#twst wolfe

Livia laid asleep in bed, her side rising and falling. She rolled over onto her back, a small smile on her face.

"Princess, it's time to awaken."

Her eyes opened and she yawned as she sat up, stretching. She rubbed her eyes, ready for a new day with her family.

"Morning princess."

She froze knowing that voice, her head slowly turning to see Seraphia standing there. Livia flew out of bed, glaring up at the woman, ready to defend herself if she needed to.

"My my, for someone so adorable you are so very feisty! Makes me hate you so much more"Seraphia smiled looking mockingly down at her.

"Are you going to tell on me to your uncle, his majesty, the emperor?"

As much as she wanted to...she wasn't gonna snitch

She could handle the Senates back in the Valley of Thorns picking with her!

So she most definitely can handle this on her own, nobody looks down on her and get away with this!

"I'm no snitch, you can dig your own grave for all I could care"Livia snapped giving her a cold smile.

"DUCHESS SERAPHIA, HOW DARE YOU!!?"

Harlia moved in front of Livia, Wolfe snarling at the woman. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INVADE THE PRINCESSES ROOM, THE EMPEROR SHALL BE INFORMED!"Harlia snapped pointing away.

"A measly maid like you talking to a duchess that way"Seraphia mutters lifting her hand.

"AUNTIE VINAYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

Everyone froze at Livias yell, the sound of running heels filled the hallway and a second later Vinaya rushed in, throwing the doors open.

Vinaya looked at Seraphina, her eyes widening. She stormed over and slapped the woman, a furious look on her face. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY NIECE!? WHY ARE YOU IN HER ROOM!?"Vinaya yells glaring down at the stunned woman.

Livia stuck her tongue out at Seraphia from behind Wolfe and Harlia, clinging to her maid and guard.

"GUARDS TAKE DUCHESS SERAPHIA AWAY AND MAKE SURE SHE'S UNABLE TO ENTER THE PALACE!"

Two guards came in and grabbed the woman, ignoring her protests as they dragged her out.

"Livy, sweetheart! Are you okay!?"Vinaya demands checking the girls face. "Yes Auntie, I'm fine"Livia smiled her aunt pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"How pathetic, calling my mom to your aid."

The boy with the dreads to the side stood there, cold blue eyes staring her down, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Fidget, be nice to her! She's your baby cousin!"Vinaya scolds gently pinching and pulling her son's cheek. Fidget huffed, looking embarrassed as his mother babied him.

"Livia! Meet your cousin Fidget! He's the youngest of all his brothers and the Crowned Prince!"Vinaya smiled looking over at Livia.

Fidget made a face causing her to perk up at the sight, wondering if like the others he had problems like Junpel.

"Oh Livy, sweetheart! Get dressed, breakfast should be ready soon!"Vinaya smiled ushering Fidget away.

"Hehe, okay Auntie!"Livia beamed waving to them.

