The Ruby Empire

Rokshi the Rakshasa

The trip to King Amit's court has been one you've been longing to take. Ever since Amit married Queen Mythri you have been longing to meet her. In her short time as Queen, she has become something of a hero amongst other royals in the surrounding kingdoms. The Rakshasa were known as beasts of war, the best military, and fighters in the entire country. King Amit happened to have taken over one of the most powerful militaries when he started his reign. He was feared and there were even legends of his might and brawn. With the arrival of Queen Mythri, those legends were dampened. King Amit's court was becoming known for its progressive steps towards education and healthcare. It wasn't just known for its impressive military anymore. Rather than fear King Amit, people were flocking to him, eager to align themselves with his growing court and inspirational Queen.

The meeting with Queen Mythri wasn't just one of diplomacy. You had kept a correspondence with her, exchanging letters that grew from polite pleasantries into something of a friendship. She invited you to come to her castle to meet with her and King Amit. She wanted to open trades with your kingdom since you had an abundance of orchards and fruits, as well as some of the Empire's best wines. Your kingdom was known as the Lush Country, for several reasons.

You brought with you many gifts to give to the King and Queen as well as their children. You were excited to meet the queen, but also nervous. You had plans aside from opening you kingdom's walls to the Rakshasa. You had a favor to ask of the Queen, something that could mean life or death.

Mythri greets you with wide open arms and you're shocked to see her belly is swollen and round.

"Oh yes," she chuckles, rubbing her pregnant belly. "I'm afraid I can't sample your wonderful wines for a while. The little one in here barely lets me eat anything outside of steaks and peppers."

King Amit looks smug with his work, eyeing Mythri like the cat who ate the canary. "I am hoping for a princess this go around," he replies. "I am afraid more princes will cause a collapse," he teases as his twin sons glare at him.

"I am certain the whole kingdom would celebrate a princess," you reply. "I barely got a fanfare when I came out as a princess."

"How do you come out as a princess?" One of the twins asked.

Mythri pets the top of his head. "Our guest was not born their gender. They're one of the Hidden Souls I was telling you about. Remember Dhaval?"

Himank's eyes go wide. "Oh!" He leaps at you. "My friend Moai is like you," he says. "She just discovered her True Soul too."

You smile and pet the top of his head. "That's wonderful. I'm happy for her."

"Why would no one celebrate you?" Dhaval asks. "Isn't it a good thing you set your Soul right?"

"Some people aren't as understanding, love," Mythri explains. "But our guest will be celebrated here, won't she?"

"She will!" The two princes exclaim.

King Amit smiles, taking your hand and kissing it. "Welcome to our home. You must be tired from the journey."

"I'm fine actually," you chuckle. "It's refreshing for me to get out. I rarely leave the palace these days." You follow along with the royal family. You admire the affection between Amit and Mythri, feeling a bit envious. Amit worships the ground Mythri walks on, his love for her was apparent from the moment you catch him looking at her. Mythri adores Amit, her gaze never flattering when it is on him.

Your parents never really cared for one another. They never shared a chamber and they only appeared together for appearances. If you did not have your father's nose you would be certain you were the child of one of your mother's harem. You had always thought that royal families were ones that were pieced together to form powerful alliances. Yet Mythri had been a servant of the palace before she met Amit and their kingdom had done nothing but grow since she took the throne.
