Ancient Empire Calendar Year 1804
After the policies of the Ashbrum Dynasty to strengthen its influence over the Great Dynasties, Kislavein Geovric Kislavein was going to Ashterah, the center of the Ashbrums, with a large embassy delegation. Their goal was to make the Ashbrums abandon their policies, place spies within the House, and draw the Great Dynasties affiliated with the Ashbrums to their side. Geovric Kislavein, who was at the head of the delegation, was in deep thought
"Haaa, if I fail this mission, my head will be gone, what was wrong with me, if I had kept my mouth shut, is it that hard to wish for a war not to break out?"
The delegation consisted of 1000 people, 100 of whom were Kislavein Diplomats who were middle-tier warriors, 600 of whom were high-tier warriors, and the remaining 300 were assassins and spies trained by assassination and espionage organizations. Geovric had been on the road for nearly a year. Normally, it would take a person 5 years to travel from the west to the east of the continent, even if they did not sleep day and night, it would take 3 years. Thanks to the Kislavein blood flowing through the delegation's veins and the horses and pack animals they trained with special techniques, this journey was completed in just one year.
"Warrior Julien, how much further do we have to go?"
Julien pulled his horse closer to the Leader of the Board Geovric, then
"My Lord, if we continue at this pace, we will reach Ashterah in a week"
Geovric took a deep breath and wiped his sweat, his stress increasing as he approached the city
"A year has passed so quickly"
He continued to breathe, calmed himself, and fixed his eyes on his target
"Okay, we got into this once, we will get out of it"
A week later. The magnificent golden city of Ashterah was astonishing those who saw it with its beauty and orderly city structure. The Central City of Kislavein was very different from Kislathor. Ashterah was a city as old as its owners, the Ashbrums. The history of this city dates back to the Founding Emperor of the Ancient Empire, I Harloumen. Carl, who was the half-brother of I Harloumen from his mother's side, helped his brother establish the Ancient Empire and as a reward he was given permission to establish his own Dynasty. Carl built the city of Ashterah and named his Dynasty Ashbrum to be in harmony with the city. When Geovric arrived at the Ashbrum Palace, the delegation was welcomed by Malcolm Ashbrum, the brother of the Dynasty Lord.
"Welcome and welcome again dear relatives, you have brought honor to our Kislavein Dynasty, you have come from a long journey, rest for a week, the servants will escort you to your rooms, please rest. "
Geovric was astonished by this hospitality, he was expecting a bad reception, perhaps the possibility of war was very remote. Geovric's mood was lifted, he relaxed, he decided to rest for a while and then move on to the negotiations.
"We are grateful for your hospitality, cousin"
The delegation settled into their rooms under the guidance of the servants. Geovric ordered his bodyguard and third cousin Julius Kislavein to call a few members of the Kislavein Dynasty and prepare for a meeting. That evening, Geovric and his entourage began to make plans for what they would do in Ashterah.
"Gentlemen, I will keep it short, let's finish the meeting quickly in case we are watched, we must contact the great houses within a week, win them over to our side and infiltrate the palace with as many spies as we can"
Julius began to speak
"Leave the placement of spies to me, my Lord"
The members of the meeting began to choose tasks in order
"My Lord, I will contact the Great Houses"
"I will also gather information about the current Lord of Ashbrum, any information will be useful during the meeting"
Once everyone had their tasks set, Geovric decided to end the meeting
"Gentlemen, we may lose our heads at the end of this, everyone must do their jobs perfectly"
Everyone nodded in agreement, the meeting was over, everyone got up from the table and secretly retreated to their rooms, over the next six days everyone worked on completing their tasks, and after the one week of rest, the Kislavein embassy met with the Ashbrum House Lord Carl XXI Geovric and his delegation stood up and bowed their heads to the House Lord, House Lord Carl began the negotiations
"After a very long journey of a year, you have come to Ashterah, I hope the reason for this visit is not to end the 300-year peace"
Geovric took permission to answer the House Lord's question and began to speak
"House Lord Carl XXI, do you really not know the reason for our visit or are you pretending not to know"
Carl started to grin, as if he was mocking the Kislaveins. The delegation's blood rushed to their heads when they saw Carl laughing, but they held back their anger, this was not a place where they could show their anger openly. Carl said with a disgusting grin on his face and a contemptuous tone
"Of course not, how would I know? Or did you come to learn the art of aura shaping? Oh, you already know that right?"
