His Royal Princess
His Royal Princess
The king and queen of Nova Imperium stood before the royal Priestess
A woman who had the power to connect to gods, predict the future, and a very, very powerful priestess whom even the royal family respected.
Her prophecies always turned out to be the truth, she held a high position in the kingdom.
Royal Priestess
Your second child carries immense divine power, I can feel it flowing through her veins.
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
What does this mean?
Royal Priestess
It means, your majesty, the child carries the power of the holy saint.
Octavia Elle Aldridge
My daughter?
Royal Priestess
Your daughter is the reincarnation of the divine saintess. Her birth has blessed the kingdom, today's the day everything shall change.
Royal Priestess
Everyone's well-being relies on her
The couple took a look at the baby laying in the cradle
She giggled and clapped her hands in excitement upon seeing the faces of her parents
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
:Smile:
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
Alexi
A man with white hair that shined brighter than the light, eyes sharp enough to pierce anyone's soul and a scar on his face that further defined his finely cut proportional face named Alexi, a loyal subordinate trusted by the king
He bent down on one knee and bowed his head
Alexi Rolcqui
Your majesty
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
Today is the most prosperous day and joyful day for the empire, declare to everyone that my second child, Evengeline Alderidge, daughter of I, King Malcolm Otis Alderidge and Queen Octavia Alderidge is the reincarnation of the saintess
Alexi Rolcqui
:Nods and leaves:
Octavia Elle Aldridge
But your majesty, god forbid, what if someone tried to harm our daughter?
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
We shall train her, she shall receive proper tuition in everything, starting from etiquette, ending with Swordsmanship, she will be powerful
Octavia Elle Aldridge
She's just a baby right now
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
We will protect her until she learns to protect herself
Royal Priestess
Worry not Queen Aldridge, nothing can harm this child
Octavia Elle Aldridge
As you say priestess
The people of Nova Imperium celebrated the day with great joy, a huge banquet was held to announce the name of the baby princess.
And that was how the seed of hope was planted in the minds of everyone, they believed better days were to come.
The prophecy given by the royal Priestess spread everywhere
And hence, the royal princess became a legend among the Nova Imperium
Queen of Octavia Imperium
His Royal Princess
Princess Evengeline stood on the training grounds, her long hair tied back in a braid, and her sword held firmly in her hand. She was determined to master the art of sword fighting, and her teacher, Romon, was equally determined to teach her.
Young Evengeline
:holding her sword:
Romon was a grizzled old veteran with scars crisscrossing his face and arms. He had fought in many battles and had seen his fair share of bloodshed. Despite his rough exterior, he had a kind heart, and he was fiercely loyal to the royal family.
Romon
Are you ready your highness?
Romon asked, his voice gruff but gentle.
Her eyes focused on her teacher. She took a deep breath and began her practice swings, her sword glinting in the sunlight.
Romon watched her carefully, his eyes scanning her movements. He was impressed by how quickly she had progressed in her training. She was a natural with the sword, and he could see the determination in her eyes.
Romon
Good :Nods approvingly:
Romon
Now, strike me again.
Evengeline hesitated for a moment, unsure if she was ready to take on her teacher. But she quickly pushed aside her doubts and lunged forward, her sword aimed at Romon's chest.
Romon parried her attack easily, his sword clanging against hers. He countered with a swift strike, but Evangeline was too quick. She dodged his blow and swung her sword in a wide arc, aiming for his side.
Romon jumped back, narrowly avoiding her strike. He grinned, impressed by her skill.
Romon
You're improving your highness
Romon
But don't let your guard down. Remember, the sword is a deadly weapon. You must always be aware of your surroundings
Evengeline nodded, her chest heaving with exertion. She knew that her training was far from over, but she was determined to become the best sword fighter in the kingdom.
As the sun began to set, Romon dismissed the princess, reminding her to practice what she had learned.
A young girl with glistening silver hair seated at a mahogany table was immensely focused on studying a book in her hands
Young Evengeline
:Eyes scanning the page:
Surrounded by piles of books on politics and governance. She had been studying for hours, poring over ancient texts and treaties, she learnt it all
Young Evengeline
:Brows furrows in concentration;
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she closed the book she had been reading and sighed heavily. She rested her head on the table, feeling a sense of overwhelm wash over her.
Young Evengeline
(I wonder if I really am the saintess?)
