Wisteria being the biggest and oldest elven kingdom in all the land their rules to outsiders are strange and harsh and no one truly knows the reason either. No ruler has changed the rules in over a thousand years and now the people in the kingdom are starting to wander why the hate for the species even started to begin with.
"Your highness you father is asking for your presence" a maid knocked on the giant double doors
" Yuki I know I'm just not sure it would be best if I go" the princess answered the maid questioning everything that was about to happen
"Your highness if I may" Yuki asked before she did anything else
"Go ahead I will open the door " she did as she said opening the door for Yuki to enter
"Your highness, you are the princess of Wisteria you know better than anyone what's best for the kingdom" Yuki closed the door behind her reassuring the princess
"The Royal court thinks otherwise they still still prefer the times of ancient Wisteria" The princess was right most people on the royal court liked when other stayed in their own race and territories because of the past tales told
"Well your highness you will always have me by your side and your advisor Sora" Yuki knowing the princess since they were kids gave her a hug
"Yuki you are the best and please just call me by my name we are friends aren't we" she leaned into it smiling to herself
"Levina I meant what I said you will be the best ruler in Wisteria in over 1000 years" Yuki would be correct it was rare for a ruler to want change
"And that ruler will be very late if she doesn't get going now" a voice said walking through the door
"Royal advisor Sora I apologise for keeping the princess behind" yuki bowed to the male with mint green hair
"Sora please don't be upset I was just nervous and needed someone to talk to" Levina explained to Sora hoping he would understand her situation
"Princess Levina may I remind you that I am your royal advisor and that is what I am here for" he scolded the princess but knew it was a big occasion for her aswell it would be her first time acting as Queen before her actually coronation
"I-I know t-that but you know its harder to come to you with these sort of things and you are already busy as it is" Levina was right not only is he the royal advisor he also keeps everything in order around the castle
"Yuki , the princess and I need to have a private conversation" Yuki left the room bowing again before closing the door and going on her way
"Sora I am sorry I just knew you were already busy with my coronation and with the royal court" Levina stuttered a bit still stressed for what is about to happen and the expression on Sora's face seemed to softened
"Levina not only am I your royal advisor but I am also your boyfriend you have every right to come to me with anything not only this and you know that" he bent down to place a kiss on her forehead causing her to calm down more and blush a tiny bit
"Right we should get going then" Levina said in a hush tone she was alot calmer and just wanting it over with
"Princess you will do fine and I will be with you the entire time" he guided her out of the room soon following behind her

In the royal court room some elders were getting inpatient waiting on the princess even the current king of Wisteria it was of importance that she came here it was not only for the safety of Wisteria but also the safety of her daughter there. There is something brewing and this meeting can't be delayed any longer.
"Clearly she is not ready to be queen if she can't even make it to a meeting on time" a snarky remark made by a red haired elf
"Camellia watch your mouth you forget that I am the king and that is my daughter you speak of" Koda scolded the older woman closing his eyes fir a sec
"With all dew respect your majesty the girl has know idea how to rule a kingdom much less this matter" Camellia did not stop with the rude comments towards the princess
"Your majesty must not forget that this is her first time in the royal court so she might just be a little nervous" Lloyd a male elf standing in the corner spoke defending the princess
"Lloyd is correct you all remember your first time in court don't you" Aureila
the sweet girl was always looking at the bright side as she always did
"The princess isn't the only one late where is young Sora" Solaria the oldest one needed this meeting to go quickly because she had other things to do
The doors opened as Princess Levina entered the room with Sora behind her. She walked to the seat beside her father while Sora sat across from her.
