Chapter 1.
Ruveliss, the Crown Prince opened his eyes to an unfamiliar place. It was a large hall. Besides him, his father and the two Duke's with Sir Allendis, Sir Carsein, Viscount Harren and his silver haired fiancée, Aristia la Monique. "Where are we?" Duke Ruth questioned. "I have a better question. Who's that?" Arkint pointed out to a young female. She looked like a new adult. The pure white skirt of hers was spread across the floor. But her hands were tied by two strong chains on either side emitting out a menacing purple glow. And her silver hair covered her face. So they were unable to see her expression. Infront of them seemed like a priest. His long white hair entended down and since he wore a robe, it was evident. But one thing was strange. It was the insignia embroided on his robes. Two spears and a roaring dragon. It seemed remarkably familiar to the Monique family's crest. Aristia tilted her head to a side. The priest's eyes opened. They were mysterious with a strange pattern on them. " Urgh!" he groaned. The chains on his hands made a crinkling noise. The Priest's eyes first turned to Ruveliss than Aristia, finally Allendis, Carsein and Harren. "Your majesty?" he blurted out while keeping his eyes locked on Ruveliss. The Crown Prince was confused. But felt a sense of crisis realising they all were trapped. "Who are you?" Mirkan asked. The high priest shook his head as if he felt pain and answered. "My name is Exodus. I'm the High Priest of the ancient Monique Empire." Aristia was startled the most. But all of them were surprised. "High Priest of the Monique Empire?" Ruth questioned. Exodus nodded his head. "I serve the Royals of the Monique family. But seeing you are here, Emperor Mirkan, it seems like everyone is still young." "So you know who I am." "Yes I do. And I've come from the future." "From the future?" Allendis inquired. "I don't have the time to explain, but in the future, years from now on, the Monique Empire shall rise again. And I serve the Kings and Queens there.". Exodus worriedly gazed at the silver haired young lady tied by chains. "Who is she?"asked Harren. " She's the second Queen of the Monique Empire. A co-ruler. Princess Elina Lu Shana Castina." all of them were puzzled now. " Lu Shana Castina. How can she be a Royal of Monique when she has the end name of the Castina Royal family?". Exodus sighed. He didn't know how to explain that she is his own daughter. "She's the Emperor's daughter there. Crown Prince Ruveliss, I just said you all looked young and didn't I say I'm from the future?" " You did." Ruveliss answered sternly. Exodus smiled. "She's your daughter, with Lady Aristia of course" Scilence spread across the room again. "What?!" he exclaimed. "Wait what?!" Aristia also exclaimed. Mirkan's eyes popped out in disbelief. Amidst the shock, the doors burst open. And two men which appeared to be like soldiers appeared. " Keep a watch on the Queen. If the chains break down she will reduce us to ashes. Remember, she's as dangerous as her siblings the first Queen and King." The soldiers ignored Exodus who frowned. They climbed up the podium where Elina was and checked the chains once again. They clearly used magic to strengthen the weakening powers. All of them heared Elina's low growl. Both soldiers flinched and backed off. Mirkan and Ruveliss noticed how scared all the soldiers looked. The soldiers both left hurriedly locking the door. " Cowards. Keeping her chained like this.". "High Priest Exodus, how should we get out of here?" " We have to set her free first. Otherwise we won't be able to counter the soldiers with just swords in our hands. Do anyone of you have a daggar?" "I do." answered Arkint. He reached it out from his pocket and took it out. " Throw it towards me Duke Rass." he did as told. Exodus reached out the dagger from his feet than managed to get it into his hands. He began fiddling the lock with the daggar. Elina grunted again. The chains moving slightly. They all looked at her again. "I am almost done your highness." Exodus told Elina. Her white dress was now ragged and a but torn from the sides. Ruveliss stared at Elina. Her face was covered by silver hair altogether. Elina lifted her face to see Ruveliss. He saw briefly blue crystals amoung the hairs of platinum. Exodus finally managed to get out of the chains. He dashed towards Elina and tried to open the locks on her chained hands. She still remained unmoving. Elina wanted to laugh at the situation. She was fully conscious but the magical chains that kept her tied up were draining her energy. 'Hurry up Exodus.' she urged. Suddenly, the march of several soldiers could be heared. "Sieze the Queen quickly." Aristia panicked. The enemies were coming for Elina. Exodus fastened his pace. The soldiers burst through the door. "Capture the high priest!" Exodus gasped. The chains from Elina's hands fell down. The soldiers put their guards up. A scilence spread out. Slowly she got up on her feet and a beautiful face came in view. Long silver hair and beautiful crystal clear blue eyes. Her dress which was originally ragged turned pure white again, and spotless. She looked at Exodus than the hall very naturally. " Catch her!" Elina knitted her eye brows before raised her hand towards them. A magic circle appeared and a gush of power shot through the room. Aristia felt chills in her spines as the heads of the soldiers rolled down one by one and blood pooled out. There was blood everywhere.
