The beginning of the end

Malik Mangkur had spent many years in her political unification of the New Ilkhurist Malikate in the southern Erigiriesh, putting down small rebellions by petty nobles who believed they had stronger claims to the throne and other such inconveniences. She would spend many a night in the small town of Alayashuranushir and staring across at the Republic her father had spent so many years of his life trying to rid the world of. The idea that the people who had ordered the death of her father, who despite their conflicts she had still loved, where living in such grandeur and splendour that the great Kings of Urudik, Adrahasis and Inazu, would look upon them with envy.
Reports would filter in periodically about the Republics failures to fully occupy and subjugate the city of Enkidu, with many parts of the city in open rebellion and frequent please from the citizens for Kisuran to come and put their rightful king, Addrahsis, back on the cities throne. The 19 year old had been living in palaces and manor houses all across Kisuran, frequently pestering the royal court to invade his lands and put him back where he belonged. Addrahasis had proven himself as a loyal vassal to Mangkur with him being extremely adept in the art of financing and record keeping as well as being a master of sword fighting. 
The Malik and Addrahsis would grown closer over the years, with Mangkur being his senior by 4 years, she would privately promise that in exchange for getting his throne they would be married to join the houses of Enkidu and Ilu and thus cement her children’s claims over whole of the eastern Erigiresh. He would agree after minor protest and the wedding would take place in Kisuran in front of the banners of both houses to large celebrations of the adoring public. As with her father the same celebrations would be performed in Yianushir so that their union was deemed holy by both Churches of Ilkhur. Many in Enkidu also celebrated the news as they now knew that the southern armies where going to vanquish their invaders and deliver them their rightful Rashur.
