He had made squire two years past, nigh unheard of, chosen by the castle’s castellan, the old veteran Seer Lars Reddan. He had the makings of a chevalier, the great magi of the Lyceum told him, and already he could feel the mana tingling hungrily in his fingertips. Even so, he was a poor boy, the third-born son of a lowly castle knight; his love was a princess, daughter of Torriq the Hammer and promised to another. No, I must not dwell on such things. She is the emperor’s heir; surely she can choose her own

So far, she’s alone, her husband made be dead, her son is not old enough to rule. To top it off, there are suitors that heard that the king has died at war, now there is a free spot on the throne of Ithaca. Since she is a woman and not the king, she only owns at least thirty-five to forty percent of the kingdom because women were not considered full citizens. But the only thing holding the suitors at bay is she has to decide marry someone. After all, the suitors cannot take the kingdom forcefully, if they were to do that. They would be killed and/or kicked out of Ithaca. Furthermore, the queen cannot do anything. Literally, she cannot do anything. She wants to go outside, then she has to put on heavy, and opaque clothing on and make sure not to reveal anything to anyone outside the

Esther was an orphan who was raised by her cousin Mordecai (Leath, 2010). There came a time that she would go from orphan to queen. Esther lived in Persia, where King Ahasuerus ruled.
