Chapter 1Love and Hate

Egues is an ancient country which ruled over the plain lands of Greek, under the colony of Athens. The country grew to be really strong as time grew, they became the most powerful country in Greek history, all because of their legendary heros. A war came through and it was the main reason why Egues became the most feared country in Greek. This was one of the most powerful and horrifying wars, ever fought in the history of Greek, it featured really powerful warlords known for their strength and agility, and because of this war, alot of them are remembered today as legends and also heros.

Hercules was one of them, he led Egues and made it possible for them to defeat the Athenian war lords such as apolo, Alexandra the great and alot more, but he died fighting a war for his lover. After his death, the whole country was in shock, someone who had never lost a fight was killed by a common boy, who cleaned the castle every night, a common boy who had never seen the horrors of war, some say he was the kings second son, who was meant to rule after him, some say he was just a servant in the castle of Troy, but the real story is that, he wasn't a knight, but he killed Hercules with three swift shots from his arrow. I guess people are destined to be great, no matter how terrible they are.

After this war, Egues became the most feared country in Greek, they were feared by great countries like Troy, Athens, and many more, but the truth still remains that a legend named Hercules was the beginning of their reign as a great country, so he became a god, who is now worshipped by Greeks.

Lix is the first son of Grand Duke Tryton, a descendant of Hercules himself. His father is the grand Duke of Athens, he has forty wives and about eighty offsprings, and Lix is the very first.

Lix is in his early twenties, he is known to be a really notorious young man, people say that his reign will be filled with terror because he is more cruel than a hungry leopard. He is a really hateful person, he despises commoners, especially females, he is the opposite of good.

Apart from all this, he is a really handsome young man, his hairs are pushed backwards as if they were combed with his fingers, he has a pointed nose, which almost revealed the bone structure of his nose, his eyes are sky blue in color, which adored his face with beauty, making him look really charming, and also dethroning his cruelty. His almost paled light skin which was endowed with ornaments of royalty, brought life to his gentle behavior, which hid his cruelty from the face of humanity, he never walks quickly, his lazy fits are always seen maundering an easy movement, with his right hand behind him, and his left hand dancing easily to the movement of his feet with his head pointed upwards. He never smiles, smirks, or even show emotions, his introvertive skills are one in a million and somewhat contagious, let's say he is a gentle man, filled with demonic intentions.

Tryton is the grand Duke of Athens, after Egues had conquered Athens, they were able to claim the whole of Greek, colonizing Athens with a governmental monarchy, leading every part of Greek with an iron fist, including Athens, which once had world power. Tryton is in his late seventies, but his age has nothing to do with his facial attraction, he was still looking young, despite his old age,the only thing that reveals his old age is his behavior and choice of words, which speaks wisdom. He has gray hairs, his face is a little bit wrinkled and can only be seen from a close range, his eyes are grey in color which are really charming, he has the same kind of pointed nose with his son Lix,infact Lix will make a good twin brother to him, if he was a little bit older.

" Why has thou chosen to be cruel to Hermina, a fair maiden who hast chosen to dote for thee. The fair heavens are angered by thy cruelty to that servant, Hercules, the god of war, thy ancestors, looks down on you with shamefulness

" Tryton said while seated on his throne to his son who was seen seated beside him.

Hermina is a servant in the castle, who caught the eyes of Tryton the very first day he saw her, after that day, he had chosen Hermina to be his sons wife, because he saw great potentials in her. Hermina is an Eguesian, her name Hermina, came from a Greek goddess known as Hermit. Hermina dotes for Lix, but Lix had no feelings for her except hatred. Hermina is also in her early twenties, she is the servant of queen Benita, she has nothing to do with serving the king. She is a really pretty damsel, she has sky blue eyes, which pointed out like arrows, causing every gaze from her ,extremely charming. Her nose are somewhat flat, but small, she had pink lips and a really satisfying shape. Infact she was the dream of every young man in Greece.

