Chapter 2.1: Girl with no name
Prince of lost Kingdom chapter 2: Girl with no name
It was dark and cold, When I open my eye, I see beautiful green haired young lady standing right front of me, she smiling at me with happy expression on her face, what is going on who is she … more importantly who am I. When these questions pop out in my head green haired girl start talk to me with gentle voice
[I knew you confused right now; I want to tell you lots of thing about that’s world that you about to live in and that we call our home, lots of sad think will happen and it already happened but we are lucky get second chance]
[I don’t understand what you talk about, none of them make no sense]
[It will]
Then that green hair girl hugged me and sing for me, Song that made me very happy and worm inside but for some reason she was crying and whisper to my ear
[I hope this time you will find a happiness in your life … and find him]
After I hear her word my vision begging to blur into nothing but black … I can’t see anything and heard voices, Whispers? They talk about something that I don’t understand then I opened my eye to see burning city, Peoples are running from something … then I look back and see horrifying monsters coming. They are killing everyone they see then I am felt fear
[Demons are attacking …]
That guy just killed after saying that and I run fast as I can, as at moment all I was felt fear in this world that moment I wake from whatever to was happening to me at time and I only see darkness before me
I run and run from them and fear and confused, what the heck is happening. Where I am and who am I and what are these why is all this happing to me then demons catch up with me and I was surrounded by them
[Please someone help me!]
I scream loud as I could for asking for help then demon make sound like they are laughing at me. Moment one big demon reached his huge arm to crush me … is this it? Die again? Without doing anything?
Wait die again what am I thinking … isn’t this my first time dying but is that really matter now … Moment I give up and proper to die there something happened to me, I was surrounded by mysterious and beautiful magic power that power shielded from these demons’ attack
This magic looked like combination of dark and blue sky greeting beautiful night sky and that magic healing me, I felt happiness at that time, first time I felt that something nice and somehow feel nostalgic? Wait do I know these feeling?
Then man in black blue outfit jumps front me and he start killing these demons with magic that protecting me and he look at me with apologetic expression on his face
[Sorry, we late … little girl, you need to hide]
Then more people with same cloth come here. Wait is that some sort of uniforms? … wait, wait how I am known about these thinks? … and they showed me place to hide, and I see them fighting against these horrifying demons with brave face
[Captain Ryu-Zorro, there is other village under attack with flying demons in eastern area]
[They are too active today huh, Demon Lord Argordia is planning something]
Later on I learn that they were heroes who fighting there evil demons and protects the surrounding area, Also know as Kingdom of Ryu, After that encounter I lived at street without food or anything for mouth and I start steel food from other because I was hungry then I start meeting other war orphans in the streets
We start build little home for us and living for ourselves then these demons attacked village I lived again and we flee everything we build and see that everything we build burn to ashes, every time these damned demons appeared these army of Kingdom of Ryu come to save us and leave once demon are gone. This circle happened few times so we call them demon hunters because all we know that they fight against demons and hunt them down and help us but long as these demons gone so they are
Later I learn that there is huge war going on and only Kingdom actually try to stop this demon rampage is that Kingdom of Ryu every other nation, Kingdom are just blind eyed and ignored us and that’s reason one Kingdom fighting in huge field having trouble with men power far I understand they having less and less people in their nation because of birth rate or something
They have to lots of young warrior in battle order to protect people like us and death rate is way bigger than birth rate on that nation, I over hear that when they talk about it their have 10 birth or less birth but ten of thousand people dies in every year in battlefield.
There was rumor that Kingdom Ryu will no longer exists in next ten year or something at this year, So I know that I can’t always hope them to save us every time we get attacked by these demons so we stat build little bunker and place to hide our new home.
After I finished that I sell think that to rich people that love collect weird things that we made our home using garbage then I meet him guy who calls himself Ryu-Gen on my way home, Self-proclaimed prince of Kingdom of Ryu, Kingdom that saving me multiple time and Kingdom that slowly dying from inside
Then I see he using same magic as these warriors and he give me his ring
[Tell my mam and dad that I died as warrior like the first king]
I felt that I was happy with him and I remembered that that green haired woman with horn word that “I hope this time you will find a happiness in your life … and find him” Then I understand that he was one who I have to find
Huge magic arm appears then he punches these bandits and strange wizard and tell us that run
[But … I can’t leave you here]
[Just go, look at them, they are scared you know … You have to led them to save place which is far as possible from me]
[But I …]
[Don’t worry I was prepared to die from moment I born I was told that I was born with destiny to protect these who can’t protect themselves … they will sing song about me]
When he saying that he was crying and he was smiling but I can tell that was fake smile that he was trying to hide his sadness that he felt
That moment I understand mentality of these who fight against these demons, I realize that moment everyone felt that fear and run for themselves but they have to brave one to save other so even if they were felt fear and even so they still fight for us. Is this always this way?
