---------------------------------------------------------------- "We shall rise above all."
--------------------------
╔══════════════╗
The king stepped out of his chamber and walked towards the Throne Room to meet with the requests of the people, either asking for help for their lands, or requesting other political needs. Lately he had been going to many meetings, talking to his many advisors and noblemen about neighboring kingdoms and the various rulers and families, and compared to what the nobles gossiped about, he would rather have listened to commoners. While he walked down the hall from his bedchamber towards the throne room, he admired the castle walls. They were adorned with lovely crimson furnishings of tapestries made for the Noir family depicting the battles fought and won, as well as the former kings, queens, and royal family members. The many red tapestries and paintings were hung around, reminding the passersby that they were within the walls of the family of the Phoenix. Frau gave a small smile as his fingers traced over the cool rock, feeling it vibrate from the hustle and bustle within every other part of Evenfall. He loved his kingdom, and greatly appreciated the many hardworking people who helped make it up.
Upon reaching the throne room he bowed his head slightly, acknowledging his advisors and then sitting upon the throne. One by one various commoners, knights, and even nobles came up to the throne, making requests. Of course after about an hour or so he became tiresome, granting all of the remanining requests with approval. Although he had kingly duties, all he wanted to do was spend time training and exploring his kingdom. Frau never had time to explore, except on occasion when he wasn't busy with something else pertaining to his duties as king, husband, or father. His children were busy with their studies and training, well at least Castor was. Fai was a very belligerent young woman who never listened to her father and mother and always roamed off to spend time with her aunts or uncles in either the neighboring cities of Rhisis. However, Castor was his pride and joy. After trying for a child with Sophia, he finally produced an heir during the time of prosperity for the kingdom. Frau always recognized him as a sign of wealth and glory since it had helped the kingdom achieve great status during that time. Thinking about his son made his smile, gripping his fist with great happiness and banging on the arm rest. Luckily no one else resided in the throne room by the time his thoughts and receded and he simply sighed in relief. However, as he began to think to himself again, he couldn't help but feel his head swoon with even stronger feelings when he thought of Sophia. She was a lovely creature, so full of compassion, life, and love. He always thought that he had lucked out with being betrothed to such a wonderful young lady, even though everything wasn't so great at first.
He closed his eyes, imagining her silk skin, flowing white hair, and her most beautiful blue eyes. Her eyes were the thing that mesmerized him the most since whenever he looked into them, all he would think of was Helsong and the beautiful snowy mountains there. Frau opened his eyes again, shaking his lightly and then getting up from his seat. He took another good look at the throne room and took in the image in his mind. Although times were very prosperous, any moment of chaos could ensue and he would lose the precious picture in his mind. Times were changing and no one was safe all the time, especially with the many spies and assassins who roamed the cities and districts. Many wanted to claim the thrones of the many kingdoms and there were many who would start wars for it. He shook is head in disappointment, knowing that there were people out there who would kill him if they had the chance. It was only fitting to keep a guard close to him, however Frau knew that it would be futile. Aside from Castor and his closest bodyguard, Frau was one of the most ruthless fighters. He was known for the many sieges and land battles fought over territory and resources. As one of the few Espers in the land, Frau was able to manipulate his power to his liking and disperse it strongly against his enemies. However, as he grew older and he used his powers more, it took a toll on his body.
Frau headed towards the main doors of the castle and stepped out, admiring his kingdom and the cities below. He saw ships come from the river and dock at the harbor to trade goods from various kingdoms. The shopping center, The Galerie du Roy, was bustling with many customers and he was pretty sure Fai was among them. And the many houses were packed with people running and and out of them. The city was in great condition, and he beamed proudly upon them. He ordered one of the guards to tell the stablemen to prepare his horse as he would go hunting with some of his men. After a few minutes he headed towards another chamber to change into his hunting outfit, a long white cape with gold trimmings, black hunting boots made from the finest leather in the kingdom, his bow and arrow slung behind his back, and a hunting dagger sheathed against his side. He removed his crown, a beautiful gold with garnets embedded into the side and small diamonds circling around the top. Frau watched his young servant set the crown down on a small maroon pillow with golden tassels, setting it down near his clean cape and clothes. He got onto his horse and took off with his men to the forest just a few miles out away from Evenfall. He was ready to hunt.

