The Warrior's King(English)

Europe

800 years ago ...

A bloody war.

Bodies on the ground, bathed in their own blood. It has been two days and the war continued without mercy.

A woman with no fear in her eyes is mercilessly killing the soldiers of Micandre. She was the only one who killed nearly a thousand Micandre soldiers.

She was callled, Ara, she's the warrior's King. She's one of the strongest warrior in their Kingdom.

She is the right hand of the King, considering, Ara, was born to protect the next King. When she was young she lived in a world of violence. She learned to stand on her own. She believe nothing but herself.

She mercilessly kills the enemies to satisfy her King.

Some of her comrade were wounded but still continued to fight.

How many soldiers have died in that war?That is incalculable in the amount of body lying on the ground. Bleeding. And both are devoid of lives. The Micandre soldiers are defeating they wanted to retreat but their King is unstoppable, he wanted to own the Kingdom of Vanwood.

Vanwood is about to succeed again but only a few remained standing,continuing to face death. Both are ready to face their path to defend their kingdom.

Shouts, grief mixed - mixed the grief of those who sacrificed their lives. Only Ara and the her comrades continued to stand and resist. Determined to consume all the enemies they also want to end. Because that was the order of the King of Vanwood.

'Nothing shall be left' the King commands

'I have to kill all the enemies,' Ara said in her mind as the sword she was holding struck the enemies who tried to end her.

It was a war between Micandre and Vanwood. Micandre wanted to take over Vanwood's palace so that they could rule forever.

Vanwood is the most powerful Kingdom and the King of Micandre wanted to rule them, to fall into his hands.

After the war starts, the soldiers of Micandre were ready to take over the palace but they did not expect to rain so many arrows with blazing fire on them.

A smirk came out of the lips of the King of Vanwood.

At last, Ara killed the King of Micandre without any wounds on her body but only a blood stain on the clothes obtained from the soldiers who were killed. Her sword also ended several lives.

Soldiers of Vanwood, shouted, a sign of their victory. Swords were raised in the air and shouted again. The war is over. The Kongdom of Vanwood succeeded.

Ara knelt on the ground in front of the palace. They won yet she is not satisfied.

She entered the palace to announce their victory to the King. A soldier guarding the palace door, he opened the door as soon as he saw the brave warrior, Ara.

Upon entering, the hall was wide and suffocating for Ara. In front of it is the King sitting on his throne while sipping red wine from the goblet he is holding. His gaze was fixed on the soldier who entered, Ara.

Slowly and without hesitation Ara walked closer to the King.

Five meters from the seated King. Kneel one foot, she bowed with respect.

"I want to announce our victory, My King," Ara politely told the King.

He sipped his drink before speaking.

"Good. You can leave," the King's voice answered sparingly and with a hint of coldness in his eyes. The King was feared by everyone, but not Ara.

Ara didn't bother to looked up the King and just stood up. She bowed before turning her back to the King. Ara avoids meeting his eyes. She didn't like the King's sharp looks at her every time their eyes met.

Ara ignored his grimmed face, she quickly walked out of the hall. She didn't notice the tension in the King 's jaw as if there was a secret hatred in it. He didn't like Ara's emotionless eyes.

Ara went through the west wing. She wanted to go straight to her own room to rest. It had been two days of killing, she wanted to be alone.

But she was about go to her room when the Queen saw her.

Queen Elizabeth Vanwood. The Grandmother of the King.

Even with age, she still possess beauty, but the pallor was obvious on the face. The Queen is seriously ill.

"Ara," she greeted the girl.

"My Queen," Ara said.

Ara was about to kneel but the Queen's hug stopped her. Ara stiffed.

The hugged unexpectedly.

"I'm glad you're alive. Thank you for being safe. Thank you for protecting us and your King," she said emotionally to Ara.

Ara gulpedher own saliva, she didn't know what to say. This was the first time the Queen hugged her tightly and thanked her.

"It's my duty to protect you and the King, My Queen," she replied barely making her voice.

The Queen let go of her but remained holding Ara's hands, she clung tightly to Ara's hand.

"I didn't make a mistake, I was right to choose you to protect the King, Ara," a smile was posted on the queen's lips.

"It was my pleasure, My queen," Ara said.

"The King is my only grandson, Ara. I want you to protect him as long as you live. Promise to do everything for him. If only his parents were still alive ...someday you will understand," Queen said emotionally.

