispered to keep me in my arms.
" To all the guests present, I King Kriston would like to thank you all for attending this party. Everyone must be wondering why there's an event like this right now, whether it's a party of our success over the war against werewolves, or if there's another event.. And to answer all your curiosity, I called my daughter-in-law to go on stage first. Crown Princess Alaglosa and my niece who is now a daughter-in-law, Lord Draken.. Come son....!!!" it was his direct word that me and the man did.
" These two men have had the most influence on our success in winning the war and also handling the post-war problems. One was a great general and the other was a crown princess.. Roughly, what was suitable for the two of them as a gift?" king Kriston asked trying to establish communication with the invited guests.
" Crown princess, is there anything you want to say?" ask King Kriston to me.
" I think that His Majesty's words already represent what I want to say." said I lazy to speak stale.
" If so let's get to the top of this party... I am King Kriston, the ruler of the kingdom of Amenecer hereby appoints the crown princess to be queen to succeed my wife and the crown prince will be presumed to be the viceroy.. I hope this gift is useful to you.
" What does this mean, father?" the crown prince was confused.
" From now on, you'll run the duties of the viceroy and help me to take care of the empire." Everyone there was very surprised, as well as me.
" And to her majesty queen Alaglosa, after this you will be the leader to be blessed by, God.." Alaglosa nodded. What a poor innocent girl. Without him knowing, he was getting closer to the stairs to his death.