Is that protect these who can’t themselves that important to them that they ready to throw they life into where danger is? Why I didn’t notice this before?
While running I was crying, I can’t stop crying and there is huge exploration right behind me and I hear that guy claimed to that one who was one who summoned demons spoke with great joy
“Not bad, Now let me show you my ultimate skill, Rain of hellfire”
Then sky turn into pure black and black fire like start raining down it was raining; Entire area will be destroyed by this huge rain of fire!
Then I see that magic shield saved me when I was fist wake up in that village but this time instead of dark and blue but is was combination of dark and red great that sunsets sky and heal everything around the forest
[Do not underestimate the prince of Kingdom of Ryu]
Then Ryu-Gen was in middle of that magic shield that protect all of us from that horrifying rain and he was middle on air on the magic platform. He looks at us with expression that as if he was happy to see us safe
[As first king Ryuusan Sama teach us that our nation exists to protect]
Then he jumps down from that flatform and he continued to fight against that wizard, as for us we run fast as we could and reach safe distance that we can not hear sound of battle. Then moment I was felling little bit relaxed and I felt guilt about living him alone?
Why do I feel this way?
Then we hear that whispers that always follow that demons, And I see huge demons come out from forest that creepily smile at us and slowly getting closer everyone hides behind me but what I can do at this moment?
Then one of these demon hunters jump front us fight against that demon and killed that one, He has little worried face expression on his face
[Damn it, just where these demons coming from. I have to find Prince Ryu-Gen]
He mutters that himself but I hear that I run to him when I see me, he spoke with gentle voice
[Sorry, I hope I make it right in time and I hope that I was able to save everyone this time …]
[No, you have to save him. Prince Ryu-Gen in the forest fighting against bad guys who works with demons]
I interrupted him to say that Ryu-Gen needs his help and I show that ring he give me
[He told me that give this to his parent but … you see he is in the forest]
[Bad guy who fight long side with demons … Demon god worshiper, Girls where is young prince?]
Then few other demon hunters come to us and guy who was talking to us looks at them
[Two of you follow me rest protect these children … Now then lead us to young prince’s location, little girl]
I nodded his word and lead them to Ryu-Gen that where battle was going on, moment we arranged that place I saw Ryu-Gen fully beaten up and collapse to ground tears on his eye that
[Sorry Mother, I can’t be hero who act like first king …]
After he collapsed on ground demon hunters with me take him and one look at the Wizard and fear appeared on their face
[Oh shit, is its great Burning Hellfire Wizard himself?]
[I can’t believe that our young prince faced this guy this long … change plan take young prince and green haired girl then run]
Guy who talk to me earlier stand front of everyone that he was ready to protect everyone
[Captain, We can’t just …]
[Listen here, that guy there is one who killed Shining night Sky Ryu-Zorro and he mastered hellfire of black fire that can break out ultimate shield and he is demon god worshiper who poses a same level of that one who called themselves as demon lords]
And he took his sword and smile at us but I realized that he tries to hide his fear
[I am sorry but no one will leave this place, I will kill that prince of yours, He dear to make a scare on my face]
[I don’t know how he was able to fight monster like him huh isn’t our prince talented? I am nothing like his so run now I will give you guys little bit time to run]
Then that wizard shoots black fire at us but captain of demon hunter blocks his black fire with his magic shield, His magic shield looks like combinations of dark and Purple that great unique color. Is everyone their shield has different color defending on who is using it
Then I later on learn that yes, they were its combination of their naturel energy color and destruction magic but at moment I didn’t even know what is naturel energy color is
[Nice to meet you, I am captain of third royal guard known as The Shining Purple Diamond Ryu-Don. You need more than this to break my shield demon god worshipper]
Demon hunters take me and Ryu-Gen and run to the rest of their army and I saw them crying but I hear that sound huge explosion right back at us, When I look back I saw captain of demon hunter burning alive, He know that he can’t win that wizard who called himself as Burning Hellfire Wizard but he still try to save us.
