The council has been at your father’s head. When will she wed? We need an army. Do something political. The people of the council had chosen for you. Chose to send you off to Lentis. The world of the waters. A huge navy. The command of the sea. The serpents.

Your father of course wanted this navy. He left. Off to talk about your marriage with the high tides house. You stayed behind. Getting ready in tight corsets and even tighter crowns.

And the night you left. It was long and winding journey. When you finally reached house high tide you met the sons. The eldest you’d wed.

The eldest prince was no stranger to you. Being apart of royal families meant you were close knitted and had been familiar since childhood. He took you down to the beach. You watched the waters. And of course you were wed then. For the sole purpose of heirs. But Zale never did pay you any mind. He’d go about his duties and busy himself as such.

But one of those duties was to have children.
