The Royal Family
Three weeks have passed since the first day of our arrival in this kingdom called Vaneh. As we journeyed through the kingdom towards the Royal Family's castle, we learned more about the family.
It was commonly known that the royal family consisted of the King, Queen, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and the twin prince and princess. But after a certain incident several years ago, the king and queen passed away, leaving the Crown Princess to become the next Queen as she is today. There was also the King's younger brother who became the Duke along with his family of his wife and son. The former Queen's family had for some unknown reason become disconnected with the royal family. No one knew much about them and no one decided to look into it.
In the royal court, there was a group of nobles and ministers that reported every detail to the current Queen. But for some unknown reason even though problems were reported, nothing changed. The world continued to move on without the current Queen's move for change.The villagers of every town that we've been through had considered that strange.
This day, we stood before the castle gates. The soldiers had told every person that the Queen was not having any audiences. But we stood waiting. We wanted answers. By midday, Celeste had gotten tired of waiting and exclaimed, "We've come this far and we can't even gain audience to see the Queen!"
I turned to look at her. I knew that it was frustrating. I sighed, "Shall we come back tomorrow?"
Peter shrugged while Celeste nodded very enthusiastically. I nodded, "Let's go back to the inn for now."
I glanced back at the castle gates once more before following Celeste and Peter back to the inn.

Two pairs of eyes watched from the top of a tree as Eve, Celeste, and Peter left for the inn that they stayed in. The two pairs of eyes belonged to two people. Both wore a hooded coat and black clothing underneath.
One of the two had long platinum blonde hair, while the other had short jet black hair. Which in the end, identified them as female and male.
The female turned to the male, "She looks exactly like the Queen."
The male shrugged, "I suppose if we haven't seen her for nearly 10 years. It's a good assumption to how she looks now."
The female shook her head, "Not only that. Her aura. It's practically identical to the Queen's aura."
The male sighed, "I suppose you want to follow them?"
The female nodded. With that, both of them vanished from where they had originally stood.
