The four kingdoms have been always ruled by the ancient house of the dragon gods, their descendants. Verta, Zulia, Kerkas and geftaq. Verta, known for its capital city where the royal family resides. Zulia, wealth is their power. The world bank's headquarters are located there whereas Kerka is famous for its beauty and Geftaq for its ruins.
The deposed king wasn't the most Chivalrous, but an abusive husband wasn't what the country was concerned with. His politics did wonders for the kingdom as long as he lived. He took in a queen at the age of 18, a young beauty. Although her beauty wasn't the most she could provide him with, he couldn't care less. They consummated but never had a child. Not being able to produce an heir to the throne, the frustrated King took another wife.
This time the wife was not as pretty but a cunning woman who was clearly ready to begin her game of manipulation. The queen was understanding. Despite being trained for the queen's position and responsibilities she couldn't grow to like his majesty. She did her duties as the queen while the concubine laid in his majesty's chamber all night and day long. She was unbothered, but couldn't help feeling useless for her failure to produce the king with a child.
Soon the concubine's day and night efforts paid off. Pregnant with a prince she met with preveilages and power which even the queen couldn't obtain. The prince grew up to be a nice, young lad of 6 although that was the last time he was seen.
Soon after the prince's fourth birthday, the queen became pregnant. But the unignorable fact was that she had not laid with a man for 3 years now. The queen was panicked but as a devoted wife stated the truth to the king. The king was not pleased. The queen exited his chamber with a bruise on her face and bloodied mouth and an expressionless face as if there was no hope to begin with neither any expectations. As she walked out of the door, the concubine entered through the door, ignoring the queen's presence which would've resulted in an executional punishment had the king directed his love towards the deserving queen.
She rushed into the room as if a disaster had befallen her. "what?!, did u betray me?! ", "no!."... ".."..... ", muffled noises reached the queen's ears. She seemed... Satisfied, a smirk appeared on her face as if that was the most fun she had in a while. Couple of days later, the royal family visited the shrine of the dragon and the Queen was told to be carrying the dragon's child in her. The seventh balance keeper. The queen was overjoyed. Not the concubine though. From that day forward she would throw tantrums like a child to remove the queen of her position. But the king did not correct her misbehaviour ever instead abused the queen out of frustration. There was no right, no wrong, no justice and no way to resist. Entrapment is all that the queen felt from that day onwards,but her love for the child in her belly went beyond caring. The child was all she had and she was all the child had.
The concubine was sent from the house of the Abigails, one of the most powerful families of the six. The king's death a year later was of no surprise." A weak heart, wrath of the people and mistreatment of a kind and loving wife had bound to get him death", people talked and talked and talked. Soon the rebels marched onto the walls of the castle, scared of the new princess and the newborn magic with her, the concubine had conspired.
