Off With Their Heads

Once that letter arrived to Trystia lucious rushed to go and read it. He was happy that finally he would be able to talk to his sister. He wanted to help his sister from gettin out of exile. He wanted to huge her tightly and tell her how much he's missed her. But for now he could only sent her gifts for her birthday. Lucious ordered the blacksmiths to craft 21 jewelries and 21 crowns. He ordered 21 gowns to be tailored for his beloved sister. He spent his personal wealth to pay for all of the expenses and he spared no expense. He wanted to make sure that his sister would get the nicest and grandest things he would be able to get ahold of. But he also ordered an incredible blue and gold robe to be tailored for hyacinth. He made sure it was of highest quality as it was a gift for hyacinth sending him a letter. Lucious wanted everything perfect for his sister. He even ordered chefs that knew how to cook the best food possible to be sent to her. He ordered all of these to be done in a week. Lucious immediately sent back a letter to hyacinth.

"Emperor Hyacinth,

The brave and powerful emperor of Gillian. I give to you my thanks as you've reached out to me. I've been trying to find a way to contact my sister. I've missed her a lot. My father has done some awful things emperor hyacinth but please take care of my sister. None of this is her fault. I know her very well and I know that our father was the one who pushed her to spy against you. But I know that you are kind and that you will take care of her your majesty. Please send her my regards. I shall send her many gifts and I hope that I can visit the both of you one day together living your best lives as husband and wife.

-Lucious"

Lucious ordered his messenger hawk to be the one to deliver the letter to hyacinth. He was super excited to gift these to his beloved sister. He waited so long to see her again. It's been 2 years since they've last talked to each other. He wanted to go and save her from being exiled but he knew he wasn't powerful enough to do so. Whatever may happen even if his sister hates him he will save her from exile and he will always support her. She was all he had. She was always there for him and lucious now wishes to protect her as she's protected him...

Once hyacinth received the letter he was delighted. Even by just reading the letter hyacinth could feel the excitement and worry of lucious for his sister. Hyacinth can see how much lucious really adores his sister. Hyacinth now second guesses his decision in exiling nyx. He started to think if he should bring her back to the capital. He didn't know what to do. He just decided to wait and see her reaction if receiving the gifts from him and lucious. As much as he misses her he still needed to be cautious around her as then again she betrayed him and spied on him. All he can do now is wait and see what move she will be taking. But hyacinth does know one thing. And that thing is that he will never let nyx betray him ever again...

After that dinner princess amaris became ever so distant from emperor kishendren. And the emperor could do nothing about it. It was his fault in the first place on why she was very upset at him. He decided that every day he would spend time with his children. But to no avail princess amaris still kept her mouth shut. She refused to talk until her brothers came. She just wanted her brothers back in the capital. She has made too many mistakes like treating lucious very harshly. She refused to listen to the truth and only listened to herself. She talked too much and over spoke. Now that she knows how it felt to be disliked by those closes to her she wanted to keep her mouth shut. The reason why she refused to talk is out of fear that she might once again offend one of her loved ones. Like how she offended lucious before. Now they don't even talk. They just walk pass each other like wind. They don't even stop to greet each other anymore. Amaris was always too proud even when she was a child. She used her status as being the one and only legitimate daughter of emperor kishendren every way she can. She used her title to scare the nobles and ministers to bend to her will. She grew up thinking they were just puppets and servants. She didn't even care that much for their well being. It was clear emperor kishendren spoiled her too much. Whenever her arrival was announced people would bow to her begrudgingly because of her attitude. She was practically a spoiled daddy's girl that had a high position in the empire. And the sad thing is that no one could reprimand her because if she complains to the emperor about them disrespecting her then it will be off with their heads. She had to learn the hard way of what it means to not get your way. And the person to teach her that was lucious. Lucious made sure she knew her place. That she was a princess and she should abide by the imperial rules on how a princess should act in front of nobles and minister. Now she suffers without anyone protecting her not even her brothers or lucious. She shall now keep her mouth shut to avoid losing the ones she loves and values just because of one mistake she's made. Now she knows how it feels to be ignored by all around...