" Father, I love her not, she hast no class, she is not of royalty, just an ordinary dirty servant" Lix said. " I love her not, I don't care if it hurts, my heart belongs to no one, father spare me thy words, cause I will love her not" Lix continued.

" Why hast thou chosen to be cruel to fair Hermina, to the extent of stripping her off her clothes in the presence of mine knights, she is a maiden, a virgin at that, you had no right to show forth her naked to men, they could rape her." Said Tryton.

" Father, she spoked words of annoying dote, embarrassed herself in mine presence, I had no choice but to embarrass her the more, and I promise that the next time she does such thing again, I will make sure her head rolls to her mother's coven." Said Lix.

" so saith I thus, as grand Duke of Athens, if thou makes an attempt on her life, thy head shall crawl under my temple" threatened Tryton.

" Empty threats thou hast given, empty threats from mine so-called father, how I can't wait for thee to join thy ancestors, and thou kingly ornaments, shall be mine, and I shall rule Athens with an iron fist." Lix said and then left the room.

" Happy be thee, Duke Tryton" a beautiful lady said as she appeared immediately after Lix, she is decorated with ornaments of royalty, but is more endorsed with beads, she is wearing a crown on her head, which glittered to the orders of the morning sun ray, her beautiful face carries a charming dark brown eyes, as she blinks them at every little gaze, she has pointed nose, almost the same as Lix, but a little bit smaller, her ears are pointy, it is as if it wants to point to the sky, she enters with a train of maids, she is the shortest amongst them, standing at their middle and maintaining a majestic movement, she is the first wife of Grand Duke Tryton her name is Lady Hermia.

" Happy be thee, Lady Hermia," Tryton says with a disturbing look on his face, he is covered with cloud of fury, as his anger screamed out of his face.

" Forgive thy son,

He knoweth not what he hath done,

His cruelty is noted by thee heavens,

Soon he shall know of thy anger,when

Beaten" Hermia said with a tone of apology, but she was still maintaining her pride as a queen.

" Thy youth lacks respect for me," Tryton said with a loud voice, which jolted across the room, the tone was a definition of true anger.

" So saith I thus,

That if thy youth disrespect my throne,

His head shall be on mine court,

He is no longer mine offspring, as far as mine knowledge hast grown".. Tryton says.

" Thy words filled with rage,

Thee must retire to thy bed,

To avoid anger instead" Hermia said, ignoring the fact that her husband just disowned her son Lix.

The Duke is now seen, leaving the throne room, he encounters with the door, slowly like an old man crawling for movements, he meets Hermina on his way to the door.

" Happy be thee, great Duke of Athens, thy presence delights mine eyes." Hermina said as she bends her knees to greet Tryton.

" Happy be thee," Tryton says and exits the room without even saying much to Hermina.

" Happy be thee, Queen Hermina, thy beauty makes the sun jealous, thy beauty never seizes to amaze the darling moon, as much as the stars may be, thy worth is much more numerous" Hermina says as she bows to the queen, to greet her, giving alot of compliments, inorder to soften her mind.

" Happy be thee, fair youth, me is pleased with thy adorable words" Lady Hermia replied.

" Why is the face of the queen of maidens, unhappy, are thou not pleased with me." Hermina said.

" Not thee fair youth, thy kind words sends a gentle touch on mine heart, me thinks that thee should be mine most humble maid." Hermia replied.

" Thy words flatter me, but thy expression dethrones thy words, why is mine queen unhappy." Hermina continued.

" The one thee dotes for, mine son, the one that makes thee blithe, he is the beholder of mine happiness, and he hast no intentions of letting it go" Hermia explained.

Immediately, Hermina's mode changed to a less happy one, muscles of worrisome, began to cloud her mind " what hast thy son done, to deserve thy anger" Hermina said with a sad look on her face.

" Not to worry fair maid, retire to thy post, and I shall retire to my bed, for the king requires mine attention" Hermia ordered.

" Yes mine queen, I shall do as thou hast spoken." Hermina said while taking a bow and leaving the room. She picks up a tray which she brought on her way in and retires to her post.
