Princess Sully
In the land of Dracules there was a modernized system of leadership, the king, the queen, and the seven phases in command. The seven phases were like a council and each ruler contributed to the rise of Dracules. The seven phases consisted of the seven most treasured families in the full nation; Hillows, Targios, Argyros, Velaryon, Kassos, Kyrios and Drakos. And their king, Albert Targeryan, ruler of the 7 seas in Dracules, each phase had a sea and city to control and they all worked under the king’s command.
King Albert got married to Loreta Argyros and they’ve been happily married to 15 years, but yet no child, it made the people of the kingdom scared as the years past by because if the king dies and they have no heir to the throne, a war would start between the 7 phases, people whispered that Queen loreta was being cursed from having a child, because the Targeryan lineage was okay before their time, and it was true, Loreta had a disease before she got married to Albert.
After 4 more years of trial and failures, Loreta finally got pregnant, and they both hoped for it to be a boy.
“oh my goodness what a beautiful face she has” the maid said as she put the new born baby on a white cloth on the bed “I think another one is still in there!!” loreta shouted as she drew attention to the maids and the midwife took a look at the leg of the feutus in Loreta’s vagina.
“goodness” the mid wife said and looked at the maidens in the room “I don’t think she’s going to make it” the mid wife said and stood up and used a cloth to clean her hands and walked to loreta’s personal assistant.
“make sure she feels relaxed, I’ll go have a little chat with the king” she whispered in her ear and left the room.
Albert and the council members were having a party with some wealthy people in the village, their heir was about coming into the world and it was sure what celebrating.
“may I have a word with you my grace?” the midwife said as the music stopped and some people started whispering to each other “sure, midwife” albert said as he stood up, he looked a bit worried.
“there were two kids in her womb” the midwife said and albert smiled “that’s an amazing news-” albert was saying when she interrupted him “I don’t think my queen will make it” the midwife said and he looked at her in disbelief “what do you mean by that?, explain what you just said” albert said and she gave a heavy sigh “the first child game out and it was a girl, but the second one has it’s legs out first and there is nothing we can actually do, unless we cut her belly open, and even if we do cut her belly open, she is not going to make it, and there is no guesses if the child will be alive or not, or if it’s a boy or girl” the midwife said and looked at him and he was short of words.
The midwife stroked loreta’s hair as tears rolled down from her eyes, loreta opened her eyes and her eyes looked very weak, her energy was drained and her face was pale and dry “I think I have a fever” loreta spoke with her dry mouth and the midwife sniffed, barely holding in.
“I don’t want to die” loreta said with her cracked throat and the midwife broke into tears “it’s for the best, child” the midwife said as tears fell from loreta’s eyes “I want you to name her….sully,if it’s a boy, name him luke but if it’s a girl again, name her Sophia, after my mother, understand?” loreta said and the midwife nodded her head “that’s my final order to you and make it work, I trust you Mrs. Aries” loreta said and smiled and one of the maiden used a knife to cut loreta’s stomach.
“he hasn’t still cried, has he?” the midwife asked the maidens “yes, but he’s breathing and everything is doing fine” the maiden said.
“sully and luke, that’s an expensive name for me to say, your grace” syron, the leader of the kassos said and smile “they were named by their mother, of course it’s expensive” albert said as he drank the wine in his cup and they both laughed.
“we’re finally rest assured of our next King, and it makes me feel excited” syron said and chuckled “don’t be syron, luke hasn’t cried” albert said and drank his wine “is that something you should be afraid of your grace?, he is still a baby, are you that desperate for him to call you father?” syron said and laughed “that’s how my boy xavier was, he only cooed when he was born, but started crying when he was 5 months old, and now he knows how to call my name” syron said looking all proud.
“luke’s cooing is mute” albert said and looked and syron “your grace, the time will come for him to call you father, just wait for it” syron said and laughed.
