[Dragon City]

Capital of Leitol, it was the most prosperous city in the empire. In Dragon City, only the nobles live in, curiously, royalty didn't had any tittles and categories such as baron or count like earth, in Leitol you were or were not royalty, as simple as that, however, there were two ways to difference a noble from another.

The first one was who they supported; Dragon City families were all nobles and they had a lot of military and financial power, for that, they had a lot of enemies, that's why, the houses supported other houses who had royalty support, for example, there is house A that supports house B, and house B was the support of Prince Raul, that makes house A an sub-house of prince Raul and that sub house would wield the flag Raul and two stars at its side, the stars represent the sub division for that house, in other words, if you have less starts, you are most influential. Of course, there were some houses that didn't have starts, this represent that they didn't support any prince, they were known as warrant houses, of course, they would, eventually, have to pick one side.

The second method was to fused houses through marriage; as there were many houses, not all houses have the financial power to support a prince or the demands of a 'start house ' needs, so the lower houses marriage their daughters to other houses that have more power, so, beside the house flag, they would put the flag of the other house.

All in all, the houses in Dragon City were always in a cold war against each other, trying to suppress and devour other houses, however, on the surface, everything was calm; however, everyone knew that, eventually, the calm will end and the storm will come, and that day would be when the fight for the throne begins.

........................

The Dragon Palace was the most prominent construction in Leitol, a huge white mansion that stands proud among the other ones in the center of Dragon City; the dragon palace have served as the living quarters for the royal family since the beginning of Leitol, and this generation was not exception, The Lockheart family has rule Leitol for one hundred years, the first emperor of the Lockheart dynasty was Hugo Lockheart, 'The undead', he was the fieriest warrior of the royal army and was the only survivor of the 'day of carnage', which was one of the most bloody fights between Leitol and Greycastle, Leitol lost, however, they repel the enemy force so they couldn't complete control of Hunfta Town.

Hugo become the right hand of the emperor in that time, Desterio Snow, from the snow family, he and hugo were childhood friends, and he gladly accepted the job, however, Desterio had a secret that only he and Hugo knew, he was infertile.

When all the resources to make him better were exhausted, He decided that he would give Hugo the opportunity to the throne, all he had to do was to defeat the other faction that wanted the throne, Desterio's brother, Kilin Snow.

Hugo and Kilin were also friends, however, for the snow family, Kilin challenge Hugo for a death match in the sky arena, Hugo accepted.

It was a fierce battle, people say that lasted one day and one night.

At the very end, with one arm missing, Hugo hold Kilin's head with his one arm and announced to all Leitol that the Lockheart family would inherit the throne.

Desterio left the throne and retire to spend the rest of his days in pace with his wife, Hugo wanted for Desterio to stay by his side and command Leitol with him, however, he didn't accept.

Hugo 'The undead' ruled for forty years before dying from old age and give the throne to his daughter, Lisia Lockheart.

Lisia become the first woman to govern Leitol, she inherit the throne at the age of thirty, she wasn't good at fighting, however, what she lacked in strength, she had it in brains, that's why she was known as Lisia 'The sage'. Lisia was a born strategist, she managed the troops of Leitol and managed to recover Towns from the hands of Greycastle, she was an expert in all fields and invented the current monetary system of gold coins, before here, all transactions were made with barter, Also, she was the first ruler of Leitol who wasn't a champion, for this reason, she had a lot to deal with the other dragon families who wanted to steal the throne from her. The north king on those times was the Guilan family, who wanted to take the throne more than anyone, however, there was two houses who opposed this, the Boltor and the Veritia family, who didn't participate in the plan.

The head of the Boltor family in that time was Thudeus Boltor who happen to fall in love with Lisia back in Dragon Academia, where they study together, Thudeus warned Lisia about the plans of the Guilan family and she prepared for the war, she persuaded the other dragon families and attacked the Gulian family, making it disappear from Leitol, the head of Gulian was decapitated in from of all Leitol as a sign of power.

As a reward, Lisia gave the control of the north to the Boltor family and she make Thedeus her right hand, about three months after that event, she marry Thedeus and Thedeus lost his family name and become a Lockheart, she gave birth to his first and only son Wilbert, short after, she died at the age of forty, Thedeus become the emperor of Leitol and, ten years after the dead of his wife, remarried with the daughter of the Pentagate young lady, Julissa Pentagate.

Short after he married her, she become pregnant, however, destiny was too unfair sometimes, she and the child died in the birth. Thedeus died a few years later, some people said that he died from sadness, after all, his last days were spend on the grave of his first and second wife. For that reason, the third emperor of Leitol step to the history as the 'Lonely king'.

With no one in the throne, Wilbert Lockheart inherit the throne at the short age of Eighteen and become the youngest emperor of Leitol.

Wilbert looked at the portraits of all his predecessors and smile.

These portraits were hanging above his throne, as a momentum of all who one sat in that throne.

"They all craved their names in the annuals of Leitol, however… nobody escaped the chains of humanity and eventually died" Said Wilbert.

He drank a sip of his wine and turned around.

"Whats the use in everlasting life… if your 'life' is only a few words in a book of history?"

"Don't you think so? My sons and daughters" Said Wilbert.

Kneeling in front of him were two men and two women, the four of them had blonde hair and purple eyes.

""YES, MY EMPEROR"" Said the four of them.

Wilbert smiled and sat on his throne.

"My son, Fernando, I haven't see you for some time, how are you doing?" Asked Wilbert.

The man at the furthest right stood up, he had short blonde hair and golden armor, he was tall and appeared to be in his earliest thirties, he was the oldest of the Lockheart family, Fernando Lockheart.

"Father, as per usual, everything is going according to plan" Said confidently Fernando.

"Good, what about you, my daughter?" Said Wilbert.

The young woman beside Fernando stood up, she had white skin and a long blonde hair, she didn't have an armor however, she had a long spear on her back, her factions were beautiful and her whole appearance was breath taking, however, her fierce eyes betrayed her beautiful appearance, she was Diana Lockheart, the first princess of Leitol.

"Normal" Said Diana.

She didn't say anymore, a simple word, however, Wilbert and the rest didn't expect anything else from her, after all, Susana didn't like to talk too much.

"Raul, I heard that you had some discoveries in the south?" Asked Wilbert.

"Yes, father, as my report says, the current crown prince of Greycastle, Martin Laplace seems to have inherit the throne, it seems that something big is happening in Greycastle" Answered Raul.

Raul had long blonde hair and had a normal height, he wore a black armor and had two daggers on his side.

"That seems to be the case… however, we aren't going to talk about work today, lastly my youngest daughter, Susana, how is your studies going" Asked Wilbert.

"Father, everything is going alright, as you know, my teachers cant satisfy my studies anymore so I want to make a announcement and I am willing to pay more than two golds per hour to the person who can teach me new things" Said Susana.

"I will prepare it for you… My daughters and sons, today, I have call you all for a reason" Said Wilbert.

"IN TWO DAYS, WE WILL HAVE THE FUNERAL FOR YOUR LATE BROTHER, ALFONSO LOCKHEART" Announced Wilbert.
