I am not a queen because I rule, I rule because I am THE QUEEN.
Birthed in my heart. Alive in my veins…

For the first time in his twenty eight years of living, Prince Commander Zorgan was confined to a solitary cell within the palace.
At the stroke of midnight, he awoke with a groan. Two soldiers stood watch outside and a maid sat nearby, her presence a silent vigil.
‘‘Do you require anything My Lord?’’ She inquired upon noticing his awakening.
He scoffed inwardly, recognizing the Queen’s gesture as a hollow attempt at compassion.
‘‘Bottles of liquor, as many as you can carry,’’ he replied knowing what awaited him by dawn.
Though she found his request most unusual, the maid complied without delay.
At daybreak, when all had recovered from the long night, Zorgan was escorted to the Royal Scourge Sanctum – a court reserved for the judgement of nobles and Royals.
