Grisyela, Queen of Edinburgh

1

More than ten years ago, a war took place in the central continent. The Edinburgh empire was divided into several kingdoms. The territories that broke away and rebelled from the Edinburgh Empire united to overthrow the Edinburgh Empire. At that time, the Edinburgh empire led by Emperor Henry Lancaster O Edina suffered a crushing defeat by the rebel army led by Prince George Lancaster O Edina. Emperor Henry died in the war, bringing the Edinburgh Empire to the brink of destruction.

The remaining territory of the Edinburgh empire at that time was only the area of ​​the capital, Edina. Emperor Henry's defeat was also caused by some of the troops owned by the Edinburgh empire, who were on an expedition to Mount Jeevan. The troops were a group of elite Edinburgh knights who were specifically assigned to carry out an expedition to Mount Edina. It was a good opportunity for the enemy to attack the Edinburgh Empire.

After the death of Emperor Henry, all members of the Edinburgh royal family resignedly waited for the rebel troops to reach the capital and occupy the government palace. They no longer had the strength to fight back. All they waited for was death. But that didn't happen because the elite troops assigned to carry out the expedition on Mount Jeevan had already returned to the capital and defended the capital. There was a young woman from the elite troops who did not accept that the Edinburgh Empire had to surrender and surrender. She bravely faced all the remaining members of the Edinburgh Imperial Family. She ordered them not to surrender.

“Gris! Stop it!" The loud shout echoed throughout the meeting room hosted by the Edinburgh imperial family. The person who shouted was General Damon Douglas.

“Grisyela, okay, we will listen to what you have to say." Sir John Lancaster O Edina, who is called Grandpa John, is willing to listen to what Grisyela wants to say. As a former Emperor, after Emperor Henry's death, he should return to being Emperor of Edinburgh and lead the Empire.

The Empire's condition had worsened. People, especially the imperial family, had resigned themselves to their fate. But in this gloom, Grisyela took action, which was very surprising to everyone.

“We can't just give up! Have you forgotten how powerful the Edinburgh empire was!? Are you just going to give up and waste the struggle of your ancestors to establish an empire this big!?" Grisyela impassioned-ly delivered words that didn't seem enough to make the Edinburgh imperial family rise from their pessimism.

“Okay, looks like I have to do this." Grisyela thought in her heart of a solution after seeing the imperial family constantly feeling pessimistic and not rising from their downturn.

"Please listen to me! I will give you a guarantee to solve this problem. But I want to give you conditions so that I can smoothly solve this problem!" Grisyela spoke so firmly that the entire imperial family fell silent and listened to what she said.

Grisyela looks like a very charismatic knight in full armor. She carried a fairly large sword. The sword looks very elegant and special. The sword is silver in color with a red scabbard with a sword hilt that has a dragon's head carved on the tip of the hilt.

With dark brown skin and hair as red as flames, she bravely stood and spoke in front of the entire imperial family.

“Give me full power over the Edinburgh Empire. I want to get the highest authority to carry out any plans to overcome this problem. I doubt I could do that if I didn't have full power." Grisyela firmly asked for full power over the imperial throne of Edinburgh so that she could carry out plans to overcome the problems that occurred.

“Are you crazy!? Do you think this is a game!? Just because you're an elite soldier, do you think you can act like that? You're just a commoner. If you hadn't met Emperor Henry, you might have become a slave!" Someone from the imperial family loudly cursed Grisyela for her unreasonable and imprudent thoughts, according to him. Meanwhile, the other royal families whispered to each other.

“Stop that!” Grandpa John looked very angry and stopped one of the imperial members from saying bad words to Grisyela.

“I promise that after resolving this issue, I will return the power to you.” Grisyela bowed, begging the imperial family to grant her supreme power so that she could resolve the current issue.

After that, all members of the Empire family had a very heated and long discussion to make a decision. But they couldn't take too long to decide because the rebel troops would soon attack the imperial capital. Therefore, they finished the discussion for six hours.

In the end, they all agreed to fulfill Grisyela's wishes, even though some of them were very against it, but could not because the circumstances forced them to agree. Before announcing to the people, Grisyela was introduced to be the Queen of the Edinburgh Empire to the remaining soldiers. Some of them felt unsure of the decision made by the imperial family. Some generals also did not trust Grisyela's capacity, including General Damon Douglas.