She turned to Harlia and gave Wolfe a dismissal signal. The guard bowed to her and left the room, allowing Harlia to prepare Livia for the day.

~~~~~

Livia beamed running down the hallway ahead of Wolfe and Harlia to the stairs, her ponytail gently swaying behind her. She stopped at the stairs, getting ready to hop onto the railing. A pair of hands shoved her, a small gasp coming from bee. She turned around as she fell her eyes widening at the sight of Fidget standing there.

"PRINCESS!!"

Wolfe threw his arms around her, grabbed the rail and slid down, landing on his feet. He set her down, his scowling gaze turning to a startled Fidget. "YOUR MAJESTY!"Wolfe yells. He froze when a hand grabbed his sleeve, his gaze darting down to Livia who shook her head.

"Let it go, he's not worth our time"Livia orders looking at Fidget with a cold look.

She turned and walked away, Harlia fixing her ponytail as the trio made their way to the Dining Area. Guards opened the doors letting her through, revealing her uncle, aunt and eight of her cousins at the long table.

She stared then perked up when her aunt beckoned to an empty seat beside her.

"Morning!"Livia greets hurrying over and taking a seat. Fidget walked in, looking nervous as he made his way over and sat down between Junpel and Spencer.

"I heard that the Duchess found her way into your room."

Livia looked over, noticing her uncle's eyes were glowing with malicious and angry intent. "Auntie Vinaya took care of her! She was so amazing!!"Livia beamed, her auntie looking embarrassed.

Lilac took his wife's hand, giving her an amused grin looking fond of her. "I know, I married her"Lilac chuckles.

Maids entered the dining area, bringing in their breakfast. Livia smiled as the maid removed the top from her plate, revealing pancakes with sausages, an omelet on rice and biscuits.

Dessert was set down as well, which were root beer floats with chocolate scoops topped with a cherry.

She giggled, digging into her breakfast, her uncle smiling across the table as her cousins gossiped with one another.

"Livia wanna go take a boat ride?"Spencer grinned looking over at her.

She nodded excitedly, giving him a beaming smile, "YEAH!"

She coughed and covered her mouth, feeling weird for some reason. Her hand lowered, blood coating her thumb.

She stood up, signalling Harlia for a handkerchief to borrow. She hurried over to her personal maid then suddenly threw up blood. Arms caught her, Fidget holding her up.

"POISON!!"

Fidget quickly carried her to the next room, the running feet of everyone else following.

"LIVIA!!!"Vinaya cried her eyes wide. "Your majesty! Stay back, let Prince Fidget handle this!"A guard orders, Lilac rushing in.

"Drink and swallow!"Fidget commands holding a cup to Livias mouth.

She threw up more blood, Fidget trembling at the sight.

He pinched her nose and poured the liquid down her throat causing her to choke.

She sat up and threw up the poison, small seeds hitting the ground. "AH, HE DID IT!"Izek yells relieved rushing over. A maid held Vinaya back, Lilac standing not far from her his eyes turning dark red.

Fidget held Livia close, looking stunned and worried. "LIVIA!"Vinaya cried reaching towards her as she came close ignoring the maids attempt to stop her.

Livia fell unconscious, her family members crowding around her with expressions of anger, terror, concern and sadness.

Fidget stared down at her, his lips pursed together then bowed his head wondering why he saved her.

Livia walked to her room, her eyes widening at how decorated it was. Her uncle managed to finish all of this for her in a span of a few minutes.

There was a chandelier with crystals in the middle of the room, her bed was shaded black and purple with comfortable lace touched pillows. A study desk was on the east side of the room by a window, three jars of candy lined up on the surface of it.

"This is mine!?"Livia gasped stunned. The maid that brought her, Harlia, bowed to her. "Yes it is, and you are to meet with the royal family for a royal gathering"Harlia responds respectfully.

Livia nodded, rubbing the back of her head. She opened her luggage, pulling out one of her dresses and a few accessories that went with it. "His majesty assigned me as your maid, allow me to prepare you"Harlia smiled making her way over. Livia held still as Harlia helped her get ready, wondering what else her uncle prepared for her.

"LIVY!!"

Livia looked away finding her aunt coming in, Vinaya smiling wide at her. "Auntie came to walk with you to the throne room!"Vinaya announces looking excited. Livia smiled and nodded, walking over to her aunt when Harlia finished. "Really!?"Livia smiled excited. Vinaya nodded, giggling happily. Harlia bowed once more, Livia's heels clicking alongside her aunt's as the duo made their way to the throne room.

The halls started getting more crowded as the two continued, Livia noticing the people were wearing fancy outfits and some were pointing towards her and whispering. Two guards opened the throne doors, looking curiously at Livia as she passed by them after her aunt.

What was going on? Too many people were here for it to be a normal meeting...

Was there an announcement about her?

Her eyes widened noticing nine boys sitting on thrones in a row below two thrones at the top. Her Uncle sat on one of the two thrones at the top. Her eyes scanned everything and took note that there was an empty throne beside a boy with dreads that flopped to one side.

they were gonna announce a new royal it must be their debut today

"Stand here"Vinaya smiled stopping Livia. Livia blinked surprised but complied, standing right before the line of thrones.

Vinaya made her way up the stairs, sitting on the throne beside Lilac's. She smiled at her husband, practically shaking with excitement. Murmuring filled the air, people staring at Livia as she stood before the royal family.

Now she was nervous, was she already in trouble or something...?

What was going on?

"Livia Garcia Vanrouge."

She lifted her head surprised, finding her uncle standing now in front of his throne. He smiled at her and clasped his hands together.

"Everyone! This is my niece! I have brought her back with me so she can get to know her family!"Lilac announces silencing the crowd as a stunned shock filled the room, waving off of everyone.

Livia stared up at her uncle, her eyes widening slightly.

"From this day on, she will now be Honorary Princess Livia Garcia Vanrouge!! She has all the rights of the royal family here and should be treated as a royal!!! Anyone who disrespects my niece will find themselves facing the death penalty!" Livia covered her mouth surprised, gasping when her dress changed, a tiara perched on her head.

"Livia, take your seat on the throne"Lilac smiled nodding to her. She smiled wide in return, walking towards the stairs, and walking up. She sat down, smoothing her dress down as she took a seat. The dread haired male gave her a small glare but didn't say a single word to her.

Vinaya smiled and lifted her hand as she spoke, "Tonight we will be celebrating our niece's arrival with a four day festival funded by the royal family!" A cheer followed, applause filling the air, smiles on everyone's faces.

Livia lifted her hands, clapping with the crowd, causing a chuckle to ripple across some of her cousins up to her uncle and aunt.

~~

A sigh came from Livia as she entered her room, freezing when she saw someone there with Harlia. "Princess Livia! Meet Wolfe, he will be your personal guard!"Harlia beamed beckoning to the make next to her. Livia nodded in greeting to her personal guard, wondering why he looked so tired.

"LIVY! AUNTIE IS HERE!"

Livia beamed, turning around, her eyes lighting up.

"AUNTIE!"

She hugged Vinaya, causing the woman to laugh. A kiss was pressed to her cheek, Vinaya hugging her tight. "Auntie, what's all this?"Livia asks looking at the servants holding gifts behind her.

Wait.....

WERE THOSE FOR HER!??

"I got you gifts!! New dresses, jewelry and more!!"Vinaya beamed looking over at the servants. Livia stared in surprise, the maids and butlers all walking in, setting the gifts down in the middle of the room. "Oh and Livia we have to get you a Sand Walker, I nearly forgot!"Vinaya gasps her eyes widening.

Livia blinked looking surprised, wondering what a Sand Walker was. Vinaya hummed, muttering names. "What's a Sand Walker, Auntie?"Livia asks looking up at her. Vinaya perked up and smiled once again.

"A Sand Walker are people from the Scalding Sands! A long time ago some were forced into servitude here! They were freed when me and your uncle became the rulers but some stayed and gave us their full devotion and loyalty!"

Livia's eyes widened, getting reminded of Jamil instantly but shook it off remembering that these servants agreed to this, Jamil didn't.

She smiled at her aunt, interested in meeting these people. "Where are they?"Livia asks curiously. "They reside on the east side of the palace!"Vinaya explains clasping her hands together.

"Your majesty!"

Vinaya turned around, a small frown on her face. "Yes?"Vinaya sighed turning to the head butler. "Duchess Seraphia is here." Vinaya's eyes widened, looking alarmed.

"I shall go see her now!"Vinaya announces quickly turning away from a curious Livia. She gave Livia a reassuring smile and left the room with the head butler trailing behind her. Livia walked over to her gifts, starting to open them.

"Oh, they're all so beautiful!"Harlia giggled putting the clothes away as Wolfe guarded the door. Livia smiled and nodded, giggling happily. She tilted her head to the side, smiling at a stuffed bear. Humming came from her as she finished opening her gifts from her aunt, hoping she can send a few gifts back home.

"Princess why don't we go to the garden!"Harlia suggests beaming.

"Oh yeah!"Livia beamed, looking at her personal maid.

