Gasping out Celesti felt her a jump start in her chest. As if she had been drowning and was suddenly pulled back up. Forcing the water out of her lungs before the feeling of hair burned her lungs. Coughing she sat up pressing her hands against her chest as she felt the sticky sweat on her forehead and neck. Breathing heavily she turned to the drawn windows to see the sky painted in gold crimson color. The sun was setting.
How long had she been knocked out?
Wincing she felt the burn in her chest. Looking around her room she stood up on shaky legs. Taking a shaw she draped it around herself. Weakly walked snuck out of the room to the one place that would bring her some peace at that moment.
Letting out a breathe Sirius stared up silently at the tree standing in the middle of the garden. A deep frown placed on his face. His hand still clenched in a fist as his brother stood next to him. His eyes staring down at Sirius' clenched fists before sighing.
"It's not your fault," Rigel muttered turning away to gaze up at the sky.
"I should have gotten to her."
"The pillars would have broke and bring more chaos." Rigel clenched his hand over his sword. Hearing the subtle sound Rigel turned frowning as a figure emerged from the corner.
"Your highnesses." The blood crimson knight spoke out giving the two a bow before walking closer. With a deep look in his eyes, Sirius half turned his head over his shoulder. Giving the knight the subtlest nod.
"Is the princess alright?"
Narrowing his eyes Rigel turned to the knight with a rage in his eyes.
"Why? Will, your beloved little emperor not want my sister anymore after what you've seen?"
With wide eyes, the Bloody Crimson knight lifted his hands up.
"No, I meant no offense."
"Rigel," Sirius spoke out letting out a small sigh. Closing his eyes briefly as a small breeze passed them. In that moment the knight couldn't help but feel at awe of the Celestia crown prince. The wind gentle brushed through his silky long silver hair. His face was smooth and had some delicate feeling to it.
The crown prince reminded the knight of all those beautiful mythical beings he had only heard of in children stories.
His eyes remained glued on the crown prince as he felt a flutter in his chest. A small blush overcoming his cheeks.
Flinching he was brought back as the second prince stepped forward slightly covering his older brother with his broad shoulder. A heavy glare in his face as he appeared like a feriousus beast.
"Your name?" Sirius muttered out opening his eyes slightly turning to the knight.
Jumping slightly the bloody crimson knight felt an uncomfortable feeling being gazed at with those silver eyes.
"Ah, yes. My name is Juvel."
"Juvel?"
Sirius questioned with a frown on his face turning to face the knight.
"That name does not originate from the Soleil. Am I correct saying so?"
With a small smile Juvel looked down at the ground almost as if being ashamed.
"No,its not. My mother originates from the Amethyst kingdom."
With wide eyes both princes turned to the embarrased knight.
"The Amethyst kingdom? That kingdom lives almost secluded. Their kingdom is said to stand in the cliffs of the Aquarius ocean. You don't appear like a Amethyst citizen.How did you manage to come here?" Rigel spoke out in suspicious. Staying silent for a moment Juvel gazed down at his gloved hands silently slipping off his right glove.
"My mother long ago was sent to the Soleil emperor as an offering to the old emperor. She was still very young and the emperor had over one hundred concubines and fifty consorts. She lived in section from her kingdom. It wasn't until she meet meet someone she wasn't suppose to that she was truly happy in that cold place."
It was Sirius' eyes who turned in realization as the knight ungloved his hand to show the marking seal that decorated the back of his hand. A silver band with a Amethyst crystal sat on his ring finger.
"The girl you speak of, she lived in the Soleil empire under seclusion till she was found pregnant with another man's seed. Returned to her kingdom without her son. The princess Juvella of Amethyst."
"Your the late son of the princess Juvella and the late second Soleil prince. Prince Lucius."