"My apologies for being late" she lowered her head while saying the apology
"You have no reason to be late as the future queen of Wisteria you should learn to be on time" Camellia scolded the princess despite the warnings made by the king
"Camellia I apologise for keeping the princess longer than expected" Sora looked a the red haired girl
"I personally wanted to brief her on what to expect from you all before she came here" Camellia glared at him while he spoke
"Since we are all here let's discuss what this meeting is really about" Falon tried to break the tension that was rapidly growing
"There is something attack other near by kingdoms they are asking for our support in what ever the hell this is" Jacob mentioned placing his hand on the table infront of him
"Casidonia and Astoria have badly affected already they are asking for healers , rations even knights" Aureila announced to the court
"I think we should send some of our best healers and we have enough food to share I don't see why-" Levina was cut off and she wasn't to happy about it either
"Tch obviously our main priority is ourselves and the safety of Wisteria" Camellia was the one to cut her off
"I agree with the princess a kingdom without allies is strong but with them is even stronger " Sora mentioned which got a look from the king
"My concern is the safety of my kingdom and my daughter I want our focus to be on securing our safety if anything we can use this to our advantage" Princess Levina looked at her father in disbelief
"Are you serious right now people are dying and suffering and you can't even help them!" The princess slammed her hands on the the table
"My concern is your safety Levina you can not help everything you come across that is not a good ruler's mindset!" Lycan scolded his daughter he didn't raise her to be that way
"What is the real reason you won't help is it because of stupid tales no one knew if they were true! The only people to know the truth are the ancient ones not you!" Levina argued back completely ignoring the rest of the court
"They stole from us I won't support traitors of our own race Levina, Camellia is right we focus on ourselves!" Lycan yelled at his daughter while Camellia smiled
"Is that how you solve everything! How do you not realise how this affects us too! This is why people are leaving Wisteria because of rulers like you!" Levina was not thinking about what she said but it was on her mind
"Levina! Watch your mouth young lady!" He scolded her
"No because you are not only holding a hatred on one race but you are holding that hatred towards all of them! You are acting like how they treated us!" Levina knew what she said hurt her father but she was right
"Astoria is ruled by king that is selfish it always has been ruled like I never forgive them for what they have Levina! Think of your mother! " It was more of an argument between Lycan and Levina than it was an actual meeting
"My mother would have wanted to help them not let them all suffer because of Victor a king who only cares about himself but Casidonia has done nothing to you or the kingdom of Wisteria!" She had a point they all knew she did but they dare not intervene
"Levina , Casidonia betrayed their own race the minute they allowed humans in the race who tormented us for years and from the time they allowed shifters in the who tried to kills us" Lycan yelled at her while all Levina could is hold in her tears and glance at Sora
"Well me and you will always be different but not everything is what you believe it to be and you of all people should know that!" Levina didn't dismiss herself she just got up and left
"Your majesty it is clear that she isn't meant to rule" Camellia clearly didn't understand the tension in the room
"Camellia not another word out of you I will hand deliver to the dungeons!" Lycan was still pissed at his daughter for her out burst

It was late at night but you could still hear the footsteps of knights patrolling the castle grounds. Through a window a small light flickered ,Princess Levina was wearing a dark cloak and had a small bag aroundher waist. She waited till she couldn't hear footsteps outside her door, She sneaked out and down a long corridor where no was. She looked around to make sure no one was around, she whispered an incantation and waved her hand over the wall before it revealed an entrance to a staircase. She stepped inside with the bricks returning to normal behind her, she made her way down still looking behind her to make sure no one was following her. When she reached the bottom of the staircase she saw a familiar face at the bottom.
"Sora what are you doing here?" She asked him as much as she shouldn't be be surprised she just didn't expect it
"Levina I should ask you that I also think you forget that I am the who showed you this passage way" He folded his arms leaning on a wall
"Sora I know what my father is going to do I can't just stand here and watch Sora those people could die without treatment and I know that I can't help everyone but-"
Sora pulled he close giving her a kiss
"You don't have to explain that to me Levina but I am not letting you go alone and you don't get a say in it either" Sora stared in her eyes
"I wanted to go Casidonia first they need as much help as they can get" Levina said knowing that Casidonia is one of the smallest elven kingdom so she knows they were in much worst condition than Astoria
"Then we go there first but I need to make sure that you aren't seen so wait for my signal" he told her giving her another kiss before making sure she couldn't be seen.
