The Wings Smeared With Crimson

The throne room was a bloody mess. The once shiny jewels decorating the throne were now corrupted;smeared with their master's blood.

The royal subjects and nobels of the kingdom have gathered in the palace.Neither their eyes nor their ears could belive any of what they heard or saw.

               THE KING WAS DEAD!!

Well,murdered actually.

The queen Lillian was starring at her husband's corpse trembling at the horrific sight of him.

He was stabbed viciously.  His clothes and silver hair were shred and dirtied with his own blood. His eyes were starring aimlessly at nowhere. They were lifeless and have lost their stunning blue shine. The handsome features of his face were lost and covered in crimson.

Apparently,  the murderer held a strong grudge against the king that he stabbed him countless times in unfatal parts of his body to let him die a slow and painful death.

Both the queen's and her three daughters's eyes were filled with tears of sorrow. 

The eldest Angelina closed her father's eyes as she covered his face with a white and long cloth that reached the bottom of his ankles.

She ordered her people to take his corpse away but her mother would not let go.

"No! I absoluty refuse to accept this joke. Edward open your eyes this instance and stop playing with me."

"Mother, that is enough. Father's gone and you know it ! Nothing can be done, just let it be!"

"But Anne..."

"Mother, please...."

Her daughter had a pleading and understanding look shining in her sapphire ovals...

The  queen abruptly let go accepting the painful truth. Her husband , her one and only true love was gone.

-------------------------------------

Despite her broken heart Lillian attended his burial. The whole incident passed like a dream. Oh, how much did she wish to wake-up.

Throughout the whole ceremony her greenish eyes were blury with tears that ran heavily on her fair skin.

Angelina tried to keep her composure for her position as the eldest princess of the royal house demanded that she remained calm and confident, but her mother's actions were not helping.

Seeing that the only person left to comfort her needed comforting herself ,the young lady couldn't help but let her hot tears fall silently on her cheeks as she heard the load sobs and sniffels coming from her younger siblings and only parent left.

As the ceremony almost reached its end the loud whispers of pitying and greediness were heard clearly by the royalty at present.

"Now that the king is gone what will become of us?!"

"And the princesses were left without a father at such ayoung age...How very pitiful indeed!!!"

"The princesses are very young, unsuitable for succeeding the king.I see it is time another family rules. My family perhaps..."said the head of the Edwards noble family.

"Silence!!"

Everybody in the crowd immediately shoot their eyes towards the source of the voice.It was the queen...

"I see yoy have forgotten that it was decided since her birth that Angelina is to take the role as the ruler of the kingdom.." 

"I remember well my queen. But the princess is merely twelve, too young to become the queen and as our rules state another family should..."

"I belive you are right Sir Adams" said the princess

The crowd staired at their golden haired princess.

Sir Adams was smiling wickedly at her agreement.

"But their is another heir at the current moment..." said the princess.

"And that would be.."

"Uncle Edgar please step up"

Gasps were heard when a man that differs from the king with merely his black hair approached the side of the royal family. Prince Edgar.The king's younger twin.

The princess spokeup again"The elders as in my grandparents have decided:Prince Edgar will take the thrown until I have become a queen worthy of ruling this kingdom."

Sir Adam's expression quickly changed into one one of annoyance.

"It is indeed this way.My brother's lineage shan't end with him.This is why I Edgar Vlads shall become the king and protector of this kingdom."

Loud cheers roared ,though some of them echoed with disapproval and unacceptance planted in them.The urge to rule and takeover never failed to exist even in the hearts of the unhuman.

------------------------------------

The cornation of the new king was held a few days after the funeral. However the three little princesses let their mother attend alone as they gathered togethet in a place unknown to strangers.

"Uncle becoming king will only give us time until those greedy nobles try to take over again!" spoke the middle Cecilia. 

"Those pesky villains. God knows which of them is the culprit." said Anne.

"But sister how do we know which one of them dared to take the life of  our father." said the youngest Elizabeth. 

"How should I know? Although I know one thing.When I take hold of the name of the criminal who took our father away from us and our mother I'll erase his existence from this world.I swear upon the shiny moon lighting our dark nights."

The princess stood there bearing her eyes into the moon's shine, holding her sisters's hands triumphantly unaware of the pair of golden eyes watching her readying to snatch her from her roots to keep her scent and beauty to themselves even if it meant that she planted her thornes into his hands...
