TordTom//Pretty Boy

~Prologue~

"King Tord. They're waiting."

A short lady with gray hair and a cane was standing at the door of a grand room.

In the middle of the room stood a man clothed in white. His honey brown hair was slicked back with a golden circlet nestled atop it. Rubies and pearls were threaded into his silken garments along with embroidered gold.

He fiddled with one of his cuffs and smirked.

"Thank you, Cathrine."

The maids fussing over the man parted to let him walk to the wall length window.

"Are you sure that's all them?"

"Of course, your majesty." A redhead maid answered him. "All of the eligible workers."

"Splendid. Push them back so I can stand."

"Right away, your majesty."

The maids scampered out of the room as Tord adjusted his cloak, the snow leopard fur tickling his neck.

The doors were hauled open as he slowly walked down the hall.

People stared and talked among themselves about the rumours surrounding the king of the Dernoitan kingdom.

He kept his silence and calm demeanour until the red curtains of the balcony were drawn. He strode up to the railing before smirking and tipping his crown back.

"Let the trials begin!"