After that we meet the other and Alima hugged Ryu-Gen and she was crying that while saying that “Big brother are hurt, please open your eye”. And I saw large demon army was coming in our direction but thankfully large army of demon hunters fight and protect everyone in that city but after the fight everyone in village leave them and everyone in demon hunters sad for that all the comrade died in battle
At that moment I realize that reason why they disappear after all demons gone was that they was that lots of them died in battle and they take their death body to their family, when I was look around I saw happy and relied villager and when look at the demon hunters some them hugs their death comrades body while crying and other just stand there covering their eye while saying “Aren’t you say that you will …”
I finally understand that demon hunter who face against most dangers monsters in this world actually suffers more that anyone, I did have one question why are they sacrifice they life for bunch of stranger and face against then I saw something answered my question
There was one little girl crying in fear middle of ruins of building and one solder come to her
[Don’t cry we here to protect you, you can always defend on us … these demons will never can hurt you when we are here]
They fight because it was their founder the first king’s last wish and he was one who lost everything in battle in other word he was war orphan like us so he has strong desire to help people like him but they didn’t take care of war orphans, yes they defeat the evil that called demons but that girl have to life her life all alone, moment I realize that I run to that girl
[Come let’s go, I am here for you]
Then I lead her to other and I saw that demon hunters looked at me with surprised expressions on their face, Wait have I did something to made their mad at me?
Moment that on my thought one them come to me with happy and proved smile on her lips
[Look at big sis taking care of young lines huh, you have big hearth girl. May I ask your name]
[I don’t have … I am person with no name]
When look at Ryu-Gen I saw that Alima was holding his hand spoke with worried expression on her face
[Please, open your eye]
Then we reach their capital city that called Ryu Dum is beautiful and big city, At the moment I didn’t knew that will my new home, Happy place that I love so much.
After we reach the city them, they tell the everyone family that their son or daughter in died front line
[I am not sad, after all my son was hero]
Mother of captain that saved us that she saying that while crying and hugging his son and everyone just stand there with silently. Then I was summoned meet tomorrow to royal castle to meet King of this nation. Then they lead me to hospital on way I saw statue of one man with four woman and there was text that says “As for ruler of this I will fight to protect these who can’t, everyone right to have peaceful and happy life as they want”
Philosophy that everyone in this nation follows at their hearth and everyone follow footstep of that king, and next I saw was young ten or eleven young kids was practicing on training yard and saying that “As we will become warrior who protect like first king”
Even if everyone trying to follow his footstep they got less and lesser demon hunters because that they focus on fight against demons and there few births, not just that not many of them got married to have family because they too busy to protect and live up expectation of their great king’ legacy.
And death rate is huge when you compare to birth rate, like 10 to ten thousand. I wonder how they stay that long in first place? When I was wondering about that one demon hunter come to room that we were
[North Greenwood town under attack by demons I need volunteers to save them]
And almost everyone who can take blade goes with him to protect other village, few moment later Ryu-Gen open his eye and look at me, then happily smiled at me
[Thank goodness, you are safe]
[Instead of worrying about me worry about yourself, dummy]
[Ouch, I feel pain, so I am life huh … huh]
Alima hugged him and happily cried
[Don’t ever scare me like this again]
[What are you talk about I am demon hunter prince and this is my job]
That moment I saw his happy and beautiful smile, they are really amazing peoples aren’t they
Then one young gentle looking lady enter the room and spoke with gentle voice to us
[Children who saved our prince, we prepared room for you. So, follow me]
After that we followed her and rest that room prepared for us, that night I was thinking about day, what happened today was crazy but it looks like regular for these who fights against demons, these demons attack all over the world and they come to help everyone in world as their goal.
That moment I made my mind, I will become demon hunter like them and protect my family from those freaking demons and demon god worshippers, I will no longer hide and run from these demons and allow them take what we care most important things from us.
Next morning, I meet King, Queen and Ryu-gen in their throne room, King who has big and strong appears stand up and spoke with gentle but strong voice
[Thanks for taking brave action and saving my son, Young lady is there anything you want?]
[Yes, your highness. I want to become demon hunter that protects my family … you see I am war orphan that lost everything during demon invasion]
King look at me surprised but happy
[You brave and I respect that you are none magic user, right? It too dangers for you to fight]
[Father, she is braver that you know, if you ask me, she can reach the mountain of death if you ask me]
King even more surprised by that but I don’t even know what that is? Then King set down and
[Fine, we will teach you how to fight demon race]
[Also, father thanks to my action they lost their home I want build new home for them]
[Fine, Call the finest artist and craftsmen to build their new home]
I was surprised at Ryu-Gen suggest but I realize that he was trying to make sure we have nice place to live in future
[If it not too much I want to my home to be orphanages for all war orphans]
[Why]
[Father, I forget to tell you that she helps all the war orphans, I see even they saved from demon they still suffer from losing their families]
[What, isn’t their land lord take care of them, that was our agreement thousand years ago when first king when he created 5 great nation allies]
[I have seen myself, they not following they contract father]
[I see, then we shall take care of these who need our help after all that what our first king would do]
I started my training at academy of demon hunters, While I was training King hired peoples to take care of my little sisters and brothers, Ryu-Gen also sometime come to them and take care of them as if it was his own family.
