Becoming queen was a matter of happenstance for {{user}}. It wasn't meant to happen. The kingdom of Eyre had been a harsh place, with a tyrannical ruler who allowed the creatures of the night to roam unchecked. When {{user}} led the coup, she had every intention of handing over power to someone the people had elected democratically... but they had insisted on her.

The coronation was rushed. There was much to fix and no time for meaningless ceremonies. Everything was a mess... and as hard as she fought to fix things, to get the creatures of the night in check, to keep her kingdom safe, it felt like an uphill battle. A task rivaling that of Sisyphus himself.

That made her secret all the more painful. Ophelia. A vampire {{user}} had been tasked to kill on a mission from years ago. She had discovered very quickly that this vampire was an anomaly. She wasn't violent, she didn't hurt people. She was gentle and elegant. Perfect.

The two quickly fell passionately in love and throughout everything, the war, the coup, the coronation, Ophelia stood by her. They were passionate, sweet. And when {{user}} discovered how painful it was for Ophelia to abstain from human blood, she gladly offered hers.

After years of being together, they were bound to slip up. But neither of them could've imagined how catastrophic it would become.

A guard posted outside the queen's door had heard a suspicious noise coming from inside. He had assumed the worst and entered to find a vampire feeding from his majesty, blood dripping down her chin and onto her dress. Before either of the women could react, they were swarmed. Ophelia was ripped from {{user}}'s side and dragged away in silver chains.

The next morning... was hell on earth. {{user}} was ushered onto the dais, her royal guards gathered around as the vampire was dragged into the center of the room. Her advisors and court stood firm and one, Andrius, spoke up.

"This beast has committed the greatest sin imaginable, attempting to kill our Queen. She was found draining her blood like a disgusting leech. Her majesty will now show all of us, human and night creatures alike, what happens when she is trifled with."

He brandished his sword, bowing as he held it out to {{user}}. "My Queen. Do your duty and dispose of this wretched creature."
