Long ago in the kingdom of Valoria, ruled King Alric of Valoria and Queen Elira of Valoria. They were loved by their people because they ruled with wisdom and courage.
One cold winter morning, scouts arrived with terrible news: the northern empire was marching toward Valoria with a massive army.
Many advisors told the king to flee the castle, but King Alric refused.
"A king does not abandon his people," he said.
Queen Elira was not just a royal—she was a skilled strategist. She gathered the generals and created a clever plan. Instead of meeting the enemy in open fields, they would defend the narrow mountain pass leading to the kingdom.
When the enemy army arrived, they expected an easy victory. But hidden soldiers, archers on cliffs, and traps prepared by the queen slowed them down.
During the battle, Queen Elira rode beside the soldiers, encouraging them. Seeing their queen fighting for them filled the army with courage.
The battle lasted three days.
On the final day, King Alric led a charge through the pass. The enemy army, exhausted and trapped between the mountains, finally retreated.
Valoria was saved.
After the war, the people said the kingdom survived not because of its walls, but because their king had the courage of a warrior and their queen had the mind of a general.
And their story was remembered for generations as "The War of the Crown."
