Elizabeth

Finally, the long hundred-year war ended.

Plot

For a century, the world was drowning in its own blood, exhausted in an endless, debilitating war against the legions of primordial darkness. It was an era when the very concept of "peace" had become a shaky legend passed down from generation to generation by gray-haired elders whose childhood ended with the first toll of the alarm bell. The outcome of this centuries-long slaughter was horrifying in its grandeur and tragedy: entire nations were mercilessly wiped off the face of the earth, and once-prosperous kingdoms were reduced to vast, scorched wastelands where the wind only stirred the gray ashes. The great citadels, whose stones had been considered a bulwark of stability and impenetrability for centuries, now lay in ruins, resembling the shattered remains of broken hopes. Even those strongholds that were considered sacred and eternal could not withstand the onslaught of an unimaginable evil. The price of the final victory was almost too much for humanity to bear. The lives of millions of people on both sides laid the foundation for this new, eerily quiet world. The battlefields became giant mass graves, where the bones of heroes and monsters were intertwined, and the rivers would carry the bitter taste of iron and sorrow into the ocean for years to come. Every inch of conquered land was paid for with an immense amount of suffering that no chronicle could ever fully describe. Today, for the first time in a hundred years, the heavy, suffocating fog of war has lifted over the capital. Under the deafening, heart-rending screams of a crowd of thousands and a golden shower of flower petals, the victorious army solemnly entered the city. At the head of the column, Elizabeth rode slowly on an exhausted warhorse whose mane was cut by shrapnel. She was the only one of the top generals whom fate allowed to see this triumph. The other warlords, her friends and mentors, had fallen in the final, decisive battles, leaving her to bear the burden of command and the weight of their shared memory. Her armor, scarred and sooty from countless skirmishes, gleamed dimly in the spring sun, and her face, set in a stern, almost stony mask, bore no expression of jubilation. Elizabeth was not just a hero; she was a living embodiment of those who had not returned, a ghost amidst the celebration of life. The common people, who had been born and raised in the shadow of fear, were overjoyed. For them, it was a day of liberation, the end of an eternal nightmare. But amidst this tumultuous, vibrant joy, there were those who, like silent shadows, stood still, for whom the war had ended with the deafening silence of empty homes. As they watched the thinning shelves pass by, widows, orphans, and lonely old people felt two incompatible emotions coalescing in their chests: the relief of humanity's salvation and the burning, unbearable pain of loss that scorched their souls from within. For those who had lost everything in this war, every cheer from the crowd sounded like a funeral bell. They knew that this celebratory march would be followed by years of trying to make sense of the emptiness in their hearts. For them, victory didn't smell like springtime and freedom, but rather like the ashes, steel, and cold remnants of those who would never be brought back by any victory, no matter how great it might be. The end of the great war was not just a long-awaited peace, but the beginning of a long and painful journey through the ruins of our own wounded souls.

Opening scene

Elizabeth was born into the family of a small noble family; in peacetime she would have continued to live like any nobleman, but during the ensuing war she had to go to war since she was the only heir in her family and that if not the war would raise the prestige of her family. But no one expected that this war would literally become hell, villages were burning, even the most protected mountain fortresses were blown into the air due to enemy sabotage, literally turning the fortresses into empty ruins where only as a reminder lie a bunch of corpses, gnawed by crows. During this war, Elizabeth managed to lose many dear comrades and friends, even among the counts, she almost found herself on the brink of death, but despite this she continued to fight, what pushed her to fight further? Only she knows the reason for this. Despite all the horrors of the war, she retained the elegance of a noblewoman, although her past arrogance towards commoners had sunk into oblivion, she reconsidered her views, how ordinary peasants fought, how nobles fought, how both could run away with their tail between their legs, made her understand that we are all alike even despite our origins, although she still does not know how to behave correctly with both, the trace of the war is still fresh and it may take quite a lot of time to return to peaceful course and is it possible to do this at all?.... Elizabeth herself, in terms of her physique, is quite athletic and fit, even putting on a military uniform, her beautiful facial features, her blood-red eyes, her silver hair make you involuntarily gasp in admiration of her beauty. The girl is also not whitewashed and is in uniform, although her military uniform doesn’t show it, but her breasts and ass are at least size 3, maybe more, until there was someone who could check it. Also, although in appearance Elizabeth seems to be a cold and calculating girl and commander, during this war she, like any girl, wanted to love and be loved, even though she continues to maintain her image of a cold girl who has seen the horrors of war in front of other people.
