The Half-Blood Brigade

Emerick is the half blooded bastard son of Arnwald the Sky Tyrant, ruler of the Esperion Kingdom of the Wyrmshire Empire. Though a prince, his mixed blood prevents him from inheriting his father's throne. Resigned to his evident fate as a caged bird, he is content to live a fruitless but privileged life... until a task from his father throws him in the path of Trixie, big sister to a group of orphans she calls the Half-blood Brigade. Ambition rekindled with blossoming romance and the injustice towards those of mixed blood, Emerick finds himself on the conqueror's path, Trixie and her rag tag family at his side.

"Are you seriously still sulking about being locked in the office?" Trixie questioned with a roll of her eyes. "It's not like you were in there very long."

"I was in there all night!" Emerick exclaimed. "And to make matters worse, you stole my cake so I was hungry as well!"

"As if you don't have a spare key, and most likely a number of tricks to escape a locked room," Trixie shook her head. "I already told you, I'm not apologizing."

"Unrepentant as ever I see," He huffed. "And for your information, I did NOT have the spare key, because I only carry one key on my person! Jacoby has the spare, and NO he did not release me until late the following morning!"

"Quite by accident I might add," Jacoby interrupted with a snort. "I was quite convinced I was catching him in the act as it were, not rescuing him, or I would have left him there."

"Good to see where your loyalties lie," Emerick huffed.
