Rise of The Withered Flower

nd noticed how much the old man looked forward to the arrival of the mysterious General too.

This was already proof of the Camer familys influence. Well, everyone knew that General Eloria contributed to a lot of it since she joined the Camer Army three years ago. Back then, the news shocked the whole kingdom.

Maybe because everyone assumed that the only daughter of the Camer family will grow up to be a beautiful and elegant lady and even become a royal by marrying one of the Princes one day. Yet she picked a sword instead and no one saw it coming.

Finally, the most awaited person of the night arrived as the arrival of General Eloria Camer was announced.

The Fourth Prince noticed how almost every eye was now on the huge door, hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous General who was coined as the most powerful General of their kingdom.

Soon enough, a young woman dressed in a formal General uniform appeared at the door with one young man trailing behind. Putting aside the beauty of the female General that took everyone by surprise, Rayan Varence didn fail to notice how the girl who was just a few months older than his younger sister, carried herself with such confidence.

Eloria Camer held her head high and approached the platform where the King sat. The way she walked and maintained her composure despite all eyes on her… she didn even look like someone who was just 16.

In fact, everyone was surprised. After all those training, wars, and years in a camp; they assumed that the only daughter of the influential Camer family would already lose her beauty but… the one they saw right now was far too beautiful to be a warrior!

Her shining dark blonde hair, her captivating pair of blue eyes, and fair skin… was she really the same warrior who brought many honors for their Aritish?

It was more than hard to believe it!

With all the eyes still on her, Eloria Camer halted before the platform and got down on one knee before the King while her right-hand man, Vicus did the same.

”Greetings, Your Majesty. I apologize for taking too long to finally greet you. May you live a long life and rule with grace and wisdom like you did until now. ”

She didn sound that enthusiastic and instead, her voice was rather calm. Nevertheless, almost everyone was too distracted to take note of it. Almost.

King Horace was more than quick to rise from his throne and walked down the platform. Then he helped General Eloria to rise. Holding her hand, the powerful King beamed with pride when he finally took a clear view of his celebrated subject.

If any other kings were in his place, they will surely feel sour, recalling how Eloria was the same General who always ignored their summons!

Nevertheless, Horace Varence was different. He was always known for his kindness and wisdom just like Eloria said in her greetings.

”Its my pleasure to finally meet you, General Eloria, ” the King finally spoke up in his usual calm voice that was very similar to the Crown Princes. Then he briefly glanced at Commander Deric who was already in the hall and added, ”You are just like your father. ”

”Thank you, Your Majesty, ” Eloria formally replied while slightly lowering her head at the same time. After a few more chats which she found quite boring, Eloria Camer was finally able to occupy the seat reserved for her and when she glanced around for a split second, she noticed Rayan Varence staring at her the whole time.

She finally got to see that face she despised the most and she hated how his face reminded her of that day along with those two words once again!

Withered Flower.

With the anger building inside her, will she be able to keep her cool?
