Codex:My Three Mates

Chapter 1

Third Person's POV

Standing in front of a full length elegant mirror is an enticing pale beauty. Her graceful demeanor accentuates her physical features. Silver gray eyes compliments her Ash blonde hair with a natural deep blonde highlights, milky white skin and an hour glass body figure.

Elixia Haine Muerte belongs to the highclass society, being the daughter of an admiral has it's wealth and status perks.

Elixia is treated with high regards but then she was kept on the north wing of the palace where security is very tight and servants or guests don't have a green light to proceed.

She was always pampered with luxuries, attention and don't forget the bunch of best security. These things never brought happiness and satisfaction to her, she felt caged for not being allowed to roam freely and always need to ask for permission.

Despite the isolation she was put in shes still grateful to have her loving father. The Admiral Jack Lambeau, Elixia's father is known to be a great leader, he is good in his job and gained a lot of awards and praises. He was the one who put seed on Elixia's mind to think that everything he does was all for her own good and safety, so Elixia engraved in her mind that outside world is not a place for her to be.

Only a loyal female butler was allowed to accompany her highness at close proximity. The butler was meticulously picked, deeeply screened out with her skills, knowledge and capabilities to serve her highness out of the whole nation.

“A penny for your thoughts, sweetie?” A middle-aged man stood tall and proud, hands clamped on her shoulders and gently kiss her temple from behind.

Immediately dashing off her comtemplation when she saw his face smiling genuinely at their reflection.

Sadness changed into a lighter mood as Elixia turn to his father and hug him with longing. “Oh hi dad, it was...nothing at all. So how was work?”  Her father was always busy that he failed to check up on her or atleast visit her as often as possible.  She step back to get a tea on her refreshment bar area.

Mr. Lambeau made his way to the couch and put his admiral cap on the low glass table. He's still on his uniform that rarely be seen on casual clothing. A really hard work'n man.

Elixia joined him with a wooden tray on hand with a teapot and two teacups. The tea herb's scent making its way soothingly to the nostrils.

“Well theres a lot of it as usual” the old man replied with a sigh

“And tiring” she continued with a 'duh' tone as she serve the hot steaming tea

“Yeah that too” replied with a chuckle

“Dad the coronation would be held in a month do you think it's time for me to start making an appearance to the public”

“What do you mean” Mr. Lambeau ask innocently and busied himself on the tea

“You know like meeting more other specie not just you and the ones I had met before” suggestiveness turns to persuasiveness. Still her father did not respond so she continues

“Dad I know your just keeping me safe but sooner or later I'll need to come out so why not-” she was cut off by a cold tone

“No” the voice filled with finality

“But-”

“No buts young lady, you know how much we should keep you safe, besides you are free to roam this entire wing just for yourself” he said sternly not a glimpse of the sweet father seconds ago.

“I just-” she still insist

“Life outside is not for fragile and for kindhearted like you, you will just end up getting hurt or even killed by those filthy enemies of the nation, they will not show even a tinge of mercy on you! Did you forget about that!” he replied in complete annoyance to elixia's constant suggestion

“Your still there to protect me right, its not that I will lea-” Elixia doesn't know where this courage come from but still she smiled, the smile that definitely did not reach her eyes.

“There were b****y blood sucking f*****g animal has a f*****g excuse of a label vampire and a shitty s**t shape f*****g shifters again with their f*****g pathetic excuse of a label to be werewolves ready to make this nation fall down to it's pieces by taking you, you know that!??! ” he slammed the teacup at the table, anger flashed through him, as his veins shows ready to pop out at the thought of loosing his most treasured and loved person.

Startled by the sudden rise of voice of her father that never happened before she lost all her hopes.

“Okay” she surrendered as disappointment made its way to her face, as expected it to be this way but she still pushed her luck

After moments of silence both of them cooling down like the tea losses it's steam her father spoke again

“Sweetie you know my thoughts about it, and besides your not just my daughter anymore, your my highness, my empress” the old man tried to console her by his uncontrolled sudden outburst

She kept silent looking down at her own hands, at the verge of crying

Guilt starting to creep the old man's heart as he saw his daughter's saddened face, before he changed his mind he stand up. He rarely loose his patience and never at her daughter, the thought of losing someone really made a man lose his composure.

“Your very important not only to me, to us but also for the whole nation, remember your role as an Empress not just as my daughter, good night sweetie. Sorry for yelling at you, I'm just tired and had a lot of things on my mind especially now”

He take his cap with him hold Elixia's head on the other bid her goodbye with a kiss on her hair. When Mr. Lambeau reach the door he stop, holding the door handle

“Just another month is all and you'll be able to see the outside, I promise to stay and still protect you. I hope you understand” with that he made his way out of her chamber without looking back

“Dad's right its just another month and I'll probably out of this luxurious cage, I should stop thinking about being free cause it will never happen” she smiled forcefully, tears brimming to be spilled as she accepted the truth of her faith and reality

“Its time for you to rest milady” the female butler came in, informing her and saw the table in a mess and start to clean it up without asking

Elixia looked up to stop her tears, take a deep sigh and made her way to ready herself to sleep. The satin white dress flows perfectly on her curves as she walked gracefully to the dresser table and stare in her appearance.

“Butler Shin, you know you serve me quite a long time now, did you ever wish to be on my place?” Elixia ask with no humour, no curiosity, no accusiveness on her voice, plainly a question as she comb her silky hair

“I think no such thing your highness” the butler respond with no malice

“Keep in mind that being beautiful or born with golden spoon is not always a blessing.... you're dismissed” she bitterly said

“Your highness I will remember that. Thank you, your highness”

After combing her hair, she stalk her way to the king sized bed srrounded with the silk see through black, violet and white curtains.

Butler Samantha (Sam) Shin wait for the highness to be settled before clapping three times that turned the lights dim then walk out the room

Sleep was slowly visiting her, she released a yawn and soon after the heaviness in her eyelids

“I just need to wait for another month”

And with that she was engulfed in a deep slumber
