Hi everyone, I have edited all the typos and made the few scenes simpler, as I have written the chapter in the mid-night, a bit or rather very sleepy. Reminder- There is not any major changes in the plot.
___________________________________________
In a castle, in the Zephyros continent.
"Mother!! We are already late, how much longer are you gonna make us wait?"
A boy not with brownish eye and similar yet lighter brown color hairs, way longer than a normal boy would normally have and with a sharp yet professional charm not suited for his age, is standing in one of the halls of a castle, not as big as the royal castle.
Snapping back after calling his mother, only to receive a usual remark, he deeply stared in the reptilian eyes of his the butler, standing with a poker face, with similar reptilian eyes of his own.
"Alfred, have you seen my sister?"
As if coming back to world after listening his question, he slowly yet firmly nodded his head in a clear "No" only for the slit of his young master becoming as narrow as it can get.
"These females of my family..Uuugh!!"
With a growl like that of a wolves dissatisfied with the tribute offered by his prey, he marches toward the upper floors. Of course towards his sister's room.
.....
After half an hour:
" Aaaahhahhh!! Iiiiiii aammmm soooooo soooorrr….."
"Nope it serves you right, Darian."
" Now why wouldn't you tell me the reasons for you to just burst into my room, my little brother….Uuuhh!!"
Currently The Terraegis family's carriage is running through a hustling and bustling road of the capitals, heading towards the Royal palace, beyond the great walls, located on the top of not so tall hills, totally covered in snow while practically shining even under the dark clouds.
Inside the brown and elegant carriage, a boy, named Darian Terraegis and not older than 6 years, is sitting while sobbing peacefully in a corner with his right ear as red as a tomato due to being punished by his older sister for show casing his bravery in wrong thing, kicking the door open when her sister said about taking wanting few more minutes for the 3th time.
Heyyy!! This is not good. How can you punish me for that after all, if not for me, we would all be arriving after even those frozen skulls and glaciers— The Glaciesvyrns.
Wooo!! No matter how many times I see this sight, I just can't get enough of this great wall, protecting the Royal family. The snow falls above the royal palace and the whole hill till its foot, covering both the castle and hill in a white blanket while the royal capital located just at the foot of the hill and outside the great walls experiences a normal weather cycle, like another place in the continent.
…..
Finally!! After almost about 7 minutes of riding carriage, my eyes catches the sight of my father standing on the one side of the red carpet. Even when my father is standing, he is surrounded by several nobles, latching upon him as if trying to devour him completely.
Seeing us arriving there, especially before the Glaciesvyrn House, my father's lips stretching into a smile and after giving a playful smirk to the Valerius Glaciesvyrn my father swiftly joins us all and we all enter the magnificent royal palace, which is a least 5 times the size of our mansion, what to talk about the massive amount of precious stones and jewels that have been used.
Just as Darian and his family enters the hall and make themselves comfortable, that is socializing with the other noble present in the hall, lavished with elegant yet not too heavily decorated cloths or such after all they all know who the real queen is.
"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests of the Zephyros Continent,
The moment has arrived. From the heart of the icy expanse, where the winds whisper tales of ancient glory, the Royal Family of Zephyros steps forward to grace this hall. Behold, as the grand doors of the Zephyros Royal Palace open to welcome them!..."
Well let's see, Our prince and 2nd princess, the son and daughter of our majestic queen.
As the voice of the announcer boomed in the room, all the figures in the room suddenly bent by 90 degree and in sink with that I feel my father's hand on my head, already bending my body like others. Of course, not gently but rather pushing my upper body forward as if the very life our family lies on this gesture of ours.
Few moments later, suddenly a very creepy yet authoritative aura spreads through the whole hall.
Finally, after few seconds which seems to last for eternity, a fierce battle within my heart, coming to and end as my curiosity wins over the relentless warnings that I have been showered for not a hour, day or week but for whole 5 months or rather since the very day we received the invitation about the celebration. I slightly raises my head, just enough so that I can see the figure of our so much rumored, Seraphina Zephyros, The strongest and the most benevolent empress.
Gulp
Yup that is only think I can do because what I am currently seeing can hardly be defined as possible. A beauty at the appearance of whom each and every pairs of eyes, no matter male of female, would be attached to her movement no matter even if they are with their fiancés or wife. And currently what can come to my mind is anything but lust because If a reaper, in the presence of whom even death could be considered the pinnacle of mercy, comes in front of you wearing a sexy gown and when you experience death for thousands of time just for putting those filthy eyes of ours on that body of hers, just how the hell your mind would be in condition to process anything.
All this, all this all this, just by gazing for a fraction of second. No wonder the sounds of few "Thud" of body collapsing is already resounding through the hall, most probably due to having a full sight of hers.
...…..
As ceremony continuous, all the noble in the hall just stands through all the things without even sound of a single pin drop in the hall.
As the naming ceremony ends with the prince announcing his name and a few successive statements of the announcer, all the noble released a sigh of relief after seeing that their queen is not gonna sit around in the banquet but then to their surprise, both of the royal siblings comes down from the raised platform to the joins the banquet. As he stands there alone with his sister, only to be totally swallowed by the maids and butler for attending to their any needs that might arise. But to the delight of the crowd, the butler and maid simply disperses as a chilly aura suddenly castes upon the whole banquet, making it very clear that this is the royal palace, where her majesty lives.
And just like that Darian takes a step toward Lucian… and who knows what sparks—or storms—this encounter might ignite?
