A Vigilante Amongst the Kingdoms: Book III

I was full of fire and ready to lead the men to war, the problem was, I only had about a hundred men behind me. There was no way we would take back the Kingdom of Andleburg with those small numbers.I needed Princess Alashia in order to rally more men to my army. I was sure with her by my side, we could convince the Kingdoms of Cloats and Candleshaw to side with us. But, she had left me. Without Princess Alashia, I sailed back to Andleburg with a meager amount of men. After another horrific ship ride, I returned to the soil of my birth, with Imara, the dragon woman by my side. I was glad she had joined me, but I really didn't have time for her, for I needed every free moment to prepare for war. She must have grown tired of me, for she disappeared, and I was too busy to notice. With more ease than I anticipated, I aligned the other kingdoms in our cause. I had full control of their armies. The problem came in retaining the people of Andleburg. They didn't trust me, for I had let them down once before. I needed something for them to anchor to, and so I told them a small lie. I told them that Princess Alashia and I had been married just before the king's death. Knowing how much King Wolfgang loved me, they accepted my lie fully, and they were ready to fight behind me.