The weight of her future responsibilities felt heavy on her shoulders, and she wondered if she would ever be truly prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. For a few moments, she remained still, lost in thought.
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
Eve?
She was so immersed in her thoughts that she never felt a presence walk in on her
Young Evengeline
Your majesty-
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
:Waves his hand in the air: Just call me father while we're alone
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
:Smiles and walks over to her:
Eve didn't look at her, but she kept notice of his steps ascending towards her
Her father lifted his hand and patted her head
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
Take some rest princess
Young Evengeline
I haven't finished the course teacher assigned me to learn
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
It's fine. Your body and health matters more. Now, go rest.
She pushed back the chair, wished her father good night and went to her chambers.
Although the king of Nova Imperium had a reputation that was not so subtle, he always cared for his children. He didn't behave coldly to any of them, didn't have a favorite, yet some felt he favored his only daughter young Evengeline the most
Maybe it was universal, something that connected a father to his daughter was never understandable to outsiders
His Royal Princess
Octavia Elle Aldridge
:Smile:
Upon seeing her mother's smile, Evengeline smiled back lightly
Young Evengeline
Mother, I have a question
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Feel free to ask dear
Young Evengeline
My teacher was teaching me about the imperial laws, and as an example he used an old case about a man that murdered 2 girls
Young Evengeline
The man being named Yong Redilk
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Yes, I have heard of it
Young Evengeline
What do you think led him to do committing those sins?
Octavia Elle Aldridge
There could have been many reasons
Young Evengeline
:Nods: I agree, hence I looked into his life. His father had abused him and his mother
Octavia Elle Aldridge
That is not a good enough reason to justify what he did to the two young lives
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Listen princess, what happened to him changed his mind and possibly his soul. But, he had a choice, a choice where he could choose how to deal with what happened to him, because something bad happened to him doesn't give him a good reason to do something worse to another. He could have chosen to be better person after what happened to him, to be stronger, but he went the wrong way
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Young Evengeline
:Nods: that what happened to you isn't good enough excuse to do something bad to someone else. Be it trauma or anything else.
Octavia Elle Aldridge
:Smiles and pats her head: you understood well my genius princess
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
As expected of our future saintess
The sudden presence of the king startled them both
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
:Smile:
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
How are you doing my queen and princess?
Young Evengeline
We're well father, how's your health?
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
:Waves his hand in the air: it's fine, nothing can make me, the king, weak
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Are you sure about that your highness?
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
:Cough: My queen, you're the strongest of all
Young Evengeline
(Father and mother have a lovely bond...)
Octavia Elle Aldridge
That, I certainly am. 😌
Moral of the story: every king eventually bows to his queen even if he holds more power
Octavia and Malcolm gave the best upbringing to Evengeline, she wanted something? she got it. Yet, that never made her a spoilt brat
Octavia taught her life manners, something you wouldn't learn in etiquette.
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Be grateful for what you have. Appreciate what others do for you, and never be greedy
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Never, EVER, let anyone disrespect you. You carry the name of Aldridge with you, you are our princess, a princess doesn't bow Infront of anyone other than the king and queen, keep that in mind.
Octavia Elle Aldridge
The only person that can control your mind is YOU. Your decisions and thoughts depend upon you, don't let your emotions fool you. A princess is level headed and sharp, think wisely.
Octavia Elle Aldridge
Be considerate of people around you, those who love you are your family, blood makes us family, but love makes you a real family, without love, a family doesn't exist.
Young Evengeline
Mother, father, brothers and I love each other
Octavia Elle Aldridge
:Smile: yes, we're a real family
Octavia Elle Aldridge
But your friends are also family
Octavia Elle Aldridge
When someone disrespects you, punish them.
Octavia Elle Aldridge
if it's not possible, let it go. People treat others how they want to be treated, if someone treats you badly, let them be. Their poisonous mind shall eventually be the end of them.
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
:Pats her head and kisses her forehead:
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
Sleep well my princess
Young Evengeline
:Sleeping:
Alexi Rolcqui
Why are we visiting the princess's room late at night?
Malcolem Otis Alderidge
I wanted to see her before I had to leave for the border
Malcolm and Octavia loved Evengeline and her siblings
Together with being a good king and queen they were great parents
The didn't neglect their children and paid attention to them
They showered them with love and affection, and held more for each other
