⌇The Queen's Veil⌇
All eyes laid bare on Ashai as she walked through the village. Ser Topaz, the Honest of the Voiceless Savanna had finally spoken.
Ashai's secret, was now
everybody's secret.
Some cursed her name beneath their breath, others told tales of lies and disbelief, and many were quick to cast their eyes in other directions to avoid her gaze.
Una Fairweather could not match her eye.
She gazed into Ser Topaz' bright yellow orbs. "You didn't have to say anything, they needn't know."
"My Queen, they must know who their rightful leader is." He justified.
Ashai furrowed her brows. "You say I am heir to the throne. You say I am heir to the entire kingdom of Aevahaven. Yet, I know nothing of my parents or my heritage, or the Rose Seige that ruined my family. How am I to make a good Queen, when I know nothing of my kingdom?"
Ser Topaz smiled softly. "But you will. You have much to learn, it's true, but you will learn, and you will rule. Like your good father before you, and his father before him. You will rule the Dreamfyre lineage."
Ashai looked up into his amber eyes. "You'd told me my father's house name was Percevale."
Ser Topaz smiled. "It was." He glanced down and gently brushed her arm. "Don't worry, my Queen, like I said - you will learn."
