I n the Kingdom of Sepher, it was well known that each member of the society had a reputation to uphold. It wasn??t just the simple ??king??, ??blacksmith??, ??servant??, reputation, but one of a strong kingdom and of a proud kingdom. Sepherns were known to have gentle women and ruthless men. War was not what this kingdom was known for, but for the thirst of battles. Fights were encouraged, as long as they were regulated, and battle tournaments were seasonal. However, if one were to enter into the kingdom with this knowledge alone, they would be sorely disappointed when meeting the populous. The men were not overly masculine and buff, but of regular stature, while the women were simple and did the daily chores that sometimes even required hunting??something gentle women weren??t known to do in many other kingdoms. The main bulk was surrounded by a peaceful town, protecting the live culture and traditions that were held close to the royal family. Sepher was overall a peaceful kingdom in terms of war with other kingdoms though, so it was no wonder that marriage was one of the things that others would seek after. Of all the marriages that were offered though, the King had wanted only one marriage to go through??that if the Kardra kingdom. The beautiful princess wasn??t just sought after because of her looks, but because of the alliance that it would create between the two neighboring kingdoms. However, unfortunately for the King, his son was less than adequate for the princess?? requirements. Not that Prince Indio was any less of a good person with good qualities. On the contrary, the twenty-two year-old prince was a great warrior??perhaps not the best, but working on it??and had refined features. Exotic, if one would think of it in those terms. The King, Hayden, was of fair skin and fair hair, something that one would have expected the prince to have. However, the Queen had been from the exotic far reaches, splashing into the royal bloodline the vibrant blue eyes, brunette, nearly chestnut hair, and naturally caramel skin. If the kingdom didn??t know about the queen so openly and seen the pregnancy through, they might have questioned the King??s relations towards the seemingly foreign prince. On such a day, murky with rain and the fog of earthly calmness, the guards seemed to find use for what they had been searching for. Knights of the search really, sent out to scour the kingdom for a musician. One after another, Hayden had interviewed them and waved them off, not seeing the majestic quality of their instruments. The flute wouldn??t do, as it was too windy and would seem just a tad bit unrefined to be spitting into a pipe, while the strangeness of drum-like instruments were definitely too loud and rambunctious. Indio needed to learn a refined art of music, something soothing to the ears and made him look like an angelic creature. It was the only quality that the neighboring princess had requested of Indio, before accepting his hand in marriage. The said prince had almost just turned and walked away, but Hayden had a good mind to press his elbow against his son??s back to keep him where he was politely. After a small break of just sitting on the throne, resting his head after a long line of listening to ??music??, he decided that viewing possible prospects for the day was enough. The King brushed back his blonde hair and stood up, about to leave, before knights came into the throne room. They were specific ones, marked with a silver tassel on the hilts of their swords, to inform anyone who knew the symbolic nature of the tassels that they were the King??s ??hunters?. With them, was a homeless person it appeared, tattered clothes and dirt caked form. Nearly as dark as Indio??s, the King mentally noted, raising an eyebrow. ??Is there a reason you bring him before me?? he asked, the guards bowing before Hayden as the King raked his eyes searchingly over the form. ??Sire, we saw that he had a violin in his possession. Perhaps, he is a prospect?? one of the knights spoke up, curious if he had found at someone of use. At this, one of the other knights seemed to prod at Nikkolas?? back, as if to get the other male to do something to prove his worth.
