{Y/N POV}
All I've ever been taught was to be kind and strong. My parents always told me that no matter what situation we were in. Weather it was a good one or a bad one, all I'd ever hear was "No matter what, be kind and from kindness you will gain strength." I guess that was a family saying or something. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door that sent me out of my daze and Maddie walked in.

Maddie: Y/N, you up?

I looked out the window of my bedroom in the second tallest tower in the castle. The sun was just starting to rise.

Y/N: WHAT?! MADDIE, WHY THE HELL DIDN'T ANYONE WAKE ME UP?!

I threw the sheets off of by body and jumped out of bed.

Maddie: I'm sorry, Y/N! It's just that... You looked so peaceful and Lucas was with me too so he told me not to wake you up. If you want someone to blame, go blame Lucas!

I froze. Did she just say... Lucas? She listened to Lucas?

Y/N: Maddie... Why in the name of Irene would you even consider listening to what Lucas ever has to say?

Maddie: I'm sorry!

I sighed heavily. Heh, Maddie's too cute sometimes. New recruits always are. I turned around and gave Maddie a hug.

Y/N: It's alright, Maddie. I forgive you. But that doesn't mean I'm letting this slip by.

I let her pull away from my grasp.

Maddie: Right, I'll go get ready for early morning training. See ya then, Y/N!

Maddie ran out he door. Like I said, too cute. I grabbed a pair of brown canvas pants that I always wore under my armor, as well as a white cotton tunic. Finally, I quickly pulled my H/L, H/C hair back with a leather strap into a high ponytail. After I finished getting ready, I ran down the stairs to the kitchen where Emma, the lord's chef, was preparing a big breakfast for the family.

Y/N: Good morning, Emma.

Emma: Y/N! What are you doing up so late?!

Y/N: Lucas. Lucas is why I'm up so late.

Emma: Lucas? The young recruit? He sure is a troublemaker, isn't he? Well, I'm sure you'll get him straightened out when you become lord. He'll have to listen to you then.

Y/N: Yeah, when I become- wait, wut? D-did I just hear you say... Lord?!

Emma froze and looked up at me. I could tell she knew she had made a big mistake.

Emma: He hasn't told you yet? Oh my Irene, I just spoiled the surprise... I am so sorry, Y/N.

Y/N: Emma, where did you get that information from? I'm not cut out to be a lord. I was born to be a guard.

Emma: Well, that's not what Lord Fyre says. I heard him talking about passing down the lordship to you while I was serving him lunch the other day. I think he explained it somewhere among the lines of "She meets all the standards of being a lord. I know that I can trust her with my people."

Y/N: Em, are you sure he was talking about me? Lord Fyre told me that he was planning on passing down the lordship to his second oldest nephew. The one from O'Khasis.

Emma: That's not what I heard... Oh, you must be hungry. Here, I made your favorite.

Emma stopped working and reached down below the counter. She placed in front of me a silver tray with toast, scrambled eggs, and an apple along with a glass of orange juice.

Y/N: Thank you, Emma. I greatly appreciate it.

I took a bite out of the apple and ate the rest of my food right then and there. After I had finished, Emma took my dishes and placed them on a tray with other dirty dishes used for cooking.

Emma: Oh dear, I forgot to mention that lord Fyre told me to tell you to meet him at the docks. He said it was fairly urgent.

Y/N: Well then, I'd better be off. Thank you for the breakfast, Emma.

Emma: Any time. Oh, and you didn't hear the information about you becoming lord from me! Got it?

I nodded my head and ran out the door with my apple in hand. The docks weren't far from the castle, so I got there in no time. As I approached the docks, I saw a large wooden ship and lord Fyre was standing next to it. I walked up to lord Fyre and he gave me a hug.

Fyre: Good morning, my dear. How did you sleep?

Y/N: Lord Fyre, may I ask what is going on? I don't think we were expecting any deliveries today. If we were, I would've been notified a few weeks in advance.

Fyre: Oh Y/N, you know you can call me Aiden. No need to be so formal. And no, we are not expecting any deliveries today. My older brother and his wife have come to visit. They're very excited to meet you considering how much I've told them about you. Ah, here they come now.

I looked towards the ship and a large ramp was pushed off of the boat. Soon after, a man and woman emerged from the ship, their arms linked. The man was tall and had short, curly blonde hair. His eyes were a vibrant blue that seemed as if he were wearing sapphires on his eyes. The woman, however, was shorter and had long black hair that looked like a night sky. Her eyes were also blue, but were a very light blue that seemed to shine. I also thought that they could represent stars in her hair that was dark as night. Aiden walked up to the man and held his hand out to shake his.

Fyre: Ah, Garte. What a pleasure to see you again, brother.

Garte: The pleasure is all mine, Aiden.

Fyre: And Zianna, it's been too long.

Zianna: Oh Aiden, is this our little Y/N?

Zianna and Garte both stared at me with kind eyes. Their appearances were so perfect.

Fyre: Of course. Y/N here is like a daughter to me.

Zianna: Oh, she is just beautiful, Aiden! But are you sure she's ready?

Fyre: I've never been more sure in my life.

Garte: Aiden-

Fyre: Shush, brother. I've made up my mind and I do not intend to change it. When the time comes, Y/N shall be the lord of Dragonoore Village.
