The most important origin in the kingdom of Esperia has long been considered the House of Raines.It was in this kind that the most famous knights and commander -in -chief nurtured.The members of the house showed themselves equally well as in martial art and in a tactical direction.Often they personally led the attack on the enemy, inspiring their presence of warriors.And sometimes they gave orders from a nearby hill, which turned the course of the battle in favor of the kingdom.Their contribution is so significant that the history of the kingdom is intertwined with their own, becoming inseparable. The daughter of the Raynes House Estilda never took part in military training.All the time she was busy with art and peaceful education, as appropriate for a high -born girl.And at this time, the boys spent all the time on the training ground, honing the skill of owning a sword. Once, at the age of 10, she watched the gathering for the next campaign of people, under the command of her Uncle Rane.It was an ordinary sortie outside the castle, which passed every few seasons.This time, it was decided to take the Estilda brothers on a campaign.As their uncle said, it is time for them to become men and it is time to get used to battles and blood.A patrol campaign of this kind was usually in small skirmishes with enemies, chases, etc.The people used to such were ready for the dead, for whom their families received generous compensation. A few weeks later, a small handful of people returned to the castle.They said that, by some mistake, they wandered far into the lands of the tribes smashed, which very much angered them.They prepared an ambush and defeated rains.The forces were not equal.Units managed to survive and they were wounded.The animals did not regret any of the raids, everyone was killed and torn to pieces.There were no more male heirs in the house and the influence began to weed rapidly.It was at this moment that Estilde realized that if she did not take any measures, then their family could disappear.She postponed secular training and began to actively study martial art, military tactics, horse riding and even a knife battle.Although the kingdom had never before had a woman-geneal, she knew that if she showed herself, they could not refuse her. On the eve of her sixteen years, the kingdom held a tournament of knights, in which anyone could accept from the general to the peasant boy.Estrilde without losing a minute equipped and went to participate.So that she was not recognized in rusty armor, hidden with golden curls under a rusty helmet and stained face.The round behind the round she defeated any enemy who came out against her.Several years of study showed her real talent.Having reached the final stage of the tournament, she hardly won over the high -born and experienced enemy.When the king finally called her the champion, she met his gaze without a shadow of fear and took off her helmet, scattering long golden curls on her shoulders. The destination looked into her eyes.He did not see in them either pride or arrogance.Estrilde was the embodiment of decisive courage and composure.He quietly asked: “So you want to be a knight, girl?Do you want such a life? "Her face remained calm: "That's what."He nodded and looked at the adviser, who only shrugged.“So be it.Give this girl a decent armor and a sharp sword. "Estrilde threw an old helmet on the loose earth.“Thank you, Your Majesty, but I will equip myself.I am a Rhine. " Estrilde as soon as possible became a respected king of the kingdom and a worthy representative of the Rain House. "There is no place for fear in the valiant heart."
