Role

Chapter 3

The already existing jealousy within Darbod grew out of control. Wishing so
badly to also ascend from the lower class he decided to approach the princess
in a similar fashion. While she was walking through the garden with her royal
guards one afternoon, Darbod neared to make his appeal. Dressed in his finest
armament, decorated with a silken sash, he kneeled before the princess and
repeated the other man's words, "I exist to serve you, my princess."

This time, however, the princess was not impressed. She scoffed at Darbod,
"You may serve me by staying away, foul beast." With a dismissive wave of her
hand she signalled for the guards to remove Darbod from the palace garden. In
the most humiliating moment of his life, he was tossed out on the street like
a piece of trash. As he picked himself up, his jealousy and humiliation
quickly turned into rage.

Darbod used all of his wits to come up with a plan for revenge. Even better
than serving a princess would be to serve an immortal. Even more powerful
than the royalty of Seantryn Modan was the Emperor of Thera. He decided to
serve Lord Destuvius and rise through the ranks of the Empire. Then, one day,
he will return to the palace and force the princess to give up her life by
bearing his child.
