"The Queen is sick." A gravely voice spoke silencing the mild chatter in the dining hall. "It is believed the same illness too take our late sire and late princess"
"It always happens after the Cordial!!" A woman screamed
"Oh goddess. The poor princess has no family left. The throne is hers now. She doesn't even have an advisor." A man cried
"Silence!" The same voice hissed. "This is for the Council too decide. Return too you're meals then gather in the Valcan hall. The Queen is expected to pass soon. The coronation must happen now"
The man walked out and the mild chatter began again.
Instead of unconventional subjects and matters, it was of the fate of The Dark.
Every year after the Cordial a member of the royal family died .
First it was the sire of The Dark: Raymond.
Then the youngest princess: Madeline
Now the great Queen: Diana.
It's all up too Princess Seraph now.
Will she succeed... Or befall the same fate as her once great family.
