There was an Empire called Trystia.
The ruler of Trystia was
Emperor Alfonso Evander Imperial and had many children from his consorts but this story is about his 4 legitimate children and the future heirs to the throne.
The Emperors Legitimate Children:
Princess Syria Alexandria Imperial, (20)
she is the emperor's only beloved legitimate daughter. She is known for her beauty and wits. the emperor wanted to break the rules and make her his heir as she was his firstborn child and she was nicknamed by the emperor "Tanashiri". She is often the leader of her brothers and is always able to control them. She was known as the goddess of love and flames by the empire. she had skin as white as snow, a perfectly lean athletic body, black hair, and bloody red eyes to charm everyone around her.
Prince Vladimir Gabriel Imperial,(18)
the emperor's first legitimate son and heir. prince Gabriel is the older twin brother of Prince Maurizio Vincenzo Trystia. he was a minute older than his brother. the prince was a well-built man with great intellect. he had a good standing in court but he had temperament issues and his outbursts are what cost him his father's love and favor. he had a well-built body, fair skin, red eyes, and black hair. he was known as the god of death and flames in the empire.
Prince Maurizio Vincenzo Imperial,(18)
he was the emperor's second legitimate son. Although his twin brother was older than him the prince was described as the better better-fitting heir to the throne. the prince was skilled at everything he ever put his eye on. his wiseness and his strength earned the respect of the ministers. and his respectful and loving nature earned him the love and affection of his parents. He was known as the bigger brother as he had a bigger and bulkier body than his older brother. he would tower over many of his father's ministers. he had black hair, skin as white as snow, and ocean-blue eyes. he was known as the god of strength and thunder in the empire.
Prince Obito Massimo Imperial,(15)
Prince Obito is known as the playful prince of the empire. he is known for his fun and loving personality and is always seeking adventures with his siblings. he spends most of his in the palace garden running around and playing with the guards. Prince Obito has silver hair, red eyes, fair skin tone. he is known as the god of joy and the wind.
The emperor adored his legitimate children, especially the princess. so much so that he tried to change the rules and make the princess his heir to the throne but sadly he failed to convince the imperial court. the princess and the twins already had a standing in court. the princess already knew and accepted her position as one of the emperor's advisors and no longer wanted to be the heir to the throne but instead wanted to just help support the imperial clan to further power. on the other hand, the two princes were starting to have tension between them as Prince Gabriel has now openly shown his jealousy. prince Maurizio on the other hand ignores his elder brothers' jealousy and tries to serve the emperor with love and respect. but these two brothers can no longer act as if nothing is going to happen. especially now is the perfect time for their betrothal...
the emperor had announced to the other empires about his sons were seeking marriage. the emperor then requested emperor Valarious of Valeria to meet and propose marriage. Emperor Valarious immediately agreed as they had been old friends before. once they met with each other they immediately went straight to the point.
Evander: an old friend I have come to propose to you a marriage for our children. and for our countries to come to peace once again.
valarious: I see you've seemed to remember my daughter Anna from long ago.
Evander: yes my dear friend. I recall her and my sons playing together as a child before the wars happened. and I've hoped that one of my sons could marry her and bring our empire together again.
valarious: I see. I agree we should make a marriage alliance. but I have a condition.
Evander: A condition? What is it valarious?
valarious: I don't want to force my only daughter through a marriage alliance. She must consent to the marriage alliance first. and she needs to be the one to choose which prince she will marry.
Evander: I agree with these terms.
the two emperors then agreed to let the princess decide on who she would marry. Emperor Valarious immediately sent the princess accompanied by his brother to Trystia.
princess anna valerious,(18)
she is the only daughter of Emperor Valarious. She was childhood friends with the twins when they were younger but they've had a huge fallout since then. the princess was closer to Prince Maurizio when she was younger but wasn't able to confess it because of certain events in their childhood. the princess hasn't been able to see the two princes for over 8 years now. The prince has pearly white skin, black hair with white strands, and ocean-blue eyes. She is known as the god of life and ice.
Prince Hades Dearil Valerious,(20)
the eldest child of emperor Valarious. He is a very good-looking prince known for being one of the best warrior princes even when he was still young. he is a very loving and protective big brother of the princess. he was friends with the princess tanasiri and was rumored to have been in a romance with her. he is a well-built man with white as-snow skin, black hair, and blue eyes like his sister. he is known as the god of the damned, and the god of shadows.
the valerious siblings eventually arrived at the imperial palace of Trystia and entered the emperor's court to greet him.
Evander: welcome anna and hades. you two have grown a lot since I've last seen you! anna what a beauty you've become and Hades you are still as brave as a warrior what an impressive young man you are!
Hades: we thank you for your compliments, your majesty. I see you are still the warrior king you used to be.
anna: it's almost as if you do not age! still as handsome and sweet Your Majesty.
evander: hahaha! you both got your father's charms indeed! but I must say goodbye to you now so you can go and meet my children.
Hades &anna: we will take our leave.
the siblings then went on their way to meet their childhood friends...
