scene: at a large grand pink and white themed room.
a blonde haired girl murmur in her sleep as she heard the sound of birds chirping in the windows and the pitter patter of a pair of feet walking around the room. she grab a nearest pillow and cover her face with it only to get snatch back making him groan "10 more minute Vylad!".
the person who snatched the pillow was an albino butler "your highness...the birds are chirping and the morning bell had tolled loudly, it's better if you wake up and start your day....brat" he ended smugly only to have a throwing knife throws at him which he easily avoid.
the blonde haired royalty stand up and yawn, opening her eyes to the world showing the bright blue eyes, her appearance are similar to the evil sorceress from far north though the butler wouldn't know. Said girl however realised that as she is currently processing a certain misguided lady's memory and sigh "schedule me a meeting with high priestess Esmeralda after this...I need to talk to her about something".
The butler bowed with a hand on his chest "yes milady...for now you may head to the bathroom as I have prepared your bath earlier, Eva is waiting for you inside and I will prepare your dress, may I ask what colour you prefer today?"
Princess Irene hummed in thought as she stand up, "purple...I want purple for today" she decide as she walked to the bathroom. 20 minutes later the she was walking at the courtyard heading to a large building semi-detached to the main palace. "High priestess Esmeralda?" she shouted unsurely as she enters the semi dark library. a rustle can be heard in a dark alcove on her left and a beautiful raven haired lady wearing a purple robe that fits her body showing her hourglass curve with a maroon shawl, glide out with a serene face.
"I see that one of your fragment died and return to you before you even search for her" the high priestess Esmeralda said with a soft airy voice, holding Irene's right hand and checking her pulse. "what kind of person was your fragment my dear?" she asked the princess while guiding her to sit on one of the chair not far from them.
Irene's sigh at this and answered "the complete opposite of me..well originalea me..unlike my other fragment that had different name and hairs..she look exactly like me..just evil" she scrunched her forehead before correcting herself "no not exactly evil..just misguided and manipulated by her own hatred and also by the evil sorceress Nimueh". Esmeralda sigh heavily at this as if she just heard a very depressing news.
"That Nimueh...that is so like her to manipulate someone into doing bad thing for the sake of destroying a place..I wonder what went wrong in her life that she decided to misguide people" Esmeralda said as she comb through Irene's soft blonde hair. she hums a tune making Irene closes her eyes and relaxed. A soft glow envelop the princess as the high priestess keep humming before stopped glowing after 5 minutes. "there...I had ease yoyr fragment troubled mind..it good thing that she change last minute which I'm guessing what had caused her to kill herself" she pats the princess head making her giggled slightly.
"Thank You Lady Esmeralda" Irene hug her as the tension that she had been feeling since she awoken went away. Esmeralda just smiled softly and pat her back "no need to thank me...go and do your duty as princess Lady Irene...and dont forget to come later evening for your lesson".
Irene nodded and thanked her again before heading out. 'im not the evil Irene but I can no longer considered myself the same Lady Irene a sorceress princess of Solar Gardenia...I'm a new Irene now...just like I always am everytime I combined with my fragment' Irene thought as she looks up at the clear sky. She headed to the throne room where her parents sat reading a scroll intently. She cleared her throat and curtsy as her parents turn to face her "I have something to tell you father, mother".
Her parents look at each other and nod, "well then let's go to the family room" his father instructed as they stand up. As they arrived and setrled down at the family room Princess Irene told her parents about the evil sorceress Irene and how she was one of her fragment. She also told them of her(evil Irene) past and betrayal and how she can't kill the only brother that loves her and her childhood friend which ended up how she drank poison to kill herself. While all this is happening her mother cried and hug her as she heard the story, the lovable queen loves all her daughter's fragment despite not knowing them well because no matter what they are a part of her own originalea daughter and hearing how the former evil Irene got hurt and ended up evil breaks her heart but relieved that she ended up realising what she did was wrong. The king and Queen thanked Irene for telling them it and advise her to tell then if she feels sad or disappointed for whatever reason so that they can help her cheer up and that they did not mind the former fragment evil past as they still loves her no matter what. This warmed Irene's heart and she ended up break down crying as all the feeling of regret, guilt, helplessness and depression that she felt combine with the fear of her Originalea parents will reject her due to the past mistake that she(the evil Irene her) had done slowly fading. slow because she still need the acceptance from her older brother king of Luvix and childhood friend plus crush to completely vanish the feeling.
