Author's Note
Okay, so this might be a short chapter, mainly introductory and to get used to plot/situation. I'm going to try to update as soon as I can (I promise!) and if not, BE PATENT. Obviously this is Cardverse and I will get creative with the terms, hehehe. This chapter has a bit of RoChu in it, but nothing too extreme, Oh well, enjoy! This chapter is written in Yao's POV.
'Yao! Get your lazy ass down here and clean up the dining hall!'
The order was fresh in Yao's mind, though he was both confused and frustrated. Alfred had servantsto do the dirty work, yet the Jack was still put to labor with a mop and bucked nearly every day. He knew his job, which was to protect the King and Queen and deal with the servants and royal subjects. Cleaning was not his job. the man released a sigh, then continued down to the dining hall, he royal blue robes flowing freely behind. Once he got there, to his surprise, the hall was clean. A small servant (who was holding a mop) grinned at him. Yao returned the grin, then continued back to his chamber in the castle. Once there, he spotted a note and a small dove on his writing desk by his window. The dove chirped in acknowledgement then pecked the letter. Yao picked it up and unfolded it, instantly seeing the Club insignia on the corner. The Jack grinned warmly then whispered, "Ivan..." Yao then began to read it.
"Yao,
My love, it has been to long since we've had a moment to be in each other's presence. It's almost felt like a dream. The war has took it's toll on the both of us, yes? Your King will not give up. I am truly sorry, my sweet flower. I wish the war was over, I long to see you again. Yet I will fight, for all that is worth, to succeed against your King.
Love-
The King of Clubs, Ivan Braginski"
Yao felt his heart swell then shatter. Ivan could be so stubborn, always having to fight. Though, if he didn't, he'd be withdrawn from his current suit. Meaning, that he'd be thrown from his place as king. This was the fiercest war yet, being between the Spades and Clubs. It's lasted for at least two winters and is only getting worse. The only communication available for the two loves to talk through is message by bird. Ivan's dove was specially trained to do this, luckily. He sighed picking up a quill and dipping it in ink. He then got a sheet of paper and wrote,
"Ivan,
The King is getting worse. He's planning his troops to invade through the Diamond's territory to get to yours. You must stop this. If he succeeds, we will be in war with them too. Oh how I wish I was your Queen. This war wouldn't exist in the first place.
Love-
The Jack of Spades, Yao Wang
Yao folded the letter with a sigh, then gave it to the bird, which accepted it and flew out Yao's window to deliver it to Ivan. A tear slid down his cheek as he watched it depart into the snowy mid-day sky.
Okay. Just to be clear, I WILL EXPLAIN PAST/RELATIONS/ECT LATER~! I didn't mean for this to be so short/confusing, hahaha. The next chapter will be better, kay? And also, thanks for reading. 3