Sometime they visit me to tell me what happened in orphanage, we got quite few new kids now, what I heard from them they are truly trouble makers but they all good kids, Oldest of them all Bayaraa takes cares them.
Few mouths past I become strongest none magic user warrior and I send to frontline few times to protect villages from demon army attack, then they start calling me goddess of battle field then when my action reach the King, he summoned me again in his room
[I heard that you become quite strong, they start call you goddess of battlefield now]
[That’s they exaggerating things]
[You proved yourself as strong warrior]
Then he walked into front of statue of first king and spoke with gently voice
[Do you know whose statue it is?]
[Yes, it’s statue of first king]
[That’s right but do you know who these four women is]
I never think about it before, Maybe his team mates?
[No, I don’t know]
[They are wife of first king, our king reserved special power from god of creation that allow him to defeat first demon king and his four wives also reserved special power too]
I was surprised that there is more than destruction energy that they use but that at moment King sense that I was confused and King look at me and spoke with gentle voice
[Have you noticed that prince Ryu-Gen poses larger magical power than normal demon hunter]
[Yes, He did have huge amount of power]
[That’s the powers of king and one who royal blood can become demi-God if we keep learning our craft]
[That’s sound wonderful]
Why did he talk about this, He already know that I am none magic user and what is there point of telling me all about it now?
[You are not magic user but you can be magic user if I give you this ring]
Then he showed me one of royal ring
[This is the ring angel give to us that source of our special power … anyone who wear this ring can use destruction energy]
Then serious look on his face appeared then spoke with serious tone
[I asked about you and my son told that he like you and he don’t mind if you are become his wife]
That’s surprising news I bow down with shock
[My king, why are you …]
[Relax, these rings belong to future queen of this nation and you proved yourself so I giving you chance to choose that … you maybe go to your family and talk to them. I will be happy if you agreed my selfish wish]
Then king set down
[By the way what was your name]
[I don’t have name]
[That’s not good I will give you name, from now on your name will be Ryu-Ryu … It’s most honorable name that only given by truly honorable warriors]
After he give me a name, he smiled at me
[I want to tell one more thing, I heard demon king is summoned from other world second time, so my son will need your help in future … now you can go]
Moment he says that he looked sad for moment and he say to self that time
[I hope we can defeat him like first king]
Then I go to orphanage first time to talk about proposal of king then I saw happy little orphanage that called prince Ryu-Gen’s orphanage, children of orphanage love Ryu-Gen. Specially Alima
[Big bro, look I am made a pie using apples, do you want to eat]
[Yes, why not]
[I see she like you huh]
When I approach at him, he was talking to Alima and both of them look at me, Alima happily smiled at me
[Big sis we got castle as for our new home]
Then I see huge castle right front of me that my family can live, I cried with happy tiers, I can’t believe that was real
[I am home]
[Welcome home, Ryu-Ryu]
[So, you know that I have name now]
Ryu-Gen look happy at me and come at my direction
[You meet father, right … he asked me that if I to want marry to you or something like that and he also tells that he wants give honorable name of “Ryu-Ryu” to you too]
Oh, His father wants him to marry me now? But Why isn’t that I am just commoner from another country to them or that isn’t the case anymore
[Then what did you say?]
[I say why not, after all I like you lot]
Then few months later Ryu-Gen and I engaged each other; entire orphanage celebrate our engagement.
I know my story begin with sadness but now I find happiness least at the moment, Alima come to me
[I hear that you and big bro got engaged … also hear that king of this got four wives so I got chance]
[What are you talking about?]
[Like first king got four wives and these wives were warrior, historian, Baker and elf back in these day … Ryu-Gen will have these four too]
She looked happy, yep she looks so happy compare that that once I found in middle of burning village, she really looks happy
[Got it, big sis]
[Yeah, I got it]
That day we celebrate and there was that day was coming … but none of us know but was about to happen to our beloved home.
That day festival of allied force of 5 great nation was about to happened; allied force created by first king but this year everything is different, New demon king just was planning something

[That doesn’t matter propose of these attacks is make these annoying demon hunters busy … more ever call all the leader of four great nation, that festival day … we will crush that big city of demon hunters]
Yes, Demon king very good at manipulating people just trick all the leader of four great nation to on his side and plan to all out attack and destroy whole kingdom of Ryu that day
