Selena
The kingdom of Ethador, lively, beautiful and fresh looking. The rivers here have the cleanest water you can find in the continent. The streets are so well kept and clean that it'll be a surprise if you ever find a candy wrapper lying around. The air is fresh and there are trees everywhere. The maidens dancing around the flower valleys with their friends and the young boys staring at them with lovely dreamy eyes, everything is perfect. In the kingdom of Ethador, everything is perfect except what happens inside the walls of the Castle.
Twenty-five years ago, King Leo XII got married to the oldest daughter of Lord Alexander Lipovetsky, Garcia Lipovetsky. The couple was considered a lovely pair with love that no one in the kingdom has seen before. Infact, even love was a word that cannot describe the emotions that they looked at each other with in their eyes. Their happiness grew even more with the birth of their first child - Prince Ilios. Prince Ilios was a werewolf (because his father was one too) and a happy child with pretty light brown hair and warm amber eyes. The family was so happy that even words cannot decipher the emotions they felt.
Disastrously, their happiness did not last very long. On a very normal and cheerful day in the Royal Family, the Prince suddenly fell ill. Nobody till this date can tell the reason behind the Prince's sudden illness. The Prince turned so weak that he could barely talk, let alone leave the bed. Then one day, the King asked to call in the castle a wizard-wolf (a name for a werewolf and wizard hybrid). The wizard-wolf examined the Prince and told the Royal family that the Prince was cursed by an unknown and powerful wizard.
Normally, with magic, one can find out who performed a spell on someone, but the Prince's case was an exception. The wizard-wolf tried several times to know who performed the spell and to reverse it, but to no avail. At last, the wizard-wolf had to perform another spell to overshadow the first one. The spell would save Prince Ilios's life by connecting him to his mate, the spell would make the Prince and his mate's soul blend in each other such that if one was hurted then the other one felt hurt too. This spell doubled Prince Ilios's power to beat the illness but it came with a condition. The condition was that the Prince had to find his mate by the time he turns Twenty-one, or else both of their souls will finish. King Leo XII and Queen Garcia agreed to perform the spell, fearing what could have happen to their son if the wizard-wolf wasn't called. The wizard-wolf performed the spell and Prince Ilios was alright again in a few days.
It is currently believed the Prince Ilios had found his mate - Princess Evelyn of Lynsessis. Princess Evelyn was said to be a kind-hearted, elegant and charming girl with long strawberry blonde hair and deep ocean blue eyes. The princess has finished her eduction an year ago and since then, her parents have been searching for her mate. Lucky for both of them that they look great together. Even though no one has seen them together yet, that is the reason why today, the Royals of Ethador are going to meet the Royals of Lynsessis.
The castle of Lynsessis fades into view as the carriage in which I'm sitting gets nearer. I open the carriage's windows and feel the gentle breeze hit my face. The breeze feels fresh and nice which awakens me from my long-journey-tiredness.
"Enjoying the wind, huh?" A voice came from besides me.
"You woke up?" I asked still looking outside.
"Yeah, had a comfortable sleep last night." He continued. "Did you sleep comfortably?"
"Yeah, by the way Aster, how much time is it going to take until the carriage stops?" I asked, turning to face Aster, the Assistant army general of Ethador.
"Just a few second now." He replied gawking ahead from the window besides him. "By the way, you look pretty today. You would look even more pretty if you let your hair down."
"Thankyou but I'm not letting my hair down." I added. "You too look quite handsome today."
"Owe it to my mom." He replied. Suddenly, the carriage stopped. "It's time to get out, Selena."
He opened the door to his side and got out before giving me a hand to get out too. I fixed the flare and slit of my black satin dress and made my way towards the two other carriages in front along with Aster.
I stood besides a carriage and opened the door to face Queen Garcia and her second child - Princess Ivy. I lended princes Ivy my hand and she got out. She muttered a sweet "Thank you, general" before joining her father who just came out of the other carriage. I too helped Queen Gracia come out and made my way to Aster and the other royals.
The King, Queen, Prince and princess were standing in front of us while we were guarding them from a distance of a few steps. We know there are going to be many agents here, trying to kill as many royals as possible for the sake of their bloody kingdoms.
Soon enough, the trumpets started and the Royals of Lynsessis seemed to be coming out of the Castle.
