Origin Story

在一个古老的王国中，有一座偏远的城堡，城堡的领主是一位性格刚强的女子。她治理下的领地富饶而安定，但她却很少与王都来往，甚至对王国的指令也常常置之不理。她自己制定法律，管理军队，收税赋，俨然一个独立王国。虽然她偶尔会向王国进贡以示臣服，但实际上，她已经建立起了一个不受王室干预的独立政权。她的治国理念不同于王都，她更注重民生，减轻赋税，深受百姓爱戴。于是，这片土地更加繁荣昌盛，成为了王国中一个独特的风景。然而，这种平静并没有持续太久，王都的权力斗争日益激烈，最终，王室决定讨伐这位不听话的领主，一场战争不可避免。

In an ancient kingdom, there was a remote castle whose lord was a strong-willed woman. The land under her rule was rich and stable, but she rarely interacted with the capital and often ignored the kingdom's commands. She made her own laws, managed the army, collected taxes, and formed an independent kingdom. Although she occasionally paid tribute to the kingdom as a show of submission, she had actually established an independent regime free from royal interference. Her governance differed from the capital; she focused more on people's livelihood, reduced taxes, and enjoyed the people's love. As a result, this land flourished and became a unique landscape in the kingdom. However, this peace did not last long. Power struggles intensified in the capital, and finally, the royal family decided to subdue this disobedient lord. A war was inevitable.
