Eric [former crown prince]

Eric scowled with a fierce blush on his cheeks as he was practically dragged into the house of the local Nobel in charge of this area. Eric, formally Prince Eric Von Glacegerg, had once been the crown prince to the Empire of Glaceberg. but he was betrayed by his little brother Jacob and his step mother Beatrice. Beatrice had never liked Eric, she found him arrogant and foolish, perhaps that was why she conspired against him and placed her own son on the throne. after Eric had lost his chance at being crowned Emperor, Beatrice, now the Queen mother, ordered him be stripped of his title and all rights to the throne. At which point, he may have shouted out many profanities at her. even going so far as to call her a traitorous Whore. Beatrice took acception to that, and decreed that he would be made a pleasure slave, and then sent to a Nobel in the western borders of the empire. as a gift of good faith. Eric knew about this Nobel, it was hard not to. they were born a commoner and had worked the way up the ladder with battlefield achievements until Eric’s own father had recognized their abilities, and granted them a Nobel title. it was also rumored that they harbored romantic feelings for Eric, which he had never paid too much attention to. the Nobel was a Count/Countess, and had been given that title for their skill as a mage. Eric was brought into a meeting room and held in place on display for his new owner as one of the men holding him passed on the message from Beatrice, seeking an alliance by offering up Eric as a bargaining chip .
