# Who is the Most Beautiful woman in the world ?

Queen Heliosia, was a woman of captivating beauty and unmatched intelligence. However at the 4th year of her reign she found herself consumed by an dark desire.

By 264 BCE, Fueled by a fear of being surpassed in beauty, she commanded her knights to embark on a harrowing quest—to eliminate any woman whom she deemed more beautiful than herself. This macabre directive led to a ruthless campaign, as the queen's enforcers hunted down and executed 100 women across the kingdom.

Queen Heliosia's paranoia fueled an atmosphere of fear and dread. Families mourned the loss of daughters, sisters, and wives, while the kingdom's nobility lived in constant apprehension.

Heliosia's rule transformed into a reign of terror, as her relentless pursuit of physical perfection plunged the north into a dark era.

# Conquest of the East Sea

By 264 BCE, Heliosia led her army eastward, leaving a trail of conquered territories in her wake. The city of Kabyle fell under Queen Heliosia's rule, becoming a testament to her military prowess and unyielding determination. As the queen's army pressed onward, several other ancient Amazon cities succumbed to her might.

Oescus, Strategically positioned along the Danube River, Oescus, a thriving city with a rich history, succumbed to the advancing forces of Queen Heliosia. Nicomedia, a city known for its cultural vibrancy, became a vital center under Heliosia's rule. Serdiopolis, found itself subject to the queen's vision of unifying the Amazonian lands under her rule.

Pautalia, too, experienced the relentless march of Heliosia's forces. The city's surrender marked another milestone in the queen's conquest, solidifying her grip on the eastern regions of the kingdom.

As Queen Heliosia's army advanced eastward, Marcianopolis, a hub of trade and commerce, faced the inevitability of submission. The East Sea, once a distant horizon, now lay within the grasp of Queen Heliosia's kingdom.

# Zdravka

The conquest reshaped the geopolitical landscape, Yet, as the queen's dominion expanded, so too did the shadows of her oppressive reign, casting a foreboding pall over the lands she sought to conquer. When a girl named as Zdravka reached the age of 12 her parents were told by a knight to exile her because she will die if Heliosia ever discover her.

Zdravka faced the formidable challenges of survival with unwavering resilience. Her indomitable spirit guided her to seek refuge among the inhabitants of the western lands, Zdravka, fueled by her commitment to justice, emerged as a beacon of hope for the oppressed.

She became the catalyst for an uprising against Queen Heliosia's oppressive rule. The rebellion, however, faced insurmountable odds and ultimately failed. Heliosia, vengeful and determined, captured Zdravka, intending to make her pay for her role in the resistance. Yet, in a stroke of cunning brilliance, Zdravka managed to escape just moments before Heliosia could execute her publicly.

Desperate and on the run, Zdravka embarked on a perilous journey that led her to the court of Agron of Illyria, the second king of the Ardiaean Kingdom. Moved by Zdravka's words, Agron offered his assistance with a condition — Zdravka must marry his son, Pinnes, ensuring a strategic alliance between the two kingdoms.

However, on the battlefield, Zdravka fell victim to Heliosia's relentless pursuit. Pinnes was captured and became a pawn in Heliosia's merciless game.

In the aftermath of the battle, with Pinnes held captive, the tides of fortune shifted. Heliosia, recognizing the strategic value of her prisoner, entertained the notion of negotiation. Pinnes's release in exchange for a substantial trade of gold and weapons to bolster Heliosia's kingdom.

Pinnes returned to the Ardiaean Kingdom defeated, he married Triteuta, and officially succeeded his father as king in 230 BCE, but the Ardiaean kingdom was ruled by Agron's second wife, Queen Teuta.

# Illyrian War's

Rome, concerned about maintaining stability and protecting trade routes between Magna Graecia and Graecia Makedonika, dispatched delegates to mediate the situation. The delicate balance unraveled when a disagreement between Queen Teuta and Rome's ambassadors escalated into hostilities. In response, Teuta ordered the assassinations of the Roman delegates, igniting the First Illyrian War in 229 BCE.

Teuta, faced with the might of the Roman Republic, ultimately surrendered and accepted Rome's peace terms. The conditions of the peace settlement included Teuta's abdication and the reinstatement of Pinnes to the throne of the Ardiaean Kingdom.

However, Pinnes's reign was short-lived and tumultuous. The throne slipped from his grasp when Demetrius of Pharos married Triteuta, declared himself king, and, in blatant defiance of the treaty with Rome, aligned Illyria with Rome's long-term enemy, Makedonia. The Second Roman-Illyrian War erupted in 219 BCE when Rome sent an army to quell the growing instability in Illyria.

Queen Heliosia, recognizing an opportunity to assert her dominance and expand her influence, strategically aligned herself with one of the factions involved in the war. Pinnes's untimely death in 217 BCE at the age of 35 marked the end of his short-lived reign, leaving the Ardiaean Kingdom in a precarious position.

# Second Rebellion

Queen Heliosia, astutely recognizing the formidable might of Rome, dispatched messengers to the powerful republic, seeking an alliance and proposing the installment of a king in her kingdom. However, her diplomatic overtures were met with a cold indifference from Rome, and her request for a king were left unanswered.

Undeterred by Rome's apparent disinterest, Heliosia found herself at the helm of a second rebellion. This time, the rebellion gained momentum, and in a dramatic turn of events, Queen Heliosia met her death by the hands of the people in 216 BCE at the age of 70.

The echoes of her reign, marked by conquests and cruelty, lingered in the collective memory of the people as they sought to rebuild and redefine their future without the shadow of Heliosia's dominion looming over them.

The scars of her oppressive rule lingered in the scars of the kingdom, shaping its political landscape for years to come. Some saw her as a ruthless tyrant, while others admired her strategic brilliance.

Bards and artists composed ballads and created artworks that captured the dichotomy of her character. Songs narrated tales of her beauty and intelligence juxtaposed with the cruelty that marked her reign.

Heliosia's death, especially at the rare age of 70 in an era where longevity was uncommon, birthed a plethora of legends and folklore. Many believed that she possessed supernatural powers, and tales of her being a witch or a sorceress proliferated. The most enduring legend was that of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a tale inspired by the dark and enigmatic aspects of Heliosia's life.
