There stood a king and a general in front of a big bathroom door, both of them looked really anxious like they were waiting for something to come out from that bathroom, the king started to round around seeing this the general called out to him.

"Your majesty, I am sure her bath will be over soon"

The king stopped and sat right next to him, started to bite his nails. "What if she says I will die soon." A laughter was heard, it was coming from the bathroom and a female voice started to talk.

"You won't die Alnord and I would like to bathe in peace." The king stood up and bowed down to the door. "T-Thank you, Duchess Beatrix" The king and the general was about to leave the room but then she called out.

"General Wilhelm, don't leave yet, we still have a chess game to do." The king and the general looked at each other but the king made a posture with his hands. "Go, go"

And so the king left, the general sat on the chair he was just sitting on. "Um..." He was waiting for a response but instead he got himself a question.

"General Wilhelm, do you believe in luck ?" Without a doubt he answered the question. "If we are talking about your luck, yes of course."

"I see then, The king and almost every noble in the country will be executed in a week."

General Wilhelm sat there shocked, he poured himself some tea and started to drink it with shaky hands. "W-Why is that ?"

"A revolution will happen, and I want to be in the right side of that but there is a thing even though I have my own special army, I really don't have an elite army but you do and I heard it was your turn to garrison the capital, you get what I am saying ?"

General Wilhelm gulped in terror, he was a heavy monarchist and a friend of the king, he didn't want to betray anyone. "W-What should I do"

"Just support the people when the time comes and I know you are a friend of the king so I will grant one wish, tell me what do you need ?"

General Wilhelm put his tea down, and stood up and started to walk to the bathroom door. "I want to see you naked"

There was a moment of silence and the woman stopped swimming in the huge bath, she found herself an ink pen and a paper and blew the paper with her breath, it crashed in the wet bath but then a sound was heard, it was the sound of the wind blowing in, even though the paper was wet it started to fly again and it landed under the door.

General Wilhelm picked up note and read it. "Come In" He gulped again and opened the door, the huge bath was steamy, and when he saw a figure in the bath he started to run to it but running in the bath was a bad idea, he fell down and hit his head, The Duchess Beatrix started to walk to the door with a towel covering half of her body. "Well good thing I got lucky, you almost saw me naked there but don't worry I will send a maid to wake you up, now good night." and so she left the bath.

A butler was looking at a portrait. It was a portrait of a noble woman, The Most Beautiful Woman aka The Duchess of Lorein, Beatrix Gaullet.

In the portrait, she had a long dark brown hair, her long hair was braided like a tail coming out from the back of her head, her long black eyelashes and ruby like beautiful cunning eyes, her beautiful large chest but not too large, just in the perfect size, her family always had tall members but she was the one who broke that cycle, her height wasn't tall but she was taller than most of the women out there and wore a dark blue dress.

Black and dark blue were the colours of the country and it was a sign of royalty, and the next portrait was the king's portrait, a simple handsome man with a short yellow hair and blue eyes just like The Duchess he wore a dark blue ceremonial suit and black stripe coming down from his shoulder to his belt.

And the next portrait was a portrait of the two military heads. One was the retired head of military, Hinden von Burges't, Even though he was seventy years old he didn't retire until this year at his seventieth birthday, he had a big moustache. It was shaped like a "W" And when people wanted to talk about him they called him "Mister. W"

The other one was the portrait of the next head of military, Wilhelm Agustus Melsiar, he was a simple man to explain, he was a middle aged man, with combed back black hair and blue eyes, he looked really handsome for his age and he was a lusty man and a simple man to get along.

And the last one was a portrait of the crown prince, but there was one thing wrong with that portrait, they were two princes, one of them was the handsome prince with combed back golden hair and blue eyes just like his father, he wore a ceremonial suit just like his father but the other one was way different.

The other prince's face was completely burned, his wore a white glove on his right hand to cover his wooden hand and he had a simple cane with him, his hair was messy too even though he had a combed back hair, his front hair was getting on his face.

Everyone knew there was only one prince, but this butler knew more than most people because he had a burned face, blue eyes, a white glove on his right hand and a cane on his left hand. He was the real prince but no one knew of his existence expect for the royal family.

He was an unlucky man, getting born as a prince and burning his face in an accident at the age of five, losing his hand in a sword fight against his teacher at the age of twelve, getting crippled by his father, the king at the age of fourteen, getting replaced by an actor that looked exactly like him at the age of fifteen and losing his prince status at the age of eighteen, just to serve his family as a butler.

This was like giving somebody hope and taking that hope away from him slowly and painfully, this was the worst of them all. He wished he was born a slave but the life was going to punish him more for unknown reasons, it was like he was cursed by misfortune...
