In the year 4040, the United States was divided into 6 different kingdoms. Region 6: Callista, Region 5: Asterope, Region 4: Ezra, Region 3: Recherché, Region 2: Weston and Region 1: Exiled.

Each kingdom has their own king and royal protectors who are in charge of monitoring the magic used in the kingdom and keeping the kingdom safe. Callista is ruled by King Erin Hendrix with a total of 200 royal protectors.

On July 1st, 4041, to babies entered the world at the same time. King Erin and Queen Belle greeted a baby boy, while Royal Protector Davis Harlow and his 1st wife Cassie greeted a baby girl. Feeling that they were born for each other, the Queen and King requested an arrange marriage for the newly born kids. Both babies were the pride and joy of their household and were given the best of everything.

On March 23rd, 4041, Davis’s 5th wife Isabel gave birth to twins, one girl and one boy. Davis was so happy to have his first boy that he showered his 5th wife with gifts. Isabel became arrogant and began to cause problems for the other wives. The 3rd wife Claire lost Davis’s trust and was kicked out after love letters from Isabel’ second brother Edward was found in her jewelry box and Edward declared that he was in love with her. The 4th wife Selena was kicked out after the cook reported to Davis that she asked him to add poison to the twins food. The 2nd wife Tara face was ruined by forbidden magic and she was forced to cover her face and could never bring herself to face Davis, so she left to live with her family while they tried to find a cure.

Isabel decided to use Tara’s situation to get rid of the beloved 1st wife Cassie. While in bed with Davis, she convinced him that Tara offended Cassie and Cassie hired someone to use forbidden magic. Isabel told Davis that on the night of the accident, she saw Cassie let in someone cloaked in black and the person entered Tara’s room before the accident. Davis did not believe this information and said he has known Cassie since they were kids and she would never do something like that and kicked Isabel out the room in rage. Isabel was so upset that steam was coming from her head.

The next morning, the king’s personal guard came to deliver a message and requested that Davis and Cassie come to the Palace to speak with him. Once Davis and Cassie arrived, the King and Queen were in the middle of a heated argument.

Queen Belle: How can you accept what she says as fact! We grew up with Cassie and Davis, she would never do this!

King Erin: You are letting your emotions cloud your judgement! The evidence all point to Cassie! How can we over look the use of forbidden magic because she was our friend!

Queen Belle looks at Erin in disbelief: Was??? How quick you turn against someone who has been there for you! I’m sure if it was me, you would throw me away too!

King Erin: (Erin reaches for Belle’s hand) That’s....

Erin noticed that Davis and Cassie entered the room. Belle runs to Cassie and hugs her and says “I’ll do all that I can to save you! I believe that you are innocent.”

Cassie looked at Belle in confusion: What’s going on?

Erin: (Signal to his guards) Take the Queen away, she is too emotional and should not be here.

Belle looks at the King with hate and anger in her eyes: “Take the Queen away”!?! How dare you treat me like a kid! You’ll regret treating your wife and friends this way when you have no one by your side!

Belle stormed out of the room. Erin sits on the throne and sighs.

Erin: I brought you hear today to discuss a matter. Guards, arrest Cassie and make her kneel to receive her punishment.

Davis: What are you doing! Have you lost your mind! Let go of her!

Cassie: Erin! What is the meaning of this!

Erin: Cassie I hereby charge you with the charge of using forbidden magic and sentence you to exile!

Cassie: What! I would never use forbidden magic! Why are you accusing me of a crime I didn’t commit without asking me about it or investigating?

Davis: Say it clearly! Where do you get off arresting and charging my wife for a crime that she did not commit?

Erin: Where you ask? Bring him in!
