Beneath The Mask Is His Queen

“ you could be the king,
but watch the queen conquer. ”

King Lucas needs to find the next queen of Quincy kingdom. But he does not know anyone that would be qualified enough to take the role as his queen. So, King Lucas hosts a ball, in search for the next queen.

At his ball, he dances with several maidens, all beautiful and fair. But none seem to fascinate him.

And then, he dances with the masked girl.

Her found her to be captivating—memorizing even. He couldn't see her face, but he already knew she was beautiful. The way she spoke flowed so smoothly. She was gentle, polite, and very kind. She was also quite bold and courageous.

And although they shared one conversation, he knew that she was everything he wanted for his queen, for the leader of his kingdom.

But when midnight strikes, she flees. Only to have left behind a handkerchief that has a name sewn onto it.

Riley.
