Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Eldoria, there was a prince named Aric. He was a bastard prince because his mother was not the queen but a maid in the palace. King Edric, Aric's father, loved him dearly, but the queen and the other nobles did not. They thought Aric was not worthy of being a prince.
Aric lived in a small room in the castle, far from the royal chambers. He spent his days studying and practicing sword fighting. He was determined to prove that he was just as worthy as any other prince. Despite the cruel words and looks from the nobles, Aric never lost hope.
One day, a dark cloud covered the kingdom. News came that a fearsome dragon was terrorizing the nearby villages. King Edric sent his best knights to defeat the dragon, but none returned. The people were scared and the kingdom was in danger.
Aric knew this was his chance to prove himself. He went to his father and asked for permission to fight the dragon. At first, King Edric hesitated, fearing for his son's safety. But Aric was determined and finally, the king agreed.
With only his sword and a brave heart, Aric set out to find the dragon. He traveled through dark forests and climbed high mountains until he reached the dragon's lair. The dragon was huge and breathed fire, but Aric was not afraid. He fought bravely, using all the skills he had learned.
After a fierce battle, Aric managed to strike the dragon in its heart. The beast fell, defeated, and the kingdom was saved. Aric returned to Eldoria as a hero. The people cheered and the nobles, who once looked down on him, now praised him.
King Edric was proud of his son and declared that Aric would be the next king. The queen and the nobles could no longer deny Aric's bravery and worth. From that day on, Aric was known as the Dragon Slayer, and he ruled the kingdom with wisdom and courage.
And so, the bastard prince became the greatest king Eldoria had ever known, proving that true nobility comes from one's actions and heart, not their birth.
