Chapter 1: The Bad News
The kingdom of Windsor was ruled by the Royal family, House Salvatore. The ruling king and queen of Windsor were His Majesty, King Giuseppe of House Salvatore and Her Majesty, Queen Lillian 'Lily' of House Salvatore.
They had two sons and a daughter- the heir to the throne, His Royal Highness Prince Alarick, His Royal Highness Prince Stefan and Her Royal Highness Princess Royal, Eleanor 'Elena'.
The seat of the Royal House, Palace Kings Landing, was in the capital city Mystic Falls. The King had a brother Prince Julian, Duke of Yore. He lived in the Palace Caster with his two daughters- Princess Rebecca and Princess Brianna 'Bonnie'.
The Royal family was proud of their pure blue blood lineage. They were ruling in the 21st century but still able to manage their lineage.
Marriage was arranged only between the Royal family and the other noble families. As an example, the queen was the daughter of Duke of Valeshire of House Bennett. She was by birth a highborn noble lady, formerly known as Lady Lillian of House Bennett.
The Salvatore family was quite unique.
King Giuseppe was a kind and honorable person. The people loved him. But the Queen was very clever, proud and ambitious. Still most of the people were fooled by her fake kindness anyway.
Prince Alarick, the crown prince takes after his father. He was kind, responsible and sincere. He was the most favourite child of the king and queen and he was loved the people of Windsor the most.
But the same could not be said for the two younger were also very popular. News of them was always on the cover of the tabloids but most of the time not for the right reasons.
Prince Stefan was known for his skills in sports and archery. But he was an infamous playboy. Drinking, parties and one night stands were his daily activities.
Princess Eleanor 'Elena' was one step ahead of him. Her lifestyle was messier than Stefan's. Parties, nightclubs, drugs were part and parcel of her life. She was also an infamous gambler, a good one for sure.
In spite of these, the three siblings were very close.
Duke of Yore, Prince Julian was an intelligent and fashionable man. But he was jealous of his brother and his brother's family. And his two daughters also got the jealousy from him. Specially Princess Rebecca felt competitive of Elena. So she was always busy keeping a better image.
But now the lives all of the members of the Royal family were going to change.
….
At 2 am, a helicopter landed at a nearby field of a nightclub in Paris.
Princess Elena was having a great time with her friends in the party. She was drunk, slightly high and dancing like crazy. Suddenly her personal guard approached her.
"Your Highness"
"What? Didn't I tell you not to intrude during party?" Elena seemed irritated.
"Your Highness, His Majesty the King has sent Ser James. He has told you to return to the palace as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"Ser James says it is an emergency."
Elena sighed "Fine. Let's go."
….
A car stopped in front of a mansion in the nearby city of the capital at 3 in the morning. A royal knight came out of the car and went into the house. There was a party going on. So it took him half an hour to find Prince Stefan's personal guard Peter.
There was a knock at the door and then the door opened.
Peter entered the room.
"Your Highness, please wake up"
Prince Stefan slowly opened his eyes and saw a girl was beside her. Memories of the night came back to him. He met the girl at his friend's party and of course slept with her.
The girl also got awoken by then.
"Peter, you are not allowed to intrude like this." Stefan said.
"I am sorry, Your Highness but His Majesty the King has sent a knight. He demands you to immediately return to the palace. It is code emergency" Peter replied.
"Fine" Stefan looked at the girl beside him. "Let us get dressed then."
Peter looked at the girl, "You are also going with us, Miss Caroline Forbes."
Stefan was surprised, "How do you know her? I just met her last night"
"She is the daughter of the head of the Royal security details, Mr. John Forbes."
"Damn!" Stefan looked at her. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Caroline replied, "I didn't know you were a prince."
"Are you kidding me?" Stefan raised his eyebrow "Everyone knows me. I am Prince Stefan of House Salvatore, son of His Majesty King Giuseppe, King of Windsor."
Caroline shook her head, "I was brought up in USA. I am new here."
"And also I don't read tabloids much you know, just the important news." Caroline smirked.
Stefan glared at her. She had guts!
"We are getting late, Your Highness," Peter said.
Stefan sighed.
"Give us a minute to dress first, Peter."
…
After freshening up and changing clothes, Elena went to the throne room where her father had called her.
She found her mother, Queen Lily, sitting in a sofa.
"Mom, what's happening? Why did dad call us here?"
Lily looked at her daughter.
Her aristocratic vibe was always attractive and intimidating. She walked, talked in such a way that she owned everything. Most people say Elena got her arrogance from her mother.
"I don't know but I might have found out." Lily glared at her daughter and showed her the headline of a cover of a tabloid.
Elena looked at it.
The headline was – Princess Eleanor 'Elena' with drugs again!
Under the headline there were pictures of her smoking pot and dancing in the club.
"There is nothing left to say to you. I told you to at least avoid these situations" Lily scolded her.
"But you never hear! Scandals after scandals! It's fifth time at a row. Every week you do something like this"
"It's not like I do this on purpose! There are paparazzi everywhere."
Elena snapped.
"Yes! That's why I always tell you to be careful, to live at least decently, dress carefully" Lily snapped back.
"You don't tell me how to live my life, Queen! I will dress the way I want."
"See? Your behavior had led your wardrobe malfunction last week. This behavior is the reason for these scandals our family has to face."
"Last week's nipple slip is not my fault at all, okay? You just…."
Elena was interrupted by Stefan.
"Elena, Mom, stop fighting!"
At that moment the door opened and King Giuseppe entered the room. He was looking devastated.
"What happened, dad?" Elena asked softly.
She loved her dad very dearly. She could not see him sad at all.
"Alarick is dead" said Giuseppe.
Then there was only pin drop silence in the room.
A/N: I just tried something different. A lot of the plot, concept and names are from Game of thrones and The royals.
Damon will be seen in the next chapter.
Please review and tell me how you feel about it.
