Lady Cassandra and young Master Caruso, those from the Peacock Harpy’s Royaly, had been the next pair out of the dining room, once the drunken Lord Fielder had left, – being supported by the young tawny he was supposed to be chaperoning.
Now and again, small bubbles of giggles and chuckles would surface, from their lungs to their lips.
Usually, Master Caruso did not get on well with his mother. Especially surrounding the topic of wanting a mate who was not a peacock. He thought beige was boring and refused to marry a woman who… was just plainly and blatantly boring.
Initially, Lady Cassandra had taken no issue with this. It was well known, and widely accepted among all of the harpy Clan’s, that peacock males had a vanity like no other. Requiring absolute beauty within their mates.
It was because of precisely this, that the P

Council of Owls & Code of Conduct The last group of Harpy to leave the dining room, following the late lunch and both Seraphina and Lady Nox, the Raven Queens’ departure to continue the obligations that came with her ruling a Kingdom as a widowed Queen, was the Eurasian Eagle Owl Harpy. As they walked up the corridor; the group turned in the direction of their room, around several more turns and a few doors up. It did not seem to take long and the brothers were in high spirits – slightly tipsy after a few glasses of the blood wine themselves. Not enough that they had almost complete loss of bodily functions. Such as that, they had witnessed, of Lord Fielder. Who was supposed to be chaperoning Master Fenn, had ended up having to use the young owlet as a crutch to get him back to his room after several goblets of the blood wine, too many.

Chapter 25. A Shifter's Mark The Raven Kingdom was not one that was known for its warmth, or its sun for that matter. Situated in a more northern part of the continent the blistering winds of the three mountains had a bite to it. The sky while lit with clouds earlier, was now beginning to dull – more than its usual level of dullness anyway. This was how, most, of the Royal guest from the other Clan’s perceived it anyway. They all felt it was still quite early. Too early for the light to already be fading from the sky, and fading so fast too. While the various guests had left the late lunches by now: Some now asleep, passed out or garnering beauty sleep. Others exploring the castle or, such as Lord Easton – drafting letters to his mate. The Eurasian Queen. Sephora remained, still, in the Noble District. Having now, s

After Sephora had, what she believed for the most part, gotten over her mother issues - deriving from lack of attention and affection that her sister always seemed to receive from her- the younger twin had kicked back and realised the two tier favouritism may actually be a good thing for her. While she seemed innocent and childlike as a defence, and these days, a default. She had indulged herself once or twice with various servants. Only those she deemed to be of her tastes and her own aesthetic; being so imperfect with her pale eyes, she never imposed such strict conditions on anyone she deemed fit to pleasure her. Of course the Raven Queen knew nothing about this and were she ever to find out…. The mere thought of that

Lurking Lust Caruso had ensured that his exit from the room was quiet and soft enough so as not to disrupt his mother, Lady Cassandra the Peacock Queen's, beauty sleep – just as she had begun to drift off. As it was supposed to be, a late breakfast was delayed to a late lunch. All due to Princess Sephora, who had never bothered to even show up in the end. This was a sentiment mutually shared by all those who had arrived. Already the younger princess had earned a flakey reputation, but it wasn't unfixable at this point. As it was pushed back to a late lunch, it had disgruntled Lady Cassandra, in the being so close to her evening beauty rest. No matter the reason

She backed away again, but this time the back of her calves bumped into the edge of a low long chair and with a yelp that she could not help. Servant girl, Auro fell backward onto it. Her servant uniform, a grey checkered dress, flipped up and revealed lacy black underwear. "Oh, now that…." The Peacock Prince purred, "…that is an excellent position for you, isn't it?" As he grabbed the back of the couch closest, in a place most relative to her legs with the hand which had just been on his throbbing member. He ran that hand up one of the dark grey stockings at her thighs; i

Where he would formally pitch the benefit of a union between one, if not both, of her daughter’s and his son’s. Loris and Lucas had used their supply up and taken them to the Royal baths where they had decided to have an enjoyable and leisurely soak. Where they were reviewing their thoughts on Seraphina as a potential mate and the Raven kingdom as a whole; how the lunch introductions had went? The Eurasian King had waited patiently for his towels for a while now, but the light of day was all but gone from the grey skie – now as dark as it would get. The lantern’s in his room had flickered on with a strange dark coloured flame, a magic that the Raven’s used to lig

