Aurora’s dawn

Here i was sitting down on trimmed grasses, leaning on a sturdy tree. My big violet eyes were completely fixated on the book i was reading. In this large enchanting garden, i was not alone.

Accompanying me were my personal maid Rava and my personal guard Guerin. Because i, Aurora Sersia Calnaris, was a princess and the daughter of Talalgan Calnaris, The Emperor of the great kingdom of Kairos.

Kairos was a very vast kingdom, flourishing with knowledge and beauty. We were the center of trade and power in the continent and possibly the world. Many sought our strength and desired our knowledge. Thanks to my father, our position in this world was made possible.

And to add salt to the wound, in terms of appearance i was much more superior than them. I suppose the gratitude goes to my mother. In my opinion, she was the most beautiful woman in Kairos.

Without further ado, we were finally allowed to sit when father arrived, quite majestically. It has not been long since his last kingdom conquest, i wondered why he had so much soldiers standing by in the throne hall.

Without uttering a single word, he took his seat and so did we.
