Mom told me when I was little that our country “Razvita” used to be separated in five, though the actual names have been forgotten, they are currently named after a unique characteristic of the area the belonged, these are the Mountain Kingdom to the North East, Forest Kingdom to the North West, Sea Kingdom to the South West and the Land Kingdom to the South East and the fifth was the Shadow Kingdom, they had no land and many claim they didn’t exist, but many assasination of people with a good household of the time were said to be committed by them and the most important thing is the first Queen of Razvita left a warning to her heirs, to never mess with the Kingdom of Shadows.
The four kingdoms used to be at war to get each other resources, until Land and Mountain made an alliance, Mountain wanted salt and Land needed lumber and by joining together they could plunder their ally neighbor, this made the war complicated to Forest and Sea and led them to join together in order to survive.
Eventually with time, each alliance melted and the west and east kingdom were formed and war continued for many years, both kingdom were tired and made a new alliance sealed with the heirs marriage so peace could arrive to the kingdom and it did… until the Queen got pregnant and a new fight began to see whose last name would the yet to be born child have, they didn’t wage war, but they interfered with each other business, made fake rumors and even went looking for the bastards of their contenders, just to look more appealing to the current King and Queen and force them to use the last name they desired.
The King and Queen endured the childish fight thinking it would be solved once the child was born, but the morning the Queen went into labor one of the nurses was caught trying to swap the child with another one from one of the former Kings but they didn’t know which one made the order, the Queen infuriated made a party to gather all the nobles and former Kings, the attendance was mandatory for it was the day her son would be shown to the nation or that was what the invitation said, but when everyone arrived the Queen ordered the guards to block the castle exits and to make a fire so bright that even the sun would be envious of such brightness, the current King didn’t know of the Queen’s plan and was inside of the castle.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
The redhead Queen discarded her family name and gave her son the name of Naveen Razvita, she made sure that the names of the old families were forgotten including her own name, forbade people to have a last name that wasn’t given by the King or Queen and she told his son while he grew that his father shined so bright that he became a star and watched him from the skies.
When Naveen became an adult he inherited the crown and the former Queen was assassinated on the same day, on her diary on the first and only page there was a message for her son, “The shadows have given me time to see you grow, don’t ever retaliate or it would have been for naught”.
Naveen Razvita was a great king and he made a new governing system, he and his family lineage would remain the monarchs by choosing an heir from his children, but each king would choose a representative from the candidates the citizens choose, to rule each of the four areas of the country, Mountain, Forest, Sea and Land.
Nowadays the royal family still rules over the country and chooses a representative to be president for ten years for each of the four areas, the only things the presidents can’t interfere is in the city of the Royals, other presidents' areas and with death, but the King can always interfere and to do so the Royals have the strongest and cruelest military with a red uniform in the memory of the unnamed Queen of Razvita.
Rumors say that if you see a red uniform, you will never be seen again and right now i’m running toward them hoping for it to be just a rumor.
