NOVEL NEXT The Easvil family
Beside Grand Duke Augustus sat a woman who appeared to be in her 40s but had the beauty of a much younger woman. Her face was simply beautiful, glowing with the youthful enthusiasm of someone in her 30s.
Her curvy, voluptuous figure only added to her allure making her presence just as captivating as the duke's. She held an air of elegance and despite her age, time seemed to have barely touched her leaving her as enchanting as ever.
She was Gregoria, the Grand Duchess and the wife of Augustus. Her beauty and allure made her a striking figure at the table which perfectly complemented the powerful presence of her husband.
Opposite to them sat a man in his 30s, his features handsome and smooth. He exuded a powerful aura, perhaps comparable to the older figures around the table.
His posture was confident and his gaze had strange intensity to it. Despite his youth, there was a strength about him that couldn't be ignored which made him a significant presence in the room.
He was Duke Alden Easvil, Julian's father and head of the Easvil family, one of the kingdom's four duke families. He had terrifying authority and power. His handsome features and powerful presence made it clear that he was a force to be reckoned with, embodying the strength and legacy of his lineage.
Beside him sat a woman in her 30s, stunning and attractive. Her perfect, curvy figure drew everyone's attention and there was an undeniable charm about her that left others in awe. She carried herself with an air of confidence with her smile radiant as she engaged in conversation.
She was Duchess Regina, Julian's mother and Duke Alden's wife. It was clear she was not just beautiful but also had a presence that lit up the room which made her an unforgettable sight among the gathering.
Beside them were other important figures including Julian's two older sisters, Eleanor and Eva.
Both were strikingly pretty with seductive and alluring figures that they had clearly inherited from their mother. They carried themselves with a grace that turned heads and drew attention from everyone in the room.
Julian approached the table with a confident stride, bowing slightly towards the main seat as he greeted his grandparents. "Good morning Grandpa and Grandma." He said in a gentle and respectful tone.
He then turned to his parents, bowing again with the same respect. "Good morning Mother and Father" he said, his tone filled with warmth.
"Why are you late, Julian?" Regina asked, her tone slightly furious as she fixed him with an intense gaze.
Julian replied with a smile, "I was admiring the beauty of the morning sky."
He gestured towards the window hoping to lighten the mood.
"You've seen how captivating it can be, right? I couldn't help but take a moment to appreciate it." His voic was playful but he sensed that his mother wasn't quite ready to let him off the hook just yet.
But Augustus laughed, his voice rich and warm cutting through the tension.
"Leave him be, Regina! He's young, he might have too much on his plate" His eyes twinkled with amusement as he looked at Julian clearly enjoying his grandson's carefree spirit.
The atmosphere lightened as the others joined in his laughter which eased Regina's frustration.
Julian took his seat at the table, feeling the familiar sense of belonging wash over him. He reached eagerly for the foods served before him, his plate quickly full of savoury delights.
He took in the taste of food, exchanging conversation with his siblings and enjoying the warmth of family around him.
Julian lived in the Ares Kingdom, a land known for its breathtaking landscapes and culture. Tall hills, lush forests and sparkling rivers painted the scenery making it a place of natural beauty.
The kingdom was rich in history filled with ancient castles and grand halls where important events took place. The people of Ares were proud of their heritage and worked together to maintain the peace and prosperity of their land.
Festivals were widespread in Ares Kingdom from simple harvest to war victory. The marketplace were busy filled with merchants that sold goods and shared their story of adventure.
