South of sumaka.
The red kingdom.
The red kingdom which was also known as the "land of wars". Several wars and duels happened in the red kingdom thus eventually people all around the sumaka started calling it the red kingdom, the kingdom of blood. The red kingdom had three giant statues in front of the entrance gate. The three giant statues were holding a spear with a round wooden shield. The first giant statue was in honour of "the great emperor "Archeon karsen". He was the one who formed the kingdom of blood(the red kingdom).
The second statue was in honour of "Eldorian karsen". He was the seventh king and he was the one who made red kingdom rich and prosper. He was a genius who was extremely skilled in economics and he was also considered extremely kind and helpful.
The third statue was in honour of "Raktavan karsen". He was the father of lucien karsen, Raktavan was the one who won several wars and was considered brutal yet a great ruler who cared about his people. He was the fourteenth king who made the red kingdom a war land. He fought and participated in many battles and won each one of them. He was also called "the conquerer of sumaka".
The red kingdom's history was filled with many great kings and emperors but these three were the only ones who had a major contribution in growing and protecting the red kingdom.
the three giant statues were in gold and behind the statues was a large black gate.
The gate naturally had a gatekeeper who was of humongous build with a big mace in his hand. He was wearing a full body armour from head to toe. His armour was thick and golden brown in colour. His armour had several spear markings on it with wind sign on top of it. The mace in his hand was of double-headed which had spikes on it.
Inside the gate was several huge white castles and a beautiful garden in middle of it. The white castles were of different sizes, some of them being very large and some of them being average sized. On the left and right side of the garden there were several small houses and huts where civilians and tribesmen resided. On the up behind the several huge white castles there was a ground which was slightly high and there lived the king of red kingdom. The red kingdom was a beautiful place despite being called the war land, one could hardly believe it was the place where blood splattered like an every day occurrence.

Inside the red kingdom.
The silver hall.
The silver hall was the throne room of red kingdom.
Lancelot was charging in the hall.
Several ministers and civilians who stood there bowed in awe of him.
Lancelot approached the throne where lucien was sitting in a worry.
Lancelot said in a low voice "that bastard has sent me a letter".
Lucien who got disrupted from his thoughts suddenly looked at lancelot and was clearly confused about the matter.
Lucien said "i belive you will handle this".
Lancelot stared at him for a few seconds before adding "he wants me to be his king's voice".
The king's voice is a title and a position only given to those who king considers as a trustworthy ally. This position can be given on the basis of capabilities,trust and commitment to his king. While others give all of their life to achieve this position, lancelot had no worries at all. That was because he had all three qualities.
Lucien who was disinterested in the matter before now was more concerned than ever.
Lucien stood up and said "who is it?"
Lancelot slightly lifted his chin up and said "who else would it be aside from soran arjen".
Lucien eyed his ministers and said "is that even possible?"
Lucien paused and added "can a king's voice be changed just like that?"
Several ministers who were wearing long red robes looked at each other several times before one of them stepped up and said "my lord it is possible if a king's hand wants to step away from his duties".
Lancelot eyed both ministers and lucien carefully.
Lucien said without hesitating "but that is not possible, a king's voice takes his oath to fully commit to his king if he steps away from his duties he shall receive a death sentence".
Lucien added "it is clearly stated in the "book of spear".
The minister who spoke before hesitated for a few seconds before saying "the book of spear has another rule, that if a king's voice wanted to leave his duty for any reason then he can avoid the death sentence and go for a duel with the king himself. If he defeats the king then he can walk freely from his duties".
Lucien realized that it was indeed true but he disliked how the minister said it is possible stating that lancelot can easily defeat him and go for the better king.
The minister didn't mean to imply this but it was lucien's own insecurity and weakness that made him come to this conclusion.
Lancelot eyed the minister and said carefully deliberating his words "I will never serve anyone, my life and grimvalor both are for lucien till the day i die".
Grimvalor is sword of lancelot. A blue sword with golden handle.
Lancelot looked at everyone in the hall of silver and said as loudly as he could "everyone should remember this that if anyone here betrays Lucien, i will kill them myself where ever you may be".
Everyone in the silver hall bowed and said loudly "long live the king".
Lucien smiled and looked at lancelot proudly.
…
Lunaverth kingdom.
Inside the room of princess freya sairose.
After the heart wrenching encounter with her father, freya sat on a chair and looked outside towards the lake.
She heard another knock on the door.
She sighed and asked in her normal serene voice "who is it?"
"It's me" a soft voice said excitedly.
Freya who was lost in her thoughts slightly became a little relaxed.
She said softly "please come in".
Grisha sairose opened the door and looked at freya with a sympathetic look.
Grisha said in a gloomy tone "sister, please run away from here".
Freya looked at her with shocked eyes.
She paused for a few second before saying "i cannot run away sister".
Grisha approached her holding both of her hands into her own.
She said in a concerning voice "why is that? Why won't you leave this hideous kingdom that demeans your status?"
Freya looked aside ignoring grisha's question.
Grisha raised her voice a little and said "why?"
Freya said in a low serene voice "A reckoning will come if i do that, i saw it in the lake".
