Lady Larissa of House Whitby. The name also sounded oddly familiar. Everyone knew the Whitbys. Who didn't?They were a noble household that most people liked to forget existed. All because Silver Falcon also known as Lord Earn was a religious fanatic. After his fallout with the king about a decade ago, he had stopped attending court, a development that relieved everyone so much that they stayed away from him. His radical views and approach to matters was different from everyone else in court, safe to say the King had been looking for a way to dispose him for a while.He was never seen in court since then, only deigning to send emissaries when it was necessary. His wife had died years ago, but they had a son who got married to the daughter of a famous merchant. Both happened to have died far away from Castamere in a horrible sea accident just a few years after their daughter was born. Lord Earn was the one who took care of his granddaughter.But after his fallout
The Heir and the Dragon Chapter 12 - Opening Ball 2.
Astra hated everything.From her lack of a handmaiden to the fact that Prince Caspian had not yet given her an audience.Her woes started when she reached the castle.Fortunately for her, her plight had been able to garner enough pity for her and even gave her an audience with the Queen. Who was very sympathetic to her plight.She had hoped that this would also make the Prince want to see her but it didn't work out as she planned.Prince Caspian didn't see her, nor did he request to see her. In fact, he had seen nobody except for Monica, who had gleefully spilled in the tea room that they had met accidentally in the garden.Astra could tell that she was lying. Accidental? There was nothing accidental about meeting a Prince who everyone had been trying to get through for days.She had been trying to get an audience with the Prince but suddenly Monica was able to run into him?It didn't make sense to her, but at least she knew wh
The Heir and the Dragon Chapter 11 - Opening Ball 1.
It was the night before the opening ball. Sal had been searching the forest for days, yet all his efforts had been futile.He had managed to find the bandits lair, but with little to no sign of Summer. This made him wonder if she had been sold.So after a while of picking up the bandits trail, he decided that he would go to the Slavers Market in Wyeth to make enquiries.The Slavers market was one of the biggest Slave City in the entire kingdom of Castamere. It was where all the noblest of nobles and where the Castle royals got their slaves from. It was known for selling high quality slaves who had special skills, unique abilities or outstanding talent that may some day help them be freed of their masters.It was possible that Summer had been taken to the Slavers market, the only issue was how Sal would acquire information without being suspicious about it. He was not of noble or royal blood.So, a nobody sniffing around asking about a slave o

It was barely past dawn when the letter arrived and the whole of General Wells' household was buzzing after hearing it's content.Everyone was thrown in a state of frenzy and confusion.Summer had been kidnapped, she was taken by bandits, Astra had managed to escape by a hair's breath and in dire need of a new handmaiden."Have you seen this?"Lady Lucia rushed into her husband's study with the letter in hand.General Wells looked up from his books and sighed. Of course he had seen the news. It had plagued him ever since he heard about it.First of all he wondered whether or not the attack was made on his daughter or the bandits simply wanted to steal. He wondered if Summer had taken the pledge to protect his daughter a little too seriously and he wondered if it already cost her her life."Oh gods!!! Poor Astra! I wonder how she's feeling! We must visit her at once. With a new handmaiden too."His wife, Lady Lucia gushed and Ge

Larissa of House Whitby.That was Summer's new identity. Hydra and Lord Earn spent quite a while preparing her for Queenstrial. But they planned to unveil her on the night of the opening ball.Summer was terrified, she was not only becoming a totally different person, she was changing her identity, she was contesting to be Queen, in a place she had no business being.It was wrong. Worse, if her true identity was discovered she certainly would suffer dearly for it, there was no way she wouldn't.Everything it had taken to become Larissa was stressful.The process of dying her hair alone had taken a toll on her.But the results were splendid. White blonde hair, just like the Lady Larissa had.She didn't know who Larissa was, but if the painting on the wall in the room she was put in happened to be her, then Larissa was a very beautiful and special noble. She was an albino, something the locals called the white ones.Summer

"Are you ready to leave yet?"Sal asked the Coachman as he watched him saddle the horses. The sun was setting and night time was approaching, some of the carriages had left, theirs was only waiting to get the letter Astra wanted delivered to her father.The Coachman nodded."Yes, I should get back home before nightfall. I pray the roads are much more favourable this time.""Also. Lady Astra would like to request for a new handmaiden. And also tell them about what happened.""She has sent a personal letter.""I am to deliver it to her father."He said as he went on about h
The Heir and the Dragon Chapter 7 - An offer of freedom.
Summer woke up to the sound of breathing that wasn't her own. It was heaving, like a man and it was rapid as if he was running into the room. She listened, still, trembling. He started moving slowly, his heavy feet creaking floor boards that were silent for her. She rolled to her left and slid down the crack between the bed and the wall, praying that an empty bed will send him away.The door creaked and she could tell he was inside already."Get up girl."The Old man's voice said and she slowly looked up. She was slightly shivering out of fear.She had no idea where they were or where they were going. She only knew that whatever it was that was happening wasn't going to end well for her.The l
The Heir and the Dragon Chapter 6 - Wyeth.
The rest of the ride to the castle was quiet. Very quiet. Sal was lost in his thoughts, hoping there was a way they could get to Wyeth as soon as possible and he would leave.Their rest of the trip had been smooth without any hitches or anymore trouble. At least he was grateful for that.He had to make sure Astra arrived at the castle first, safe and sound before making any plans to leave.Even though she had been unharmed, she was shaken a little bit. And she was still very angry and frightened for some reason he couldn't understand.She had been safe in the carriage while they the bandits had been fought off, she had been safe. He didn't understand why she continued to make a big deal out of the issue.
The Heir and the Dragon Chapter 5 - Lost in the woods.
Summer woke up in a tent. Her whole body ached badly, like she had been hit repeatedly with a log of wood.She was in a filthy tent, with the crude smell of dirt and liquor pungent in her nostrils. Her head was banging. The pain was unbearable and searing and she felt like she was going to collapse under the pressure.She blinked her eyes a few times as she tried to get used to her surroundings but it was futile. She didn't know where she was, or why she was there.All she knew was that she had been kidnapped by some strange bandits. Some men who had attacked their carriage.What did she have to do with them? She thought angrily and shook her head.They must have mistaken her with
