Prologue: The Dark Queen.

Prologue: The Dark Queen.

The throne...

Marriage, love, and duty to her kingdom.

The Dark Queen has spent her life doing it all, from the moment she was able to see life within its true colors. Queen Eleanor Rose Alberich was named as such, for it was in her nature to be dark.

Eleanor sees the world in gray, she couldn't see what was the reason why she was made to be this way.

She couldn't feel joy in what she was told to do.

Nobility fighting for power, children being groomed into a desire to marry someone greater of their rank in hopes their wealth flusters.

A Queen needs her King consort.

A third prince from a distant land his kingdom sublime, he wanted the Queen's marriage in hand to expand his influence and power.

"Would you like to have a kingdom free of its corrupt system? Where nobles thrive and commoners stay where they are. I promise to give you such a future, no poverty will come and magic will be the most powerful in your country with my blessing of the spirits."

With his sweet words and actions, he won the court and the heart of its people.

The nobles ate all of his heaven-like promises in making a better future for the kingdom. They all applauded his ideas and ideals immediately wanting him to be their future King.

He smiles thinking that all of his plans were coming into place, now all that was left was to have the Queen under his thumb but he knew it wasn't such an easy task.

The Queen was praised for her unbeatable beauty, her hair black as coal, her eyes that shimmered like gold, and her slender voluptuous body was unforgettable. Many suitors fought not only for power but to taste such beauty- was something to brag about.

The woman did not like the idea of affection.

Yet, he wanted everything to be in place so the third prince made sure to become the best prospective husband there was to be.

Whenever the Queen was out for a stroll he would watch and ask if he could join. After rejection that seems to be never-ending, she finally agreed after months of persuasion.

Curious the Dark Queen was, the man did not leave her side. Whether it be rain or shine- he was there to say his greetings.

She blindly believed it was love and soon they got married.

For the whole kingdom to witness, ring in hand they said their vows. The third prince felt so happy inside, finally, his plan was coming to a close.

"I, Cedric Morningstar, take her hand in marriage. For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death." He held her by the hand and laughed, feeling everything was almost too easy.

The Dark Queen stares at the ring he placed on her hand and smiled so happily for the first time in a while and told him her vow.
