The Outlaw and his Queen [WIP]

Prolougue

In a land far away, there is a social structure that stands above the rest. Each layer has their own government and rulers, but still respects the layers that are literally above them. From top to bottom, the layers are Faree, Tatter, Gripp, Multipendage, and the Outlands. Our story starts in the land of Multipendage.

Many years ago, there was a young man named Tox. Tox was an orphan, and had to scavenge his necessities. Tox never got caught.

Until one fateful day, when Tox snuck into the bakery afterhours to gather food. He was tired that night, causing him to not be as quiet as he usually was. Tox awakened the baker's daught, Rose Crystal, in the process, and she decided to see what was going on.

It was love at first sight.

From then on, Tox would come to the bakery afterhours and Rose would give him baked goods and affection.

Rose's parents were eventually okay with the relationship, and all was well.

Until it was time for the new king.

Prince Gillion was turning 18, the age where he could choose any girl between the ages of 15 and 18 to be his queen, officially making him King.

All maidens within this age group were forced to attend Gillion's birthday ceremony. Some were on the verge of exploding with excitement, others didn't give a damn.

As custom, Gillion had the girls line up youngest to oldest, so he could examine all 200 of them side by side. Then he narrowed down his options from 200 to 100, 100 to 50, 50 to 25, 25 to 10, and 10 to 2.

These two maidens were Celia Foam, the seamstress's daughter, and Rose Crystal, the baker's daughter.

Gillion chose Rose.

She returned to the bakery to tell her parents and Tox the news.

The next day, at the Queenstrial, Tox was publicly exiled for interfering with the King's love.

He was never seen again.
