I looked out of the closed and bolted windows of the Royal library, and silently stared at the bustling capital below which appeared more like dollhouses rather than a real panorama, and secretly sighed all over again.
And then I turned my gaze back to the grumpy old hag.... (Ahem!) I mean grumpy old lady before me and exhaled heavily. At her age, she should have one foot in the grave rather than torturing me with heavy books mentioning royal decorum.
Countess Regina Wroth, was the finest of the fine etiquette instructors the nation of Reveldron had to offer. She was a frail old woman who always had a very gentle expression on. At a glance, her gait looked as if wonky

Zylith.Actually, the so-called Royal etiquette was not only limited to the Countess's 'Ready-to-go' command. Everyone, including the Queen Dowager and the nobles were keenly observing my movements from the moment they set foot into this ballroom.I could tell they were trying hard to nit-pick my mannerisms and the way I carried myself. My inspection had started the moment I was surrounded by there bloodhounds and vipers. So I had to be very careful when I socialized with these supposed high-end bigwigs.In fact, the Royal customs were not really something mere nobles could be a judge of. While being under the torturous tutoring of Old Hag Wroth, I discovered that all the etiquettes and proprieties I had previously learnt were nothing but a child's play. The Royal customs were much more complicated than that. Even though the Hag'

Zylith."It was all you!" The livid Countess Wroth pointed her bony fingers at me and bellowed like a fanatic old wacko. I didn't think it was necessary to show any reactions to her futile accusations. Hence, I remained expressionless while only staring at her pitiful form without a word."How dare you point at a Royal!" Alexteris bellowed in sheer wrath. Let me tell you something, accusing a Royal of a felony without evidence was a treason all on its own. Now that the Countess Wroth dared to point her fingers at me, Alexteris had every reason to charge her of treachery. So I silently cheered for the guy when he stood up in my defence. You go Lexter! Show them who's the Man! "N-No Your Majesty! I didn't mean tha-thaghh... She is the only one who had a reason to frame my family. I.. ghaa

Zylith.I turned around to come face to face with the impassive look of the fake mummy brat_ I mean Alexteris, my face in turn morphed into that of an awed kind. His countenance looked like he was spouting gold out of his piehole as he applauded me."Oh My! What was that Your Majesty? I didn't seem to have heard you properly. Can you repeat your words once more, please?" I took a step forward to lean in my eager ears as I prompted him to repeat his golden clad words.Alexteris's expression wrinkled into that of a crumpled paper. Although he was still in his mummy disguise, I could still tell his face looked so very ugly right about now. Might as he try, he could not really hide his bitter mien. I, on the other hand, was trying not to laugh at the face of this sour loser.".... (Ahem!) I see the Queen's ears have not been cleared of wa

Reuben."..... And? Is she dead now?" I asked Gilbert in an indifferent manner as I was being reported of the recent events that took place in the castle."Yes Your Majesty. Countess Wroth and her grandson had been dragged to the gallows by the earliest of daybreak the very next day and were executed." Gilbert nodded his head solemnly."Hah!(Scoff) It seems Beatrice couldn't wait to get rid of the Countess this time." Otherwise, the transgressions of two eminent nobles would have to go through many complicated trials and verdicts before coming to the last resort of execution. It clearly reeked of the Queen Dowager's stench since they were put to death without so much as a trial."Yes Your Majesty. It looks like this incident this time was related to the Princess." Gilbert answered."Hmm, no wonder she was s

Zylith."Alright, quick question! What is the first thing you notice when someone tries to approach me in my sleep?""The audacity!""Excellent!" I smiled in gratification."If you can't 'convince' them, what will you do?'"Simple! 'Confuse' them Sire." Liana chirped in a fervent tone."Yes, very good!" I clapped my hands in satisfaction."Okay, next one! What is the shortcut to being wise?""Just think of something stupid to say, but then don't say it?""Oh My! You've revised your lessons very well Liana." I smiled brightly at her."But...""Hmm? You have something to say?" I raised my brows and prompted her to continue."-W-Well Sire, lately there have been some malicious rumours going around." She bowed her head

Zylith.I've always known that I'm the kind of person who attracts lots of excitements wherever I go, and it had gotten rather lively since I had arrived at the castle of Reveldron. But I didn't realize that my kinks of attracting excitements were rubbing off on my subordinates as well.Until yesterday that is.What made me believe in such outrageous superstations you say? Please do hear me out first.Yesterday, at the brink of twilight, when the day met the night, I was returning from my usual evening stroll when I happened to meet Lord Xavier on my way. I felt like it was finally fate's work at play when I saw him walk towards me while flaunting that regal aura of his.From the moment I first set my eyes upon him, there was something enticing about him, from the way he moved to his slightly long hair and mysterio

Zylith.Liana looked every bit reluctant that she was, she eyed the parcel in her hands as if it were a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode at any given second. I raised an amused brow at her funny antics, I knew that trying to sneak a peek at her parcel was an invasion of her privacy, but I couldn't help but feel more determined to know what was inside that forbidden parcel as I watched her solo freak-out show."Do open it Liana, what are you waiting for?" I said in a sly tone.Even though she wanted to rebut my order she was unable to as I was her superior and she was my maid, hence unwillingly enough, she slowly opened the said parcel.The parcel was beautifully wrapped in multi-coloured paper and looked utterly girly if you ask me, nevertheless it can be seen from the way it was gift-wrapped that the sen

