ga thought. But he might be coming to know the feeling because of the Princess.

Perched at the top of a tree, Haban looked into the distance. He could see a cloud of dust from a large group galloping. Squinting as he watched them carefully, Haban spoke to Genin, seated below him.

“Genin, do you remember the first time you met Ishakan?”

“Of course I remember.”

Haban of the cat tribe and Genin of the wolf tribe had been selected as escorts for the former King of the Kurkans. As they worked alongside him, they had to watch his evil deeds. Eventually they had been unable to stand it, and fled, but they had been quickly captured and imprisoned. Ishakan had appeared just as they had been ordered to choose between loyalty or death.

Genin nodded. Though Ishakan often smoked tobacco to suppress it, he had an unbridled, wild instinct that he could not hide.

“I think the Princess is the perfect companion.” Habans lips curved as he looked at the group galloping closer and closer. Before hundreds of knights, he showed no fear. Despite the obvious numerical advantage, his eyes sparkled. Fighting and killing were essential to Kurkans.

“The Crown Prince is in the lead.” Genin said, watching the approaching group intently. “That guy has tormented the Princess too much. We cant let him take her away.”

At her words, Haban focused his eyes on the prince at the head of the knights. As he watched him charging onward, Haban smiled deviously.

“We should treat her properly. Shes ours now.”

“Youre right.” Measuring the distance to confirm Blain was in her reach, Genin raised her bow. “She is no longer the Princess of Estia.”

Slowly, she drew the bowstring. The muscles in her arms swelled as she took aim and released her arrow at the right moment. As the arrow shot away, she spoke, her face expressionless.

“She will be the Queen of the Kurkans.”
