It is medival times, the time when Kings and Queens ruled their kingdoms upon their thrones, when Princes and Princesses ran about the gardens, riding the royal steeds, and causing mischief to result on their parents. At this time, Queen Ashlere and King Edwin rule the kingdom of Lumure, their twin children, one female, and one male, will inherit their kingdom when they come of age, whether they must fight to rule, or split their duty, who shall be crowned King, or Queen, is currently unknown, the children themselves are unaware of the trouble to come when they reach the age of seventeen.
Yet being young and nieve, their troubles remain minor, such as, the Princess's gowns are not fit to be worn, or the Prince can not find a suitable weapon for combat.
There is more trouble still, close relatives are plotting to steal the crown from under the families nose. Can Aunts and Uncles be trusted? Are you fit to rule Lumure?

The Princess Catherine decended the regal staircase, starting at the top where the banistar fanned out widely, getting narrower towards the middle, before once more, fanning apart in thick gold encrusted oak. The stairs were draped in a carpet of scarlet red velvet, the young Princess's light steps, gained from years of lessons with her mother and lady in waiting, brought her closer to the marble floor below. Her feet were dressed in silver heels, subtle and plain, just perfect for the girl, her body was adorned in a gown made of the finest materials, the colour of soft, white, snow. the bodice hugged her chest, pinching her waist in, and pushing her chest up, she'd begun wearing a corset a month or so ago, her face still showed evidence of the pain she was in with each step, detailing the dress were beads, sewn into the matieral in intricate flowers. The skirt was gathered at the waist, where it then fell to the ground. Her hands held some of this material to prevent herself from tripping her way down the stairs.
Her hair was worn in a long, thick golden, braid down her back, blue eyes watched each step of her foot carefully. So close, and not a stumble yet!

Rory gave a low sigh as she smoothed out the minute creases from her simple but elegant light grey gown. She leaned against a wall at the bottom of the staircase and closed her eyes, exhausted as she had not slept well. She lifted her slender hands and brushed her black hair from her face, the straight locks falling to her mid back. She clipped it up at the sides with simplistic silver barrettes. Aside from them the only jewelry that adorned her pale skin was a silver locket that she had hidden the side of the silvery heels she wore.

Suddenly she heard footsteps coming down the stairs and her eyes flew open again. She checked to make sure she was fully presentable, knowing it was most likely the Princess, the lady she served. She smiled as she moved away from the wall to stand at the bottom of the stairs. She loved serving Princess Catherine, so she always did her level best at it.

Kai walked along the dirt roads leading to the market center. Dirt and dust scuffed up his features and clothing as he passed by. He had just come back from working at the stables, and having just been paid, flipped a coin up and down while multiple others jostled around in his pocket. He shrugged sheeplishly as his stomach grumbled loudly, begging for something to fill it. He approached a vendor, purchasing a loaf of bread, chewing on it as he browsed other shops. Nothing happened to catch his eye today, so he made his way back to the small area next to the stables, preparing his own bed, though there were still a few hours left of daylight. He placed the rest of the coins in his pillow case, along with dozens of others, his savings. He sharpened a large dagger for most of the afternoon, enjoying the mettalic scraping sound it created. He looked out a window at the Castle, studying it, envious of those who inhabited it.