The grin on Carl's face had been replaced by an expression of anger. It had been 500 years since the great Kislavein-Ashbrum war ended and 300 years since the blood feud ended, but the grudge inside them was as fresh as the first day. Geovric stopped making his words thinly veiled and glared at Carl and said in a clear and harsh tone of voice.
"Did you think we wouldn't notice the diplomatic moves you made with the Dynasties that were under our control? Come to your senses. If we hadn't shown mercy 300 years ago, today you would be a Dynasty on the verge of extinction."
Carl got angry and started shouting.
"Your impudent dog owner has never behaved you, did you think we wouldn't watch what you did after you came here? Come in, Malcolm"
The doors opened. Malcolm Ashbrum had gathered the Kislavein who had attended the meeting a week ago. When he saw this, Geovric swallowed and started to sweat. His heart was beating so fast that his body was screaming that everything was over. Geovric took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He straightened his back and had a confident expression on his face. He spoke in a calm tone.
"What do you mean, Lord of the House? How dare you arrest my House members?"
Carl was no longer hiding his laughter .
"HAHAHAHAHAHA look at that expression on your face I can't stop laughing ahahahaha if you look out the window you'll probably lose your heart ahaha"
Geovric approached the window with cowardly steps and could more or less guess what he was going to encounter, when he looked out the window he was terrified and almost lost his mind, his legs were untied and he fell to his knees, the lifeless bodies of hundreds of Kislavein House members who came with him were lying in the Palace courtyard covered in blood Geovric turned his head towards Carl and started cursing in a voice full of anger
"FUCKIN' SON OF A BITCH, SON OF A BITCH, BASTARD HOW DARE YOU THINK OUR LORD WOULD LEAVE THIS TO YOU"
When Geovric finished cursing Carl started to strangle him with his magic Geovric noticed that his feet were off the ground as he was drowning
"W-what? What did...what did...cough what
Carl held him in the air and watched him die with pleasure then took him to the balcony of the palace Geovruc almost stopped breathing at that moment Carl released the spell so that Geovric wouldn't die
"Cough cough haa haa"
Before Geovric could even catch his breath the Ashbrum Warriors grabbed Geovric's arms and dragged him to the balcony
Geovric looked at the slain Kislavein once more he turned his eyes to Carl he couldn't understand what he wanted
"What do you want Carl if you expect me to have a heart attack you'll have to wait a long time"
Carl had a disgusting grin on his face he suddenly jumped down from the balcony and rose with his flying spell then raised one hand into the air and created a huge fireball
"Watch well Geovric I will burn these corpses they will be the first of millions of Kislavein corpses"
Geovric understood what this madman was trying to do Carl threw the huge fireball in his hand at the Kislavein corpses the corpses caught fire and quickly burned to ashes then Carl went down to the balcony and touched Geovric's shoulder
"Did you have fun, don't be sad, please join them right now"
Geovric's shoulders started to catch fire, the fire quickly spread throughout his body, before he could even react, Carl kicked Geovric hard and fast, Geovric was falling towards the ground on one side, he was in flames on the other side, he fell hard to the ground and died in pain. Carl entered the hall from the balcony, sat on his throne and gave orders to his vassals
"Prepare for war, take everyone who can hold a weapon into the army, there will be a great war and a thousand years of Kislavein will be history"
Ashbrum subjects all in unison
"Yes, Lord of the House"
The Ashbrums prepared for war. When news of this event reached the Kislavein palace, everyone screamed for revenge. The Ashbrums were grinding their teeth. It was time to put them in their place. After 500 years, the Second Great Kislavein-Ashbrum War began. This war would be even more violent and longer than the first.
