"Let's run faster than the wind, Rabia!" Astra smilingly commanded her beloved Arabian horse. Rabia looks like he understood her master's command because the horse started running faster. Astra's heart started beating fast as she and Rabia gallops across the vast grassland. She can see the tall mountains, and they continued running while passing by the numerous trees... She deeply inhaled a gulpful of morning fresh air, along with the smell of the dew from the grass and the relaxing scent of flowers. She can really feel the burst of energy, and she really feels that she is one with nature... Astra feels like she is the Queen of this vast prairie, as if the whole place is her own kingdom. Anyway, she must have been dreaming for too long because she didn't notice that they are now back at the palace grounds. She let's out a helpless sigh, as she steps down from her horse. Rabia let's out a loud neigh, as if the horse understo
South Marquina, located just across the border, was once part of the Marquina Kingdom. However, due to a series of disagreements and conflicts, the people of South Marquina chose to separate and establish their own independent country, and having their own government. This action created a deep divide and started the animosity between two nations. The hostile relationship between the Kingdom of Marquina and the South Marquina manifested in various ways. Trade routes were blocked and a huge wall separated them from each other. Whoever crosses the border will be arrested, and they will face a punishment based on each country's laws...

"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, dear. My name is Serina." the woman introduced herself in return. The woman got busy preparing something at the kitchen. After a few minutes, she came back to the living room, while carrying a tray with food and a glass of water. She laid down the tray in front of Astra. "I'm sorry if I couldn't offer much.

"Cillian, my son, I need to talk to you about a matter that has been weighing heavily on my mind. It concerns the neighboring Kingdom of Marquina." his father started. "What's happening, Dad? Is everything alright?" Cillian's getting more and more curious at each passing minute. President Redford lets out a deep sigh before he spoke again. "Unfortunately, the economic situation in the Kingdom of Marquina is dire. Their population rate is in decline, and as a result, their employment rate has hit an all-time low. Many people there are struggling to make ends meet, and their livelihoods are at stake."

Inside Princess Astra's room, she sits alone by the window, gazing out at the sunset. Her mind is filled with thoughts of the conversation she had with her brother, the King, just a few hours ago. "The weight of the kingdom's future rests heavy on my shoulders. The dream of leading the Kingdom of Marquina into prosperity feels both exhilarating and daunting." she whispered to herself. She closes her eyes, reminiscing about the moment she interacted with the commoners of her beloved birthplace. The image of their faces, filled with hope and struggles, flashes before her eyes.

The realization dawns on her, a difficult decision looming ahead