She couldn't continue what she wanted to say because tears had already fallen on the old queen's cheeks.

The Queen has never been so emotional. That went through Ara's mind.

The Queen looked straight into Ara's eyes. She held Ara's hand tightly.

"You can't die, Ara. As long as King Aro lives even in the afterlife or the future, protect him. Live for him ...,"

"Because you are the King's brave soldier. Destiny will bring you closer. You are for the king, everything has a limit, but you will die and live, the days and year will change but destiny will not change. On the day that you and the King's meet in fate , you will continue your duty... "

Ara blinked a few times. Confused, perplexed at what the Queen was saying.

What does she want to convey to her . What does it mean to 'die and live'.

Ara swallowed wanting to ask what the Queen of Vanwood wanted to say to her.Every word she uttered was mysterious.

"... You will live an eternal life," a whisper startled her. It was like a cold wind that suddenly passed.

She shivered because of the words that came out of the Queen's lips.

Ara felt that the Queen's words meant something. Though confused, Ara nodded.

The kingdom of Vanwood mourned for several days because the Queen had passed away.

She left the world with a smile on her face.

Present..

Arrow Vanwood

His full attention was outside the window. The sun was about to set in the west. Orange and red was taking over the sky. It was a beautiful sight.

It's still early in the afternoon, yet it seems like the sun is about to set.

He seems to have seen it scene in the past, but before he could even think where he had seen it, he felt a strong pat on his shoulder. He turned around to see Bax beside him who is grinning evilly.

"Arrow. So, Are you coming? But of course, you don't have a choice" my friend, Bax, laughed. He looked at our instructor in front before looking at him again, waiting for his response.

He invited me to go to the bar, earlier.

We're still sixteen years old, I don't know how can he able to manage to get us inside the bar, he was talking about.

Ah. I remember now.

He said his cousin owned the place. He added that I had nothing to worry about us being caught because the guard would let them in without checking our age.

I shooked my head and shrugged not wanting to argue.

If my grandmother learned about this, she'll definitely give me a preach. But she was skeptical because she was permanently living in Europe. She love the place. I only have her because my parents already passed away when I was still a child.

She only visits him once a year or when she has time. I live alone in my condo.

"Dude, you 'kay? Are you coming or what? Aro!" he said loudly.

He was probably waiting for my answer. I was about to speak but was preceded by their instructor who was now mad. Even my classmates were staring at us because Bax make it obvious that we were not listening.

"BAX DEMMON! ARROW VANWOOD! GET OUT OF MY CLASS! NOW!" she shouted and pointed the door for us to get our ass out of her boring class.

Bax whistled happily. I even heard him say 'Yes!', regardless he got up from his seat happily not wanting to stay of this class.

We walked down the hallway of the school as if we owned the whole place.

"It's good that we were dismissed early, Aro. Thank me" he laughed out loud.

Dismiss my ass!

He abviously raise his voice earlier so that our instructor could let them out. He was not surprised at all. But it's a good thing for him.

We walked towards the parking lot and hop in our own car.

We got in the Bar.

The security just let us in. If I didn't know, Bax know the owner of this Bar, I might think he let us in because we looked like college students. We are both tall and are also quitely mistaken us older than our age.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the bar is already full. Almost everyone is on the dance floor and dancing to the loud music. It was also a bit dark and only lights were lit inside.

"Let's get us a drink, Aro" Bax said.

They walked through counter bar and ordered beer. We were there for a few more hours, just staring at the dancefloor and girls who is dancong wildly.

A minute or more, Bax is no where to be found. He left him in the counter bar.

Then, I found him making out with a woman he was staring at earlier. Bax is really into older woman. I shaked my head.

He invited me here just to left me in the end. This is another boring scene.

Why did I came here in the first place?

It's because I was bored.

I glanced at Bax again but he and the woman were already gone of the scene.

Tired of watching the dancers, I turned to the counter and resumed my alone and quiet drinking. I would spend a few minutes before leaving, because the person he called a friend. alreadyy left me here. Damn!

I had no plans to getting drunk tonight, I just couldn't refuse Bax's invitation.

"Hi Babe. Are you alone?" I heard a woman's flirty voice.

I turned to the woman speaking next to me. And I realized she was talking to me. She sat on the stool just next to where Iw as sitting. She bit her lower lip while looking at him like I was some kind of a delicious food to her, obviously flirting.

