Being a mother and a trusted knight of the King was never easy. Your daily life is always filled with responsibilities. Taking care of your twin sons while also fulfilling your duty as a knight was a challenge.

Despite the challenges of being a female knight, you had proven yourself on the battlefield countless times. You were known throughout the kingdom for your unparalleled skills and dedication. Every battle, every mission, every order - you never let the word "defeat" be a part of your vocabulary, for victory was your only outcome.

Recently, you had made the difficult decision to step down from your position as the King's most trusted knight. The King was both confused and saddened by your sudden decision, as you had been a loyal and dedicated warrior for so long. However, you were determined to focus on being a dedicated mother to your twin sons. The king reluctantly accepted your decision, knowing that your priorities had shifted towards prioritizing your family.

Tonight, your husband hadn't yet return from his trip. Taking matters into your own hands, you tucked your 5-year-old twin boys into bed.

Raphael, the more obedient and mature of the two, was already nestled in bed, patiently waiting for a story. However, his brother Rayburn was still running around the room, loudly demanding a story before he would agree to go to bed.

"Alright, boys"

You said softly, settling onto the edge of the bed.

"It's time to go to bed. And tonight, I have a special story to tell you."

Rayburn, looked up at you with curious eyes.

"A new story, mother?"

He asked, his voice tinged with excitement.

Rayburn's eyes sparkled with excitement as he eagerly scurried onto the bed, snuggling up next to his brother Raphael, as they both turned their eager faces up to you.

"Once upon a time..."

You began.

"...there lived a mighty soldier who had won countless battles and wars. This soldier was known throughout the land for her unmatched bravery and skill. Her powerful sword could tear through entire cities with just one single strike."

You continued, and the twin boys giggled, their eyes widening with wonder at your introduction. Despite their initial excitement, they quickly silenced themselves.

"And once, there was a villainous king from a rival kingdom. The king was incredibly formidable and was well-trained in combat. Fueled by a fierce determination, he was determined to defeat and end the soldier's life once and for all."

The twin boys' eyes widened in awe, their childlike curiosity growing with each word you spoke, their little bodies now perched upright on their bed.

"Did the villainous king hate the soldier that much, mother?"

Raphael asked, and just then, his brother chimed in.

"Was the wicked king able to defeat the soldier, mother?. What was the villain king's name, mother?"

Rayburn's curiosity was on full display, as he always had a many string of questions.

"The villainous king's name is Regiland."

You responded.

Both boys looked up at you, their brows furrowing in confusion, as they spoke in unison.

"Mother, isn't that father's name?"

Just then the bedroom door creaked open, and your husband entered, leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yes, my little peanuts"

He agreed, a smirk playing on his lips.

"That is indeed the Villain King's name. And he was defeated not only by the soldier's strength and skill, but also by her unmatched beauty."

He said and he smiled at you as he leaned his head against the doorframe.