"Princes Fai." Camille stood up straight and closed her fan, revealing her face completely. Despite being only a noble, she was quite the beauty, hence why she was called "The porcelain doll" of Bourgeoisie. "I see, so the king is occupied. I trust he'll enjoy his new parcel. And you heard correct princess Fai. Our center is one of the kingdom's finest and successful. Fit for a king as you can see.
As for accompanying me, you'll have to make sure it's alright with you're parents. Since you are under age, I am a woman of rules and I would feel comfortable if one of your parents knew where you were going before leaving with me. Because once you leave this castle, technically you'd be my irresponsibility. I know you're not a child but since milady still lives with the king and queen, I feel it necessary to inform them where you will be going, especially if it's with me. So, if that's alright with you, I'll patiently wait until you can inform one of them." Camille gave her a kind smile as she clasped her hands together and rested them at her side.

As Camille mentioned that she would be under her care, Fai ignored her request to ask her parents for permission. "The King is out hunting, and the Queen is on her way home from Helsong. She'll be home by the end of today," she said while walking away from the young woman. Fai was a feisty young girl who always felt as if she didn't need anyone to tell her what to do...and it didn't help that she was the Princess either. "You may leave now. I will visit your father's shop in about two hours or so. I must change," she spoke while one of the servants escorted Camille out. Fai rushed to her room, asking one of the maidens to help her put on one the the fancy dresses that she received from her aunts when she was in the Kingdom of Arrah.
As she dressed in a lovely white dress with silver trimmings and flowing ruffles, she looked in the mirror vainly yet happily. Fai then brushed her long hair, smoothing any tangles and fixing her curls. The princess called upon one of the maidens to then put her crown on, adorning her lovely white dress with the most beautiful accessory. The crown glistened brightly, shining as the sun shone through the windows. The Princess admired herself for a moment then told one of her servants to prepare a horse. Fai may have been a girlish young woman, but she showed no fear in being independent and riding a horse even if there was the risk of her dress becoming dirty. However, she had mastered the art of riding with finesse.

The castle looked lovely as the sun began to set. Lanterns were hung on the trees, lighting up the castle walls with different shades of pink and gold. The entrance to the castle was lined up with carriages from neighboring kingdoms and Nobles from the towns within Rhisis. The King had gone all out to make a feast in honor of his daughter, however Rhisis prospered and a lavish feast was something that many had been looking forward to sometime now. Back in the day, during the rule of King Franz Kreuz Noir, the kingdom had thrown extravagant parties, feasts, and events in honor of the royal family and many people had enjoyed the tourists and visitors it attracted. However, this feast as something very special to the king since apparently many princes, as well as some nobles, would come to declare their love and devotion to the princess and offer their hand in marriage and attempt to court her. Although Fai was only a young woman, she was still expected to marry soon and bear children. However, the King's motive was unknown to her and she had just assumed it was a welcome home feast.
As Fai approached the kingdom from one of the secret paths leading to another entrance to the kingdom, she could hear the music from the nearby singers and musicians and smell the food cooking from the kitchen. She smiled with satisfaction as she saw the many carriages line up the entrance with beautiful women and handsome men exit from them, walking towards the castle to honor her. She smiled to herself, taking pride in the number of people in attendance, but it soon waned as she thought of Aramis. He sure had upset her but she didn't want the incident earlier to affect her current state of mind. She went into the castle, escorted with some servants and maidens to change into a proper dress and prepare for the feast.
The Prince was nearby, already flirting with a young woman as they wandered the castle. He had clearly drank too much wine as well as the woman, and they were practically getting a bit too close in the hallway. "Ugh..." she groaned as she rolled her eyes in annoyance while she walked by. Unfortunately for Fai, her room was only a few feet away from her brother's and whenever he had a woman with him, she could hear the moans and screams emitting from the chamber. She had gotten used to her brother's promiscuous ways, but he was the prince and she had no room to really say anything. Fai continued to her room to prepare, and upon entering a lovely light blue dress was laid on her bed. It was unlike her normal attire, with the puffy frills and ruffles, but more modern yet elegant. She read a small letter nearby to see that it was from the Queen herself, made in another kingdom across the sea. Fai smiled with excitement as she put it on, admiring herself in the mirror as the maidens attended to her hair and makeup.
Fai took a good look at herself, entranced with her appearance as she was given a diamond necklace to adorn her neck and beautiful clips of pearls for her hair. "My good ladies, do you think a lord will think i'm beautiful?" she asked teasingly as her servants nodded and agreed with her. Hopefully Aramis would enjoy seeing her, if he chose to come, as well as all her other guests. Fai put on her beautiful white heels and stepped out to head to her main foyer to greet her guests and mingle with them.

