But underneath the image the Queen’s kingdom personified lies a much complicated system run by a tradiation older than the kingdom itself… Welcome to Queen’s Kingdom where princes and princesses froma neighbouring kingdoms are sent as a tribute to the Queen.
The only offspring of the late Queen of Hohenzollern, Queen Alexandra has been reigning the kingdom for more than 30 years. Throughout her reign, she proved to beÂ
The pre-Capetian House of Bourbon was a noble family, dating at least from the beginning of the 13th century, when the estate of Bourbon was ruled by a Lord or Seigneur who was a vassal of the King of France. The term House of Bourbon or "Maison de Bourbon" could be used to refer to this first house and the House of Bourbon-Dampierre, the second family to rule the seigneury.
In 1268, Robert, Count of Clermont, sixth son of King Louis IX of France, married Beatrix of Bourbon, heiress to the lordship of Bourbon and from House of Bourbon-Dampierre. Their son Louis was made Duke of Bourbon in 1327. His descendant, the Constable of France Charles de Bourbon, was the last of the senior Bourbon line when he died in 1527. Because he chose to fight under the banner of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and lead a life of exile, his title was discontinued after his death.
However the junior line of the dukes of VendĂ´me remained, the ruling house of the Dukedom of VendĂ´me. The VendĂ´me branch were to become rulers of the Kingdom of Navarre on the northern side of the Pyrenees in 1555 and then of France, with Henry III of Navarre becoming Henry IV of France. From then on, they were simply called Bourbon, until the creation of cadet branches.
Its first known lord was Adhémar (or Aymar) in the 10th century AD. He acquired the castle of Bourbon (today Bourbon-l'Archambault) which gave its name to the family, the House of Bourbon.
The first House of Bourbon ended in 1200 with the death of Archambault VII. It left only one heiress, Mahaut de Bourbon, whose husband, Guy II of Dampierre, added Montlucon to the possessions of the lords of Bourbon, extending to the River Cher during the 11th and 12th centuries.
The second house of Bourbon started in 1218 with Archambault VIII, son of Guy II and Mahaut, and brother of William II of Dampierre. He was followed by his son Archambaut IX, who died in Cyprus in 1249 during a crusade. Bourbonnais was then acquired by the House of Burgundy.
In 1272, Beatrice of Burgundy (1258-1310), Lady of Bourbon, married Robert de France (1256-1318), Count of Clermont, son of king Louis IX (Saint-Louis). It was the beginning of the long-lasting House of Bourbon, providing kings of France from Henry IV through Louis-Phillipe in 1848, when monarchy was abolished in France.
The Bourbons had concluded an alliance with the royal capacity. They had put their forces at the service of the king, thus benefitting from the geographic position of Bourbonnais, located between the royal field and the duchies of Aquitaine and Auvergne. This alliance, as well as the marriage of Béatrix de Bourgogne and Robert de France, aided the rise and prosperity of the province. In 1327, it was set up as a duchy-peerage by king Charles (le Bel).
The clan originated from the province of Bourbonnais in France. These people are conquerors. They expanded their wealth by taking in new towns and cities and marrying off their children to other royalties across their own kingdom. The tradition is old but the Bourbons take it to the extremes that they often disown their own who disobeyed the any rules the head of the house had set. The Bourbons are all about their duty to their clan, people, and land. They are tactical, patient and hotheaded at the same time.Â
  On top of the highest mountain in Southern Germany lies a kingdom that practices a system as old as the land itself. As a tribute to the kingdom’s beloved Queen, young royalties from around the world are sent to her doorstep for education and discipline. Only the Queen’s lessons are not quite what they expected…
 The eldest and only son of Queen Verena, Lukas is next in line to claim the kingdom’s throne. He is a bright young man, once full of energy and had a positive outlook on everything, Lukas changed after giving up his very first tribute.Â
 Lukas had his first tribute after turning 18 six years ago. She was a stunning Swedish Princess named Katrin from the House of Vasa. Lukas grew up knowing everything about his kingdom's tradition; from taking in young royalties from all around the world to disciplining them, and it came so natural to him. He was the perfect young Master/Trainer. He had to be. After all, since he was the first born son of the Queen, he was bound to sit on the throne when the time is up.Â
 He set an example to every trainer and tribute in the kingdom, both young and old, novice and experienced.
