Past 1.
This story took place during the period, when mythical creatures, monsters, power crystal, magician were a thing.
But due to the shortage of power crystals, monsters have grown invasive. Humans have to fight against them to control their population and to protect them selves.
This kingdom that I live in is controlled by the Royal family of [Arnold].
The three ⚜ represent the three Dukedom of this kingdom.
The kingdom has three major Dukedom [ Rosedale Dukedom, Ericsson Dukedom and Throne Dukedom ]
It is important for these three Dukedom to support the Royal family so that they can control the kingdom.
I am Jeanette, I was originally an illegitimate child of the Rosedale Duke after he had an affair with his maid.
I was born out of wedlock and my birth mother died giving birth to me. The Duke Rosedale was generous enough to not kill me right after my birth, or so I thought...
My life was a living hell, I was treated like an animal in Rosedale. I used to do heavy work and only got to eat ones a day.
Even though I was his child, he treated me like a maid and didn't care for me, my other half siblings were treated with care and I wasn't.
But I still tried to remain strong, and used to tell my self that my good days will also come, and it did!
One month before my 19th birthday, people around me suddenly started to treat me well. I was given 3 hot meals a day and my work load was also decreased.
I thought that God has finally listened to my prayer because it was to good to be true.
But it all came down hills when I turned 19. Because the Duke suddenly called for me and told me that, he had arranged my marriage with the Duke of Throne.
I was devastated, knowing that I have to marry someone against my will and on top of that it the Duke of Throne Dukedom.
He was known to be a tyrant, rumours has it that he was ruthless, brutal, and heartless. He was a warlord as he can easily kill an army alone.
And above all he has a curse upon him self which gave him enormous powers and the result of this powers can be easily seen in wars.
He is thirsty for blood and kill. But with powers their is also a down point of this, as they die young.
Most descendent of Throne can't live past 30. That's why they need to produce an heir immediately after they turn adult.
The young women's don't want to get married to the Duke Throne due to the rumours as they fear for their life's.
That is why the Royal family ordered the Duke of Rosedale to marry his daughter to the Duke of Throne.
But instead of giving his legitimate daughters he decided to give me, and the Royal family agreed to it.
I had no say in this matter and after I turned 19 they deported me to the Throne Dukedom.
On my way I was constantly being monitored by guards so I don't kill myself.
And when I reached there I was immediately married to him the next day and the day after that my so called 'husband' left for war...
In those three days I was in constant fear and was trembling the whole time. But my days of fear were over.
As he didn't came back for the next three years and my new found life was really better than my old one.
