Author's Note: This is a definite AU story. It has been a work in progress ever since the moment of inspiration I received from the HM episode "Lilly's Mom Has Got It Going On" during the class scuffle. This will be a Liley story, it's just a long road to the finish line, but bear with me and I will make it worth it.
Prologue
Once upon a time there existed a great and majestic land by the name of Malibu, where four countries had planted their roots and flourished under the leadership of many great men and women.
There was the peaceful Sarahtopia where nature was embraced in every possible way. The majority of citizens lived in tree houses and were vegetarians. Their elected rulers were those of the House of Saint. The public was often entertained by the outspoken daughter, Lady Sarah, Baroness of Sarahtopia, who traveled the countryside with a message of peace and love.
Bordering Sarahtopia was Okenland. There the Oken family had ruled for centuries, currently the next in line to rule was the quirky Sir Oliver, Baron of Okenland. The clumsy but endearing Baron was prone to entangling himself in awkward situations but always managed to escape with a laugh. Okenland people were proud of their beautiful beaches and friendly disposition.
The farthest westward of the four countries, Lillitania, was renowned by all as the most independent and proud nation. Queen Heather, was admittedly uptight, but still kind in her own way. She was courageous and watchful of her naïve daughter Princess Lilly. The Royal House of Truscott has suffered through a crisis when the King and Queen has decided to divorce, but little had changed and the people of Lillitania were happy to be ruled by a woman.
Then there was eastward lying, noble Milantis, perhaps the greatest nation to have existed in those times. Unfortunately the royal family had lost their matriarch, Queen Susan, in a horrible carriage accident mere years ago and treasured the remaining members: Lord Robbeth Ray, Sir Jackseth, and Lady Miley. The tragedy of the House of Stewart had prompted the former King Robbeth Ray to divide the nation into six dukedoms. Each was left to a noble family. The House of Stewart ruled over the massive land of Montana. Lord Robbeth named his son Sir Jackseth the Earl of Montana and his daughter Lady Miley, Duchess of Montana.
Hollywood Isle was ruled by the Ryan family. Their handsome son Sir Jaketh, Duke of Hollywood Isle, was well-liked by the public. He often appeared at sporting events, showing off his signature sword stance and perfect smile.
Envy Isle was ruled by a pair of Lords, the more powerful Lord Addison and his cherished daughter, Countess Amber, and the Duke DeWitt, whose daughter Lady Ashley was often questioned on her intelligence, or lack thereof.
The smallest of the six lands was the mountainous area of Waverly. There the Lady Mikayla, as instructed by her governess Margo, ruled with an iron-fist.
The dukedom of Seaview was ruled by the Viscount, Sir Francis Corelli. Sir Francis was the great-great-great-great-grandson of the explorer Sir Walter Corelli who the Corellian Sea was named for. In honor of his respected ancestor, Sir Francis had devoted his lands to the education of the future rulers and servants of Malibu.
Mere miles from Seaview was the extensive Las Costas de Rico, the beaches of Milantis, which were entrusted to the young Duke Rico VI. The duke was slightly power-hungry and greedy, but could be swayed by a promising deal.
But all great things must come to an end, and that time was upon Malibu. The countries, all neighboring the Corellian Sea, were feuding and peace seemed like a distant cloud drifting away on the sea breeze.
A/N: Well it's very different to say the least, hopefully in a good way. The prologue was to explain the situation and characters so that I could immediately commence with the story in chapter one which I plan on posting within the next two days. Please review and share your thoughts, I'd love to know what your response is to this particular story so far. Thanks for reading!
