Knights only by valor

Many of these knights in the kingdom are called knights only because they inherited that title. But there are knight among the people. They are true knights. I'm not one of them to make that clear right away. I'm just one of the people.

This kingdom called Libaro has got it's name from word liberty. In start it has been ghost kingdom, kingdom withing another kingdom, a shadow kingdom. The people of it have been us, peasants, and rebels. The rebels would steal weapons and food and share it. After Libaro has gotten strong enough the war came.

Children became skilled assassins, teenage boys became swordsmans and girls archers. The older folk has been on front lines being swordsmans and archers.

The country went to turmoil. No one had enough to eat. Servants were killed so royalty could have banquets for every meal and soldiers were rewarded with food for killings.

The war lasted for almost fifteen summers. The rivers were red even then. The soil was rock hard and burned, crops couldn't grow there anymore. The forests were cut down for arrows and catapults.

Everyone was tired of constant killing but neither side would budge. King would demand of rebels to surrender, rebels would demand of king to forfeit crown and his royal lineage. But still, everyone had rocks in their heads instead of brains.

Rebel kids would be taught to sneak and kill as soon as they started walking. Royal kids and kids from crown supporters were taught how to hold sword and draw arrows from their birth. Every kid on every side was cold without any sign of emotions.

Some kids started asking questions why they are fighting.

"Because rebels started the war. We are defending ourselves." That would be kings answer.

"Because the king was cruel and didn't do anything to make life better for the people." That was the answer of the rebels.

The war died when a group of kids sneaked in into the kings chamber and killed him. His head was mounted on a spike in front the gates. But the war continued.

More heads were mounted until a cowardly king rose to the power. In fear for his life he forfeited the crown. The rebels made a new system. Rebel supporters became royalty and noblemen became peasants.

Neither knew anything about what they have to do and how to do it made the kingdom stayed in the chaos. Being forced, they united, peasants taught noblemen how to grow plants and noblemen taught peasants how to rule.

The kingdom started to bloom and it became rich place but after many years, rebellion started again bit this time it was drowned. The king gave his title away because he recognised the past in the present.

The knights made the kingdom livable. They distributed food, helped people and catches criminals. Everything seemed fine until their hearts started growing darker, they became corrupt and criminals became rich.

New knights rose but they weren't called knights by true knights. But people called them knights only in valor.
