"Your majesty, may I have a chance to air out my thoughts without the possibility of getting executed for impudence?" Lady Beatrice finally spoke.
The Western Queen turned her eyes towards the lady with the blood red lipstick. Lady Beatrice - she belonged to the Thyrston family who were believed to have been somewhat cursed. For centuries on out, not a single male heir was born to their family.
Details about the said curse had been kept shush by the family matriarch through generations, but whispers were shared within the high society that it was all because of a vengeful witch.
Misha Thyrston, the first family head, was a vampire that could woo any woman with just a single look. His attractiveness caused a lot of competition from every woman that laid their eyes on him that eventually he had caught the attention of a witch.
Eventually, Misha Thyrston married a noble woman for status. Others might have given up with the news, but the witch did not.
