The screams of pain echo through the Silver Moon Palace, followed by a baby's cry. Empress Anya had successfully given birth to the Bialandi Empire's first princess. The empress smiles as the Physician hands her the baby girl.
"Hello, Blysse, I'm your mama." She coos softly to the crying baby. Suddenly, Emperor Dexter bursts into the room. He smiles at the sight of his wife and newborn daughter. He strides over, eager to meet his baby girl.
"Hello there, my daughter." He chuckles as Blysse grasps his finger tightly. Her cries slowly fade away and she giggles. Standing at the door, Crown Prince Floyd watches with great interest.
"Father? May I approach?" The 20-year-old boy asks, eyes shining at his baby sister. Reluctantly, Dexter nods and gestures for Floyd to come closer. Floyd eagerly walks over, eyes trained on the baby in his mother's arms.
"Hi, sister, I'm your eldest brother, Floyd. I'll protect you." He declares, a soft smile gracing his features. The baby babbles happily, smiling and her tears are gone. The empress smiles at the sight of her husband and eldest son interacting with the newborn. She falls back onto the bed, feeling very weak, much weaker than any other pregnancy.
"Darling?!" Is the last thing Anya hears before her eyes shut for the last time. The Crown Prince picks his sister up off the empress as the physician and Emperor try to save Anya. Floyd exits the chambers with Blysse, who is now crying.
"Shh, shh. It's okay, Blysse. I'm right here." He softly soothes his baby sister, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. He eventually calms her down, lulling the baby to sleep.
Placing the newborn princess in her crib, Floyd gently closes the door before rushing back to the Empress' bedchambers. When he enters, the physician is hanging his head in sorrow and the Emperor is crying, begging and praying for the Gods to bring Anya back.
Floyd feels his world shatter. His mother is dead. The Empress of Bialandi has been taken by the God of Death, Adrien. The eldest prince falls to his knees, tears flooding down his face as he prays with his father to bring her back. The sound of a baby's cry snaps the two men out of the trance. The princess!! They dash to her room, only to see an empty crib, and an open window.
The princess of Bialandi has been kidnapped.
