⚫ when twins were born was a sign of a curse. One that will not only destroy the family they are born to but also the kingdom. With that a rule was made once twins were born, they were to be killed at once or one of there parents can take the place of one twin.
The size of the city gates exceeded my expectations. East and west, it scratched for miles. The walls were so thick that the men who were guiding it walked alongside it and passed one another. My eyes widened even more as we drove through the city. The city was bustling with hundreds of thousands of people crammed into the market, the shops, and the stress. I questioned the driver,"Is it always this crowded?" "" Hah! If you think this crowed wait till you see the port side of the city"" the man shouted with amusement on this face. Turning my face away from him, i kept looking at this new city. According to the driver were we entered is the trading gate.
All roads going to every were to the kingdome start and end here. With that the gate was located in the middle of the city. The middle was the were all middle class citizen lived. There was the east and west, the east was the port was located also the lower class lived while the west was were the wealthiest lived it was also were the castle was located. "" So were does my aunt leave?"" I asked. "" The west.""
The west. My aunt was lives in west. She was rich? Royal? My mind couldn't give me answers. If she was rich how cames dad was in the village surviving of selling crops. We. My dad and i live a very modest life. Farming or Dad heading to teach some noble child how to hold a swords, Guns or fight, something he wasnt always upbeat to do but since we had to make a living he did.
My thoughts were pulled out as a we passed another gate. This one going above massive bridge. Under was beautiful blue and green decorated the water. A green forest covered the entry to the bridge. After approximately 300miles we reached the end of the bridge, it to was decorated with lush green trees and grass.
Different from the middle the west was far different. House were far apart, very far apart while the middle the houses were close together some only a thin fance dividing the homes. Here the size of the houses and different types of styles of homes differ from one to the other. In the middle the home stood out by there colours, small but vibrate.
After what seemed like forever, we finally stoped infront of a gate."" We are here miss"" the driver announced. I set up straight. And looked out side the window. The house was no were to be seen. Were was the house? Just then the gate open and the car started following a long path with tall very tall straight tress stood on a straight line stretching as far as i could see. A short while later the house come to view. This was massive, all white, with a small round fountain standing infront of it. The house had large glass windows on the ground floor and the second floor. The secound floor was helped by not two but eight large pillars standing from the very top of the house to the bottom making the entry even more grand. My eye traveled to the front door to see a woman standing outside.
She was old not so old. Her dress was a green silk complimenting her red hair tied in a mess bun. Red hair, she must be my aunt, as the car stoped infront of her, her smile grow even more wide.
"" Finally you here dear"" she said opeing the door and and giving me a hand to hold while steping out.
Before i could take a proper step outside i was pulled into a hug. "" You have no idea how much i have been waiting to see you"" she said wiggling me side to side in the hug.
I didnt know what tell her. I didnt know she existed till two days ago. "" You have arrived just in time"" a heavy voice said behind her. She finally let go and turned.A brown man with black grey hair walked down the entry "" Am Antony"" the man said pulling me into another hug. "" Your uncle"" he finished.
" Can we have dinner now?"" Another man said. This was caramel with my aunts topez eyes and Antony's full lips. Not waiting for an answer he turned and when back inside. "" Thats our son. Leon"" Antony said. "" Am sorry on his behalf"" my aunt apologized and with that the three of us worked inside the house.
The inside was just as magnificent just like the outside. It was open with both sides. An oval staircase open on the top of the stairs and draw together at the bottom giving space for a huge family portrait on the wall.
" This way dear. You will get time to look around the house soon."" My aunt said as she pulled me to one of the doors. The large gold and black dinning table stood in the middle of the room. The walls were painted light blue with a gold portrait highing on its walls. The middle of the celling hang a gold chandelier made the whole room glided
The chairs were black with golded velvet to compliment the top of the table. Leon was already sitting on one of the chairs. Antony took a sit on the end of the table and next to him my aunt. She called for me to sit next to her and did as told.
"" You came on time for ball"" my aunt announced. "" Who's ball?" Both Antony and leon asked at the same time." The kings ball. He wants to celebrate the prince's return."