She was wearing a mini dress that almost showed her breast. This is what I hate about this.

I had never like this kind of woman or any other woman. I'm not gay or what, but I felt like I was cheating to someone. Even though I didnn't have any relationship.

I ignored her presence and turned my back to the counter, emptied the bottle I was holding. I need to get out of this place.

Then, I heard her speak next to him again. He wants to be alone.

"I've been looking at you for a while. You might want to hangout with us. I'm with my friends," she said, flirtation was still in her voice. I closed my eyes in annoyance. I regrets stepping on this bar.

"C'mon, Babe."

Fuck! Don't fucking call me that!

I winced as she caressed my arm. Even her calling me sweet names is making me want to puke. I wanted to push her or even stack a tape on her mouth for talking flirty.

God! I'm thinking crazy. I gave her a deadly looks, hoping she would leave her this time.

"Bastard." she said before leaving her alone.

The hell Bitch!

I breathed loudly then poured another alcohol.

Just a minute later, I felt someone sit again on the adjacent stool. I thought the woman came back but when I looked back I saw a different figure.

He was wearing a black hooded jacket, his face was covered with it, only his sharp nose is visible to me. I simply examined him from head to toe.

He was wearing black boots and ripped jeans. I can't figured id she's a girl or a boy because of what he was wearing.

Suddenly, he looked ahead. I immediately looked at infront. I don't want to be caught staring, while trying to figure out if this person is a woman.

Why is am I nervous?

'Damn! Arrow! What are you thinking! ' he disobeyed himself

It's to my hobby stare at anyone especially at people I didn't know.

Before I could even think someone came near me.

"Hello there handsome."

Another bitch.

My eyebrows meet to turn to the woman. Another woman was about to eat him whole as she was staring at the middle of his thigh. Woman!

She approached me and pressed her breast against my arm. This bitch need to learn about personal space.

I thought I heard the guy me said something, but I can't recall.

"Are you alone? If you want we can play." she whispered in her ear. He could even feel its warm breath. Fucking bitch! She wants to convey a different game.

I was about to push her but suddenly someone pulled this woman away from me.

Simultaneously a powerful blow landed on my jaw. I fell on the floor. I was caught in the jaw and hit by the man who suddenly appeared from nowhere. I even tasted my own blood.

Shit!

"Oh my god! Mico stop. It's not what you think ..." the woman stopped from giving me another blow.

Son of a bitch! It turns out that the whore has a boyfriend and is still flirting! Fuck!

"Are you trying to flirt with my girlfriend ha! I will kill you," he shouted loudly.

The guy's body is bigger compared to mine.

I tried to stand up straight.

"If I were you, I'll this woman away. She's a flirt, dude," I said calmly.

"F*ck you! Did you call my girlfriend to flirt!" He hit my face with another blow. I almost fainted because his fist hit my head. I think I'm already drank.

"No .. stop..it's not his fault" the woman stopped him. She tried to pull the guy by the arm but just threw it away. He looked at him dangerously.

They were able to grab the attention inside. Others even stopped dancing to notice what was happening.

I smirked and stood up again. Maybe, I'm really drunk, it seemed to be spinning around.

"Your woman is a whore. I don't date whore," I said and wiped the blood on the side of my lips.

The woman, on the other hand, seems to have been insulted because she was also giving me a bad look.

The man held me tightly by the collar.

"Shut up! I will f*cking kill you this time" he said angrily.

He was about to punched me again but a hand stopped him. He was stopped.

Assuming it was Bax, I was wrong.

"Who are you!" the man said arrogantly to the person who suddenly appeared.

"You better not ask or you'll die" a cold voice said. He was the person beside m earlier.

I could not see his face because he was still wearing his hood.

My forehead furrowed. He shouldn't interfere.

"What! Are you friends with this idiot? Losers. I could beat you up too," the guy said arrogantly. I almost smirked. If I'm not drunk, I could also beat him to death.

"If you can" he saod in responce. His voice was cold as he looked at the man.

Then, I noticed her long hair hiding on the hood of her jacket.

What the! She's a girl!

I didn't notice immediately because her voice was high and she's tall compared to me. I thinks she's in her 20's.

It seems that I was the only one noticed that she'a a girl.

"Let see whose gonna cry--" he was cut off what he was supposed to say.

In a flash, the woman on her knees kicked. Simultaneously, she hold the guy's hair, tightly. The woman raised her knee again and it knelt over the man's jaw.

