The White Veil
The news..
The knights were on their guard, ready to fight till their last breath
the palace gates were shut.. the Kingdom was burning down to ash
The castle that stood high up on the hill looked like a fantasy world that was vanishing in the black cloud
A woman with the white vail on her head covering her face stood in the balcony of the throne hall looking at the ruin
gazing at the burning kingdom she waited for the news
Pair of hands wrapped her waist.. she leaned back resting her head on the man's chest
Mathew
Is this what u wished for?
Vivian
No, my wishes r yet to be fulfilled
Caleb who entered the hall called out his sister who was lost in her thoughts
she turned around with anticipation
the news she wanted to hear is finally here
Caleb
the arrow.. the poisoned arrow stuck his heart.. the war has come to an end.. The Emperor of this kingdom Solis.. is no more
The silence took over the scene for few seconds
Worried Caleb looked at his sister who didn't move a inch
The corner of her lips went up.. her eyes started wandering around.. the maniac laugh echoed in the hall
That was when Caleb understood that the innocent smile of the little sister he adored has been gone for a long time now
The orphaned royals
The crowd in black contradicted the white marble hall
As the priest prayed for the dead, the nobles made their way towards the man who looked peaceful in the coffin
¿¿¿
Can't believe the sun of this empire is no more
???
It is said that he was so devastated by his noble consort's death that he decided to kill himself
???
(whispers) it is said he hanged himself last night
it was not like a secret as it was quite evidentiary, since it was just 3 days ago the Noble Consort Hana passed away due to terminal illness
The children who were now orphan walked in making the crowd buzz like the bees whose hive was attacked
¿¿¿
The noble Consort's children r here
???
(pitiful) poor kids.. they just attended their mother's funeral days ago and now their father's
¿¿¿
Father? (mockingly) If his majesty ever acknowledged them then yes, sure he is their father
The Twins who were 18 held their little 13-year-old sister's hand while their younger brother who was 15 followed them with lilies in his hand
Few pitied them.. Few mocked them.. the intention of the kingdom's subject was not just for giving respect to their dead Emperor was clear by their murmurs
None of the siblings had change in their expression.. no sorrow, no concern.. condolence was no where found
They walked towards The Empress and her son Victor who stood by the coffin
Dylan
Ur highness <bows>
Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss
Portia
For the loss?.. <glares> all coz of a woman who was not even loyal to him... if it wasn't for ur mother he wouldn't have--
Victor
<holding her shoulder> Mother.. please calm down
Vivian
It was his Majesty's decision to take his own life.. Blaming our mother who is already dead is not the good way to cope with the loss
Portia
<grinding her teeth> You--
Dylan
<intervenes> We will take our leave now ur highness <bows>
Portia's eyes were fixed on Vivian who with her cold gaze made her uncomfortable
Noble consort : the emperor's higher ranking concubine... The title was given to women who ranked second to the Empress in the imperial harem
Royals with no royal blood
Dylan
u really had to voice ur thoughts Vivian?
Vivian
I apologize big broth--
Rafe
What wrong did she say? Why must she apologize for being honest?
Dylan
Rafe! this is not the time for courage and honesty.. do u not understand our situation?
Rafe
<stands up in anger> what situation brother? Has it ever been different?
We will be called the illegitimate children of the noble consort.. The royals who don't even have royal blood flowing in them
we r not even the illegitimate child of the Emperor (sneer)
(mumbles) whom did she even have affair with
Rafe's cheek turned red.. he spit the blood before wiping the corner of his lips
Caleb who was worried took his steps towards his brothers whom Vivian stopped
Dylan
another word from ur mouth and the nxt funeral would be urs
I understand ur frustration.. all of us have been through the same.. being treated wrongly coz of appearance... but don't let that question ur own ppl Rafe
The noble Consort Hana was a beauty with blue eyes and long hair of the color which was unusual- white..
The Emperor loved her with all his heart.. he considered her as his ONLY wife until she gave birth to the twins...
The twins were born with black hair.. The Emperor was devastated by the children appearance
None of his ancestor had black hair which was considered ominous..
he refused to acknowledge the children as his
and the same repeated for the third time...
The siblings were called the illegitimate children of the Concert.. the royals with no royal blood
Caleb
We are going to be thrown out of the palace?
Caleb who in anxious was biting his lips looked at his brothers expecting them to say he was wrong
Rafe
It could be great if that is all we r going to face
Caleb
wha-what do u mean brother?
Dylan
sigh... He is just exaggerating Caleb.. don't worry big brother will find a way
The simple question from the youngest made Dylan doubt himself..
Vivian
Now that mother who was protecting us and the father who never acknowledged us r gone.. we will be killed soon by the Empress, won't we?
Name :Hana
