The Royal Highness Novels & Stories

Alpha King Xalen can’t escape making me Queen, so why won't they call me that? “Apologies, My Queen,” the servant uttered, bowing to me. Without another word, I was taken to the kitchen, and as soon as I stepped into it, all eyes turned to me, and soon after, they all tilted their heads respectfully. No introduction was needed, and I didn’t hesitate to ask, “Who is in charge here?” “I am, Your Highness,” a lanky man walked forward. Highness? Wasn’t that for princesses and princes?

And now, the King was setting up a "Rite of Royal Adoption.” What even was that? “What does the rite entail?” "The Rite of Royal Adoption is an ancient and sacred ceremony, Your Grace," the head maid explained, her voice dropping to a respectful murmur. "When a child of the royal bloodline is conceived out of a traditional union, the King must formally acknowledge the pregnancy before the high court and the pack elders. By presenting you at the altar, the King officially adopts the child into the direct line of succession, securing its title, protection, and royal status before it is even born."

Seeing how the servants and even Orius react to Averi's politeness, I can say that being polite is something he does not always do. He calls his highness by his first name when in fact, it's a strict rule within the royal rule that people with higher rank should be address on their proper title and with respect at all times. I get it that he is older and Orius is probably used to having Averi calling him by his name but now that he will become a King in a few month. It's just right that he lectures that brother of him and put him on his proper place.

“Greeting to you! Lady Marina Celestine Edwards, A Royal Proclamation has been now release, by order of His Majesty, the King. Today was been declared a special day in honor of the successful return of His Highness, the Crown Prince. In celebration, a grand feast and a welcoming ceremony shall be held at the Avalor Royal Banquet Hall. Honored guests are invited to join His Majesty and His Highness at the end of the month to officially celebrate this wonderful occasion and success. The Royal Family is expecting your presence and support.”

"There's no need to apologize, Your Serene Grace. It's understandable that this situation has taken you by surprise." Taking a deep breath, I set the glass aside and composed myself, wiping away the remnants of panic from my expression. "Please continue, Garreth. Tell me everything that happened." He nodded and proceeded to recount the events in a steady tone. "His Royal Highness had an informal chat with the young masters and young mistress. It was clear that he was attempting to build rapport with them, discussing their interests and experiences over the past years. He inquired about their life in Cloveshire Citadel and seemed particularly interested in the incantation jewelry they wore."

She did not have that many friends and all, due to being the Royal Niece of His Grand Alpha, so she asked if He could join her and her family instead. After the death of our Grand leaders, The Royal Highness', His Highness was placed under the Stewardship of His Uncle Jacque Reeves. That is until His Highness came of age of 18 and could rightfully assume the throne at that proper time. A few years later, when His Highness did turn 18 years, there was a Grand Celebration where His Highness was able to assume the throne and therefore take over leadership from His Highness's Uncle. Everyone both respected and revered His Highness. No one past that point had d

~ BAILEY ~ We step into the opulent foyer of the apartment. It is no less and no more elegant and luxurious than Nick’s. The hues are a bit lighter than what Nick evidently prefers and the styles are dissimilar in terms of historical vs. modern, but other than that… Yeah. No expense spared here. Or on any inch of this palace. We’re greeted by a butler, who tells us, “His Majesty is waiting for you, Your Highness.” So king father still likes to be denoted as such. I tuck that away.

But Valentine wasn’t impressed, and neither was Revier. They said if looks could kill, I mean literally? The King would have been dead by now. I was surprised. Valentine wasn’t aware of the King’s plan for tonight. “Even if she had nothing, she used her voice to uplift others. She never stopped helping in the smallest way possible. Tonight, I’m honoring her for her untiring work and charitable causes. On behalf of the Crown Office, the Royal Household of Reginalt Valdemar, I restore the title of Her Royal Highness, Duchess of Guillaume, the Royal Order of Chivalry, and the rightful second in line to the crown, Princess Tara Adelaide Sophia Montimer-kaslt-ton Reginalt Valdemar.”

Frank one of the elders huffed in disagreement. “ Do not forget about the pact Frank. We can't wage a war on each other and besides the last thing I need right now is a war between races but do you think anyone who disrespects me will go scot-free? That is funny” The king stood up from his throne and all the elders bowed instantly.

“Well then, you are not yet an official member of RVS but if you passed this test, who knows? Maybe you won't be just a member, but a viscountess.” Waverly gasped. “A what, Maman?” “A viscountess, Miss Knight. If you are familiar with the hierarchy of RVS, I, the highest ruler, is called the Empress. The other rulers, my second hand, are called kings and queens. The future consorts of kings and queens will be called, the grand dukes and grand duchesses.” she clasped her hands before continuing, “The prince and princesses are the future children. Marquess and Marchioness are the heads of family's supporting the RVS. Count, Countess, Viscount, and Viscountess are the people who have a big cont
