Realm Trinity Chapter 20

Chapter 201

The sky was purple velvet bejeweled with sapphires and diamonds. It canopied over a long procession. At the head of the procession was a carriage in which late King Maksha rested his body turned from a golden rock to a stiff corpse with sallow skin and veins protruding grotesquely from his forehead and neck. Nioletin walked directly behind the carraige with two guards, behind them was Trebajin. She walked with her head down and her hand on her stomach. She could feel energy already forming inside her. 2

“She will be strong.” Alex said to her sister. Trebajin smiled slightly and turned her head back down. 3

“We can not allow Nioletin to be sworn in. After the funeral we have to confront Nioletin and the council with my daughter.” Trebajin whispered. 4

Alex looked over at Maksha’s old seer; her hands were thin and sharp. Her hair was chunky and greasy; she looked up at Alex and bowed her head at Alex and Trebajin. 5

After the burial, everyone returned to the grand hall and sat on their asigned pillows. Except for Nioletin and Trebajin. They stood next to the throne Nioletin on the right and Trebajin on the left. 6

“Nioletin. Maksha appointed you as the lady of the court. If there is no oposition, you will be our new Queen. Does anyone have any valid reason for Nioleten to not be crowned High Queen?” 7

“I know of a reason…Maksha has fathered a child.” the seer announced to the room. 8

“What! Have you lost your mind old hag? Maksha has no children. He only slept with that human and me. I am not pregnant and there is no way that she is pregnant. Humans and vampires can not breed.” screeched Nioletin. 9

“Actually they have been known to breed under rare circumstances. Normally only when the fates have something planned for the child.” continued the seer. 10

Nioletin turned quickly to Trebajin “You claim you are pregnant.” 11

“I am pregnant.” Trebajin growled. Nioletins hand grasped a long scepter that had been rest against the throne. She whirled it in the air and threw it towards Trebajin’s stomach. Trebajin waved her hand and said a quick enchantmet. “Do not throw things at my child your future Queen.” Trebajin commanded, a rush of power surging through her. “Until the birth of Maksha’s child I am Queen and as my first order as Queen I demand the beheading of this traitor. Nioletin, you conspired to have our King murdered by his brother you will tarnish this court no longer.” declared Trebajin. She turned and sat in the throne and admired her work. She watched the gaurds drag away a stunned Nioletin. Alex came and knelt before her sister. “Woman, I would like you to teach my sister how to best use her gifts.” Trebajin commanded the seer. 12

“It would be an honor.” she cackled.13
