Silent Departures and New Beginnings

After his exile from Sibiah, Felix, the young wizard, disappeared from the kingdom, leaving behind only a void where his presence had once been.

He became a distant memory, a name whispered in hushed conversations by those who had known him.

He vanished into the vast world beyond the kingdom's borders, never to be seen or heard from again.

For Crowley, Felix's father and the ArchWizard of House Malkin, the shame and disgrace that his son's actions had brought upon their family and the Malkin House weighed heavily on his heart.

Yet, amid the chaos and tumultuous events that had unfolded, he found himself mourning the loss of his beloved son more than anything else.

The title and position he had held as the special advisor to the king seemed less important to him compared to the emptiness left by Felix's absence.

Months passed, and the kingdom of Sibiah was enveloped in an uneasy silence. The consequences of forbidden love continued to cast their long shadow over the palace, affecting not only the lives of those directly involved but the very structure of the royal family.

King Theophilus, despite his love for his daughter, found himself unable to fully forgive or forget the embarrassment and shame she had brought upon the royal family.

His absence during the months of Princess Amarissa's pregnancy spoke volumes of his inner turmoil.

The once-close bond between father and daughter had been strained.

In contrast, Queen Elizabeth, known for her unwavering love and devotion, stood firm and resolute by her daughter's side.

She provided the emotional support and love that Amarissa needed during her pregnancy.

With each passing day, the queen's heart swelled with mixture of both pride and compassion for her daughter, as she watched her transform from a young princess into a soon-to-be mother.

The months of waiting were filled with secrecy and trepidation.

Amarissa had confided in her trusted lowborn friend, who had been her ally throughout the whole ordeal.

With the help and that of trusted medical maids, she embarked on a path of secrecy and solitude as her due date drew nearer.

Nine months after the tumultuous events that had altered the course of her life, Princess Amarissa gave birth to a healthy and vibrant bouncing baby girl.

Amarissa held her newborn daughter in her arms, her heart overflowing with a love that transcended the boundaries of time and circumstance.

She named the child Felissa, a name that held deep meaning and symbolism for her. It was a combination of her own name, Amarissa, and the name of her beloved, Felix.

Felissa's very existence was a testament to the forbidden love and passionate night that had bound her parents together.

In the quiet moments that followed, as mother and daughter shared their first precious moments together, Amarissa couldn't help but reflect on the tumultuous journey that had led her to this point.

The forbidden love she had shared with Felix, the consequences they had faced, and the sacrifices made were all interwoven into the intricate series of events of her life.

The kingdom of Sibiah remained unaware of the birth of the princess's child, a secret held closely by those who had played a part in bringing Felissa into the world.

Following the birth of little Princess Felissa, She was kept concealed, away from prying eyes and judgmental tongues.

Her existence was known only to a select few who had played a role in her secretive arrival, protecting her from the shameful talks and potential embarrassment that might tarnish the royal family's Image and reputation.

Despite the secrecy surrounding her birth, little Felissa was a radiant and vivacious child.

Her laughter reverberated through the palace's hidden chambers, filling the hearts of those who knew of her existence with a sense of joy and hope.

She was a testament to the love that had defied culture and tradition, the determination of her mother, Princess Amarissa, was to protect her at all costs

As Felissa grew, her vibrant spirit shone even brighter.

She was full of life, a force of nature that seemed to defy the shadows of secrecy that had enshrouded her birth. Her energy was boundless and illimitable, her curiosity insatiable, and her laughter contagious.

A few months after Felissa's birth, as the king and queen grew older, the kingdom's court began to raise concerns about the lack of a male heir to the throne.

Tradition dictated that a royal family should provide the kingdom with a crown prince to secure its future. The court's complaints echoed through the palace,voices in unison demanding an heir.

However, King Theophilus, a Sage ruler known for his unwavering sense of judgement and Fairness, was not swayed by the court's demands.

He having no choice or other options, looked upon his beloved daughter, Princess Amarissa, with a little pride and affection.

Despite the lack of a male heir, he was determined to break tradition and crown her as the rightful heir to the throne.

The decision to name Amarissa as the heir to the throne was met with both praise and dissatisfaction within the court.

While some applauded the king's progressive choice, others remained steadfast in their belief and adherence to tradition.

Regardless of the court's divided opinions, the king's decree was final, and the fate of the kingdom rested on the shoulders of the princess.

As Felissa continued to grow and flourish, she developed a keen interest in combat and sword fighting.

Her agile and determined nature led her to beg and persuade her personal assigned guard to train her without her mother's knowledge.

She displayed a natural talent and enthusiasm for the martial arts, a passion that seemed to defy her mother's wishes.

Princess Amarissa, while deeply proud of her daughter's abilities, didn't see her becoming a fighter. She had envisioned a different future for Felissa, one filled with knitting, singing, dancing, and the gentler pursuits of a normal cute little princess.

Amarissa desired to shield her daughter from the harsh realities of combat and war, to preserve her innocence and childhood.

But young Felissa, with her fiery and indomitable spirit and determination, was unyielding and unpersuadable in her pursuit of combat and swordsmanship.

She continued to train diligently, honing her skills with each passing day, even as her mother's concerns grew.

Many years later, as the king aged and his health declined, he eventually succumbed to old age, leaving the kingdom of Sibiah in mourning.

Queen Elizabeth, once the queen consort, now found herself a widow. The passing of her husband marked the end of an era, and the kingdom grieved the loss of their beloved King.

With the king's passing, Princess Amarissa was to swiftly ascend the throne. She is to become Queen Amarissa, the ruler of Sibiah, and her mother, Queen Elizabeth, is to assume the title of Queen Mother or Queen Dowager.

During the celebration of Amarissa's usurping of the throne, an unfamiliar guest was present in the kingdom of Sibiah for the first time—Lucian.

He was fascinated by the beauty of the city, its towers and the rich culture that filled every corner.

The people, the art, and the culture and traditions of Sibiah left a lasting impression on him. Lucian's eyes wandered, taking in the magnificence of the royal palace and the splendour of the festivities.

It was a city unlike any other he had encountered, and he couldn't help but be captivated by its beauty. The celebration of Amarissa's ascent to the throne marked a new beginning of the kingdom's history, one that promised change and innovation.
