Julian grinned as he felt a rush of excitement while he scanned the list of potential women before him.
"Now that's a lot of points," he thought clearly imagining the possibilities that lay ahead.
Each noble and their family member held the promise of a significant points, and the idea of expanding his conquests sent a thrill through him.
Suddenly, a woman stepped into the grand hall. Her presence seemed to command the very air around her. She was dressed in an elegant, flowing royal attire adorned with luxurious jewels that glinted in the light,. She was an ethereal beauty that left everyone momentarily speechless.
Her long, flowing hair framed her face that could only be described as heavenly, with features so perfect that Julian was momentarily lost his thoughts.
The crowd instinctively stood up and kneeled in her direction as their voices echoed in unison, "We greet you, Your Majesty!"
Julian's heart raced as he realized this stunning figure was none other than the queen of the kingdom. He had only heard whispers of her grace and power, but seeing her in person was an entirely different experience.
Julian couldn't help but admire the queen as she moved gracefully through the hall. Her striking red hair cascaded down her back, shining like flames under the chandelier. Her blue eyes pierced through the crowd as if she were assessing each person with a single glance.
Behind her stood imposing royal guards, their presence radiating power and discipline. They were clad in royal armor and were clearly some of the kingdom's most elite soldiers.
Julian's mind raced as he considered the possibilities. The queen was not just any noble person, she was a formidable force, and he couldn't help but wonder how their paths might cross in the future.
Julian's gaze then flickered between his mother, Duchess Regina, and the queen, and he couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity between them.
Both women shared the same striking blue eyes. Their red hair, though styled differently, flowed with a same hue. It was as if he was looking at two sides of the same coin, each embodying grace and authority in her own right.
He couldn't help but wonder about the connections that tied his family to the royal bloodline.
Julian could not hold back his curiosity and he asked Regina, " Mother, why do you and the queen resemble so much. Its as if I am looking at two sides of the same coin."
Regina chuckled at his question and replied, "Because she is my mother."
Julian's eyes widened in surprise as he processed his mother's words. "Wait, the queen is your mother?" he exclaimed, trying to wrap his mind around the revelation.
Regina chuckled softly with a hint of pride in her voice. "Yes, dear. I'm her eldest daughter. The resemblance isn't just a coincidence."
Julian felt a rush of emotions; excitement, confusion, and a newfound sense of connection to the royal lineage. It explained a lot about the strength and authority he had always felt from his mother.
"So that makes me… part of the royal bloodline?" he asked.
Regina nodded, her expression turning serious for a moment. "Yes, you are of royal bloodline." she said with a smile.
Julian couldn't help but grin, realizing that his ambitions might just have a clearer path ahead of him than he had thought.
Regina smiled warmly at Julian. "You are the grandson of the king," she said as her eyes sparkled with pride.
Julian blinked in surprise. "Why didn't I know? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"We wanted to protect you from royal responsibilities," Regina replied gently. "We wanted you to forge your own path without the weight of our lineage hanging over you and besides, there are somethings that you better not have knowledge of."
Julian could feel her sadness especially when she spoke the last sentence. He was curious and intrigued about what the truth was, but he did not continue to ask her.
"I get it, mother. I appreciate that you wanted me to have my freedom." Julian said with a smile spreading across his face.
Regina nodded, her expression softening. "And now, with this knowledge, you can decide how to use it to shape your future."
Julian's smile widened as he imagined the possibilities. Just think of the points I could rack up if I conquer the whole royal palace, he thought as excitement coursed through him.
Everyone there is connected to me in some way, family ties, blood relations, all leading to a treasure of points. The queen, my grandmother, my mother, all those powerful women around me…
He felt a rush of ambition at the thought. With every conquest, I'd not only gain points but also strengthen my position and power. The royal palace could be my playground.
Julian watched as the updated list appeared before him, now filled with even more enticing possibilities.
The potential women now included the queen, his aunts, and other alluring members of the royal palace, each more captivating than the last.
