City of Thras
One week beforeThe lights coming from the window kiss the dark room where he am now. Slowly, the hues of darkness was turned into a shining masterpiece of thousands of books piled upwards. Curves of the present furnitures hissed and become more noticeable. The specks of gold that litter on the marble floor shined and shimmer at the first sight of light. Even the velvety maroon walls looked magnificent. It was all looking lovely.
A stark contrast to the gloomy feelings he have harbored in his heart. the emptiness that wallows in the depths and the coldness that surrounds the fragile organ he came to loathe.He sighed, burying himself deeper in the cushioned seat he was sitting. wallowing in the despair he have for the years. the ache. the longing of seeing her beautiful smile.
"Xenoooon!" Marteen’s shrilly voice filled the empty corridor outside his office and the abrupt banging of the door signifies his excitement to what he is abo
Upon seeing the palace on the top of the hill, he felt a shudder lingered through his being. A gnawing feeling resides on his stomach, churning with nervousness on the fact that I am back. here, He was back here again. for her.the carriage sped up along the well worn path that leads to the town just at the foot of the castle. The harbor he knew was still colorful as always. Birds of any kind flew in a distance. some were perching at the top of the merchants' store, observing the busy lives of humans. the heady aroma of the exotic spices clouded his senses, making me closed his eyes and heaved a deep breathe, taking in the smell of foreign lands. Sighing, he look at the people inside the carriage, Peter and the second prince of Verde Oro were busy writing at the piece of parchment paper, Xavier checking his face on that handy vanity he always have, murmuring how attractive he was. The other were on the following carriage that the Ki
"Good morn, young princess" the folks greeted the young child whose merrily skipping her way towards the hill on the northern part from the palace ."Hello, good morning!" Was her giddy reply.The crowd's heart soften at the girl as they look at her with love.The child itself was sweet and love the folks surrounding the palace as she was always outside and mingling with them.It was five years ago when the old monarchs decided to stepped down from the throne and passed it to their second child .For those five years, the folks of Florin was grateful for such understanding king that reigned upon them. Patiently listening to their dilemmas, setting fair judgments and rules that benefit them.Now, seeing the skipping child, they hearts had whisper short prayers of blessings and thanksgiving to the god of man towards the growing family of the monarchs.Hearing rhythmic pit pats of trotting hooves, they looked at the royal carriage.
She was seventeen. Her childish features had longed morphed into a delicately handcraft work of ort her face was flawless a small button like nose, full cherry lips and her well defined brows arched beautifully above her almond shaped golden eyes that has boundless depths of unknown womanly charms, a trace of innocence and a blunt streak of willfulness.One must be intimidated but it was rather pleasing to the eyes to see such beauty with that level of confidence her raven tresses were twisted into a somewhat simple style of a low bun and stray hairs framing her round face. With all that, one must be blind to not be enthralled by the princess' looks.She was a sight. Clad in a pure white morning flowing dress, she was a beautiful one.Utopia was almost skipping as she was coming closer towards their spot on the orchard. A place where they always with each other almost everyday when he visit.Her beau.My Marrion.She was si
The walk towards the royal gardens was spectacular. The dome of the palace was crafted exquisitely. Every chiseled detail was a work of a hard working sculptor. Towards the almost unreachable ceiling, hangs a majestic crystal chandelier glimmers as the sunlight shone into them. The ornaments and blooming flowers graced the eyes of beholder a wonder a blessed their nose with sweet scents. It was beautiful yet the princess mood was foul.Her morning upon waking up was not pleasant, with the face of prince whom she was betrothed pestered her awake and still on her dreams!Thankfully the bags underneath her eyes were hidden by the powder applied to her by the hordes of impudent maids that ruin her sleep.Almost dragging herself all the way towards the garden, she saw a bevy of girls ogling.Utopia scoffed inwardly as she saw what the group has been spying.'Desperate social climbers' she angrily spat inside her head.Their gazes were fixed
The silence between them was awkward. Sitting face to face with only steaming cups of tea in between them, Utopia thought hard of why does this mongrel wanted to talk to her.‘Can we talk?’That phrase was eating her patience as the minute ticks off and this piece of man had yet to open his mouth to state whatever things he wanted to spew."Eherm"'What a fake.'It was the first sentence that pops on her mind when she heard that forced cough coming from him. Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Utopia trained her eyes to him."I""I""You go first""You go first..."The words felt synchronous that their face were red when their eyes met. The tension that engulf them was almost suffocating."This princess wants to know what is your intentions upon inviting me for a cup of tea, your highness?"Utopia was getting edgy with the tensed atmosphere that was drowning all her reservation. She need
Utopia was angry. Angry at him for saying trash. Angry to herself as she felt the blooming hope inside her heart after hearing his words.‘Grant us a second chance?! Is he out of his mind!! He does not have any conscience at all!’Her thoughts were full of ways of how to kill that weasel who only knew how to torment her.After she had walked out of that stuffy place, Utopia found herself sitting in the secluded corner of the library. The maid who was assigned to clean the area saw her barging inside with such scary face that she almost ran for her life.‘Oh no! ‘The paling servant did not want to go near the glowering princess but she could not just set aside her duty for such erratic fear.Swallowing a lungful of breath, she approach the lady.“ T-this servant would like to ask the princess if she wanted refreshments?” her shaking stupor was visible as Utopia’s dark glare was turned to her.&nb
She was supposedly happy that the kingdom has another banquet. Utopia would again see her kingdom's artistry and talent. She would definitely eat delicacies! But her face was clouded. Her forehead was crumpled. Her stares were blades!The great hall was decorated extravagantly. Velvety drapes were hanging from the walls. The chandeliers were all lit up. It was a majestic sight but she was not happy. Her gaze were trained on the man whom she despised. Her blood was curdling as she thought of what will transpire later after the banquet."What are you pouting about, Utopia?" Her nosy brother asked her. Elysian thought she was being abnormal again as she was not making any sound ever since the celebration started."Why do you care? If I say my woes to you, will you find a solution?" Her voice was cold that Elysian could not help but look at her for the second time.'What is this kind of mood!? Did something happen after she had walk out of the gardens thi
The sun was just about to peak at the horizon on the coast of Florin but the majority of the people who were in charge of the tournament were busy like the bees, hovering and busying themselves in preparing for the morning event after the guest break their fast."Sir Ronan! Is the tapestries we have put up on the moonlight pavilion is to your liking?" A maidservant had asked the head of organizers of the said event."Hmmm, I see it is good! Truly beautiful!" Gushed the man who was nearly bald. After checking the hall where the literary competition who be held, he then proceed to the next area."WHAT IS THIS?!" He hollered. The place was in mess and two old servants are bickering back and forth."Ey! Sir Ronan, this pigheaded here wanted to put blue on the walls! " the one in black robes reported."Hngg!""At least I haven't suggested to put black on it!" The blue robe one had rebutted.The two old servants glared at each other that it
