Chapter 35
"His highness, Prince Valor of house Talaelex, accompanied by his expedition party and Lady Dynamere of house Raenleous."
Aynyra paused in her tracks. The party turned to her entrance. Her brother Prince Valor strode towards her, a large goofy smile on his face before he pulled her in for an embrace, "Little Aynyra, oh you've grown so much!" Valor squeezed her tightly.
"Brother, it's good to see you," she wheezed.
Valor let her go when the King cleared his throat, the sound echoing across the hall. "Princess Aynyra, please sit." The King gestured to the smaller throne two seats to his left. On his right, sat her brother when he was around. The other throne was reserved for the Queen, her mother sat there, and now Rhae would. If she woke.
Aynyra gracefully strode before the King and bowed low before taking her seat. Prince Valor stood before his party and bowed once again to the King and Aynyra, his noblewoman doing the same.

Dynamere turned the handle to open Rhaenyx's bedroom door. She peered through the darkness to make out the figure on the bed. She heard whispers from the servants that Rhaenyx was in a coma for unknown reasons. Dynamere knew why, Icran mentioned that she attempted to him. That would not be forgiven, so here she was, to pay back the debt. She would accomplish the mission that Rhaenyx had failed to do for too long now.Dynamere crept through the room, slowly drawing out her dagger, without making a sound. She made it across the tiled floor to the edge of the bed. She paused to examine the figure now that her eyes had been accustomed to the dark. Rhaenyx was breathing softly, in a deep slumber. Her body was still, and her muscles relaxed.Dynamere moved closer and lifted the dagger into the air. Once she was done here, she would kill the snivelling Princess next, then the King, and before word got to the Prince, she would have one last taste of him. Then she would e

Rhae awoke to servants funnelling into her room, pulling open the curtains, hauling out a wooden platform into the middle of the room with piles of fabrics, needles and thread. Rhae sat up and rubbed her eyes as the morning light poured into the room. "Good morning your majesty, we have a busy schedule so let's get you up and ready!" She recognised the lady who spoke to her. Maria, she believed her name was. Rhae was hauled out of her bed by Maria and pulled onto the wooden platform they hauled out earlier. She had servants standing behind her brushing and styling her hair, while others held up fabrics to her skin, pinning and forming a shape to fit her. After what felt like forever, the servants who were sewing disappeared into her closet and walked out with a light blue gown that sat just on the edge of her shoulders and made a straight line across her chest. It was hemmed with lace that frilled out along the top, then continued down her bodice until it reached her waist. The skirt

Aynyra walked into the feast hall, gazing down at the long wooden tables intricately decorated and covered with lavish plates of food. The tables had red tablecloths with golden leaves running down the trim. Golden candlesticks and golden chalices were laden along the table, a clear theme of red and gold present. The tapestries had been changed to show golden trees with a red background, hanging across the walls of the dining hall. The adjacent ballroom had the curtains pulled back to view the whole ballroom, which was also decorated similarly. The curtains were red with gold detailing and the banners across the room matched.Aynyra made her way down the steps, towards the table that ran horizontally against the other tables that ran vertically down the hall. Seated in the middle of the table facing the rest of the room sat the King, her father and Prince Valor at his side. Rhaenyx was yet to arrive it seemed. As she made her way down the stairs, her brother caught her eye an

Rhae sat down beside her King, "Sorry Vaevor, I must rest for a moment before I dance again."The King smiled, "not to worry Nira, I would give anything for your happiness, my Queen." He picked up her hand and kissed it, smiling at her widely."Thank you, Vaevor. I was actually hoping we could discuss some issues at the moment, the winter has undoubtedly made our crops suffer-" Rhae started, but was cut off as Vaevor raised his hand."Nira please, this is a celebration! Let us discuss these issues at our meetings." The King turned and took a drink from his golden chalice.Rhae sucked in a breath before turning to the ball and smiling, "Of course, your grace."Rhae's hands were tied. She had a mission that she could not stop herself from completing. Eventually, Icran would come for her and the royal family would die. The citizens were struggling, and people dying. The winter was always harsh, but with the poor harvest over the past few months, many

Aynyra sat in the corner of the library, picking over the shelves, trying to find any hints about the Fae. The books dedicated to the subject had all been burned, but she hoped that she could find any clues or mentions in other books. That's when she saw a book named "The History of the Royal Family", just what she was looking for. She took the book to a nearby table and sat, pulling a candle close by. She skimmed through the introduction and discusses the establishment of the Kingdom and the first royal family. Aynyra continued flipping through a couple of generations to the young Prince in love with the Fae princess from another kingdom. There wasn't much information, as with all the other books she had combed through. The book only discussed him falling in love with a Fae woman before an eligible Queen stepped up after the untimely murder of his Fae bride-to-be. The Queen then ruled the Kingdom during that time while the Prince grieved, refusing to take on his kingly duties. Ther

Rhae took a deep breath, checking her fingers for any lingering blue flames, before strolling out of her chambers towards the greenhouse. Prince Valor was sitting down feasting on pastries. If he isn't careful he could become as big as his father. Rhae strolled purposefully towards the table before taking a seat across from the Prince. She gave him a pointed stare, waiting for him to stop staring at her with a pastry hanging half out of his mouth. Valor slowly took the pastry out of his mouth and placed it on his plate, chewing the bite he took before he pulled it away. "Hello Nira, what can I do for you?" Valor smiled, resting his chin on his hands. "First of all, I'm not your mother, nor do I want to be. You will address me as Queen Nira. Secondly, you will not ask questions about my relationship with your father, though you are welcome to ask questions about anything else. Third, I need to know about the monsters, everything you saw outside of the walls." Rhae was giving a smil

Rhae woke up in a foreign room. She sat up and looked around, she was lying in a bed. Rhae looked to her left and saw Icran lying down, facing the other way. Damn! Rhae pulled back the covers and moved to get out of the bed. Icran grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, "Rhaenyx, wait please." Rhae turned too quickly, her head pounded and a green light flashed across her vision. She grabbed her head before falling back onto the pillow. "You have a concussion, you need to rest." Icran pulled the covers over her before leaning against his own pillow, running his hands through his long, blonde hair. "Listen, it's been a couple days. You were crushed under the rubble and I brought you here. You have a few broken ribs. We ran out ofAkihyra,because the King had his guards uproot the tree and take it to palace." "Rhae sat up again, you mean it's not on the hill anymore?" Rhae grabbed her head again, running her fingers

Aynyra sat to the left of her father, with her brother on his right. They sat together at the meeting table, the court members turned to the King, waiting for him to speak. Her father had called an emergency meeting, which had never happened in her life. She also had never been to a meeting before, she supposed her father had an important reason for inviting her. "Our Queen has gone missing. Our prisoner has escaped. We must organise a search party for the Queen and put our a warrant for Dynamere Renaeleous. I will be leading the search party with my son. The lords present today will enact a council temporarily to take over my duties whilst I search for my wife," The King had no room for argument on his face. "Father, I would like to join the search party," all the Lords in the room turned to her, including her father and brother. The King frowned, "Absolutely not. You are to stay here and train to be the spiritual leader for when your brother takes over, as planned." Aynyra stood,