Chapter 30. Madness in the Music Room In one smooth and swift sweep into the music room, Master Fenn had assessed the entire predicament and his now unfurled wings, of mottled brown, curtained the raven servant from him. The rage visibly came to the surface of Master Caruso’s, the Peacock Prince’s, face. His erect and hard member was still very clearly out of his trousers. The Princes face became so red with rage, that it contrasted oddly with the blue and green of his hair, “That servant was tending MY needs.” He spat at the bold and younger tawny Prince. Behind the curtain of mottled wings, the blue hued servant girl curled into a fatal position. Her sobs now audible as there was no reason to hid them anymore. Master Caruso hadn’t yet recognised that there was a small crowd at the door, who were watching this scene as it occurred. A

To Sephora’s surprise, Maven’s sister had turned out to be Ingram’s mate. This was the reason that she often came by and visited after work. Dropping in any leftover food that wasn’t eaten from that day. However, Raven Princess Sephora sitting in Doctor Ingram’s home while it wasn’t the largest and most surprising piece of news for either sister, the werewolf unconscious in human form, laying in the surgery was. Ingram’s mate instantly freaked out and began screaming at him to get it out of the house, all before she locked eyes with Sephora. Who was sitting, looking innocent as she ever? Maven, the old housekeeping of Royal's castle, remained neutral and just watched the commotion for a few minutes before yelling. “QUITE!” Her eyes met Sephora’s icy blue eyes, like the old and kind king’s.

Chapter 48: The Unravelling The sun hung high over the rolling meadows of the Peacock Kingdom, casting a golden hue that shimmered like jewels across the landscape. Caruso, the second prince, stood on the balcony of his opulent chamber, gazing out at the vast expanse of greens and golds, his mind swirling with thoughts darker than the shadows cast by the fluttering peacocks below. For too long, he had been a mere pawn in the grand game of royalty, but today, he felt the stirrings of true ambition. “Solomon,” he called, his voice dripping with a mixture of excitement and unease. The advisor entered swiftly, his broad build filling the doorway. Solomon was a Eurasian Eagle Owl harpy, tall and mountainous in stature, with feathers that glinted like polished wood under the sunlight. His presence was commanding, a stark contrast to Caruso’s more delicate frame, yet it was the wiry strength of the advisor that had often proven invaluable. “Your Highness,” Solomon bowed slightly, his e

He was strikingly handsome, with olive skin and dark hair that framed his face, while his stubble was evolving into a full beard. Sephora, the youngest princess and the daughter of the Raven Queen, approached this hidden prisoner, a secret unknown to her family. As Sephora settled into the ornate chair nearby, a wave of drowsiness washed over her. The effects of the enchanted atmosphere began to take hold swiftly. Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged before her, drawing her attention. "What do you desire?" she asked, her curiosity mingling with a hint of authority. "I am Nikolas, and I demand my freedom from these binds," the figure replied in a deep, strained voice. "And I am not your toy. You can not control me." She smirked, undeterred by his resistance. "I have come to offer you ecstasy in your shackles. Whether you li

Chapter 46: A Walk Through the GardenAfter the breakfast, calling on Sephora, Maven suggested they take a walk through the noble quarters gardens. As the Raven palace did not have its own, it surrounded on all sides by steep cliffs.Sephora was hesitant at first, but Maven assured her that it would be a good opportunity to clear her head and get some fresh air.Maven's once black hair was now mostly grey, with strands of salt and pepper running through it. Her hair was still long and silky, falling in cascading waves down her back, but thcolouror gave her a more mature appearance. Despite this, Maven still had a youthful glow about her, with smooth, unblemished skin and a slender figure. Her Raven wings, too, had aged, with feathers losing their glossy sheen.In contrast, Sephora's hair was jet black and perfectly straight, reaching down to her hips. Her hair was her crowning glory, and she took great care to maintain it. Her wings were also a jet black, much like her mother's, and th

