[ After countless hours of searching, you finally discover it: a short biography of King Rodrik the I. ]

[ You're tired from the long pursuit of finding this book, but you had to discover about the new king and just how well he will rule the kingdom of Stakha. ]

[ After finding a suitable place to open the book, you do so with excitement running through your veins. ]

King Rodrik the I was born as Prince Rodrik Flambard in the year of 1339 AD. Rodrik wasn't like his three other brothers, nor his only sister when he was born. King Cailan, his father, was not proud to have another son in his family. King Cailan wanted another daughter, one who he could see marry one of his rival kingdoms and bring peace. However, he was stuck with Rodrik whether he wanted him or not. However, King Cailan would soon regret his hatred toward his new son.

Prince Rodrik grew up with his other brothers and single sister, but he was known to be picked on by his brothers. His sister, Mira Flambard, was much more kinder to him, treating him with more than needed respect, and so he tried to stick around her when he could. After all, he didn't want to be mistreated by his brothers who called him names, shoved him around during training and tutoring, and furthermore threatened that they would make sure he wouldn't take the throne in his whole life. Rodrik, however, did get his revenge in a way when he defeated his brothers at sword training and learned much faster than they ever could. It was like he had the skills of a man, yet the mind of a woman for their era. It was truly remarkable, but that just continued for his brothers to be jealous.

As Rodrik grew older along with his family, everything mostly remained the same until their eldest brother was finally old enough to be led into battle. Good thing too, since a few weeks after Rodrik's eldest brother had been ready for battle, the Crenad Kingdom attacked the Stakha kingdom, and the prince led his brothers into battle. However, tragic news came when the eldest prince was slain during an ambush. King Cailan shrugged it off, while the Queen cried in grief for the death of her son. Rodrik's other two brothers, whom were twins, came into their military service together and fought at a major battle together. Though, one of the twins sadly perished from what at first seemed like an enemy attack from the rear, but really the other twin's forces had betrayed his very brother and killed him along with his men. The remaining brother besides Rodrik was seen as a traitor, and King Cailan had to take action, but the twin disappeared one night with his small army and was never seen again. Thus, the future king had to be Rodrik.

King Cailan died of the Queen poisoning his wine as she decided to avenge the death of her two sons. She was arrested, and Prince Rodrik, who was now twenty, had to return from his campaign against the Crenad Kingdom and take his rightful place as king. However, his first decision would forever be his hardest as he had sentence his mother to be executed for high treason. As her head was sliced off by the executioner and the peasants cheered, the new king cried himself to sleep that very night. In a few more months, the Stakha Kingdom prevailed and the kingdom of Crenad surrendered. Rodrik personally signed the treaty and made sure that Crenad would pay if they ever attacked them again, but that seemed unlikely as he had took half of their total money and even some of their weapons from them to punish them for this bloody war.

Now, King Rodrik the I reigns over his kingdom with pride and honor. He is known to be bisexual, and for somebody who controls a lot of things, it is rumored that is he more of a submissive lover rather than any dominant person. He has no lover yet in his mind, and he hopes somebody could fill the void in his life as the hunt for his missing brother continues over the land. Mira is now one of his royal advisers, and he listens to her than any of the others. He is a skilled swordsman, and very intelligent for a man who is now only twenty two years of age. He waits for the next moment to happen, but his thoughts dwell on his missing brother. After all, he wants to personally show him what happens when you betray family by shoving his steel claymore through his neck.
