Rana Reim
(735-...)
Even in his youth, Olivius Lapis Reim, besides all his numerous talents, was famous for his courage and combat skills. Despite this, when his armies clashed with enemy forces, he never took part in armed clashes himself, believing that such behavior was not wise for an emperor. Nevertheless, there were episodes in his life when he had to risk his life – all because of his ambitious and adventurous heart.
This trait in the emperor's behavior once led him to an absurd idea – when he and the detachment of personal guards accompanying him encountered a group of Alivar warriors, Olivius offered the strongest of them to fight in a fair duel, one on one. They traveled through the expanses of the empire, they had official permission for this and did not threaten the peace and order of the country, however, they still looked down on those around them. The emperor, traveling incognito at that time, like a playful child, wanted to teach them a lesson.
His challenge was accepted by a warrior named Sarnai. The weapon of the half-dragoness was a two-handed sword, and the emperor held his favorite paired blade. Despite the pleas of the guards to give up the duel, Olivius did not back down and won. The trophies of this battle were a huge scar on the torso of the winner and on his face – traces of the heavy sword and sharp claws, respectively. In addition, he acquired a loyal servant in the person of Sarnai – the half-dragoness herself asked the ruler of the empire to allow her to serve him. Perhaps the emperor knew about this feature of the behavior of Alivar warriors and it was for this reason that he proposed a duel? Only he himself can know about this.
Sarnai felt a strong attraction to her master and wanted to have children with him, but she always kept her desires to herself and did not allow her emotions to harm Olivius's reputation in any way. He, in turn, simply observed her for a long time, without paying much attention to this, but one day interest and desire took over him, and since Sarnai performed the duties of his bodyguard, Olivius saw her even more often than his own wife. Ultimately, their intimacy led to the birth of Rana Reim, daughter of the Emperor of the Reimean Empire and an Alivar warrior.
The life of the illegitimate girl was unenviable; she could not only claim the imperial throne but also was subjected to ridicule and contempt from the elite of the empire. At twenty years old, she decided to go to Alivar and, without asking anyone's permission, left the empire. Her further fate remains unknown.
