Book 1: Chapter Ep
The Kingdom of Natra was on the northernmost point of the continent, where summers were short. Just as the sun’s rays grew strong and the vegetation verdant, fall and winter would come knocking on its door. Such was its weather.
But it also meant its townspeople knew how to enjoy summer to its fullest. Visitors to this land would often find people jovially going about their day. Festivals and laughter in the Kingdom of Natra usually continued late into the night around this time of year.
But unlike the merriment in the nearby castle town, Wein was splayed across the desk in his office, wallowing in self-pity.
“How did this happen…?”
It’d been one month since the end of the war with Marden over the Jilaat gold mine. Hagal had stayed behind to guard it, while Wein returned home to deal with the massive pileup of government affairs and continued to gather intel on Marden.
The entire continent soon heard the news of Marden’s fall to Kavalinu. It may have been a small northern country, but it was a country nonetheless. The collapse of a nation and the end of its history would interest anyone involved in politics. Especially because Marden had a gold mine. It was common knowledge that Marden and Natra fought over it, but everyone wanted to know how this land would be dealt with in the end.
The Kingdom of Natra pretty much stole it from under their noses.
The Kingdom of Marden wouldn’t stand for it and fought back.
The Kingdom of Kavalinu destroyed Marden in the meantime.
