Early in the morning two carriages approaches the castle walls.
A staut man comes down and immediately rushes to the King.
3 of his cohort followed him shortly,near the massive doors of the throne room the staut man turned around and ordered his people to stay outside.
Upon entering the man shouts "My King!" Panic and Fear in his voice.
“Order!“ shouts the soldier as he raise the spear and strike the floor,the thump creates a loud sound alerting everyone in the room.
The man quickly kneels on the ground calming himself down.
In the throne sat a disheveled man with a crown adorned with shiny jewels,”King Alfaris,the men are exhausted we should end the war,please have mercy on the people,the country barely has enough resources to keep us alive".
The King sat there in silence, contemplating, saying nothing for a while,until.
"My Ki..!".
"We.. Can't do that Julio we're too far into this war,we can't pull back now,I've invested too much resources in this escapade".
Stolen story; please report.
"But my King the people need rest,what is it to gain in that toxic barren land"
"Silence!".
The throne shakens as the king slowly stands up holding his wooden staff.
"Know your place Julio, I built this kingdom from the ground up, I am a pillar, your survival depends on me, my words are the law and MY PEOPLE!! shall heed.
"That is true, your Excellence, please excuse the blabbering of mine, it is just my piece of mind.
"Keep that piece in your ass Julio".
"I will.."
Silence ensued.
The King sat back down and proceeded to contemplate Julio's opinion *time is really running out, i don't have enough time, i must obtain it quickly,i will sacrifice all that i have in the next attack, this will be my final gambit*.

The King's sudden interest in the neighboring kingdom Wystria began when rumors of golden lights been spotted near the valleys.
His interest became obsession when his spies confirmed the rumor and described the weird changes the kingdom of Wystria had undergone after the strange lights started.
*With that in my hands maybe i can finally go back to the past*.
The King suffered from an unknown disease that causes memory loss,he started gaining some of his memories back when he started to learn magic his first exposure to mana.
He researched for a cure and managed to make an incomplete medicine that managed to stop memory loss but failed to bring the old memories back
Although he has no recollection from his past life,the memories intigued him,feeling desire and strong emotion to relieve that life.
Alfaris' dream is to live again,to fully experience life again

"Julio!".
"Sire" Julio stood up unaware of what's about to come.
"Call the head of all the noble families tomorrow, We will prepare for the final attack".
Julio's body jerked,surprised at the King's words,he quickly recovered and straightened his posture.
"By your will" Julio quickly walks out the throne room,upon exiting he looks outside for his assistant.
He found him by the side of the fountain in the garden."Gidon!,you fucking bitch why are you here?",a little runt sitting by the fountain stood up instantly upon hearing a familiar raspy voice "My go... I mean hi boss how'd it go".
The old coot is visibly annoyed hearing this kid's cheerful voice “Don't heya me you hell spawn". ”Relax Sir Julio,did it go that badly?” Julio calmed down and snapped back at the thought of his meeting with the King witnessing the determination in Alfaris' eye,"Well what is it Old Man?", Julio exhales.
"The Kingdom will fall Gidon".
