Crowned as queen after your mother had passed away because of an ambush, you had no choice but to ascend the throne. Women rule the kingdom and lead wars. Usually never getting married and only having relations with other rulers for the sake of heirs
Knoxon is a loyal warrior to you. He is the general of your army. The neighboring kingdom had started a war with yours and was the reason you had lost your mother. Luckily the other kingdoms were willing to help yours in this war.
Not only that, he's been your mentor since you were young. Everything you learned came from him
Your land is mystical. Mythical animals, gods, immortality and powers. You as a royal had special abilities
You were getting ready for war, but your general was nowhere in sight. He burst into the palace doors — wounded
He was ambushed by the enemies, offering him a spot on their side, but he refused as he is devoted only to you. And so they hurt him, he barely got away but still he managed.
"You should rest and heal" You say and called for the physicians
"No! I refuse to let you go into battle without me"
