Part one: What’s the story of My Heir Was In The Stable about?

My Heir Was In The Stable is an ancient drama of fortune reversal. It has 30 episodes in total. It tells that Ellara’s son was exchanged with her husband’s mistress’s son and she started her revenge after she found her own son in stable. 

Ellara saved a slave who was at the same age as her son. But they had different fates. The slave’s tongue had been cut out while her son was with his father, celebrating his 10th birthday. But something strange drew her attention. There was a flame mark on his neck which only belong to House along. By the contrast, her son didn’t have it. Ellara swallowed the blood rising in her throat and forced herself to think clearly.

Then the sound of beatings came from the stable, and that flame mark drove into her chest like a curved blade. A small figure lay curled on the ground, covered in foul-smelling mud. His mouth and nose were bleeding from the blows, but his eyes were fierce, defiant, like he was ready to take everyone down with him. He looked exactly like her father in the heat of battle when the killing rage took hold.

Ellara’s heart sank. She asked the two man to stop the hitting and kicking. Right now. One command. The years of war behind her voice dropped those stable hands to their knees before they could think. They scrambled and crawled, collapsing at her feet. 

The mute slave seized the moment, loosened his bite, crawled back into the corner, and watched Ellara with guarded eyes. She walked toward him, one step at a time. Her hand trembled as she reached out to touch his head. He swapped it away like a startled wild thing and exposed a dark red birthmark, shaped like a flame. Ellara was sure that it was the bloodline mark of House Valon. So was the boy who had lived in the stable for ten years Ellara’s son?

Part two: What are the main character of My Heir Was In The Stable?

Ellara Valen

Ellara was the only daughter in the Valen’s house. However, many years ago, she chose to leave the army and married down to Julian Ashfield who was a low-born scholar with a vast fortune in dowry. Ellara helped her husband a lot with the aspect of career and her husband rose to Royal Chancellor in the kingdom finally. 

At that time, she owned a happy family. Her husband was supported by the public while her son was also excellent in both letters and arms. Moreover, her son was named as the heir. 

But when she found the boy with the bloodline mark of House Valon, she discovered that she had been cheated for many years. The day she gave birth, she'd lost consciousness from a difficult labor. When she came to, they placed a wrinkled newborn in her arms, and told her it was her son. In fact, it was Lilian’s son and her son was swapped. 

After she found the truth, she took her son back and elaborated a revenge plan. 

Kael Valen

He was under ten years old and starved down to skin and bone. Beneath his thin rags, whip scars and frostbite wounds crisscrossed his entire body. Old injuries buried under new ones. He had been sleeping and eating in the stable with the animals for ten years.

After being taken from the stable, he was ran through hell. He didn’t flinch from pain blood or injury, weighted runs, barehanded fights against wild wolves. He endured all of it without complaint. Within a single month, he could draw a 300 pounds war bow. And he completely grasped the essence of the Valen family spear style.

Episode two

The Valen bloodline ran hot in the vein on the boy’s neck. That mark looked like living fire. Lucas, the son Ellara had raised for ten years, didn't have it. Ellara always thought he took after his father. The truth had been right in front of her the whole time: her own flesh and blood, dumped in a stable, living alongside animals for ten years. 

She pulled off her cloak and wrapped it around him, filth and stench be damned, and held him tight. He went rigid for a moment. Perhaps it was the first warmth he'd ever felt. The ferocity in his eyes dimmed, just slightly. 

Ellara asked him not to be afraid and come with her. She didn't take him to the main wing. Instead, she brought him to her private vault where she kept her personal assets and only she knew about. Then, Ellara gave him a name, Kael Valen. 

That day was Lucas's tenth birthday. The estate was packed with guests. Ellara reached out to check the back of his neck, but he instinctively pulled away and ran straight into the arms of Lilian, the healer. She was Julian's childhood friend from the same village, taken in after her family fell on hard times. 

Julian was standing beside Lilian, straightening the hairpin on her head as if no one else existed. His eyes were soft in a way she had never once seen in ten years of marriage. She looked at Lucas, at his almond-shaped eyes, identical to Lilian's, and the hand resting on her sword hilt began to shake.

Episode three

Suddenly, Lucas shouted “Mama, I want that one!” Lucas was pointing at the birthday cake. But he wasn't talking to Ellara. He was talking to Lillian. Lillian shot Ellara a timid glance, then said softly, “Young master, your lady mother is right here. Mind your manners.” 

But her hands were already cutting the cake and lifting it to his lips. Lucas swallowed it in one bite and beamed. He said that Lillian's the only one who actually cared about him, unlike some people who always forced him to train with the sword. Hearing this, Ellara knew what Lucas was talking about. To give him a fighting chance among the nobility, she had hired the finest tutors money could buy for both scholarship and combat and driven him hard day and night. 

Julian laughed and smoothed things over. As he spoke, he casually reached over and smoothed out a crease on Lillian's collar. Practiced, effortless, like he'd done it a thousand times. A sharp-eyed guest nearby made a joke of it. He said that the chancellor was generous and that's quite the attention for a household employee. Julian didn't even blink. He explained that they were from the same village, and, of course, he looked out for her. 

Lucas picked up the first slice of birthday cake. He didn't give it to Ellara, the woman who'd carried him for nine months. He didn't give it to Julian either. He took it carefully with both hands and handed it to Lillian. Lucas said that Lillian's always been delicate and she needed the best piece. 

Lillian put on her most flustered, grateful expression. But the corner of her eye slid toward Ellara, sharp with something that looked very much like a dare. Lillian said that it was not proper. Lucas announced loudly that what he said went in this house.

Part four: Conclusion

For the past ten years, Ellara has lived in the lies her husband has spun, and in the elaborate deception devised by the woman named "Lillian". She provided her enemy's son with luxurious food and clothing, while her own bloodline was starving in the stable, being whipped and growing up in filth. 

But the daughters of the Valen family never kept their heads bowed forever. It took her one month to transform a child who grew up in the stable into a true successor who could operate a three-hundred-pound war bow and master the family's ancestral martial arts. With a meticulously planned counterattack, she allowed all those who had mistreated the mother and son to witness firsthand what it means to return as a king. 

My Heir Was In The Stable has been released on the ShortMax collection. It consists of thirty episodes, each of which is thrilling and captivating.