After that, Grisyela as a Queen did her first task which was very difficult and impossible, she would lead the troops directly to fight the rebel troops who wanted to control the imperial capital.

Grisyela's first battle as a queen ended quickly. The rebel forces had no idea that Grisyela was the Queen of the Edinburgh Empire. They had no idea that they would be defeated so quickly. Grisyela and her forces crushed the rebel forces very easily. After that, Grisyela began to be recognized by everyone for winning a battle that was impossible to win.

Grisyela's first victory made the Edinburgh soldiers' confidence in her increase very rapidly. After her first war, she was quickly and officially appointed queen of the Edinburgh Empire in front of the entire people of the Edinburgh Empire.

After that, for five years, Grisyela succeeded in returning the Edinburgh Empire to be whole again without any divisions in each of its regions. The leader of the rebel troops, Prince George, was declared missing because his body was not found on the battlefield.

After successfully uniting the entire territory of the Edinburgh Empire again, Grisyela decided to return the throne to the Edinburgh Imperial Family. The imperial family, soldiers, and people agreed that she should continue as queen of the Empire of Edinburgh. But after a few weeks of her post-war queenship, she disappeared without a trace. She doesn't like the job of being Queen, where every day she has to do various kinds of paperwork. She felt bored and confined. No one knows where Grisyela went. But she will always be remembered by all the people of the Edinburgh Empire as a Hero.

Back in winter where Wolly began her journey with Luvicer to Mount Jeevan.

The two of them walked quickly towards the explosion site that was visible towards the northern mountain peak of the southern continent. The cold wind blew harder. The air felt increasingly frozen, and snowflakes began to fall rapidly.

When they arrived at the place where the explosion occurred, they saw that at several points the ground was charred. Even though it was very cold at that time, the ground that looked burnt was still emitting residual smoke.

“What's going on here?" Wolly curiously held the burnt soil, and the soil still felt quite hot in cold weather like this.

Suddenly, a roar was heard from behind them. A large creature was seen approaching them. With scaly skin that looked very hard and dark blue, the creature slowly showed its form in front of Wolly and Luvicer.

“Is that a dragon?" Wolly was a little surprised because she recognized the shape of the creature as the dragon depicted in fantasy books from his previous life.

The creature looks like a dragon but has no wings. Can be seen more like a lizard in the shape of a dragon. The head has several horns surrounding it and also two main horns at the top of the head. Its very thick scales were like piles of rock with a dark blue color. The tail is not very long but has several horns around it. However, several parts of the creature had burns that looked fresh.

“It wasn't a dragon but an ice lizard. I didn't expect them to be here. Their natural habitat is on Mount Jeevan. It seems like the shooting star incident was more serious than I thought." Luvicer explained to Wolly about the creature they saw. It turned out that the creature was one of the monsters that had spread as a result of the shooting star incident.

Instantly, the ice lizard spewed an ice storm from its mouth. The ice storm was so deadly that it made Luvicer quickly use his defensive magic to block the ice storm spray released by the ice lizard.

“Attack now!" Luvicer shouted, ordering Wolly to immediately attack the ice lizard before the ice lizard spewed another ice storm.

“Ugh---" Wolly launched a quick attack using her sword, but the attack bounced back because the ice lizard's skin felt quite hard.

“Come back here! I'll try to attack. Please distract the ice lizard from the right." Luvicer ordered Wolly to come back and take cover behind Luvicer's protective magic as the ice lizard spewed another ice storm from its mouth. At the same time, Luvicer was also thinking about how to attack the ice lizard.

The air became slightly heated instantly. A large flame shot out to attack the hard skin of the ice lizard. The attack launched by Luviver seemed to have an impact, but the resulting impact was not very effective in overthrowing the ice lizard. Luvicer attacked repeatedly with fireballs quickly. Because Luvicer's magic was not too big, the Lizard still stood firm, but some parts looked burnt. The natural counter to the ice lizard was the use of large-scale fire magic. Wolly herself could not use magic at all.

“Luvicer! Can you attack the lizard using dark magic?" Wolly shouted, asking Luvicer.

“I can, but it won't be effective," Luvicer replied.

“At least make that lizard fall with your dark magic. After that, I will attack his eyes." Wolly told Luvicer her plan.

Black balls emerged from the right top of the ice lizard. Everything around the ball was pulled towards the ball and was also pulled to the ground by the very high gravitational pressure produced by the black balls. Instantly, the ice lizard fell because of the very strong pull produced by the gravity balls.

