Silence followed us as the queen marched through the crowd, the people parting for her as they sensed her palpable wrath. The only one left obliviously unaware was Lord Alekto. He stood apart, leaning against a large pillar at the edge of the dance floor. His eyes moved over the swirling skirts and fluttering coattails like a hawk. ...
2024-03-30 15:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostGlittering lights and wafting perfumes filled my senses as I followed the Chernov family deeper into the ballroom. Tradition dictated that we had to present ourselves to the royal family before we’d be allowed to mingle and dance. The king and queen sat upon their thrones, propped up on a dais that lifted them above the crowd. You could see th...
2024-03-16 16:02:31 +0000 UTC View PostI was laying on one of the chaise lounges in the library when I woke up, the count and another, older man staring down at me. It took me a moment to remember what happened, but once I had I was flooded with a sense of embarrassment and shame.
"There she is," the older man said. "How are you feeling, my lady?"
I blinked at the older m...
2024-03-02 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostI sighed, turning over a page in one of the many books on Delphaen history that lined the library shelves. Since meeting with Clara all those weeks ago, I'd been pouring over the various texts to try and learn as much about the country I'd been dropped into as I could. There was so little that the game had actively told the player, that it was b...
2024-02-17 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostI, truthfully, wasn't sure what to do. No one really taught you how to 'make friends' other than the unhelpful platitudes of 'be yourself' and 'just put yourself out there'. The Count did the 'putting out there' for me, and now I had a supposed 'friend' standing in front of me. Now, my mind was blank.
The Count tugged at my hand, pulling m...

2024-02-01 23:58:58 +0000 UTC View PostCount Chernov stared down at me, surprise evident on his face. The servant -- the butler, I surmised -- also stared, though his surprised was much more subtle than that of the count's. Then again, perhaps that was simply because his large, salt and pepper beard hid most of his face.
"Elizaveta." My attention was pulled back to the count as...

2024-01-02 01:26:58 +0000 UTC View PostWarm, early morning light caressed my face, my eyelids fluttering against its gentle prodding. The scent of lingering perfume tickled my nose with hints of vanilla and something brightly floral. How odd. I was never really one to wear perfume, nor were any of my friends. I blinked awake, my eyes going wide as I took in the environment around me....

The Queen of Blue knew the prophecy. It was impossible not to in the kingdoms. It seeped into every decision of every person like wine into a gown. No monarch would dare risk their rule by disobeying it.