~~~~

Livia looked out the hall window, staring down towards the garden, her eyes sparkling at how big it was. She walked with Wolfe and Harlia, her hair up in pigtails. "This way to the garden!"Harlia beamed. Livia nodded, walking down the hallway. A red haired woman got in her way, her eyes widening as she froze. Tension filled the hallway, Harlia and Wolfe staring the woman down.

Livia watched the woman closely, her face falling expressionless seeing that this woman was looking down on her already but wasn't outwardly saying it due to the death penalty threat hanging over everyone's head. "Can you get out of my way"Livia demands her eyes narrowed.

"Duchess Seraphia! Move out of the princesses way! His majesty, the emperor would have your HEAD for this!!"Wolfe commands pointing to the silent woman. "Forgive me for my impudence, Princess Livia"Seraphia smiled stepping out of the way.

Livia walked past her without a word, her pigtails gently swaying behind her. She walked out of view into the garden, heading down the stairs.

"Duchess Seraphia!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LEAVE THE GUEST WAITING ROOM!!*

Vinaya stormed over, her eyes narrowed with a look of anger on her face. "My husband and I will not keep reminding you of palace etiquette!"Vinaya snapped, glaring at the woman.

"Your niece is quite interesting, most would fear me....but she looked at me as if she was the most dangerous person in the world, how interesting"Seraphia chuckled her tone amused yet mocking.

A cold look appeared on Vinaya's face, her eyes narrowed. "Duchess Seraphia...Shall I prepare to have you beheaded, don't forget my husband's threat...he meant it"Vinaya warns.

Seraphia smiled in response and turned to the queen. "I meant no disrespect towards the young girl."

"Then show respect towards her"Vinaya says lowly, annoyed.

"Understood, your majesty, the empress, I shall be friendly"Seraphia smiled, her eyes glinting.
