Lady Nicole was quite slim and she was relatively tall, she looked like a well-sculpted model. Everything she did reflected elegance and poise.
Though Lady Nicole and her brother, Lord Nicolian weren't directly related to the King, they were distant cousins and the only set of people from his bloodline still alive.
The two siblings are the descendants of the King's grandmother, therefore they were purebred vampires and not hybrids.
Lady Nicole picked up a red apple from the try of fruits and her long thin perfectly manicured fingers grazed it gently as she took a bite, and not a single drop of apple juice could be seen on her lips.
"How long have you schooled in the academy?" Katherine asked the group of people around her that seemed to be engaged in small talk.
"You've misunderstood, we're only present to receive our official certificate of becoming scholars," Sir Alexander

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Countryside, Lady Morgan's Manor--'The troubles of one's mind and the thoughts within the soul bring forth a long-forgotten pain only to be remembered by those who sow the reward.If only time could tell the fate of one's life, how much time would be saved? Destiny, however, laughs in the face of time, mocking its existence for being nothing but a measure that means nothing compared to its counterpart.However long, wherever it may be, the once-forgotten pain along with destiny will turn back to mock your existence before moving to its next victim.'- N.A.

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Countryside, Lady Morgan's Manor--Katherine woke up the following morning with the same unsettling feeling as the night before. However, she did not dwell on it and decided to take a walk.She grabbed her robe from her bedpost and wrapped it around her nightgown before stepping out. The sunrise had just begun and Katherine seemed to have craved the fresh air.As she was making her way out of the living quarters, she passed by Lady Morgan's study and heard voices."This is outrageous! You cannot and will not come onto my land and demand for me to abide by the wishes of what? A sorcerer? My answer is no and will stay no!" A voice Katherine recognized all too well, shouted.What's going on? Katherine thought. She could hear Lady Morgan all the way from the corridor. Who would make such demands, enough to warrant her shouting?Lady Morgan has always been known for her calmness. Although Lady Morgan had n

In the Cyrene Kingdom, the town of Neim, near the Neim border two men prepared for their departure."We should be heading back to Eraregord, they've been expecting you," Llewellyn Charter, the captain of the C.L. Charter said to the man beside him, General Lucian Williams.They've delayed their stay at Neim long enough, the general thought to himself. The royal court sent out a letter requesting his presence for the arrival of the next queen. However, in the general's eyes, his expectations for the girl were low.Seeing as the only other commanding position higher than the general was the King, his mother, Queen Orizelle, was fond of tampering with the cardinal, in an attempt to upgrade her son's status.Orizelle wanted to keep the throne in her family. She hoped that tampering would deem the entity unfit to choose the next successor, forcing the throne to remain with her family, even after her reign is over.Although Lucian, her son, never agreed

--Approaching the Castle, Center of Eraregord, Sunset--"How does it feel to be back General Williams?" Llewellyn smirked almost knowingly, Lucian instantly knew he was talking about Victoria.Lucian had assumed a position in the Kingdom's military and worked his way up the ranking to where he is now. The only ranking higher than that of a general was the king.When Lucian became the general he was assigned to a mission near the infernal valleys as per his mother's request, conveniently taking him away from Victoria at the time they were to be wed.Lucian's mother had her own personal reasons and vendetta for not wanting Victoria to be her daughter in law and in her sick twisted way, she was right.Lucian turned his head slightly and spoke with a blank expression, "Victoria is no longer my concern."Before Llewellyn had a chance to respond, the carriage stopped and the guards surrounding the gate of the capital city verified

--Before the General's Arrival, The Castle - Left Wing, Living Quarters--"The General will arrive soon and until the General arrives, attend to Miss Katherina. Take her around the castle, most especially help her settle down." Lord Killian said to the maid that was assigned to take care of Miss Katherine.Katherine stirred as she heard a familiar voice speak, her head was throbbing due to her bumping her head on the carriage door. It felt slightly better due to the ice around her forehead.She could hear footsteps approach her but Katherine's futile attempts to pretend to be sleeping didn't fool the maid as the girl said, "Milady, I know you're awake,"Katherine's eyes slowly swung open to see a young girl with dark brown eyes smiling at her. "My name is Lily, Lord Killian asked me to tend to your well being-,""Wait," Katherine said abruptly, interrupting the young maid. She began to feel bad at her sudden outburst so she smiled

--The Nydisian Kingdom, The Castle, The Royal Court--"How does it feel to be King?" Llewellyn half-joked as he and Lucian walked through the halls of the royal court of Nydisia.The crown had now been officially passed unto Lucian until the girl, Katherina Daventin, ascends the throne. "Is it supposed to feel any different?" Lucian queried his friend, with his eyebrow that raised perfectly.Lucian smirked knowingly. Before and after becoming King of Nydisia, the entire kingdom has always been under his rule. The only difference is that with the crown his rule is absolute.Llewellyn chuckled while shaking his head as they walked through one of the entrances of the gardens that connected the court and the palace. "You know the people would prefer it this way,""And what way is that?" Lucian had a fair idea of what the people wanted.Llewellyn frowned as he turned to look Lucian in the eye under the scorching hot sun. He stopp

Those that hoped to gain his favour, continued to seek it. And those that hoped to be his wife, were more determined than ever now that he was King."Oh, you don't have to be rude about it, Macie. I'm merely pointing out that if he was to be wed, it wouldn't be with someone that can't fit into her newly made corsets," Lady Murie retorted while placing her teacup back on her tray.The woman who went by the name Lady Macie was fuming at Lady Mur