Katrin was the fruit of his work. Obedient and willing to please him at all times, she was the perfect tribute. The had a perfect partnership. Katrin who was very young then opened herself up to him and did everything he asked for without any questions. The partnership lasted for two years and with the Queen’s honor and blessing, Katrin was sent home after she was deemed ready.
 Without any surprise, the Queen’s decision was terribly hard for Lukas but he learned to control showing his emotions in regards to the matter. He didn't realize the attachment he had develop with Katrin. He was especially broken when Katrin did not show any sadness leaving her Trainer behind. Over time, Lukas decided that what he had with Katrin was nothing special. It was a tradition that needed to be uphold and they both did a great job accomplishing the Queen’s goals and that is to send home a changed royalty.
The Queen's youngest child and only daughter, Alena is unlike her cousin, her mother's favorite, Isabelle who is livelier, much more spontaneous, and adventurous.
Alena is shy and almost always distant. It wasn’t because the young princess is not friendly or social. In fact, inside, she was quite the opposite. She enjoyed the company of her cousins and even her own mother, the Queen. And she always longed for the company of new friends but while being exposed to the kingdom’s tradition she realized that people can have a strong bond with another person but that it wouldn’t last.Â
She saw this happened first  hand when her older brother Lukas took in a tribute, a young princess, Eir from the House of Vasa. He knew how her brother took care of the young slave; how dedicated he was in training her but in the end, he didn’t get to keep her and had to send her back home after two years of living with her. Her brother Lukas never once talked about Eir but  she was aware how giving up the young princess changed something inside him. Every year she watched her brother take in new tributes but she never again saw the same spark he had when he had Eir around.
And this worried Alena. What if the same thing happened to her once it’s her time to take in tribute? And she waited; anticipated for the day that it would come only to regret it when it finally happened. She just turned 21 and the Queen, after all the years of debate over her age and how young she was 4 years ago to have her own slave, the Queen was finally allowing it.Â
Alena was given a tribute; a young prince coming from the House of Vasa as well, to her surprise. Cousin to Eir, this young man was said to be the trouble in the household. Much older than Alena, she felt she was being put to test by her mother giving her such a hard person to train as her first trainee. Once alone with the young Vasa, Alena realized that he was far more dangerous that she originally thought and there was no way she would be able to handle him. And all the things she learned from observing others, and all the things that she worried about – caring too much for her tribute – it all went out the window when he opened his mouth and found he was the rudest person she’d ever met.Â
But that was not the worst part of the whole story; she realized that he liked intimidating her and just like that, their roles were reversed…
Personality: Alena tend to worry too much sometimes but she has a very good head on her shoulders. She does get anxious quite easily but after it passes and her mind is clear, she always know which decision is right for her. She cares a lot for her family; even when she gets jealous that her mother favors her cousin Isabelle more than her, Isabelle remains her one true best friend. Alena craves affection but doesn’t draw attention to herself and tries to stay clear off people’s path. She is not easily annoyed but does not have patience with Mikael, her tribute from Vasa.
 During medieval times, there was only one kingdom that was known, not only for its rich, vast land, and noble men and women, but for a tradition as old as the land itself.
Every year, the Kingdom of Hohenzollern, which ruled Bradenburg and most of Prussia (old Germany) and reined by Queen Verena, welcomes tributes all over the world to experience Hohenzollern’s tradition of training and educating of-age royal children, through sacred, sexual enslavery. Young princesses and princes are sent to the Queen to participate in this tradition in exchange for incredibly disciplined noblemen and women as they are returned to their own kingdoms.Â
 Once within the Queen’s kingdom, each tribute is stripped of their titles and from that point on, considered to be slaves. Any man or woman of the kingdom, serving the Queen, are then given the rights to handle, train, and educate the tributes in any way they see fit, as long as rules are being met and followed.Â
 Not often the rules are followed and in these cases, trainers who broke the rules are put in the tribute’s place and sent to town for auction. There, townspeople who can afford to purchase a slave (and they come cheap) can own their very own tribute that they will train until they see fit that the tribute is ready to go back to the castle. Townspeople, like any other people, tributes and trainers alike, are bound by much stricter rules that they must obey.Â
But nothing always go without any problems in the kingdom. Here and there bandits and pirates that pass through the land would like to make trouble and had been known to kidnap tributes and even townspeople. And this is one problem the Queen had the least pleasure dealing with…