Wolly quickly stabbed the ice lizard's eye so that the ice lizard felt great pain and spat out an ice storm randomly.

The ice lizard was very angry because Wolly stabbed its eye. Wolly immediately moved behind Luvice, who was using defensive magic to block the unpredictable attack of the ice lizard.

“Just leave it to me---" Suddenly, someone was seen falling from the sky, quickly slashing the ice lizard's extremely hard neck with ease.

A woman with red hair that burned like fire slowly turned into silver ash. Her body looked a little muscular as a woman. She held a large axe with her right hand, while she didn't seem to have a left hand. Some parts of her body were wrapped in bandages. The flames that seemed to cover her body slowly began to disappear as she walked toward Wolly and Luvicer.

“Who are you?" Wolly asked the woman.

“Don't go near her.” Luvicer, in a defensive pose, tried to warn Wolly.

“Oh? It seems like you recognize me." The woman stopped her steps as she put her big axe on the ground and then held her chin with her hand.

“My hunch was not wrong. Why are you here, Grisyela Queen of Edinburgh!?" Luvicer recognized the woman as Grisyela, but Luvicer was a little surprised because Grisyela's appearance was not like the last time they met.

“Ah, aren't you a mage from the demon race? You made things difficult during the war against the rebel forces. But our troops are stronger than your combined troops, hahaha." Grisyela recognized Luvicer and laughed out loud.

“And you seem to be Edward's daughter, right?" Grisyela slowly started to hold her axe again.

“You know my father?" Wolly looked confused as he asked Grisyela.

“Wolly!---” Luvicer shouted at Wolly, but something happened so fast.

Grisyela quickly attacked Wolly with her Axe. The Axe immediately emitted flames when it wanted to attack Wolly, but the flames disappeared as soon as Wolly deflected Grisyela's attack using her Zweihander sword.

“This woman is very strong." Wolly, in her mind, thought that Grisyela was very strong.

“There is no doubt that you are Edward's daughter. Your father is responsible for this. Grisyela was thrown not too far after Wolly deflected her attack. Then she held her missing left arm after putting the Axe she was holding on the ground.

“I had expected that the opponent Edward faced was no ordinary opponent." Luvicer remained in a defensive position.

“You are very strong! Because no one has been able to hurt my father so far." Wolly casually looked amazed.

“But why did you fight with my father?" Wolly, as someone who had lived with Edward for a long time, was curious as to why there was someone who dared to fight with Edward.

“I'm just bored," Grisyela answered casually.

“Ah, okay. Weird... It seems that Edward attracts the attention of weird people like him.” In her mind, Wolly thought that Grisyela was just a weird person like Edward.

“So since I'm bored right now, would you two like to fight me?" Grisyela challenged Wolly and Luvicer at the same time.

“Are you crazy!?” Luvicer felt complete disbelief.

“Sure, but make it fast.” Wolly casually accepted Grisyela's challenge

“Wolly!!” Luvicer was speechless after Wolly accepted the challenge.

“It’s Okay, Luvicer. You don’t have to fight. I can do it alone.” Wolly doesn't want to force Luvicer to fight.

“Okay. You guys are crazy. But not more than five minutes. Remember, Wolly, the journey is still very far." Luvicer warned Wolly not to take too long because their journey was still very far.

Grisyela launched the first attack on Wolly. The hair that was previously silver gray is now a fiery red. Likewise, her large axe emits fire when Grisyela slashes and launches an attack. Grisyela's entire body looks burned with the flames surrounding her.

With the results of her training so far, Wolly can easily fend off Grisyela's attacks. Grisyela's attack tempo is getting faster, but it doesn't make Wolly feel difficult. Wolly can fend off all of Grisyela's attacks. Their movements and the tempo of their fight are getting faster, and Luvicer, who sees them, feels that this fight is not an ordinary fight. Luvicer is surprised to see Wolly easily able to keep up with Grisyela.

“Hahahaha, I didn't expect someone much younger than me to withstand my attacks this far. Let's see how capable you are at attacking." Grisyela laughed, feeling happy because Wolly could match her. After that, Grisyela gave Wolly a signal to attack her first.

“Hufft... Her attack was very hot. Different from the attack done by Edward. But her attack was not as heavy as Edward's." In her mind, Wolly compared Grisyela's attack with Edward's attack, which she usually received during training together.

