The world of Goldsborn is a world of magic. It is called Goldsborn because the kingdom of Goldsborn is the one that rules over all other land and kingdoms.
In this world, everyone is born with a magical element from birth, be it commoners, noble classes, or royalties. Albeit there have been cases of people born with two magical elements in the Legends, but the probability of that happening now is…negligible.
The kingdom of Goldsborn was founded and ruled to date by the family of ‘Goldsborn’.
Today, the capital of the kingdom is busty and filled with activities as a special event will be taking place tomorrow morning.
The entrance gate was packed full of people as one could see a procession of people on magical beasts, noble classes either with their children to take part in the event or simply to watch the show. Of course, there are also commoners either moving in groups or alone.
But something to take note of is that the faces of those that passed the entrance, regardless of their class, were always filled with…stupor and awe.
Why? It was because of what lies in front of them.
The capital of the kingdom of Goldsborn is surrounded by a transparent magical barrier that acts as a defense and also as a screen to prevent those outside from seeing what is within.
So aside from the tall walls that surround the capital and the large entrance gate nothing else could be seen.
But when one enters…they would see an entirely different world. Gold! That’s the only word that comes to mind.
All the buildings are made entirely of gold and the buildings are built in such a way that from the entrance taken as part of a large circle…the further inward you go, the taller and larger the golden buildings until you arrive at the very center where a magnificent and tall golden castle that seems to want to touch the sky could be seen.
…..
In the golden castle
On the balcony of the fourth floor, a young girl that seems to be no more than 12 years with a light green veil covering her face could be seen. As she gazed at the shining kingdom, she could not help but have various thoughts.
A maid appeared behind her, bowed, and said “Princess, the King said to be ready and prepared for tomorrow’s event and he won’t tolerate any form of disobedience”. Seeing that the princess gave no reply, the maid bowed again and excused herself.
‘Sigh’. Since I refused all the princes that came for my hand in marriage with the excuse of them being weak, you then make a tournament for the youths less than 15 years old with the reward being my hand in marriage?
‘Sigh, I can’t help but feel like I have no say in my life’.
My eyes hardened as I thought to myself ‘Well I just have to do what I do best and teach tomorrow’s winner a lesson then he will scram by himself’. I could not help but feel better with a smug smile on my face. ‘No one tells this princess what to do, not even the King’.
…
The next morning, an event occurred, one that could not be called a blessing or a catastrophe but it was an event that will not be forgotten till the end of time.
