"ALRIGHT ALESTERIA, you just have to put all the mana you can get and--WOAH!"
BANG!
The sound of a massive explosion is enough to frighten everyone in the palace, especially if it comes from the princess's room. They did, however, consider soundproofing the chamber early on to avoid detection.
And it seemed to be the best option they could have made as Parie stared at the massive hole in the wall, smokes from the hole appearing as the silver-colored ball evaporates into thin air, leaving just the proof of its presence.
"What the… Are you tryin
A PRINCE'S knight faction is a group that manages the prince's protection and abides in them entirely; they can never betray the prince that they serve and will always be faithful to them. It is also where talented people are personally acknowledged and taken in by the prince, with them vowing to serve the prince for the rest of eternity; some of these people stood by the prince's heir, and so will their descendants. As such, it has become a tradition for every royal to have knights of their own. It also makes sense because royals required protection from those who wanted to harm them, but it's not like the royals don't have the capacity to do so on their own. It's just that it's much easier for the royals to travel around without too much trouble. And, according to tradition, each royal must have fifteen to twenty knights, which excludes a personal aide because they are typically recognized as the prince's right-hand man.
'YESTERDAY WAS fun.' Alesteria thought as she quietly sipped her drink which is again, just milk.She can't have tea yet since she's only three years old, which annoys her because she used to drink lavender tea all the time when she was the witch.She's putting up with it for the time being.Alesteria laid her cup down as she reflected on what had transpired the day before, which brought a warm grin to her face.'We played in the fields after watching Aldrich carve out our initials on the three for what felt like an eternity.'Alesteria felt her mood lightened up because of yesterday's events, even if the news about her brothers leaving soured it a little, but that's fine.Aldrich and Aimilios tried their best to make her feel that she is treasured and important in their lives; to the point that her brothers did everything with her, played with her, told her everything that happened to them whilst they were gone, and accomm
NICHOLAE WASN'T planning on visiting to be honest, but he felt the urge to at least see the young princess's face that day, and what luck he has that her 'knights' are not around to protect her.Though, he doesn't have the luxury of visiting too as Aldrich and Aimilios would prevent him from seeing Alesteria. So, he would often be turned away the moment he stepped inside.Fortunately for him, the princes are not on Alesteria's side because they have their own factions to deal with.'It is a good thing I went today.' He thought as he stared at the smiling princess.Nicholae admits that Alesteria is lovely in his eyes, especially when the sun reflects on her blonde hair, which appeared to complement her ocean blue eyes, her cheeks rose pink, her eyelashes were long and nearly fluttering every time she blinks, and even the way she expresses herself.'I haven't understood the sense of being loved yet, but that's expected g
ALESTERIA WANTED to disappear due to the embarrassment as she stares at Xerxes with a flushed face, her ocean blue eyes staring daggers at her father, the emperor, hoping for him to stop his childish action. Unfortunately, her dagger-like look is the equivalent of a cub gazing at a lion, and Xerxes didn't even notice it as he continued to stare down at the tiny Versormer heir. If his gaze could kill, the poor boy would be dead by now. 'This. Is. Embarrassing!' Alesteria screamed in her mind as she clenches her fists. 'That was totally unnecessary and rude! In my thousand-year experience, I have never been treated like some fragile being by anyone!' She added, her flushed face becoming redder. Although what Alesteria said is reasonable, she is also a person who hasn't been in touch with another person for a millennium, and the only companion she has is a proud dragon, an egotistical pixie, and some sweet dwarf
"THAT WAS the most entertaining thing I have ever witnessed in my entire life!"Parie was ecstatic, her face is bright and her eyes twinkled as she laughed hysterically while recalling the events that happened earlier between Alesteria, the emperor, and the young boy named Nicholae.She never expected something like earlier to unfold in front of her very eyes, but she also doesn't want to miss out on it so she stayed hidden in Alesteria's pocket; from which she witnessed everything.Parie was impressed with the young Nicholae when in front of the emperor; she, who was not visible, even shook somewhat owing to the emperor's imposing demeanor, but the boy?'He was so composed and confident! I like him already!'Parie continued to laugh at the side while Alesteria was still pissed, her mood darkening and her eyes still glaring.After the confrontation and the argument Xerxes and Alesteria had, they cut off the remainin
"BWOTHEW ALSO doesn't know why fathew hates Dwuke Vewsowmew?"Alesteria's round blue eyes stared at the sweating Aldrich as he took a step back, her gaze becoming unbearable by the second as he avoided her gaze.Aimilios stared at the two as he sipped his drink, an open book placed in front of him. He didn't bother picking up his book again because he knows the events that are about to unfold in front of him will be far more interesting.Aldrich had just returned from swordsmanship training and instead of freshening up, he went straight to the gazebo where Aimilios and Alesteria were waiting.When he arrived, Alesteria was silent but the moment her eyes landed on his sweaty figure, she asked him."Bwothew shouwd know since he is oldew."Aldrich wanted to leave but Aimilios is staring down at him.'Don't you dare…' He conveys through his eyes.It has been a week since the rumors about Alesteria a
A FEW hours before Bella went to where Alesteria is, Bella knew that she just couldn't act without any permission from his majesty.Even though she was given full authority over the princess's education and well-being, she still need his majesty's approval before she could do anything.And for what she had in mind, she decided to visit him for this matter alone.Bella took a big breath in as she stood in front of the entrance to His Majesty, Xerxes' office, her heart thumping so loudly inside her chest that she could almost hear it.She gathers herself slowly as she lifts her hand, forms it into a fist, and knocks."Your Majesty, this is Bella."Xerxes raises his head in response to Bella's voice from the other side of the door, while Tristan stands alongside him, and the never-ending paperwork is laid on the table for all who enter to see.In the past couple of days, Xerxes just buried himself in his work that was se
IN THE capital, the common age for a noble child to be introduced to high society, also known as the noble's debut, is between the ages of 5-8, depending on how well they have developed. This age is reserved for children who can communicate, speak, act, and present themselves well in front of other nobles. At this age, a child's development can be witnessed, and they may still be coached by their parents on where they fall short and how to improve. Furthermore, this is not only the age at which kids will acquire fundamental etiquette and manners. They've been studying since they were able to open their eyes. Essentially, from the time they are born. It is customary to encourage children to be autonomous and accountable for their own activities, such as cleaning up their room or performing a nice deed, among other things. Some people believe that it is the small things in life that define a person. As a result, the children are