My eyes widened at the scene. How ---!

"Ah !! Oh my gosh Mico! Call the guards!"

I didn't know what to do because of the shock. I was statuesque on the stand. I didn't know if I would stop her or what.

"Stop him! Baby! Are you okay ?! .." the woman cried. But she can't get close to her boyfriend.

The woman punched the man's jaw. She was still holding the man's face until it bled. He still held the man who was kneeling in front of him tightly by the hair. No one tried to stop her.

He even heard the crack of its jaw bone.

Shit!

The loud music stopped. Everyone is already curious about what is going on.

"Aro!" Bax calls my name through the crowd.

"What happened here? Who are those people." He looked at the scene in front of him. His eyes widened when he saw the bruise on my lip, "What happened to your face!" he looked back and forth and the woman, who again punched the man hard in the face until he fell to the floor.

Everyone is shock at the sight. I remained silent.

I could no longer recognize the man's face, his face was full of blood. Even the corner of its eye had burst with the amount of blood it. His girlfriend also past out after seeing

.

The security arrived. I didn't know why, but I was worried about the woman so I immediately looked at her but she's gone

I quickly left there to look for it.

"Hey! Arrow where are you going" Bax stopped him. "Aro!" He chased after me but I had already left the crowd. Bax can't catch up with me because people had already blocked him.

I was near the entrance when I saw the woman who help me.

"W-Wait. Wait!" he stopped her. He did not know why he chased her.

She stopped and turned my direction. I was stunned sharply that she was no longer wearing her hood . Her black eyes were staring at him. She has no emotion in her eyes.

Her eyes is mesmerizing.

It was dark inside the bar but I could see half of her face because that was the only thing that was hit by the light.

'My King. Are you alright? '

'I have come to announce our victory, my King'

'Yes, my King'

Suddenly I hear voices in my head. I closed my eyes.

A memory suddenly pop into my head.

I always dream of this weird historical events that always bothering me in past days. Especially a woman in armor but no face. Who is she?!

When opened.my eys, the woman was no longer in front of me. I immediately ran out to chase her But darkness from outside greeted me.

She's already gone, even the shadow of the mysterious woman. I felt a struck pain in my head. It hurts like hell.

What's happening to me?!

10 years after ....

I WAS STANDING right infront of a glass window of the building.

I don't know why I stood there if I knew I was in danger. Maybe, someone is already pointing a sniper rifle at me in front of this building .

But it's not the case, a lot of thing had happen to me these past few days. I'm still clueless about the person who always saves me whenever I am in danger.

Who could be that someone?

My enemies attempted to kill me, give me threats, yet I always survived, it was because someone an anonymously save me by those incidents.

I woke up by my thoughts when I heard someone cleared his throat behind me.

I turned my head to see

"Arrow. How are you, bro. You'll think you're still alive with the amount of your enemy" a sarcastic laugh I heard from him.

'Then I looked at it as it was sitting in my swivel chair. I didn't even realize it, he entered his office without warning. That I was not surprised because it often came out into my office.

"Bax" Why is he here?

"I only disappeared for a few days and then I just heard that you were almost shot in front of your own company. I thought you were dead so I even prepared a tearful speech for your hill" he said while playing around the his seat.

This one is really not in the right mind.

I ignored what he said.

"What are you doing here, anyway" I asked here. I thought he was out of the country now. I haven't seen him for a few months. Much has changed here especially the color of the skin, its color has increased. And it looks like he hasn't shaved his beard for a few days, even his hair is long, which he just tied from the back. What could have happened here and he looked like that.

He just shrugged and then spoke.

"As you can see, I'm here to see if you're still alive" he answered uselessly.

I shook my head at what he said. I sat on the back of the sofa near my desk. I face him.

"Actually, I'm just bored. I just got off the plane earlier so I'll go straight here" he explained.

"Where did you go this time?" I asks

"Afghanistan" is still its cool answer.

Afghanistan!

I frowned. What did he do in such a dangerous place

"Are you serious?" In the amount of place he can go there yet!

"It's a prank!" it's still a silly laugh. I've known him for a long time but I've fallen asleep again! "I have no intention of going there, Arrow Vanwood. I don't want to be blown up by a nuclear bomb" he laughed at the same time as if you thought there was something funny in his joke. I gasped as I watched him laugh.

When it was over, his face became serious again. I would like to ask what happened here just so he would prefer to talk about me.

