RedMoon

Chapter III

Polished dark gray cobblestone paves a way into a golden kingdom. Manor houses sit alongside crystal clear rivers and vegetation gives a vibrant green touch to compliment such housing. The norm of the land is to flaunt wealth, so extravagant decor is displayed. With the kingdom's main materials being gold and diamond, you can see such material on buildings and bridges across the whole land as it glistens under the sunlight.

Centaurs guard this prosperous society, wearing diamond armor that hugs their body and doesn't interfere with their movement during combat.

Where the wealthy look down upon the poor. Where beauty is only on the outside, while the inside is poisoned with obsession for power and wealth.

This is the Wrizar Kingdom.

With his head tilted back leaning on the golden rim of his circular bathtub, Lunn closes his eyes and listens to the soft drops of water coming from the faucet. The tub is filled to the brim with hot water and rose petals that give off an elegant aroma. White pillar candles surround the bathtub as they gleam making the bathroom dimly lighted. The moon casts its graceful light through the arched window hitting the polished porcelain tiles.

A grin forms on Lunn's face as he remembers the news he received in the morning. Finally, after years of having a blood thirsty witch trying to kill off the kingdoms, Queen Leona is finally dead. A bit of weight is lifted off his shoulder, however her daughter, who is 10x more deadly than the queen herself, is still alive...unfortunately. If Ace dies, then the kingdoms can live in peace and not worry about the targets they feel on their backs. His grin faded away as he thought about his plan of action for the next couple of days. Lunn knows that he has to keep increasing the security throughout the kingdom just in case Ace tries to attack his territory. She has been too quiet for the past month now and hasn't even tried to murder someone yet, which only makes the kingdoms worry for their own safety even more. This should be a problem for mainly a king to worry about, but the king is too busy entertaining himself with multiple disgusting prostitutes. So all of this falls on the prince instead.

Lunn sinks deeper in the comforting hot water with only his head above it, making some of the water start to leak out of the tub. The petals charmingly flowed with the water, quietly landing on the floor.

The water in the tub suddenly began to shift forward to backward making Lunn open his eyes. His breathing became rapid as the shifts increased speed. A black sphere then appeared in front of him hovering over the water. The sphere unwrapped itself showing a scroll that was tied together by a burgundy ribbon. Lunn hesitantly sat up straight staring at the scroll. He slightly lifted both arms, closed his hands making a fist, then quickly opened them, summoning gold gauntlets on his arms.

He was on high alert. Yes it was just a floating piece of paper, however if this is from who he thinks it's from, then honestly he should have more armor on.

Slowly and cautiously, he reached for the scroll and untied the burgundy ribbon around it. Unraveling it, his blood ran cold as he read the message. He knew it. Of course he knew. He was first on her list. There was no signature at the bottom and he didn't need one.

Lunn Grim,

It's a shame, a prince such as yourself having to die so young. I will personally make sure the last thing you see is a pool of your own blood.

She was coming for him.

And he had little time to prepare to fight for his life.