Chapter 45: The Prince Peacock & PawnThe Peacock Prince, Caruso, was obsessed with the idea of having a mate that was so different from himself; not one that came from the same vibrance in colour and culture as him, or worse... dull, boring beige with personalities to match. Just like the female harpy of the Peacock Clan.Caruso had dreamed of a Raven or Dove as a mate for a long time at this point. With their sleek black oe white feathers, to complete his vision of perfection. The thought of having a partner that did not contrast his vibrant plumage was simply unacceptable to him. He had become so fixated on this idea that it had turned into a dangerous obsession.He spent his days and nights obsessing over the Raven Princess because of this. The idea of a Dove mate thrown away upon learning that the Raven Queen was accepting noble and royal bachelors for her to consider for her daughter's mates.After learning this, Caruso studdied up on any information he could get about the Rave

As a member of the Raven Clan, Sephora had never had the opportunity to interact with the Tawny Kingdom's royals before. She was excited to learn more about their culture and traditions.When Sephora arrived at the Tawny Kingdom's palace, she was greeted by Kavan himself. He was dressed in a formal tunic that matched the colours of his Clan's coat of arms. Sephora couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked."Welcome, Sephora," Kavan said, offering her his arm. "I'm so glad you could make it.""Thank you for inviting me," Sephora replied, feeling a little nervous.As they walked through the palace's ornate halls, Kavan began to tell her about the Tawny Kingdom's history and customs. Sephora listened intently, fascinated by the differences between their two Clans. She had always known that the Tawny

Chapter 43: Reliable Allies After breakfast with Sephora, Prince Kavan seemed to be delighted to discover that she was even more gorgeous than her sister. However, the event with the cured fish that prompted her to gag forced him to remain to ever have reservations regarding her etiquette and suitability for a mate. His mate. Kavan arrived at the realisation that he ought to make the best of the prospect which had been granted to him via the Raven Queen. Boldly seeking out Queen Nox, he solemnly took on the responsibility to enlighten her about the entire incident: The music room was where he saw the criminal peacock assault the young servant harpy, and where he immediately intercede. Queen Nox, who more or less observed the inquiry and verification, eventually came to the conclusion that he was a dependable and trustworthy political ally, herself... who, conveniently, maintained values that were within accordance with the Owl Code of Conduct. This meant that limits within which sh

Chapter 42: A Bittersweet Morning Even yet, Seraphina had no idea what had taken place the previous evening when she awoke the next morning. After devouring such a lavish and extravagant supper, what Prince Caruso tried to accomplish after that was beyond the comprehension of any other royal in attendance. Other, than Lady Cassandra. Thanks to the quick and noble deeds of Prince Kavan, and response of him in informing Lady Nox; she to now knew… yet, could not understand why a guest had acted in such a way. She hadn’t liked him, or the way he spoke. Finding him rude. Yet, she had not expected that he would attempt to commit a crime like that! Here in her Kingdom. Further, right here in the Queen’s own castle! Seraphina knew and anticipated that Sephora would try to slip silently into her room because she had messed up, - big time with their mother. Pleading for Seraphina to use her position as heir and favourite to help convince her mother to go easier on her. To let her away

Chapter 41: Calling on SephoraMaven, who is in charge of the housekeeping for the Raven Royal family, and Lady Nox collaborated in planning a visit to Sephora for breakfast. Young Master Fenn was keen on attending the arrangement. It was not often, that anyone got the blessing of the Raven Queen to Call on either of her daughters. Despite the fact that Maven had informed Sephora, the younger of the Princess twins, that it had to occur before lunch, she firmly believed that she had some leeway in determining when this would actually happen. She obviously didn't. Certainly not when her mother was directly involved but Maven didn't want to ruin the surprise for the bachelorette princess.At the long, dark, ornately carved table with a glass top, Sephora sat facing the entrance to begin trying her first-ever Eurasian breakfast. The flatbread was an odd thing to her, as was each dip, but if the chef was sure the honey and date mix would be something her sweet tooth could sink into? Well
