THE KING'S FAVORITE

After the great war which lasted up to a year, the kingdom of Astoria was left in ruins. Although it won against its opponent, Astoria lost half of its population. Picking up the pieces and rebuilding the nation, Astoria became the great kingdom that it was once known to be after three years. Young Prince Alexander West, the soon to be King of Astoria in the next four months decided to sneak out of the Royal building one night for a walk around the streets of Astoria. During his walk, he comes across a young girl who reveals to him the current state of living of the people of Astoria. Prince Alexander confined to his domain did not know that the people were still suffering even after the war ended and the kingdom had been rebuilt. Determined to change that, Alexander promises the little girl to make a good policy for the people once he ascends the throne. After four months, Alexander did as he promised. He made a policy which states that “all those who are less privileged and unable to take care of their families and businesses shall be able to borrow from the Royal family as long as they are able to pay back when they have enough resources”.


It was a good policy which was in the interest of the people but it did not sit well with the Crown King and Queen; Alexander's parents. The Crown Queen in particular was against the idea of it because she believed that if the people were allowed to borrow from the Royal family, they would not pay back even if they have the money to. Hence, the need to revise the policy came to light.

The Crown King and Queen having the ultimate power which is higher the King Alexander revised the policy into “all those who are less privileged and unable to take care of their families and businesses shall be able to borrow from the Royal family as long as they are able to pay back within the given duration. Failure to do so will lead to having their children taken away from them to assume roles in the Royal building pending when the payment is made”.

The King did not quite like the new policy but there was nothing he could do to change it so he made sure that every child brought into the Royal walls was well taken care of.


Elizabeth Willow is the daughter of Mr Willow and her father just like others became a victim of the King's policy. Mr Willow had Elizabeth taken away from him when she was eighteen years old after he signed a paper offered to him by the King. The content of the papers Mr Willow signed was undisclosed to Elizabeth because she was still seven years of age at the time. Elizabeth went home and lived with her father for the next eleven years before she was brought to the Royal building. On her first day of arrival, Elizabeth is shocked to find out that she isn't a Royal help but has been sold off by her father to the king as his wife in replacement of his debt. Elizabeth still in disbelief has to tackle her new life as a Queen and the troubles that comes with it especially being the King's favorite.
