Jewels Like Fairy Lights

Chapter One: A Guard and a Princess.

The sound of footsteps had filled the hallways as heavy doors swung open to the kings throne room, the royal advisor who went by Ronin stopped in front of the king holding a clipboard in his gloved hand.

Ronin was dressed appropriately in the colours of the Albion Kingdom which consisted of a black waist coat and a white button up shirt beneath it, black pants which were accompanied by a pair of knee high combat boots. A brown leather holster which went over his chest and around his waist, which was where his sword sat snugly.
His long black hair was pulled into a pony tail and his hazel coloured eyes looked at his king. Those long knife shaped ears had two gold cuffs on either side.

"My lord, you'll be happy to hear that prince Eris is going to marry her, his father was quick to agree. He had even said they can get married this Friday." His voice, although deep had a slight bitterness to it as he spoke to the king.

"Hmph, it's about time. Did you-..."

"I had already informed the princess. Although I must say it was good that Eris decided to stay it's extremely beneficial for all of us." The advisor spoke.

The king chuckled a little as he leaned against his hand closing his eyes briefly. "My that daughter of mine is finally going to be of use to me instead of taking up space in the castle... she can't even go to war like Lucien." King Lawon said bitterly.

His silver hair was combed back and being held down by that golden crown he was so fond of. He had a thick beard which was neatly trimmed. Dressed in similar clothes to his advisor but it consisted of gold, white and black.

"My lord, no need to be bitter, she'll produce powerful offspring to the prince and well you'll have one of the most powerful armies on your side." The advisor said rather happily, but there was still that slight hit of bitterness in his words.

"Well I suppo-..." the king was cut off once again, this time by his son and Eris both whom had distressed expressions. Lucien had looked exactly like his father, although he didn't have a beard, his hair was left untouched to frame his face, his gloved hand tight on the hilt of his sword.

Eris, fiery red hair and piercing green eyes which showed little to none emotion. He was dressed in his kingdoms colours which consisted of blue and white.

He is the prince of the Caledonia kingdom was waiting to hear word from his father about the marriage between himself and Selik.

Selik was the daughter of king Sawon Blackwood.
She was by far the most beautiful in all kingdoms, what had set her apart from all other royalty was her eyes.
A condition she had called heterochromic idiris, her left eye was silver blue and her right eye was a green, she had long silver hair which was often braided due to the length.
Her ears were perfect, they had that long slender shape of a knife, often dressed with gold cuffs which connected with chains.

Her skin was caramel in tone, a clear complexion which all had found to be beautiful and a sweet smile to warm anyone's day, although... no one had,really seen her, she had only come out for her birthday for the townsfolk to celebrate it with her.

But she was miserable...

Her guard Shepard was the only one she would ever talk to... he understood her since he too was locked up majority of the time...
