From intimidating silver knights, to vigorous Kings and Queens, nobody ever dreamed the world could transform so dramatically. Four Kingdoms dominated the land, from North, East, South, and West. Skirmishing with one another, showing no consideration for the villagers that surrounded the castle walls. Until one day. That day being when all the villagers of each Kingdom harvested that season's blessing of food. But to their horrifying surprise, the harvest was meager. And as food abruptly became scarce, both royals and peasants came half way into treating one another as equal in their appalling time of need. Each Kingdom agreed to the villagers wishes of peace. Leaving the Four Kingdoms to ponder what action should be done next. Though, even in such a situation, the Kingdoms refused to work as one.
Every villager knew of the Kingdoms, as well as what not to do if you so happened to meet them. Of course, nobody knew of the lives the Kings and Queens lived. Nor did they dwell on it. And because of the society the villagers lived in, they made it their first priority to stat alive.
Each Kingdom had advantages the other didn't have. Making that statement the main reason why there wasn't any blackmail. If anything, blackmail would be easier, yes. But since all the Kings and Queens were stubborn, or too 'independent', they repudiated any help that would be offered. With that, they took it upon themselves to target only one Kingdom to take over. Even so, they had some decencies when at war. And by calling it 'fair game' just shows how decent it really is. ( That being your definition of 'fair'. )
The kingdom in the North was ruled by King Francis Bonnefoy. His kingdom was renowned for its luscious dishes. Never failing to exceed taste and presentation. The king was father feisty in battle, not to mention hot himself. Though he was underestimated by the others, but he was indeed clever. Using his charms and mind to get whatever he so desired. His light faded blue eyes would be like a maze, mesmerizing, yet hiding underneath would be a warm, easing welcome. A small smile always sat upon his thin, light pink lips. Leaving his sun bleached hair, it wasn't too short, nor was it too long.
Alice Kirkland was the queen who tyrannized over the East. Her castle was the only one to ravish such green and pure beauty. The queen herself was a beauty as well. Her long golden hair always hung from a high ponytail, eyes as green as emeralds themselves, though no smile would be perched on her lips.
From there on, Roderich Edelstein was the king that conquered the South. His love for music meet no bounds. Of course, you could say that about his strong will when at battle. Psychically speaking though, he was assisted by a loyal, less than likely, friend. Roderich's rich chocolaty brown hair was accompanied by a set of light violet eyes. But despite his high class appearance, he was quit frugal.
Louise Beilschmidt was the queen of the West. Tough and serious, she does has her soft spot. Though, being calm and relaxed doesn't come so easily. Her hair was long, like a golden stream. And her eyes sky blue.
And so, as time pasted, the food slowly came back to it's original numbers. But since the problem resolved itself, nobody gave it to thought. Leaving the Kingdoms free to fight again.
