******************************************************************
QUEEN MARY II, the Queen of Scotland and KING HAMILTON, the King of United Ireland were enemies. Even though King Hamilton’s army was larger, Queen Mary used to torture him. This enmity was started by their ancestors. The reasons are unknown.
KING JULIAN GEORGE of England and Duke of Oxfordshire was a young and efficient king. His palace was The Hadrian Palace, a huge building with 366 rooms, 7 courtyards, and 5 stables. The floor of it was made of polished marble imported from Prussia.
Till the reign of King Julian, his ancestors and subjects did not enter into the problems of both kingdoms. It was because kings (and queens) of Scotland used to blackmail them to maintain silence. They also ignore the pleas of King Hamilton (and his ancestors) and thought it was a prank from them. But only until King Julian.
King Julian wanted to end the problem between the two kingdoms. He thought of saving King Hamilton. But how?? The ministers advised to go for hunting. He thought that was a good place for refreshing his mind. He took his NORTHERN FOREST ARMY(a.k.a. NFA), a battalion of 1000 soldiers, 750 horses, 10 lions and leopards, Missile Launchers (ancient), lots of guns (from China) and swords(from India) and went to UNKNOWN FOREST. They haven’t gone to there for 100 of years because of a law by his grand-grandfather, HAROLD THE YOUNG. Always the rulebreaker, King Julian went to the unknown forest. They hunted till afternoon. They returned back in the wrong direction. The direction was towards OLD EDINBURGH, the capital of Queen Mary II.
They reached the northern end of the forest. He took a binocular and looked. Through the lens, he saw the majestic city of Old Edinburgh, capital of Scotland. Even though Julian had not set foot in Old Edinburgh, he heard of it from stories and ballads. He has heard from travelers that Edinburgh was the world’s most beautiful city, better than London.
Old Edinburgh was a city full of buildings and parks and streets. The entrance of Old Edinburgh was in Failure Rift, a 25 kilometers long, 9 kilometers wide, and 23 kilometers deep area. Old Edinburgh was connected to the rest of the world with a 10-kilometer long magnificent bridge.
His ancestors wanted to invade this mighty kingdom, but they were scared of the powerful leaders of Scotland. But, King Julian wanted to fulfill his forefathers’ wish and help their ally.
Julian, accompanied by NFA, marched to GRANDCASTLE OF EDINBURGH, where Queen Mary II lived. When King Julian entered the Royal Court with his minions, King Hamilton ran towards King Julian and said, “O my friend, please help me and my dear kingdom to defeat the cruel Mary”. A deafening shout “YOU IDIOT HAM, IF YOU SPEAK ANOTHER WORD I WILL KILL YOU” came from behind Hamilton. The voice came closer and closer. The voice belonged to a beautiful lady (which was, sadly, Queen Mary II’s). Queen Mary got furious after seeing King Julian. She ordered the BAGPIPES (nickname of THE ROYAL ARMY OF KINGDOM OF SCOTLAND) to attack NFA Battalion and King Julian. Their army started a fight that went on for 6 days. Hearing about this, THE MAJESTIC ARMY OF ENGLAND AND WALES (King Julian’s Side), THE TOTAL BAGPIPES (Queen Mary’s Side) and KING HAMILTON’S ARMY (King Julian’s Side) joined the fight. During the 6th day, King Julian decided to finally end this fight. He ordered his side to fire upon the palace. Even though the army didn’t want to destroy the wonderful palace, they obeyed their leader’s order. They shot a rocket to the balcony of the palace. It fell on Queen Mary II’s body. King Julian quickly ran towards her and placed his sword near her throat. But, Queen Mary II defended & they started a duel. He cut off her long hair and once again placed his sword in her neck.
He asked her, “Queen Mary, Do you accept your defeat?”.
She didn’t respond. He asked the question again, but slowly. After a moment of silence, she replied “Yes, my Lord.” with her heads down. Then she tried to kill herself, saying she would like to die in her rule than living under someone’s order.
But, King Julian stopped her and said, “Queen Mary II of Great Scotland, you will lose your kingdom to me. Fret not, you will still be a royal member of Scotland. You will represent the Scottish Community in my court.”
After the war, King Hamilton offered his kingdom to King Julian. But he refused, saying “All these years, it was The Scots who ruled your region. For once, enjoy the riches and serve the throne.”
Hamilton was happy for the favor. “But, I am sure your descendants will sit on this throne”.
“Yes, but not in your mercy. By force alone”
Years later, this became true. The British conquered the Irish and took their land. It was because of King George’s effort, the Scotland and Ireland merged to form THE UNITED KINGDOM.
After the Victory Ceremony, King Julian proudly uttered his famous phrase,
“I CAME, I SAW, I SLAYED
VENI, VIDI, NECAVIT”

The End
