Many years have passed and the Blackheaven family blood passed on and on. Right after Dougran Blackheaven, Edward Ebenezer Blackheaven was born. Then Grissel, Edward’s wife gave birth to her son named Gregory Danforge Blackheaven. One day, a shameful event happened in the Blackheaven family. Gregory and his wife, Mary Ferrinor Blackheaven were accused of treason. It was said that they stole gold from the king of Yzalord. So, to protect their names they asked a private lawyer from the court to clear their names and erase the name Blackheaven in the Royal Court and turn it into Whitewing. Soon, all of Yzalord forgot the name Blackheaven after Gregory placed cursed bombs in all of Yzalord’s cities. And from then on, the name Whitewing was used by the Blackheaven family.  

Seventy-five years passed, a royal couple named Montgomery Hearstsoft Marmaduke and Luciana Goldpepper Whitewing gave birth to a beautiful girl which the couple named Hildegard Marmaduke Whitewing. The baby named Hildegard was born beautiful and none could compare to her beauty. Every person in the kingdom of Yzalord, from the lowest state of the community to the highest state, came to see Hildegard. Happiness has been brought up in the kingdom and peacefulness was in Yzalord for a very long time. After many months of harmony and blissfulness in the kingdom, a war was suddenly launched by the Empire of Stravarda and from that moment on, peace has already been conquered by their empire.

The King and Queen sent a spy, to the empire of Stravarda. The spy that the queen herself wants to do the job is the best one she ever had in Yzalord. But the spy was very difficult to be reached because his home was in a very remote place in the city of Mandrakenum where all plants and trees are found. Because of their difficulties in finding the spy, Queen Luciana became problematic and stressed and she needs enough time before anything happens. Though the queen is a descendant of the Blackheaven family, she hasn’t discovered yet that the gift is in her blood. For three days, she’d already sent her duke and spokesperson to look for the spy, which is named Ethelwulf. Ethelwulf’s home is almost inaccessible that no one in the city save himself could spot it where it stood on the ground.

The queen became worried, since her daughter Hildegard was still so young. Queen Luciana’s anxiousness did not thrive in her for long, for on the night when she was concentrating hard to hatch a new plan,  She had unconsciously pointed her hand at a glass and her emotions flowed and from her pointing hand, power struck the glass, breaking it into pieces. Luciana thought for one moment that it was an accident or a lost pellet that caused the glass to break. In fact, she was surprised about what had happened. She remembered the moment she looked at it with her eyes concentrating hard.

“Oh! What a disaster, one of my very elegant elfin glasses just broke.” Queen Luciana said in surprise. “What a waste of things. My wineglass broke and it was such a primitive glass when it comes to nobles like me.”

 The queen then left her gold-encrusted tables and chairs and collected the shattered pieces with her own bare hands, and slowly went to the trash transporter, carefully holding the broken elfin glass in her gentle and soft hands.

The castle’s royal butler, Sir Humpkins saw the queen throwing the broken glass and hurriedly approached her.

            “Good evening Your Highness, it’s good to see you in the castle’s corridors.” He bowed and paid respect before her.

Then the queen replied to him in a simple but nobly way. “Good evening to you too, Sir Humpkins, it’s also nice to see you around!”

Queen Luciana smiled at him beautifully and Sir Humpkins fixed his bowtie and sweated a little.

“Your Highness, aren’t you supposed to ring for me when such a thing happens?” He indicated the broken glass in the transporter.

The queen smiled at him and said, “It was actually nothing, George.”
