For bigger kingdoms, she laid them to ashes. For smaller kingdoms she took them over. Her younger sister tried and failed preach to her sister the true meaning of harmony and peace, She tried soothing over her sister’s paranoia, She tried to tell her the greatest power never comes from force and conquest, but peace and pacts. The eldest began to suspect her sister as a traitor. HOW DARE SHE BEGAN TO QUESTION THY RULE, the eldest shouts. But sister; thy mean no harm upon thou ruling but thy must preach to thee and realise what thou art doing, the youngest said.