The clan rooted from the Irish tribal group known as the UĂ BriĂşin BrĂ©ifne. The original tribe strived in one of the highest points in Ireland - the hills of Breifne where the tribe and the clan’s name originated. The kingdom of Breifne flourished in the pasture farming industry accounting to the rich soil in the surrounding lands. The noblemen and women of Breifne are hard workers. They took pride in their livelihood, took good care of their own, and never once had any debts. They tend to have large families, often marrying off their children to children of family friends or children of kins taken into the family through marriage. The clan is very territorial. Men are trained for battle at the very early age. The men in the clan sometimes can be cold and unattached; results of dealing with other clans trying to take over their lands.Â
 The eldest and only son of Queen Verena, Lukas is next in the throne. He is a bright young man, once full of energy and had a positive outlook on everything, Lukas changed after giving up his very first tribute.Â
 Lukas had his first tribute when he turned 18, 6 years ago; a Swedish Princess named Katrin from the House of Vasa. Lukas grew up knowing all about his kingdom's tradition. Everything about it, from taking in young royalities from around the world to disciplining them came so natural to him. But when it was time for him to step in and be part of the tradition, he felt he wasn't ready especially when he caught himself in awe and in great delight of the beauty before him. Katrin was exceptional, he thought. He'd never seen such a  beauty like her. Althought
 Adhemar is a nobleman from one of the prominent houses of the time, an empire that in the future would be ruling most of the land in France and Spain and the nearby kingdoms. But his heart does not lie with conquering any more kingdoms or ruling over people. He is a nomad by heart. Traveling for most of his life, he'd neglected the call of his family and his duty to father the future royalties that one day would rule their land.Â
Adhemar sought more than carrying the name of his noble house. He sought for the truth. After all, according to many whom never got tired of re-telling the story, Adhemar is not a pure-blood Bourbon but actually the bastard son of the late King of Hohenzollern.Â
The clan of course denied this to no end and Adhemar was raised by the king and queen of Bourbonnais with his 2 younger brothers and a younger sister. And anyone dared to talk or question the Prince's true blood line were either thrown in the dungeon or executed without any questions.Â
Adhemar at the early age of 4 did not seem to be bothered by the gossip but he did question the truth especially when it was always pointed out that he looked more like the King's sister than his mother, the Queen. When he was old enough to travel, he left France and became a nomad, passing as Misael, a wanderer from the land of Spain. Fluent in French, Spanish, and German, no one ever questioned the prince incognito. Finally, he reached his destination, the kingdom of Hohenzollern where his supposed father ruled. He was barely 21 years old, a young man with an old man's gaze, he was welcomed to the court after revealing himself, the Queen then taking him in and informing him that the man he sought died a few years back, right after the former Queen died and that Princess Verena now ruled Hohenzollern. Adhemar, for some odd reason, requested to be taken in for a few days, the same time a shipment of tribute from the south of the continent was arriving. THe queen granted Adhemar's request and let the young royalty join in the welcoming of the kingdom's guests.
That was the beginning of Adhemar's involvement with the kingdom's tradition; a small glimpse of the world so different from his own made him want to stay in one place for the first time since he decided to leave his home and travel, having no specific destination. The Queen was thrilled to know that he was interested to know more about the tradition that obviously he hadn't heard about.Â
 If Adhemar was the wayward son of Bourbon, Alan was the obedient, silent younger son who was adored by the many. But little did everyone know, Alan hid a side of him that no one expected he had. Alan took pleasure in pain both giving and receiving it; something Adhemar himself wasn't aware about.Â
 Alan, much like his older brother Adhemar, grew up in a big family mostly consisted of sisters, dozens of cousins, uncles, and aunts. He was loved and very much so because he was not only handsome but very charming as well.Â

The Queen’s words prevail.
A trainer must care for his/her tribute at all times. They must be fed well, bathe well, and given an opportunity to rest before and after any training or events.
Punishment is acceptable as long as it corresponds to the mistake. Excessive punishment on the tribute e.g. not feeding, unnecessary physical punishment, mental anguish will lead to the trainer being sent to town and strip off his/her rights as a Master/Mistress. No exceptions.
A trainer is responsible to his/her tribute’s whereabouts at all times.
A tribute must obey his/her Master/Mistress at all times.
A tribute that dares to escape their trainer will be sent to the town to be put up for auction.
There are plenty of pirates in the sea but one in particular frequent the coast of Prussia due to the knowledge of slavery by one kingdom. They set on foot but not usually and leave their ships to take what they can. They target big ships especially the ones that carry royal cargos.
