My name is Istoria Ember and I wish I was just killed by the king of Lamarren.
Now that's not to say I'm ungrateful for being the princess of the lovelace. But I've lost so many people. More than 12 years ago now a man known as King Reginald killed my mother and father while simultaneously taking away me and my people's freedom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Queen Infernum of the Lovelace. You are hereby arrested and to be killed on the spot for high treason. Including starting an uprising and breaking the sacred rule your father made.”
The Queen smiled.
“Unless you revoke your rights to having Ajutor Star as your husband you are to be killed on the spot.”
The Queen took a deep breath as she set both of her children down off of her throne.
“Istoria, Juno. go find your father.”the Queen said.
As Juno walked out of the room Istoria stayed.
“Honey, go find your dad.” Istoria stayed planted where she was.
“Mommy? Why are they here?”
The little six year old didn't know what death was or meant yet. So she was confused as to why they had their swords drawn. Were they going to put on a show for her mother?
“They're here to take care of me. Now go.”
Not expecting her daughter to disobey the Queen turned to the guards.
“I refuse to say that Ajutor is anything less than he is. He is the king of the Lovelace, Father of my children, and my husband.”
She stood.
“And I'd rather spend one life with him than a thousand with someone else.”
The guards moved towards her and she stepped off of her throne. Spotting her daughter still standing there.
“Istoria. Go. now.”
The Queen walked solemnly across the throne room to the guards walking towards her.
“Kneel” one guard said.
“A Queen is kneeling but kneels to no one.”
“Kneel.” the Guard said again.
“I kneel to my own people. You two.” she directed her words to the guards in their armor.
“Have betrayed us. I will not kneel for you. You can kill me where i stand”
The girl watched in horror as the guard's sword. Touched her mothers flesh.
“Then prepare for death Infernum.”
“I've been prepared for this my whole life, Apollo. I just didn't expect death to come for me as my best friend.”
The guard with the sword against the Queen's throat paused. Then took his helmet off.
“Halfborn humans shouldn't exist with the Lovelace. You knew that. We could have run away together. I loved you.” The Halfborn Blaze’s eyes burned a fiery orange. He began to glow.
“We could have had a life together. But you ran to him. Not to me. Why not to me? Your friend. Who you've known since we were small.”
The Queen held her head high.