Wolly quickly launched a stabbing attack on Grisyela. However, Grisyela managed to ward off the attack, but she was thrown quite far by Wolly's attack. Several trees were seen falling when Grisyela's body was thrown by Wolly's attack.

“This is very interesting!" Grisyela was seen smiling widely after being indirectly attacked by Wolly.

After successfully closing Wolly's distance, Grisyela began to counterattack, as did Woll, who continued to launch attacks and also ward off Grisyela's attacks. Several trees around fell due to the impact of their fight. It was currently winter, er but the air around the fight was very hot. The fire released by Grisyela bounced everywhere and burned the ground covered in snow. Wolly and Grisyela continued to trade attacks. They both seemed to enjoy the fight. However, it had been more than five minutes since they fought, and there were no signs of it stopping.

“Stop!!" Luvicer used his dark magic in the form of a large black ball that sucked up everything around it. Wolly and Grisyela immediately stopped their fight and tried not to get sucked up by the black ball.

“What is this!?" Grisyela was shocked by the dark magic released by Luvicer.

“I told you not to take more than five minutes. We have to go to the harbor immediately!" Luvicer was seen scolding Wolly.

“Can I join you guys? I'm bored and have no destination." Grisyela raised her right hand.

“Of course you can," Wolly answered casually.

“Wolly! You shouldn't have agreed so easily. I have to say that our destination is very unreasonable." Luvicer scolded Wolly again, then turned around and spoke to Grisyela.

“Where are you going?" Grisyela asked Luvicer and Wolly.

“To the top of Mount Jeevan." Wolly casually answered Grisyela.

“Heard it yourself, right? Our goals are very unreasonable." Luvicer continued after Wolly answered.

“Hahahahaha! I can’t— Are you guys Crazy? But it seems very challenging. I have never reached the demi-human area. So because I'm bored, I'll come with you." Grisyela laughed out loud after hearing Wolly's answer. Then, because she was very bored, Grisyela decided to join Wolly and Luvicer on their journey to Mount Jeevan.

“Sure, you can join us,” Wolly happily agreed to Grisyela's request to join the journey to Mount Jeevan.

Meanwhile, Lucifer held his head, looking dizzy and resigned when Wolly easily agreed for Grisyela to join.

After that, Wolly asked Luvicer's permission for a moment to see the view at the top of the northern mountain of the southern continent. Luvicer and Grisyela waited near the top while checking their luggage again. Because one more person was joining the trip, they had to recalculate the amount of supplies and buy additional supplies on the trip.

“Wait for me." Wolly looked towards the central continent, where at that time the weather was clear and Mount Jeevan could be seen from a distance.

After that, the three of them began their journey to the port to cross the ocean using a ship as the only way to the central continent.

“There are only cargo ships available at the moment. You have to sleep with the cargo animals. Are you okay with that?” A person who looked like a merchant with a fairly neat appearance spoke to Wolly and the others.

“I have no problem with that,” Luvicer replied.

“Yeah, me too.” Grisyela also replied.

“Okay, if you don't mind. The ship will leave in two hours." The man told them when the ship would depart. At the same time, Wolly gave them some coins as payment for boarding the ship.

At the north of the southern continent, there is a port where usually many transport ships and cargo ships dock, but because it is winter, only cargo ships are seen docked at the port. The port is quite big but looks very ordinary without anything special. Several traders can be seen along the road, most selling sea catch caught by fishermen around the port.

Because there was still time before departure, Wolly and the others decided to buy several types of ready-to-eat fish such as salted fish and smoked fish. Because the journey would take quite a long time, the three of them had to prepare food supplies well.

While Grisyela bought several items, more like clothes. Because she was the only one who didn't bring anything since his meeting with Wolly and Luvicer.

After that, the three of them waited for departure near the ship that would take them to the central continent. A large wooden ship that looks very sturdy with a very large sail. Several people were arranging for transport animals to enter the ship. The animals consisted of yaks and several horses. There are also animal farms such as cows, goats, sheep, and chickens that will be sold when they arrive in the central continent.

Several vegetables and other items were neatly packed in wooden boxes that looked stacked. After all the animals have boarded the ship, it's time for people to start boarding the ship, including Wolly, Luvicer, and Grisyela. Only waited a few more moments before they finally left for the central continent. Wolly felt his heart beating faster because of her excitement. Soon she will see Mount Jeevan from a close distance.