As the feast began at Evenfall Castle, Castor decided to mingle with the guests as they arrived. Since Castor Kreuz-Arrah Noir was the young prince and successor to the throne, he was expected to socialize with the noble families and leave his mark on them. He was a very charismatic young man, similar to his father and grandfather, and was able to attract the attention of many men and women. He had a sort of charm that many deemed very attractive and compelling; it was very rare for someone to have that trait and he was very lucky to have acquired it. While Castor roamed the Castle grounds, he decided to make his way towards the gardens and meet the young men and women who resided there while they waited for Fai to arrive. He thought of his younger sister for a moment and frowned a little since she was not punctual yet again. "She better hurry..." he mumbled to himself as he walked towards a group of young ladies admiring some of the roses. At that moment he disregarded Fai's punctuality and decided to "get to know" the group of women.
Castor smirked a little, but let it fade as he bowed down out of respect towards the group of women. After about 10 minutes he had gotten the attention of a pretty little thing, about 17 years old and the daughter of one of the wealthy lords within the kingdom. She had lovely long black hair and beautiful green eyes; her beauty was something he wasn't used to. Of course, Castor made it his mission to get this woman to join him in his chambers, wondering if she would be willing to...but then again who wouldn't since he was the prince? After a few more minutes she followed him to the castle, practically attached to him as they made their way to his chambers. He had probably about 4 glasses of wine in the duration of his talk with the women to that moment in the halls of the castle since he was stumbling and talking in a slurred manner. The young girl...Kora, if he remembered correctly, had taken a bold step and pressed her delicate young mouth against his. Of course he didn't protest and returned her romantic gesture as they made out in the middle of the hallway.
He could feel someone watch and he looked up to see Fai roll her eyes as she headed for her bedchamber to prepare for her feast. Castor shrugged it off since he was accustomed to her knowing of his ways, but he knew that she was just as bad with her toying of men. His friends and fellow noblemen always talked about how Fai broke their hearts or "spent time" with them and he was somewhat disappointed in her but had no room to talk at all...especially at the rate he was going. As his mind wandered, and he was kissing and feeling up the young woman he could feel another set of eyes on them. He looked up and raised a brow to see a beautiful young woman with dark violet hair and stunning blue eyes. She was lovely, and that was an understatement, because she stood in with such demure and grace that he stopped moving his hands over the woman's body. He noticed her somewhat disgusted and disappointed look but paid no heed to it at all; he was the prince and he could do what he pleased. Castor sighed and picked up the young girl and headed into his bedchamber to have some fun. However, he decided to keep a close eye on the young woman later during the event.

When Fai stepped out of the tower and headed towards the foyer to mingle with the guests she could hear the announcement, "Princess Fai" echo throughout the corridors and chambers. She curtsied politely to her guests and began to speak with some of the nobles about how lovely the party was. She enjoyed the fact that her parents threw lavish parties and feasts, but she still felt a small knot in her stomach about what Aramis had said earlier. He probably didn't mean to say it, and he did seem a bit solemn about the incident as she passed him in the carriage. She sighed a little, not really paying attention to the nobles speak as she looked around the room for him in case he was there. Her eyes caught noticed of a purple hair young woman and she noticed her wander off but was caught off guard as Aramis came to her from the other side.
She stepped back, surprised as she took a good look at him. He looked very handsome and very much different from his rugged, knight-in-training look. Fai was quite surprised as she heard him apologize about what had happened earlier and bowed her head back respectfully to accept his apology. [color-coral]"You were right though. However, I most humbly accept your apology. I, too, am very sorry for my actions earlier,"[/color] she said while standing upright again to look up at him. Aramis was a handsome young man and she could feel many eyes from the women nearby as they looked upon him, gazing at his strong figure and delicate features. Fai couldn't help stare at him and she didn't notice herself doing it at first until she heard someone mumbled something to her. She quickly snapped out of her 'trance' and looked away, blushing a little and hoping he didn't notice what had happened. If anyone knew that Fai, the young flirty princess, had a crush on someone then she would never hear the end of it.
She held her hand out, letting him take it as he escorted her to the gardens. The gardens were lovely, and there were many roses, lilies, and other types of wild flowers that grew there. The musicians played on a stage nearby the rose garden and she decided to take a walk there, away from her guests to spend time with Aramis. As he escorted her to the rose garden she could hear some mumbles from both men and women, wondering what she was planning. However, Fai had no secret motive or intention but simply wanted to talk to the young man. Upon reaching the rose garden she took a seat on one of the nearby benches and looked at the lovely flowers nearby, taking in the soft scent in her nose and thinking of what to say. "Why did you come?" she asked blatantly, looking up at him and cocking her head to the side with anxious eyes. Fai knew that he probably came to apologize to her but she wondered if he wanted to see her again. She frowned as she thought to herself with mixed thoughts and emotions; she felt like a 15 year old girl who had a crush on someone guy.

