Prologue. Arc 0.5

Author note; this what the twins look like. Just a heads upbut they are twins with different eye color.

When the twins were born, there was a strange but soothing light that encased them once they were cleaned up by the midwife and handed over to their mother. Who held both of the cherubs in her arms with a small grin on her face as she had just finished giving birth to two healthy babies. The sweat combined with the woman's unkempt appearance had shown signs of a harsh pregnancy. But at that moment, the matron is just glad that she gets to see her children before her husband could barge in and interrupt the moment.

"Well, hello there. Aless and Dean.", she chirped in a quiet but happy tone. As she gazed down at the small bundles of joys that were her children. The bigger one of the two had been Dean. He was born with wrinkled skin and small limbs that had yet to grow. A tuff of blonde hair sitting on top of his small head as he opened his irises and continued to look around the room. His big and circular pupils were a sea blue color as he seemed to be observing his surroundings. His brows were scrunched together as his eyes were taking in the room with interest.  Small and closed lips are tightly closed creating a thin line.  He had been quiet as he waited for the small baby girl that was held in the left arm to wake up since he is in the right crease of his mother arm.

But as luck would have it, Aless was a deep sleeper. It is a few minutes after her coming into the world and already showing signs of being lazy. Despite her personality trait of being lazy, the young newborn would grow to be a responsible noble. As the smaller one when compared to her older brother by five minutes. Aless was a replica of her brother in appearance from her tuff of wheat yellow trenches to her milky complexion tinted with a bit of red. Only her irises were a deep shade of green, instead of the shade of blue that her brother had seemed to inherit. That was the difference between them and it would later help their parents tell Dean and Aless apart. Though the light that had been present during the birth quickly evaporated away. It left behind something that neither the midwife and their mother hadn't noticed since both were just happy to have healthy babies.

The small gift that was left behind by the miracle of that day, hadn't quite developed since the twins were nothing more than a day old. It would show itself as the girl and boy continued to grow and develop in their own paths. Both will have powerful magic that some could only hope to have. But why did they receive such a gift?

Or is it a curse? Time is the answer to that question. Just how will each of the twins learn to control their amazing powers. That's where Duke Benjamin and his wife Duchess Madelyn came in to help nurture their children and to be able to educate the Lockster's twins in the ways of their new world. They will guide Aless and Dean in the political world that is a war zone for every noble who wanted power.  Even the tutors would show no resistance as they hammered different information in the minds of the twins.

Just as the nice and quiet moment passed, Duke Benjamin had rushed into the room in a frantic and tired manner. The thirty-something male had been busy with the workload of training new recruits and keeping his old ones in line. Being the commander of the army for the crowned royal family is strict and tiring. At times, it was busy to the point that he missed his wife giving birth as he hurried across from the palace to his manor. In an attempt to meet his children and show how devoted he was to his wife.

Duke Benjamin James Lockster had married his wife out of love. Unlike the arranged marriages of his friends and siblings. His would always be out of enchantment for the woman that had managed to win his heart. Thus, the romance between them had created Alessandra and Dean.  They were the proof of their parents ever going and a huge display of PTA.  Seeing as his wife was holding the cherubs at the moment.

He stopped and slowly moved towards the bed with a happy grin as he took in the sight of the boy and girl. To him, they were beautiful and handsome. The sight of them causes the man to lean down and shower his wife's face with kisses. Even if her face had a layer of sweat and grime, he didn't seem to mind it.

After the twenty-five kiss, he stopped and removed his lips from Madelyn's face. "They're so beautiful and handsome. It must run in our genes. ", He squealed as he took in each feature of his children. An excited gleam appeared in his eyes. For the blonde haired male was happy to have mini versions of himself and his wife. 

Dean took after his fathers look but seem to have gained his mother's personality. While Aless seemed to follow her mother's appearance mixed with her father's personality. Since the twins parents were both blonde but with different eyes colors that were present in their children. It confirmed the notion that Aless and Dean were the children of Duke Benjamin and Duchess Madelyn. Especially for the grandparents that the babies had yet to meet.

That day, a miracle had come in the form of twins. Which was quite rare for a noble family to have. Most believed you have to be extremely lucky to be able to bear a set of twins. Which to envy of other women that had wanted to move up in the worlds of nobility were angry. It caused a fury of rumors to that was spread through each house and the royal palace. Anyone that was in a high position had known about the blessings that Duke Benjamin and his wife seemed to receive from God himself. Most were just angry that though they were devoted to the man and yet, they didn't receive any form of a good well. That was just the start of this story.
