After the king heard his son brought a girl that was nearly executed in public for stealing he was shocked but he knew his son had his own reasons. Although his wife and concubines were trying to sway him with his trust towards his son. He didn't need a women telling him how to trust ,banging his fist on the small table silencing every person present in the council room . He stared into their eyes ,"He is the crown prince and I trust his judgement more than any of you."he said his voice deeper enough to stop a person outside , that's how Ryun got his powerful aura ,from his father. "But your Majesty what if he is being swayed -"
"Is it the same way when you married the Duke's bride?"the king cut off the council member. "Listen very clearly , my son will only do what is truthful cause I raised him that way ,even if I have concubines, they are untouched and yours to sully with except my wife. I don't like repeating myself."he said with finality.
Everyone letf except his wife Ryun's mom . Jae-ya, "You stayed cause you want reassurance right?"he asked her and she nodded her head ."Our son has never acted out of character or rebellion. The only thing that persistently still causes trouble is his power of being a vampire with hell fire abilities like your great grandfather. I love that you supported him ,and so will I as his mother. But it still doesn't change that the girl he handpicked and took to his chambers must be special more than being a commoner . Will you still support him if ever he chooses to destroy the Vostren clan in the south since you bound the cursed energy of that clan to my son, Kagen?"she said to the king even addressing him with his true name .
He listened regardless ,Jae-ya was his first love after being with all these useless concubines he never dared to touch. She was the only true princess he picked for himself within the empire hierarchy. "I hear your concern ,Ryun is built like that. Blood thirst ,is hard to quench these days for myself . To answer you then yes. I will always support him , even if he decided to end the Vostren clan or any other choice he makes . His power can destroy old me ."hs chuckled in the end and his wife smiled ,satisfied with what he promised . Truth is when he picked her from the empire she was an outcast princess , born from illigitmacy and he had won a war with the Vostron clan leader at that time . He was still a general at that time when his black armored horse came to her loving chambers and demanded her father to hand me over as his bride . It was a happy day for her cause she finally felt seen, her abilities were always potent and dangerous but cause of her being born through a maid it made her life hard to live . They only adorned her with jewelry and silk dresses when they wanted to marry her off to any nobleman who was either loose or crazy in the head.
But after Kagen married her ,they fell for each other faster than anticipated and she very much soon gave birth to Ryun who is just like his father but a lot more dangerous than any living person in this kingdom. Yes Kagen was a vampire and also his father and so on and so on. They all passed abilities that were unique from one another , Kagen can teleport, destroy anything he touched while thier own son can unleash hellish fire and take the shadows of those who are dead. He could use them as ghouls or allow them to shape shift into his true binder power fire . That power came from Kagen great grandfather not all of it. While the Queen Jae-ya could see people's timelines, she could tell when they were to die or live . Her power attached her to the ghouls her son can control and shapeshift ,which was why her own father put her in a position for beggars .
That was all in the past now . The main focus was the girl her son brought home . After being reassured by her husband the king, she didn't spare more time, she went to check on the girl her son brought . Gladly she found her in her son's nearby chambers. He gave her a room close to his and appointed her as his healer. Without asking questions, she finally saw the girls petite figure in the robes she knew her son orded for them to be chosen for her , a smile lit up her face from seeing the petite figure and white long hair . The girl was busy playing with a feather in her hand, while she sat on the bed . The queens smile faltered when the girl stood up and her eyes connected with her. She saw the girls past painful life, that made her clutch her chest tightly. From that one eye connection she knew that she was blind, but that isn't what bothered her. Its the girls scattered memories she couldn't decipher, the girls soul core was diminishing everytime she healed and helped a new life .
Is that why her son chose her ? Just when shd was questioning herself ,Akia bowed to her ,making the queens thoughts stop completely.