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Royal Academy--Courtesy of Lucian, who had gone back to the castle two days, he had Llewellyn organize and go through the participants of the tournament, leaving Katherine in Llewellyn's care until he returned. Katherine, however, was partially glad she didn't have to see or speak with Lucian for some time.She walked into the private dining hall that was on a higher floor than the main dining hall. The sun shone through the large glass montage and glowed up the entire private room.Immediately, Katherine noticed the eight people seated across the dining table. Llewellyn mentioned to her that he had made arrangements for her to remain out of sight from the majority of those that schooled here.Little did Katherine know that most of the people seated in front of her were related to the royal family one way or another.Katherine tried not to let the number of red eyes in the room frighten her as sh

--The Nydisian Kingdom, The Castle, The Royal Court--"My King," The guards bowed as Lucian walked through the halls of the royal court and the gates that lead to the castle opened in his wake.Lucian had left Llewelyn to handle matters at the academy for a few days. His return to the castle was going to be very brief as he would need to select recruits soon.He had changed into a King's attire and his hair was slicked back neatly as always, except for one strand that rested slightly below his eyebrow.His footsteps echoed in the marble halls as he pushed both doors of the royal court and sat down on the throne. Those that were in the room bowed respectfully and in awe of their current leader."Milord, based on the constable's report, the magistrates of Sareweth sent in a report of several witches practicing magic that has been unaccounted for," the herald said.Ever since the old era witches were allowed to use magic but on

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Royal Academy--"Dane, comprise a list of your best students and have them submit their names to be before tomorrow at noon," Lucian ordered as he took a seat in the headmaster's study.Dane was a tall yet lean man with olive skin tone and piercing red eyes, the colour eyes most vampires seemed to have."Consider it done, Milord. Do you still wish to hold the tournament?" The headmaster, Dane, asked. His Highness had sent word to him a few days ago that he'd be arriving in a week's time to gather the academy's best as well as strongest fighters."Yes, we'll take them based on ranking but make it quick, I can't stay here for long." Dane nodded in understanding before leaving the room to tell one of his subordinates to get started on the announcement to the students.When Dane left the room, Lucian turned to Llewellyn and spoke, "More and more people are starting to believe the throne has been corru
Tales of the Throne Chapter 18: Wikerstone Siblings
--The Nydisian Kingdom, Country of Eraregord, The Castle--A nicely built carriage came to a halt at the gates of the royal court. Lady Victoria glanced out of the vehicle wondering what was causing the hold-up.Part of Victoria was excited she'd get to see the General again. She wore her finest silk and made sure she looked undeniably beautiful just for him."Name?" One of the guards asked in doubt. The King had explicitly informed them that no one outside the castle should be let in until he arrives."Wikerstone," The coachman said while calming the horses with one of his hands.The guard was well aware of the Wikerstone family, they were very highly valued to the throne but he didn't want to risk offending the new ruler. "Apologies but under direct orders from the King, no one is allowed through the gates," The guard said.Upon hearing this Lady Victoria turned red out of anger. How dare they? She thought. She opened the

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Othes Forest--Katherine could feel the warm breeze of the summer sun brush against her skin.She was slightly awake but her eyes remained closed. She began thinking of what Lucian and her talked about last night and truthfully, she was genuinely worried.Worried that she was supposed to rule a kingdom full of all these creatures yet she was nothing but ordinary.When she first arrived at the castle a week ago, she was adamant about returning home but the more time she spent at the castle, unknowingly the need to stay there grew.Katherine was still dazed with sleep but the sound of gnawing skin kept disturbing her sleep. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw Lleweelyn feeding on what looked like a deer.There was something in the way he fed that frightened her. His eyes were filled with hunger and with blackness and only the rim of his natural red eye colour could be seen.Katherine s
Tales of the Throne Chapter 15: Creatures Under the Sea
--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Othes Forest--Katherine remained silent not knowing what to say in regards to what Lucian had revealed about his mother.It was more or less a realization of why the kingdom is as it is and why Daniel wanted Lucian branded with the royal crest to ensure his loyalty.It was no secret that his mother was beheaded, the entire kingdom was still in shock of what had happened.They continued to bask in the silence that wrapped around the thick air. "What about the sea creatures you told of?" Katherine asked, cutting the silence in half.As a child, the only thing that would bring Katherine comfort was storytelling and as she grew up she became more intrigued by novels and the writings of experts.To Katherine, stories were a kind of safe place where her imagination could run as wild and as free as it pleases.Lucian leaned forward and Katherine began to adjust where she was seated until s
Tales of the Throne Chapter 14: Knowledge Acquired, Debt Paid
--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Othes Forest--Katherine looked up to see his red eyes staring into the fire. It wasn't until now that she noticed the slight scar on his lip. It was a thin line that crossed on the very edge of his upper lip.As if knowing what she was staring out he looked down and caught her gaze. She quickly averted her gaze and looked to where Llewellyn was once standing as he walked into the forest.Lucian was still seated calmly behind her with his back against one of the trees and with her seated directly in front of him, her back to his chest.Being unable to bear the silence, Katherine finally spoke, "Tell me a story,""Milord," She quickly added wanting to remain respectful.His already deep voice was low and sounded like a hum, "You have to be more specific than that, do you wish to hear about the tales of the creatures below sea level or the creatures that plague the earth realm,"Kather
