the beasts over the crown

The king was immersed in his thoughts, drowning in a sea of his apprehensions and fears. Especially since his successor - the chosen one, raised by his father, the conquering king - had finally reached the age of maturity and was now on the verge of being prepared to rule in his place. Any day now, his father would enter to take the crown from him and place it upon the head of his promised prince!

The king heard a light knock on the door of the room, followed by the voice of one of its guards asking for permission to enter.

" Come in " , the king shouted after he sat with his cold body on a chair near the warm fireplace.

The guard Ser James, a twenty-year-old young man known for his charming smile and cheerful spirit, entered wearing his bronze armor and a dark green cloak that hung from his broad shoulders. However, the turmoil and anxiety were evident on his pale face, his laughing eyes were swollen and the eyelids darkened from lack of sleep. Then he knelt down, saying succinctly and in a dry tone :

"Lady Cecilia, the Sorceress of the Castle, requests to see you."

James Freimann was the second son of the " hand " lord Marwin , second in line after his elder brother Noah - whose fate remains unknown - .

He was an easy-going boy, well-mannered and cheerful. A brave knight with a heart of a virtuous saint.

This is what made the king comfortable with his company, just as he was with his father before him.

However, Noah did not inherit even a hint of those traits, even though he was a precise likeness of his father in his youth with his tall stature and blue eyes. Instead, his soul was filled with blind confidence bordering on arrogance, hastiness, and quick temper.

The king felt a sense of relief when he recalled the decisive rejection of the 'hand' when he preferred to send James as the commander of the western forces instead of his older brother .

Noah, as the 'hand' had stated, had been expecting this honor since the first banners of Riverspears appeared, on which a great yellow eagle flapped its wings ، over the pure land of the kingdom . Thus , the animosity would not spread between the brothers ، and James would have time to gain a quarter of the military experiences that Noah had.

The king was annoyed at seeing James in this condition, as he considered him one of his sons. He said in a sarcastic tone, trying to force a laugh from his mouth: "Did she reveal the reason for the visit at this late hour... Could it be that she has made a magical potion to help us against the enemy?"
