The Third Queen

Clouded Intentions

Amshel Goldsmith, Chevalier of the infamous Queen known as Diva. Stood in the midst of his office where he held the one thing that bound the "Third Queen" to not only Diva. But himself as well. It was the key to the once cold Queen's emotions,something Amshel never knew would come to be. Her child. For sitting in a white basket similar to the basket Diva's children slept in till this day was a single cocoon where sleeping within that protective shell was the "Third Queen's" very first and only child. Something that everyone including Amshel once believed was impossible.  After all on multiple occasions Leia had proved to be a "Failure Queen" unable to bear offspring to further their ambitions. But now things we're different. Somehow Leia had actually achieved something. Yet she had not. She had created a child. A single child who would soon awaken and become the next generation of Chiropterin in the world.

But that was the problem,she only bred one child. And that to Amshel and the other Chevalier as well was the ultimate failure on her behalf. She was not a fit Queen. A true Queen for Amshel to wrap his hands around and mold into his own creation. Already Amshel had turned Diva into his personal play thing,using her and her children to further his own selfish ambitions. But Leia was different. For she was someone who was so cold, breathtaking and dangerous. And now she was not yet she held those vibrant violet eyes that would bore into Amshel's entire being. Stripping him of any animosity or courage he would once feel. But that would all change when those eyes would land upon him. Eyes that till this day could cause his blood run cold.

And yet he was able to manipulate her with a single child,and he couldn't be more delighted. For the second time in his life Amshel had full control over Leia,and he was soon about to show her just how weak she had become. Tracing his fingers across the rough outer shell which held the soon to be born Queen. Calling for his brother Solomon, Amshel bid him to bring the Queen to him. Fully prepared to show her just where she stood in this grand plan of his. Bowing his head in respect for his older colleague Solomon left the room.

Making his way through the vast Villa,where already Diva had begun to sing her airy melody. Her voice as beautiful as ever yet empty without a shred of remorse,and this was something that had began to enrage Solomon more and more as time went on. For yes he served his Queen,a queen who he hoped had a vision for the future. But now he saw her as someone different. Someone who was willing to destroy all she knew in order to have a small taste of satisfaction in the world. And that was something Solomon simply could not swallow. Quickening his pace Solomon soon made it to the room which held Leia. Well a room would be a stretch,for it was more of a prison. Purposely designed to replicate the stone hole that had once held Amshel's precious Diva so long ago in "The Zoo".

Stopping at the worn wooden door before him, Solomon pushed the door open to reveal none other than Leia herself. She sat upon the cold stone floor,her knees brought to her chest in the fetal position hinting that she had indeed been crying. And this strangely struck a nerve in Solomon. All those years of watching her and Diva cause chaos in the world,he had never seen the violet eyed Queen shed tears. She was always the strong Queen who was the first to propose an idea that Diva always seemed to adore. And now she was this. A broken woman sitting in the middle of her room. Carefully Solomon dared to enter the room,standing before the silent Leia. Who's eyes remained burried in her arms in an attempt to hide her tears.

Bending down before the broken Queen,his eyes staring into her once vibrant ones. "Leia?" Solomon called out hesitantly hoping something would stir within the doe eyed Queen. It was then that Leia slowly turned her gaze towards Solomon,her voice as quiet as a mouse. Yet filled with the same authority she once held once upon a time. "What do you want? Haven't I done everything you've requested?" Leia commented referring to Amshel and his countless tests on her. In hopes of somehow creating something that even Solomon wasn't too sure was even possible. "My brother wishes to see you."Solomon stated,as Leia slowly rose to her feet Abit off balance as she gripped onto the wall nearby. Solomon held back a sigh watching her deteriorating form. Even though Leia had returned to Diva she still refused to feed and that was beginning to show not only on the battlefield but off as well. Her once alabaster skin was now pasty devoid of any of it's past radiance. While her eyes that we're once filled to the brim with strength was now that of a memory. Leaving only a pair of dull violet orbs,oh how far she had fallen. And for what?

Raising to his feet as well Solomon carefully helped Leia stand. Despite her words of protest he led her down the large corridor to his big brother Amshel's study. Stopping at the door Solomon whispered something to Leia,something that she didn't expect from Diva's Chevalier. Especially her favorite,after all shouldn't they all hate her? For putting their beloved Queen through such turmoil. Yet his words hinted something else. Respect and overall a desire. "Stay strong,it won't be long till your nightmare ends." Leia turned towards the blonde Chevalier a weak smile on his lips as he opened the door for Leia. Allowing her to walk into the Lion's den. The only thing was Leia wasn't too sure she could find off this ferocious foe. Not now,not the way she was now. Swallowing a large lump in her throat Leia pressed her back against the large wooden door,forcing it closed as she dared to stare the devil in the eye. Who smugly greeted the weakened Queen" Welcome my sweet Leia." He breathed, his words sending chills down Leia's spine.

What did he want? What else could he possibly do to her that he hadn't already?