"Anyway, back to you. Don't you have any plans to hire a bodyguard. Not just one person wants to kill you, Aro. If I were you I'll hire hundreds of bodyguards immediately, someone wants you dead, bro!" its warning.

He's right about that. There is more than one person who wants to end me.

"I don't need one or tons of them, Bax" I ignored his answer to his long -standing suggestion.

It just depends on my answer. It was silent for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Being one of the richest in the world sucks! You owned the world class phone manufacturer , the biggest automobile manufacturing. You've developed a lot of vehicles because of that. But, Heyy! The largest bank you owned was robbed, you lost 50 billion dollars, the Airline too is what! planned bombing by those you think terrorists in Iran "its long litany. "Aro, be serious here. You need to hire bodyguards. Your life is in danger" he added with a hint of concern. I know he's really worried, at least sometimes he just jokes about what he's saying.

I smiled bitterly.

Lucky him.

Bax Demmon is not different from me. He's a shipping magnate but no one knows about his background, of course.

He chose to be low profile and travel around the world to run his own business. They were still in high school when it was a secret that being a rich child. Maybe he preferred that because both his parents died in brutal death.

They were killed by their enemies in business. We get along because we both no longer have parents. So we were treated like brothers and sisters.

So it was clear in the sunshine that those who were trying to take my life were also my enemies in business.

"Bax, I told you. I don't need a bodyguard or anyone else" I refused his suggestion again. He's been teasing me for that for a few months. It's just that it's not enough to offer to be my guard, which I don't want.

"Why the hell not ?!" he raised his eyebrow like a child irritated with his mother. That is the question again. He didn't really understand me because I didn't say the real reason why I chose not to hire a bodyguard.

I was caught up in the sense.

That's why it flew back to the Philippines to convince me again. And this discussion is just repeated.

"I think I already have one" I muttered. I don't even know if it even heard what I said because it was like I was just whispering in the air. I'm not ready to say everything here yet.

But it looks like he heard what I whispered so he sat down.

"You think? What do you mean, Aro? So, you already have a hire?" can't wait to question it.

"Yeah. I guess" I shrugged. I was restless and hesitant as well. What can it think when I find out what really happens when I'm in trouble.

"What! What do you mean I guess, Aro. Your trouble" he just scratched his head as if he was already confused with me.

I decided to just tell the truth here.

"Do you remember the woman I'm telling you about--" What I was supposed to say to Bax was cut short when a soft knock on the door interrupted.

The door of my private office opened and Rally jumped out of there. My Executive assistant. He was wearing a mirror, he didn't go in completely, he just peeked through the doorway.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Sir. But you have an urgent board meeting today for the $ 50 million loss" she said. He didn't even glance at my companion. What can there be in these two and often go unnoticed. It's as if they have a secret hatred for each other.

I looked at the wrist watch I'm wearing.

I remember that I had a meeting today that I missed because of deep thinking. It already told me that this morning. And $ 50 million is not a loss to me. That was still small for me.

I just nodded here and motioned to come out and I would follow into the boardroom.

"Oh, sir, we have a meeting. You didn't say that" Bax said jokingly. He stood up and adjusted his black dress with a black leather jacket. I noticed that he was wearing his favorite sneakers again that hadn't been washed with too much dirt. She stroked her messy hair.

I also got up and adjusted the suit I was wearing. I didn't bring anything so I left immediately. Bax followed me and walked with me.

Moments later my Executive Assitant, Rally, appeared next to me. It holds files in hand.

"Sir, these are the files. That's the Bank's FS report" he handed me a white folder.

I took it from him and studied it as the two walked with me to the Board room.

"You can go back to your station, Miss Foiller" I said here.

"But, Sir I need to take notes--" it protested.

"Let Bax handle it" I interrupted what he had to say.

He looked at Bax who was still beside me and then smirked. It even caught my eye.

"Okay, Sir" it said as if just forced 'then it left beside me.

"Damn! Why me!" Bax complained that my EA was gone.

"You're my Assitant, Bax" I said here without taking my eyes off what I was reading.

It seems to have come to fruition. Remembered the prank.

"Yeah! I'm sorry, Boss. I almost forgot" he said sarcastically.

This is the one who proclaimed to be his personal assistant. It seems that others do not wonder where he gets his money even though he doesn't have a job.

The hypocritical Bax Demmon. I was just shaken by its trip in life.