Zylith."What is this?" My instructor, who looked like the smocking-hot live version of Superman in his flowery-youth, stared back at me with a look of utter disappointment, and I in turn, bit my lips in culpable sheepishness."What's the matter?" Alexteris on the other hand, was acting as the rogue catalyst that fuelled this raging 'Superman's' fire."Have a look for yourself, Your Majesty." He handed my test paper over to Alexteris to let him take a look."Oh! What do we have here?" He squinted his impish weasel eyes at my test paper in absolute mirth and read out loud to further enhance my embarrassment over my given answers."Q. What is the name of the battle that met it's conclusion i

ZYLITH."I remember it being a hot summer evening. I had mild beads of sweat adorning my temple as I rushed to my mother. I collided into the then First Queen who seemed to be on her way to my father. I fell back onto the ground due to the hard collision and she crouched down with an extended hand towards me; asking me why I had tears in my eyes. And I, like a fool, told her of my woes." He sneered in a twisted smile. It was not exactly a smile, maybe an ironic kind of self-mockery? But one could not call it a genuine smile."She was so kind and patient that for a sensitive ten-year-old, who was hardly ever taken seriously by an adult, it was the greatest form of gratification. I was really grateful, and I.... I even trusted all her words of console and false promises. She gave me a tonic, claiming it would definitely help my mother get better. And I.

ZYLITH."There was this one time when her hand slipped and the sword she was practicing with went out flying and.....""And? What happened next? Come on come on, tell me! Fast!" I urged him with shining eyes, albeit he couldn't see my expression but I recon he could imagine how excited I must've seemed to him.Alexteris and Reuben's mom seem just like the kind of mom I would die to have."(Chuckle!) And the sword flew out towards the head of the then grand chancellor who had come to discuss some important matters with my father. With a zapping sound, it went right pass above his head while carrying the wig he was wearing along with it. The man, who had a complex about his bald head was forced to stand there, solidified, like a hairless statue, while shaking all over(Chuc

ZYLITH.Smouldering, flickering, it flared and leaped. The fire licked the walls around me with a dangerous fervor. It soared and winded around the room like a huge hungry serpent, an inferno blazing out of control, the plumes of grey smoke enveloping us with not a way to escape.It's almost funny how only a flickering spark could weave such a destructive blazing curse.When I saw the flaming arrow zipping towards Alexteris through the massive window of the master bedroom, I was a wide-eyed ball of anxiety. I bolted to him unconsciously to pull him out of the arrow's trajectory, but what I didn't realize was that it was just a fraction of the entire plot. They not only wanted the life of Alexteris, but all the lives in the whole Eastern palace.

And amidst that blinding light, I saw her. She wore the same unadorned white dress that she usually liked to be dressed in, her hair in a loose plait, tumbling down her thin shoulders, and those green eyes alit with the same optimistic enthusiasm, a hint of innocent mischief in her insipid beautiful eyes.

Zylith."If the princess is so inclined to hear my performance, I can't possibly continue to decline and embarrass the benevolent Princess. Your majesty, you need not worry about the rest. Since I do have something prepared of the sort, just let this Queen perform a song for you and the Princess to enjoy." I said with a stunning smile, but Alexteris rather looked at me in unease.Lord Xavier raised his brows and spoke in a soft voice, "What do you think, do you think our Queen will be able to amaze the crowd or will it be that little songstress?"Looking at me with a scrutinizing gaze, my gorgeous instructor said, "It's hard to say, I mean it's Her Highness after all.

Zylith.There is a saying that conceited idiots never learn. And I just found it out to be the absolute truth.After a few rounds of drinks and a few flattery to boost the sewer rat general's tattered ego, his initial embarrassment gradually disappeared and he, once again seemed to have gained a fresh new life."Pardon Your Majesties, I heard that it hasn't even been more than a few months since Her Highness the first Queen has entered the Imperial palace. Since that is the case, are you accustomed to the palace yet?" I couldn't believe the thick skin of General Loghard, after all that humiliation I put him through, he still had the face to speak to me. Sometimes people are just..... unbelievable.I looked at him in an in

Zylith. Everyone has the right to be stupid sometimes. But this gentleman right here, was abusing the privilege. Now I know what an idiot really looks like. I looked sympathetically at the bud with all brawn and no brains. Sure enough, feeders do the most harm to your team. He'd just blurted out the treasonous thoughts that no one had dared to say. You sir, are not a genius! The one who broke the silence this time was Alexteris. He scornfully raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly, resting his chin on one hand. "So vice general Rottival is really aware that Lady Angela Darling is a songstress."

Zylith. There are many thing in life that I hated, but what I hated the most of all was.... A BITCH! I hated bitches the most! Especially the ones that acted all weak and pitiable, while hiding a bellyful of venom! I was glaring so hard that my eyeballs were about to ignite. In fact, if glares could kill, my scorching glare burning holes into this seductive songstress could kill her a thousand times. General Geovelle's gaze darted between Alexteris and the bitch Angela Darling, who was currently fluttering her fake lashes at our little prince. Feeling as though his purpose of bringing this girl to the high court had finally came to fruition, delight flashed through his wease

ZYLITH. I gaped at the grizzly bear in front of me, or more accurately, the grizzly-like man in front of me. Now let me tell you the story of how I met this grizzly bear of a man. The evening palace banquet that took place at an abrupt timing was in full bustle when the Queen Dowager came over and announced our V.I.P guest of the day, "Let me introduce you. This is my second uncle from my mother's side, a border general, Lord Geovelle Loghard. Uncle, this is my new daughter-in-law, First Queen Elizabeth Ronales the Regalious." The Queen Dowager chirped in a cheery voice. I had just reached Alexteris's side and sat down when the crafty Queen Dowager's introduction came. My smile stiffened at the sudden intro, for I didn't know that this sewer rat was the Qu
