Chapter one
The King sat on his throne, high and mighty. His stance displayed pride and power, a force never to be reckoned with. His opinion was forced upon his kingdom. Neo-Queen Serenity sat beside him on her smaller throne to his left, not his right hand in anything, her opinion on matters didn't count, his famous phrase to her was 'Women should be seen and not heard.' She sat her eyes in her lap twisting her thumbs. The Kingdom when they looked upon her felt sympathy for her, for someone who used to so bright and full of life, her smile could melt even the coldest heart. Now she was reduced to a quiet and lifeless looking little girl.
Serenity glanced at her husband Diamond, his straight posture and cat like glaring eyes bore right into the peasants who came to lay their tax money at his feet. She excused herself, she couldn't look at him anymore, she remembered the violence of last night she shook her head and asked to be excused, he waved her away telling her he didn't want her in his sight for the rest of the day. She couldn't believe how his brother Endymion, his right hand in everything could sit and let this happen. Yet, she slapped herself in side; her heart didn't know why she just didn't stand up to her husband and speak out. Why did she even take it?
Serenity smiled weakly at the guards to the nursery, they pushed open the grand doors and watched her walk in, her white silk dress swaying with every step she took. The balcony doors were shut, the curtains were blowing slightly from the wind creeping through the gaps. The room was large, spacious and filled with toys only a kid could dream of. Serenity turned around to the large pink bed, it had happy unicorns and moons stencilled over the snow white pillars. Pink silk and satin sheets flowed down from the top of the pillars. This room was peaceful and happy despite the crashing sound of thunder outside the windows.
She found her daughter sitting up shaking like a leaf, clutching the bed covers to her neck and sucking on her thumb while hugging her Luna P for dear life. Her heart sank for her daughter. It was a Man's world and at five she was terrified of thunder. She wondered where the nanny was. Rini was the only thing that Serenity found comfort and solstice in. She sat on the bed and hugged her daughter gently in her arms. Gently soothing her with soft words of comfort and stroking her hair out of her puffy eyes.
Serenity held Rini until she had fallen asleep, she had started to doze off herself until she heard the doors open and shot up, carefully laying Rini back down onto her pillow. She quickly kissed Rini's forehead and walked to the door. Pausing in her step when she saw Endymion. Her eyes flashed as his had no feeling in them.
"My Queen." he bowed politely. For however strict he looked his tone of voice was always warm. "The King commands your presence in his quarters."
"But he dismissed me earlier for the rest of the day." She said, gulping.
"My lady, a command is a command." He said flatly. She could tell what was coming. Diamond wanted his daily romp.
He nodded, keeping her eyes on the ground as she walked with Endymion, "My lady you should know I have told my brother that you are his queen not his object." He said lightly, his lips twitching into a smile.
She looked up him surprised, "You did?" she asked quietly. She went back to looking at the ground as they walked. "Thank you. But Diamond is Diamond he will never change. And I am his object, he owns me My Lord."
Endymion nodded disapprovingly. He stopped outside as they got to Diamonds quarters. She put her hand on the icy handle of the door as the guards stepped aside. Tears started to form in her eyes as she pulled her cloak around her tighter. Endymion struggled to look away. Why couldn't he help her? He couldn't find any words to say to her. He bowed, turned on his heal and walked away. Serenity thought he was a mysterious and unpredictable character. She took a deep breath and walked in.
Endymion sat in his quarters; his desk was piled with papers of War, Army documents and Peace negotiations. The candle flickered in the breeze blowing through the cracks, he couldn't put pen to paper but could only think of the fear spread across Serenity's face and her shaking body as Diamond would beat her and violently attack her during his daily activity with her. If she didn't please him she'd be demeaned as useless or worse. The poor girl couldn't produce a son either; Diamond took out his anger for that on her too, she could only produce a girl, the last few still born children had been girls. She carried a son once early into the marriage but had miscarried it. Diamond then turned to burying himself into Kingdom business.
He could hear her faint cries of hurt through the thin stone cold wars, his quarters were beside his brothers. He shook his head and put himself into his work.
Hours later he could hear the cries die into rhythmic whimpers, he could see lightening flashing outside and the smell of acrid, burnt out fires simmering in the air.