After all that drama she ended up telling her butler Vylad and her close friend Alexis, the only knightwoman of the kingdom about it too. The both of them are happy and acceptance when she told them, assuring her that they don't care of her fragment past and that they still love you or in Vylad word "you are still the brat of princess that I somehow don't mind serving" (author: tsundere much?) and spent her day doing her princess duty, magic lessons with the high priestess and playing with the children in their town's park. Acting like her usual bright and cheerful self.
2 months later,
The kingdom of Luvix had recovered after the late evil sorceress had destroy it, though not completely as there is still some building that are havent been recovered and the fact that they are still grieving for their love ones that had died on the attack. The kingdom was overall peaceful again and since The King Quinn take the throne, changes had been made such as the acceptance of magic in the kingdom. Many sorcerer and sorceress including some druids that had settled down in the kingdom, the local people of Luvix had also understand the beauty and usefullness of magic except for some narrowed minded people. In the towns, many sorcerers perform magic acts to show the wonder of magic, an academy are also established to teach young sorcerer and sorceress to control or learn magic, Terrence Reinsworth completely take over his father titles as a Duke and also had earn another positions as the minister of magic- the one who handles the sorcerer populations under the king- and become more well respected than before. The kingdom turns out well and many are happy except for the young king and duke as they still grieve the lost of their sister and friend.
"My King?" a timid and thin messenger called out the king who is lost in thought hesitantly making said king flinches in surprise which in turn cause the messenger to flinch back and stutter "I-I am s-sorry for breaking you out of-of your thought Sire..b-but I got an invitation from the kingdom of Ares for you S-sire" holding out a scroll with the familiar dragon insignia of the Ares Kingdom. A servant take the scroll and give it to King Quinn who immediately opened and read it. Duke Terrence enters the throne room holding a scroll himself as the King was reading.
"what's that?" the young duke inquired as he approaches king Quinn casually as he lean over to read the scroll.
"An invitation, apparently King Heracles is holding a ball to celebrate his second prince come-of-age" King Quinn told him offhandedly as he was used to his closes friend's antics.
"Then we should think of a gift for the second prince..wouldn't want to come to the ball empty-handed now do we" Terrence chuckled and toss him the scroll he was holding carelessly to the king's lap "today's report...sire" he informed with a sarcastic tone in the end.
Quinn just set the invitation aside and opened the report, like I said, he was used to his friend's antics. "I think we should gifted him that dragon hilt sword that our weapon smith had made the other day, it was quite the master piece..if we just keep it with us it will only serve as decoration besides the Ares Kingdom crest is a dragon" he mumbled loud enough for Terrence to hears. "then...Lou..please go and have our woodcrafter made a beautiful box to put the sword in and then to the weapon smith and ask them to make a suitable sheath" Terrence orders the nearest servant after hearing king Quinn word. "I'm going to choose a suitable clothes for the ball...when do we depart sire?" he asked while heading to the door.
"Tomorrow, Ren" king Quinn answered, not looking up from the report. "oh, Ian...I forgot about you..how about you tell Sir Lucas and his team that they will be joining us to Ares Kingdom" he said, noticing that the messeger, Ian was still standing, waiting to be dissmissed. Hearing his order the messenger bowed to the king and excuse himself before going out of the throne room to the knights training area to send the kings news to Sir Lucas and his team.
Meanwhile at the throne room, "should I prepare your things sire?" a voice came out behind the king's throne and he turn to see his personal manservant.
"yes yes..go..make sure the horses are fed and well enough for the long journey tomorrow" king Quinn sighed before glancing at the top window, looking at the clear sky 'I miss you my dear sister..'
