Angeles, in 1614.
The calm and peaceful atmosphere of the night turned into a disaster when suddenly a horde of cavalry entered the territory of the Dixie Kingdom. They attacked the people of Dixie, killed anyone they met, looted all property, and burned the houses of the people. The cavalry was led by General Sarman Cove who was deliberately sent by King Edmund Darkoven to attack the Kingdom of Dixie for his revenge against the Queen of Dixie, Maera Vadronia.
Maera was the lover of Prince Edmund before Edmund ascended to the throne. But Maera left the prince when he went to the battlefield. Prince Edmund promised her he would marry her once she returned from the battlefield and get the throne promised by her father. But unbeknownst to the prince, Maera actually married King Lucent Dixie who came from the Kingdom of Dixie. Prince Edmund only learned of this when he returned from the battlefield.
Hearing the news, Prince Edmund was angry. Feeling betrayed, his love for Maera turns to hatred and revenge. He then gained the throne of the king for his victory on the battlefield. He also captured enemy territory.
Years passed, he managed to build and expand his territory. His army is growing and stronger. But even though his grudge against Maera has not been lost for so long. Until the time came, he sent his best general to bring down the Kingdom of Dixie. Not only did it destroy the Kingdom of Dixie, King Edmund was also eyeing King Lucent's Crystal Orlov necklace, which was famous for its beauty. Not only high value and beautiful, it is said that Crystal Orlov is believed to have magic power that can ward off curses, it can also keep the wearer from illness, giving wealth, power, and even longevity. That was seen since the Kingdom of Dixie was established, the government continued to succeed and the territory continued to grow. The people live peacefully and peacefully.
Before leaving, King Edmund told the general. "Kill whoever you meet, king or prince Dixie. After that take the king's Crystal Orlov. But don't touch Queen Maera, keep her alive. I want him to know what it's like to lose someone he loves. I want to see it 'destroyed' slowly!"
After ravaging the residential area, the cavalry of Sarman Cove then entered the Dixie palace area. All the troops from Dixie were deployed. But the enemy forces were so strong that they managed to repel Dixie's forces and enter the palace. King Lucent fought to defend his kingdom from enemy attacks. One by one the troops were successfully finished off by him. Queen Maera and Prince Wallace are hiding in the basement. Prince Wallace, who was only 25 years old, felt he was quite ready to fight. So disobeyed his father's order to stay in the basement guarding his mother. Although his mother had also forbidden but he did not heed it. He insisted on returning to the palace to fight in order to save his kingdom.
The queen was left alone in the basement. Prince Wallace returns to the palace following his father. Armed with a shield and a sword he finished off the invading enemy forces. King Lucent, who saw his son's presence, told him to return, but Prince Wallace disobeyed.
"Wallace, what are you doing? Hurry back!!" shouted King Lucent.
"No. I am a prince and I must defend this kingdom!" countenance Prince Wallace insisted.
The battle lasted until the final blood point, where only the strongest remained. Many of Lucent's men have been killed. General Sarman still remains strong with a sword ready to wield anyone. While King Lucent looks tired with his age is no longer young this battle makes him tired. Prince Wallace who was still quite strong and young did not think long. Without fear, he ran to attack Sarman. For Sarman who has a lot of war experience is not difficult to face Prince Wallace who he considered still snot. Just once a swing of the sword easily Prince Wallace was crippled. Sarman's sword stabbed right in his heart. Prince Wallace was killed instantly. King Lucent was shocked to see the death of his son.
"DIDNKKKKKKKKKKK............!!" hysterical shouting.
With sharp eyes full of anger King Lucent looked at General Sarman who looked calm.
"What is your purpose in actually attacking my kingdom?" asked King Lucent in a trembling voice.
"Give me the Crystal Orlov, then I won't kill you!" replied General Sarman.
"Don't hope!" shouted King Lucent growled.
He then attacked Sarman blindly. But unfortunately King Lucent also fared the same as his son. Sarman killed him too. Only a dozen guards from Lucent survived. They begged for mercy not to be killed. Sarman had no intention of killing them. He just asked them, though,
But nobody knows. All shook their heads not knowing with a frightened face. Then he ordered all his guards and troops to search the palace. All of them moved swiftly searching at every corner of the palace where the crystal was located. Honey, no one found it. General Sarman gave the order,
"Any one of you who manages to find the Crystal Orlov and hand it over to King Edmund Darkoven, in exchange the king will give you one big chest of gold coins."
After saying so, along with all his remaining troops Sarman then left the Kingdom of Dixie.
Queen Maera who was still hiding in the basement, slowly walked up. Feeling that things are safe because they do not hear any commotion. He immediately went up to the palace. But how shocked she was to find her husband and son dead. She cried hysterically beside her son's corpse. Where the previously magnificent palace was now turned into a sea of corpses with red stains everywhere.
The next morning the bodies of King Lucent Dixie and Prince Wallace Dixie were cremated along with other war victims. Queen Maera's tears were unceasingly flowing. After the cremation ceremony, Queen Maera visited the residential area, finding the condition of the settlement had been destroyed.
Houses were burned down, their property looted, and their families were victims. Some mothers and children are still frightened and continue to cry over the loss of their families. Queen Maera could do nothing. His heart was still so sad to lose two people he loved so much.
In a short period of time the crisis hit the kingdom of Dixie. People are short of food and shelter. Because everything was looted by enemy forces. Food, livestock, clothes, possessions, nothing left. Queen Maera who was so desperate just sat quietly staring blankly out the window of the room. It's so crumbling. The person he loved is gone. His kingdom was destroyed and his people suffered. He has no idea what else to do now. He felt so desperate alone. She walked away limply and sat back in front of her dressing table. He noticed the picture of his face that was unkempt and full of sadness.
A few days ago she was still a beautiful queen, now her hair is tangled in a mess, her cheeks never dry from tears to make her eyes swollen, and neck bones that are increasingly prominent. With his thin hands he grabbed the crown carving which was in the middle of the top side of the mirror frame. Then press the engraving crown on the mirror frame that makes the wall next to the mirror open and look a small storage space. Maera put her hand into the storage room and took out a golden box. The opening of the gold box was a beautiful sparkling Crystal Orlov necklace which was a wedding gift from King Lucent. King Lucent loved Maera so much that he was willing to give the heirloom to his family.
He remembered the king's message to him in order to keep the crystal well. Memories of time with the king were so fixed in his mind. With trembling hands Maera draped the crystal into her neck. She looks more beautiful. For a long time he admired himself in front of the mirror. Until then ...
The next day two bodyguards found Queen Maera dead in her room. Queen Maera ended her life by hanging herself. Crystal Orlov is seen around her neck. Both guards seemed to have the same thought. They took the Orlov Crystal that was coiled around Queen Maera's neck without anyone's knowledge. Only then was the queen buried in the Garden of Seven Colors, the queen's favorite place when she was alive.
News of the death of Queen Maera and the fall of the Kingdom of Dixie was also spread. King Edmund Darkoven, who heard the news, was delighted. He was even happier when Crystal Orlov got him. Her heartache has been relieved all along.
The Dixie Kingdom has lost its leader. Plus the increasingly critical condition finally all the remaining people left the kingdom. Looking for a new place to live in another area of Angeles. The kingdom of Dixie became gloomy and silent without any occupants.
Meanwhile, shortly after obtaining the Crystal Orlov King Edmund's fate ended tragically. He committed suicide for no apparent reason. And to the surprise of the two bodyguards who handed the crystal also committed suicide after handing over the crystal. The existence of Crystal Orlov is a mystery.
