Chapter 4: War of Powers.

Part 1: The woman of the castle.

It was concerning to the Sacred Realm of Granheim that two of their angels were killed by the natives.

The king himself, His Majesty, the King of the Holy Kingdom of Granheim, Xender II, called on all his nobles, priors masters and commanders of royal armies to meet in the capital in a royal conclave.

At HolyFort, the closest potentate city to the Mar-Mortem domain, came the troops of the Battalion "Hunters of Evil" commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Goethe Greyskies.

Goethe had lost many valuable soldiers, but the General of the 2nd Royal Army, Vlad Strong was furious at losing the two angels, and at losing Manuhell Baldovo, who escaped. The young potentate was demoted to captain and led to serve before the city's governing regent.

The ruler of the holy city of HolyFort was a mestizo noblewoman, the daughter of a noble adventurous potentate with a native, also mestizo. The regent was called the daughter of the storm, Karym Storm. The only woman with that status in the entire kingdom due to the promise that the king had made to his elderly father, who had pacified the lands of the savannah years ago.

Karym Storm secretly hated royalty due to the constant crimes they committed against women, natives, and demi-humans. The latter lived as slaves dedicated to the production of raw materials. The serfs, who were potentates of low social level, dedicated themselves to work in exchange for money. The merchants were in charge of moving the products. The nobles directed and controlled all the organizational activities of the kingdom and the royalty commanded the nobles. The potentate society was patriarchal and strictly hierarchical.

The ruler of HolyFort, had beautiful dark brown eyes, her gaze was penetrating and her lips were very tender. He was dressed elegantly, but without fine details. With only 24 years he had managed to position HolyFort as the most efficient city in the kingdom, in addition, the trade from the pagan domains, as well as the tributes that he sent to the royal house, were highly profitable. Now Captain Goethe Greyskies, he placed himself at the command of the regent. During his hearing, he told her about the strange events he witnessed on his last trip.

-If you know how to place yourself on the correct side of history, you will be able to see how we change this island. - Regent Storm proposed.

-We don't have any army to do it. God is with the king.

-That is not true, Goethe, you have told me, there are forces beyond our understanding. We must prepare for that singularity, that moment that will be unique, but decisive for everyone.