When Fai heard Aramis' answer she was quite intrigued since he was quite honest but still very humble with his remark. She smiled and didn't say another word to him but rather turned her gaze to the roses and began to admire their beauty. She felt a sense of grief overcome her and she immediately felt that if she was a flower, she would be a rose. They were so lovely and had an exquisite beauty to them which many people were fond of, but not many of them were willing to risk to get to it because of it's thorns. Fai did usually put a wall up with her emotions, and there were times where she fell in love or liked someone but of course they all led to disappointment. She extended her hand towards one of the white roses but pricked her finger, letting a small drop of blood hit the paper white petals. "Ow!" she said loudly, pulling her hand back and looking at her pricked finger. She frowned a little and then held her pointer finger up towards her lips, sucking the blood and then applying a little bit of pressure against it. She should've known better, but disregarded her inner scolding.
"Sorry. I can be a putz," she said, smiling a littler nervously as she rested her arm by her side once again. Fai could hear the announcer call upon his cousin to perform in honor of the royal family and heard him call out "Lady Violet Chavet" as the crowd applauded. "Shall we?" she asked, holding her hand back out to have him escort her back to the garden plaza. As the princess made her way towards the seating she could see Castor emerge from the threshold of the entrance without the young woman by his side; he was probably done with his business. She could see his formal garments all in a mess and wrinkled, and he looked like he had just woken up because his golden white hair was in an unruly manner. "Ugh, playboy," she said under her breath with a small smirk on her face as she jokingly sent him a look. Castor laughed a little and made his way towards Fai and Aramis. He took a seat next to them and looked over at Aramis, wondering who her new toy was. Unbeknownst to Castor, Fai had a crush and she sure as held wouldn't want her older brother to know. He would never let her live it down and would forever tease her childish crush. "She's a pretty little thing. Do you know anything about her?" she heard Castor whisper to her. She grunted a little but ignored him, ready to see Aramis' lovely cousin perform for the royal family.

As Fai watched Violet sing she couldn't help but smile and exchange glances with her brother. Castor seemed to be quite intrigued with Violet as well and Fai grumbled some inaudible so that he wouldn't hear. Her brother was a playboy prince, everyone knew it...even he did. However, his needs conflicted with her feelings. Just as Fai grew closer to the noble Aramis, she knew that he was close with his cousin and would possibly hurt or kill anyone who hurt Violet. Knowing her brother, she figured he would break her heart in due time and probably ruin her chances with Aramis. "Ugh...dammit...." she said to her herself while slumping in her chair just as the song finished. She could hear Castor applaud her, powerfully slamming his palms together to show his adoration of the young singer.
As Violet made her way over she noticed Castor get up from his seat and bow, and Fai did the same as well. Violet really was a lovely young girl, and she noticed the similarities between her and Aramis. Upon being asked about the song she blushed faintly; she really enjoyed the song and although she was spacing out during parts of it she still thoroughly liked it. "Your performance was beyond amazing. You really must speak with the King about performing regularly. He would pay you quite a sum," Fai remarked, stating the pros to working for the kingdom directly under the king. She then stopped and glared at Castor, warning him to keep off the young girl...at least for now. Before she could say anything else she noticed Castor ignore her and simply extend his arm out to Violet. "Would you be so inclined to escort me to the foyer? I would enjoy talking to you...and if you're interested in taking up my sister's offer, I would gladly take you to see my father," he said politely, giving her a soft smile. Fai frowned a little, but ignored him once again while only hoping he didn't pull something.
She then noticed Aramis take her hand in his, looking over at her finger that she hurt earlier. It had stopped bleeding but a small pink dot braised her small petite finger. Fai watched Aramis look at her with a somewhat concerned look on his face. She looked away, hiding her blush and her fervent grin as he asked if she was alright. 'Of course i'm alright...Doesn't he know that he's basically an Adonis and i'm sitting her blushing?! she thought to herself while attempting to regain her composure. She then turned to look at him, her icy blue eyes staring at him with a sweet look on her face. "I-I'm fine...it just stings but it'll go away," she said while getting up to go with him to get some wine.
