Virgo Princessa

Inside, the city was quiet. Lit candles sat on window sills, in the middle of the day. It was a ceremonial act practiced by the entire Empire. The candle's flame was supposed to guide lost souls onward so they wouldn't haunt the living.


To Lillian it was all needless superstition, once she was queen, she'd do away with such antiquated dogma.


Long black satin banners were hung between lamp posts along the roads, carrying the hovering feeling of dread and depression. But the locals did seem legitimately sad to lose their princess.


Groups were pasting up large posters, petitioning for Jacqueline's Sainthood.

Roqueburne was a kingdom on the west coast. A forest behind it, an ocean in front, really, it was a self sufficient place that rarely required any real attention from the empire it was apart of. Now. But, it wasn't always so.

Bustling enterprise doesn't just happen. The King and Queen of Roquburne were implanted here by the empire ages ago. Only by years of blood, steel and iron, did their kingdom become a great shining gem by the sea. The people became educated and were prosperous.
